Chapter 109 - 5th Prince
Chapter 109 - 5th Prince
Even if Dante's talent was heaven-defying, it didn't mean they would continuously fawn over him.
At the end of the day, talent was just a show of future potential.
When compared to the top powerhouses in the country , Dante's strength was nothing to even blink at!
In this world, strength is, and will always be, the most important thing in this world!
"If that's the game you want to play the then Vincent, I guess I can't compete with you.
I just hope you don't grow to regret your decision in the future..."
realising he couldn't compete anymore, Marcus let out a cold snort before quickly vanishing from the scene
The other department heads didn't react any differently to Marcos, and also quickly left the scene.
"Haha! Look at them run!"
Vincent laughed as he savoured the frustration of his fellow department heads.
After Vincent finished laughing to his heart's content, he then turned to Dante and spoke
"I'm going to need some time to approve the documents needed to grant you the official position as Dragon Son of my department.
But don't worry, you already have the privileges of a Dragon Son. I just need to get some documents to make it official.
When I leave, you can just follow the instructions of the examiner and I'll get back to you soon."
after saying these words, Vincent quickly rose into the air and left the scene.
After Vincent left, Dante looked up towards his grandfather, only to see him flash after Vincent as well .
'what the hell is even going on?' thought Dante
But before Dante could even finish his words, he felt an arm around him
"Dante, you absolute monster!"
"Dragon Son! You actually became a Dragon Son. Do you even know what that means?"
Lennox almost couldn't believe it.
who would have thought he'd witness the appointment of a Dragon Son right in front of him, and of the very department he wanted to join no less!
"Now that you're famous, Dante, you're gonna have to help a brother out!
Put a good word in for me. You're the dragon son of my department after all"
listening to Lennox's words, Dante burst out laughing
"Hahaha! Don't worry brother, I got you"
Dante and Lennox were laughing and joking as they walked towards the next area.
But as Dante was walking, he saw somebody standing in his path waiting for him.
It was a young man with sky blue hair and a confident posture
Suddenly, the young man approached Dante.
"Dante, I believe?" asked the young man
"Yeah.. my name is Dante," replied Dante
"Haha! no need to be so stiff. Let me introduce myself.
My name is Edwin Vaenam, 5th prince of the Vaenam kingdom"
Hearing this, Dante wasn't fazed in the slightest.
After all, the sky blue hair was a clear giveaway as to what family he was part of.
In response, Dante put on a welcoming smile as he calmly replied,
"It's a pleasure to meet you, your Highness."
"There's no need to be so formal." replied prince Edwin
"I just came over to you as I saw your excellent display during the entrance tests and have been really impressed by your talent.
I would like to talk to you more about your achievements and talents at a later date."
As soon as Prince Edwin finished saying those words, Dante felt countless pairs of eyes stare at his back from the shadows.
It was at that moment that Dante finally realised who he was talking to.
He was talking to a prince!
A fully fledged member of the Royal family!
If all the novels he'd read and movies from his past life had taught him anything about Royal families, it was that they were never a peaceful group.
Schemes, plots, and acts of sabotage.
These were just some of the twisted things common in the Royal family. But when it involved those competing for the throne, it somehow managed to get even worse!
And now that such a prince was speaking to him, Dante had to be careful.
He wasn't just a regular nobody anymore.
He was now the Dragon son of the Department of war, one of the most influential positions in the Hidden Dragon Academy.
And Now different from before, his every move will now be under public scrutiny.
Who knows if some people will take his action as a sign of him joining the 5th princes faction?
Dante couldn't afford to make such a stupid move
He just didn't have enough information on the state of the Royal family to be making choices like that, so instead he decided to just play it safe.
"I'm sorry 5th prince, but I won't be able to arrange a time to meet with you anytime soon.
I have just arrived in the capital and still need some time to truly settle down.
Please forgive me, your highness."
As Dante said this, he stepped past the Prince Edwin and carried on heading down the path.
The stunned Lennox looked at Edwin for a few seconds before hurrying to follow after Dante.
Although he was calm as he watched Dante leave, Prince Edwin was internally fuming.
Because of his etiquette training as prince, he still managed to keep a calm external appearance, but internally, Edwin was going berserk.
'How dare he! A mere peasant from the country!
I appreciate his talent and yet he has the audacity to reject friendship in public.
Too arrogant! The boy is too arrogant!'
But despite all of Prince Edwin's fury, he knew that realistically, there was nothing he could actually do!
The name Dragon Son wasn't just for show.
As the star child of an entire department, the Dragon Son really wasn't someone to be messed with.
The power they held made them someone practically untouchable for most people
In fact, when compared to some of the more irrelevant princes and princesses, A Dragon Son of a department was even more important to the kingdom than them!
And for such a prince with a weaker faction like Prince Edwin, someone like Dante was practically untouchable!
Edwin could only watch on with gritted teeth as Dante leisurely strolled away.
...
Further along the path, Dante and Lennox were walking towards their next destination.
suddenly Lennox spoke up.
"Back there with the prince..."
"Don't worry, I didn't agree with anything stupid."
"phew!"
hearing this, Lennox couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"You know, the situation in side the royal family has always been pretty volatile.
I can't tell which choices to make, Dante, but I can advise you on one thing.
