Kapitel 66: Ch 67: Chase after him - part 1

A stunned silence followed after the Duke declared this. He was not beating around the bush, and his serious face made people frown and step back.

"Lord Lukewater, you need to do something. If you don't, Duke Lockhart will have all the attention and control over the situation. As a future Duke, doesn't that bruise your ego?"

One of the kids tried to egg Daidus into reacting and speaking up against the Duke in front of him.

Daidus looked back at his 'friend' with a deadpan expression.

"This is not even my kingdom, let alone my territory. I have no right to interfere in the affairs of this place. So, I cannot interfere."

Daidus was a kid, but he was not stupid. He knew the difference between when he needed to speak up and when he needed to keep quiet.

He had no intention of gaining the ruthless Duke Lockhart's attention, but the Duke noticed him first, causing Daidus to look at him nervously.
