The Court Duke’s arrogant actions made Felix lower his head and tightly close his eyes.
More than anger, he felt sorrow.
The sight of the Emperor, unable to reprimand a noble for interrupting him, was disheartening.
And the Court Duke, behaving as if such insolence was his right, made it painfully clear how far the imperial authority had fallen.
"As expected of the Court Duke…"
The Emperor was nothing more than a puppet, wearing a crown that held no real power.
The only ones who still upheld their loyalty to him were the military.
- "So much for the esteemed captain of the First Knight Order."
- "Thick-skinned, isn’t he? Freely admitting his own incompetence."
- "A disgrace of a man leading the proud First Order."
- "How could such a fool hold the title of captain?"
- "Ragnar…? Could it be rebellion?"
- "But there hasn’t been any report of northern troops mobilizing."
