The rest of the group didn't know how to react, but luckily, the Fourth Imperial Prince broke the tension.
"Caught."
Klaus drove things forward as Cain took a step back from Aurelia.
"The young man at your right is Alex Umbra, son of the Minister of Information."
Alex was a young man with a body nearly two ters and twenty centiters tall, yet despite that massive physique, if you didn't focus on him, you could barely detect his presence.
Cain was soone who trained in assassination arts and could be considered a great master in it, so he was sure that this young man was also soone extrely dangerous and a seasoned spy or killer.
It takes one to recognize one, which was why Alex also perceived Cain's training as a killer. While it might be imperceptible for others, he imdiately detected it when he saw Cain's movents through the hall.
"I am glad to et soone who trained in the Aegon Family's techniques."
Alex stretched his hand, and Cain did the sa, and with a single handshake, their eyes narrowed before nodding to each other. It was silent, but there was a clash between the two, and they both knew that if they attacked with pure assassination techniques, neither would co out fine.
Klaus saw Cain's effect on the younger mbers of the group, but there was not much he could do since it was normal for a young genius to ignite the fighting spirit of others.

Cain stared at Nova, and just as expected, she was a beautiful woman with long blonde hair and a well-defined body, but his eyes focused on her single golden left wing. That was not the result of a spell or energy incantation but an actual appendage, most likely due to her bloodline.
External physical alterations due to your Lineage were not uncommon among those with powerful bloodlines. Yet, Cain's eyes did not remain on the wing for long since he turned to the old man behind her, who looked like a stone statue.
It was not normal for the escorts of the Imperial Princes to bring people with them, but just like Krane, they should be tactful, not interfere in the discussions of others, and remain at a suitable distance.
"Ahhh, ignore him. Uncle Rokus is just fulfilling his role given by my father. I am happy to et the young legend of the Blood Sea."
Cain showed a small smile and nodded to the woman. He felt the great might of the man and was sure this one was not much weaker than Bloodless #1, so he made sure to mark Nova as soone he should not bother.
The group had just finished their introductions when Cain's eyes narrowed. He was not alone since many people in the hall did the sa as they felt a powerful aura approaching.
Soon, a group of six people entered the hall. Each of them had a vibrant aura full of great power.
Cain's eyes imdiately narrowed as he focused on the group and saw Magnus among them. But he wasn't the only familiar face since he also saw Iris Xurong, the young woman he helped survive in Saharo City.
There was also a middle-aged man who could simply be defined as a giant, nearly three ters in height at the back of the group, and who wore a black mask over his face.
However, like everybody else, his eyes soon focused on the trio at the lead since two of them were not humans. The one to the right had draconic scales on the side of his body, covering his arms and legs, and a long tail around his waist.
Not only were the physical characteristics striking, but the bloodline aura of this one did not belong to humankind.
As for the one on the left, it was even more evident that he was not human. He had a tallic humanoid body with crystal eyes glowing with blue light.
They were mbers of the Deus Bahamut Race and Anima chanicus Race, the allies of the Godslayer Humankind against the Dark Race.
It was the first ti Cain saw mbers of the other race in the flesh, or tal in this case, and he was not alone. Not only was there an imnse ocean between Gaia and their ho continent, but they were also very reclusive. Not to ntion that the duo was clearly not normal, as one could tell from their vibrant life force and auras.
As for the one who assembled such a group, that was none other than a young man with a white crown over his head. Just like all the other Imperial Princes, he had golden pupils, but his aura was like a burning star in the dark sky, drawing the attention of everybody.
He had dark hair, and strange runes covered his body, glowing with bursting bloodline power.
"The Crown Prince."
Cain imdiately recognized the man as none other than the First Imperial Prince. He was not over one hundred years old but had already evolved beyond the Wave King level, the oldest son of the Golden Emperor and also the strongest.
The current might of the Crown Prince was unknown, but there were tales of him challenging Titans. As for the outco of those battles, there was no way to say for sure, but everybody already accepted that he had the power to battle Divine Ascension Cultivators!
There was a radiant smile on the Crown Prince's face as he stared at the rest of the people in the hall, imdiately becoming the center of attention. His aura was so imnse that it made everybody feel drawn to him.
'Michael Goldsoul.'
Cain's eyes grew sharp as he stared at the Crown Prince and felt the imnse strength of this one, one so mighty that it was hard for him even to perceive it.
The Crown Prince did not say a word and simply walked with his group into the hall with a large smile, and soon, people began to walk toward him.
Everybody recognized the one approaching the Crown Prince. He was very similar to Michael in appearance, but their auras could not be more different. That person was none other than the Third Imperial Prince.
While the Third Imperial Prince was far from the power or fa of his brother, no one dared to go against this one since he and the Crown Prince had the sa mother.
Cain noticed the Fourth Azure Prince in the group of the Third Imperial Prince and could not help but frown when he saw the man looking back with a poisonous glance.
Silence reigned for a few seconds as Michael appeared, but noise soon returned, and people began to talk among themselves.
"THUMP!"
That sound marked the beginning of the feast, and everybody went to their seats. There were two seats of tables spread across the hall, leaving the center empty. The one closest to the center belonged to the Imperial Princes, Princesses, and escorts, while the one behind was for their companions.
On the right side of the tables were the Fourth Prince, accompanied by two Imperial Princes and one Princess. Right in front of them was a group composed of one Princess at the center, flanked by two Imperial Princes.
As for the head, that was a place where the Crown Prince and Third Imperial Prince were sitting.
Cain's eyes narrowed as he analyzed the formation of their seats and knew it was not coincidental. It was clear there were three groups among the Imperial Princes and Princesses. The one with the lesser numbers belonged to the Crown Prince, but while the Third Prince was the weakest, Michael's power alone was enough to support their coalition.
It did not take long for people with refined attire to enter the hall and deposit food that was not only pleasing to the sight but the amount of energy and aura in it was overwhelming.
Cain was surprised to see the food since not only was it full of energy, but its scent generated a reaction in his bloodline. It was regular food in this place, but he was sure it would be a treasure anywhere else, capable of drawing great battles.
The waiters put the food in place and silently left the room. While everybody wanted to enjoy the feast, no one dared to break etiquette, and they all waited as the Crown Prince raised his cup.
"My brothers and sisters, allow to express how happy I am to see all of you gathered at the sa table. It has been a long ti since I last saw all your faces. Let's hope we can repeat this very soon."
As the Crown Prince raised his cup, every other Imperial Prince and Princess did the sa and took a drink as if they were commorating the occasion. Of course, that was just the public image they would present since everybody knew they did not get along very well.
