Chapter 90

Calypso was confident.

On the other hand, she didn't think that a mere three-year-old would believe her just because she said so.

That's why Calypso took advantage of her solid ally at this moment.

"If I vouch for you, Lord Pierre Aquasiadel will stand behind you."

"......"

"Whether you like it or not, I can make it happen."

"......"

"You like power, don't you?"

If pressed, that was true.

Belus always felt that Calypso was seeing through him.

Where did she get this information from?

Belus stared at Calypso with a cold, Pierre-like gaze and spoke.

"......Before I answer, I have a question."

"Sure, what is it?"

"How did this happen? I can't help but ask why the Dragon Duke is here in front of me."

His reaction was calmer and more composed than expected.

Calypso was surprised by this unexpected response.

But even so, simply informing him that the Dragon Duke was here and revealing the details were two different things.

'The royal scheme is information that can be misused.'

Calypso, who had the memories of the third cycle, wanted to cherish and take good care of Belus.

However, she didn't trust the current Belus.

'Ah, really, such a family full of distrust.'

She laughed inwardly with a strange thought.

"I can't tell you. Not unless you swear by the sea that you won't reveal it......"

"I will."

"Really, you won't, huh?"

Why is he like this? Calypso was surprised again by the unexpected response.

But she soon accepted it calmly.

Fine, if he swears.

He won't reveal it at the cost of his own life.

Calypso looked at Echion and recounted everything that had happened.

She summarized it as briefly as possible, so the story wasn't long.

'I thought he would be surprised this time. ...At this point, the saying "like father, like son" fits him and his dad perfectly, doesn't it?'

Even after hearing the entire story, Belus remained calm and composed, just like Pierre.

He was not only calm but also cold and serene.

"I can't tell Grandma what's going on, can I?"

"That's right. I didn't think that far, but you figured it out on your own?"

It's too late to regret it, kid.

Calypso shrugged.

There was a blind spot in the oath Belus had just made by the sea.

While he couldn't tell the head of the family about the royal scheme, he could still reveal the existence of the Dragon Duke.

Belus was aware of this.

'Surely, weaponizing the Dragon Duke is a dangerous plan for Aquasiadel as well.'

The Dragon Duke had always been a neutral entity.

Neither a land animal nor a sea creature, but a divine being.

But if a living legend were to belong to one side and become a weapon, it would be different.

These people, who already discriminated against and despised sea creature summoners and would try to drive them out at any opportunity, would undoubtedly try to subjugate it without hesitation.

"Wouldn't it be better to be honest with Grandma?"

"I don't trust the head of the family. Do you really think Grandma will believe me to what extent?"

"......"

"I only trust Echion and Master here."

"Is that so."

Belus continued.

"I won't reveal the existence of the Dragon Duke. Is that all you want?"

Calypso was taken aback.

'What kind of change in mindset is this?'

Belus looked at Pierre, not Calypso.

Belus thought that if there were people who would never change over time, they would be the head of the family, Ocula Aquasiadel, and his father, Pierre Aquasiadel.

However, they showed behavior they wouldn't normally show when it came to their younger sister.

How could he not be curious after witnessing all of this?

"I came here because I genuinely care about you, Calypso Aquasiadel."
