Charles had been a new face in these parts. He wasn't originally born in Kalopsia, rather in parts not too far away. How unfitting for the country to be split in two just after he arrived. Luckily, he hadn't developed much of a patriotic warmth towards the place, so he remained unfazed by the change. But he could tell that it wasn't the same for some of those around him. Even now, he could feel an uneasy ripple through the crowd as they listened to Frederick speak. He only pursed his lips, eyes remaining blank as he stared expectantly at his leader, still watching him even after leaving the podium's side.
The unfamiliar man that spoke up had a good point, though. He had spoken of proving their place, yet he hadn't exactly specified what was to be done. He wasn't afraid of being kicked out, but it would also be a major inconvenience to have to move again so quickly. He was fine, as long as he didn't have to return to his parents, who he had put so much effort into getting away from. If he ended up crawling back to them, there was no telling what they would have planned.
Really, though, he had no reason to be thought of as a spy or some assassin aiming to stab the king in the back. He had barely spent a full year there, thus not having any sort of attachment to any of the leaders or their affairs. But even with this in mind, he could still feel paranoia tingling in his back, only because of the possibility of having to return to his childhood home.
