Orlan was taken aback by the question, but he had a rough idea of what Aston meant. He nodded slowly.
"Yes. Prince Nolan did heal both Syra and Alicia, and I can personally attest to that," he said solemnly.
Aston fell silent, his expression a blend of confusion, unease, and lingering doubt.
He drew a deep breath to steady himself, then asked again, "And... is it true, what they're saying? That you support Princess Elina?"
His gaze sharpened, searching Orlan's face for even the slightest flicker of hesitation.
But Orlan remained composed. Wearing a calm expression, he gave a slight nod and replied casually, "Yes, I support Princess Elina. And it's not just me—the entire Balfron family has pledged their support as well."
"What!? Even the Balfron family?" Aston's eyes widened in disbelief. "You didn't threaten them or use some kind of charm to win them over, did you?"
