<span style="font-weight:400">Keith tilted his head, "Why do you need to apologize for Todd?" He was surprised. Why did the girl have to apologize for Todd?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t you know?" Krystal frowned and exined, "Todd Mills is under my family''s control."
<span style="font-weight:400">"They are?" Keith blinked when he heard that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You don''t know?" Krystal''s frown turned even darker.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith scratched his head, "I really don''t know much about it." He was pretty much out of the loop with political stuff like this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t you know about the different noble families?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course, I know household names and such. I''m not that stupid," Keithmented with a proud expression.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But you don''t understand the structure, right?" Krystal gave him a strange look.
<span style="font-weight:400">Stab. Keith looked down when he heard that. That was a yes.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You got me there,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?" Krystal grabbed her head, "You should ask the princess about thister on,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Okay. But can''t you tell me some things?" From how she talked, it seemed Krystal knew a lot more about this than him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Fine. But this is the only time," Krystal sighed,
<span style="font-weight:400">"You understand that the royal family has the most power in our kingdom, right?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah," Julius was the king after all. Krystal followed,
<span style="font-weight:400">"And after that are the grand dukes. That would be your grandparent''s family and my family." Grand Duke Rustchil and Grand Duke Bradley.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The Grand Duke each watches their territory. That also includes monitoring the nobles there as well. We''re supposed to be the ones watching over them. So, for something like this to happen was an oversight."
<span style="font-weight:400">I see. Keith got it now. "It''s fine. You did nothing wrong. This was all Count Mills''s problem and not yours," It wasn''t her family''s fault. This was because Count Mills caused all the problems.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I still want to apologize for all the trouble he caused."
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s alright. Also, do you want to hang out more often?" Keith asked. Talking with Krystal was fun.
<span style="font-weight:400">Krystal shook her head, "This will be the only time we will talk to one another."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"The two of us are oil and water,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Keith tilted his head. Krystal didn''t say anything as she walked away from Keith. She only wanted to talk with him about the Count Mills incident.
<span style="font-weight:400">There was no point in talking with him any longer.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith scratched his head. Water and oil? What did she mean about this? He took a deep sigh. He couldn''t dwell on it as he knew nothing about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">I need to look around. Keith didn''t forget about looking through the city. He was going to find something that could spark some inspiration.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">While Keith continued to search around the city, looking for inspiration, he didn''t know Carolyn and the rest were at the manor.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you, everyone, foring here," Carolyn said. She was the one who called them. While Keith was out, she asked the rest to meet with her.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why did you call us here? And shouldn''t we include Keith in this?" Jack questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh, he doesn''t need to know." Carolyn shrugged.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do you need us for?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want to ask if any beastmen got out of line in your ss?" This was something she had to talk with them about. When that was said, the others nodded,
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s happening in our ss. The beastmen have been acting out of line thesest few days," Sarah sighed. It was surprising.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What about your ss, Arlo?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s the same thing in my ss. The beastmen are going crazy as well."
<span style="font-weight:400">"So it wasn''t only our ss," Carolyn sighed when she heard that. It was happening to all sses.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why are they acting like this?" Jack frowned. It was odd that something like that had happened. Gabriel thought about it,
<span style="font-weight:400">"I guess it had to do something with Herrick," Herrick was the prince of the beastmen. The others would follow his lead.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s wrong with him?" Carolyn shook his head, confused as to why they were doing this. The others didn''t say anything either. They were confused as to why he was doing this.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait, does Keith know about this?" Sarah questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn shook her head, "That guy doesn''t know a thing about it. He was spacing out throughout the entire ss,"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith was too focused on his cart to care about how Herrick acted out in the ss.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Also, I''m afraid that Keith would make things even worse," Carolyn muttered. She knew how Keith operated. That was why she didn''t call him here. There was a higher chance of him causing more problems.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." The others said nothing. But they thought about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Yeah, he might actually cause everything to be worse.
