"To be honest, not to sound out of place or anything."
Starke Drakes, who had been quietly listening to the conversations during the meeting without interrupting once, finally decided to share his thoughts.
"I believe we should just focus on the Second-Year General Representative."
He said calmly.
"Ehnn… Starke, don't you believe in me?"
Prince Charles Aethelmont looked at Starke in disbelief.
He had probably expected some support from his fellow faction members, but Starke had just made his opinion clear without showing any hesitation.
"Not that I don't believe in you. Well, I don't."
Starke replied straightforwardly.
Charles immediately held his chest as if a dagger had pierced his heart.
The look on his face made his reaction clear, but Starke remained as straightforward as ever.
He hadn't even tried to soften his words.
"Apart from even Lady Vera Ashenlocke, we have Lady Willow Derlis amongst the First Years going for the same post."
Starke continued.
