After the news of Grand Duchess Amerie was released, it had caused a huge uproar within the Stan Duchy.
Although the huge catastrophe that affected the entire world caused all the living to be in deep misery, those forces slightly maintaining power in the ruling family all expressed their disapproval toward the legitimacy of this grand duchess.
Especially Earl Rode.
This younger brother of Grand Duke Stan directly announced that he would not submit to the governance of the grand duchess, and even started gathering troops with some thoughts of attacking Santana.
If not for the Noether Kingdom being in a similar mess, and the awkward timing of many nobles busy providing disaster relief, he might have perhaps still chosen to lure this wolf into the house.
