Before he even knocked on the door, there was a voice coming from inside.

"Come in. The door is not locked." The tone was calm but had a pulling effect as if it was trying to attract him.

As soon as he saw his appearance, Noel fell to one knee, lowering his head. "Noel Ardagan greets the Third Prince."

"Hmm?" The middle-aged man frowned. He didn't expect Noel to kneel down that soon, so he asked, "I believe we haven't met yet. So, did your father tell you about me?"

"No." Noel shook his head.

"But it seems you know who I am… You're not going to answer me like it's just because my hair is white, right?"
