Chapter 70: Job

Erwin sat down at the table with Duke Richard, feeling trapped and helpless. He had no idea what the Duke wanted from him, but he had a bad feeling about it. The Duke, on the other hand, seemed pleased with himself and the situation.

As the dinner progressed, Duke Richard made small talk, asking Erwin about his interests, hobbies, and future plans. Erwin answered politely, trying his best to be cordial despite the discomfort he felt being in the presence of the Duke.

Eventually, the topic turned to Erwin's grandfather, the Queen, and her decision to renounce his title as Prince.

"What do you think about your grandfather's decision, Prince Erwin?" Duke Richard asked, his tone somewhat patronizing.

Erwin hesitated for a moment before responding carefully. "It was his decision to make, and I respect him for it. I am still a member of the Nightrage family, even if I am no longer the crown Prince."
