章 468: 466 Heir (Part 2)_1

The struggle for inheritance rights had been going on for a long time, and one could even say that the current dire situation in the East Territory was largely caused by it.

Truth be told, Count Nicoll had always been unwilling to get involved in this muddled mess.

He was old, his approach was becoming increasingly conservative, unwilling to engage in things such that return could be great, but the risk might be even greater. Moreover, the lessons learned from the Howell Family and the Brugen Family further convinced Count Nicoll of the need to sidestep these affairs.
