Old man Gerald shook his head as he watched Grey leave the room. 

A few minutes after Grey left, the Second Prince walked into the room. 

"How did it go?" The Second Prince asked while taking a seat. 

"Since he's not here, you can guess not too well," Old man Gerald replied. 

"*Sigh* I would've loved to see the person who is able to make father so worked up," The Second Prince said. 

"He's just like his Teacher, only more cool-headed. If Chris was the one the Emperor was searching for, he would've caused a major uproar in the empire," Old man Gerald said. 

"Teacher and student, both prodigies from their own generations. A shame I can't befriend them," The Second Prince shook his head, a little remorseful.
