Joe was, however, surprised that the crown prince had come to his rescue at all. He definitely did not want to think that the crown prince wanted to be his friend. But he was definitely extending a friendly hand. Now Joe had to decide which royal member he was going to side with.
Joe also had to make sure that his father was not angrier with him more than he already was. To send such a high ranked commander of his just for an alarm, those books must be something.
"Your highness, I believe we should be able to sort this out between ourselves. I would like to thank you for looking out for me," Joe said as he did the same salute as the elder brother.
The crown prince nodded. He understood that the arrival of this man meant something terrible must have happened here at the mansion. He was going to personally check with the duke to get to the bottom of this.
