บท 667: A governor with a duke as a personal guard.

Adler watched her leave and he turned to Tion. "Thank you for telling her that you would stay on. I know you don't mean it but it could keep her calm for a while."

"I am staying, or real." Tion assured him. 

Adler gave the other a look that said stop being ridiculous. "You are a duke in waiting. A duke cannot be a personal guard."

"Is there a law which says I cannot be one?" he responded. 

Adler raised his brows for a few seconds and he just looked at Tion, hefty confusion in his gaze. There was no such law, that much was true but a duke working as a personal guard for anyone, even for someone as powerful as the emperor himself would be ridiculous. 

"There is no law but..."

Tion raised his hands and said with absolute confidence. "Case closed."
