At the founding ceremony, Leonard also learned the true identity of his father-in-law.

He was shocked to find out that he was the great Duke Hispenril.

Though this might have made him feel burdened or distant, the relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law remained unchanged.

The Duke had always been particularly fond of his son-in-law, and he was a passionate admirer of the Rodell family, often expressing his admiration.

No matter how his status was revealed, his attitude toward Leonard remained the same.

"Is our son-in-law alright? It seems like he hasn't slept well, seeing how his scapula muscles have shrunk. He must have been losing sleep out of worry. You should drink first, my dear."

"I’ll drink later. Please, Your Grace, you should drink first."
