Chapter 453: Chapter 449: Declare

High Duke Oris introduced the man who was selected to be the new marquis by him.

He talked about his achievements and what he had done for the betterment of the Empire. Ryder wasn't the least bit interested in these things since it wasn't a big deal for him. 

He was certain that the man deserved the position. All needed scrutiny was most probably already done by High Duke Oris, but he still listened.

He couldn't show how bored he was when facing the people in front of him. He had to act the part at least, and thus, he listened.

"Impressive," Ryder complimented after High Duke Oris finished. "I believe in your decision as well. Kaia is a good choice to take the position of the diseased Marquis."

"I believe so," High Duke Oris agreed.

Ryder shifted his focus back to the middle-aged man and asked, "Kaia, do you promise to work with full honesty and take care of my citizens like they are your own family?"
