CH 252 ~ Cathain's Insecurity

Imperial Palace, Valentino Empire~ 

"Mercy is a blade with two edges," 

"Wield it well, and it brings peace...Wield it poorly, and it invites betrayal." 

The emperor muses as Noah yawns. He doesn't know why, but Noah feels sleepy every time the emperor speaks. Then, his father kicks him on the legs and makes him sit straight.

"Pardon for interrupting, but I, too, agree with Sir Isaac, regarding the princess's decision of mercy." 

The words of the youngest son of Marquise Spade attracted everyone's attention as Cathain narrowed his eyes at the unfamiliar name. 

Sir Isaac? 

Where did he pop out from?
