Convincing Rita

He stood up and started to move out of the room. Before he could get out, the Emperor said to him, "I will indeed forgive you if you complete this mission but be careful about my son Dante. His talent in magic isn't as amazing as Rita but he is very intelligent. After returning from this war against the Sea God Race, he will be even more powerful and know how to lead. The benefits he will receive will be another matter which even I cannot anticipate. I don't think he even needs 5 years before he will be able to challenge me for the position of Emperor so do be careful."

Saito nodded his head and replied, "I am incredibly thankful to Emperor for cautioning me. I shall be careful." Saito was completely serious because he himself felt that the Crown Prince was a terrifying individual.
