Chương 196: Conflict

Westhill City was the capital of Westwood Province, the Tulip Family's fief. It was also an important and bustling commercial city of the Empire. It could also be considered the Tulip Family’s main headquarters.

The entire city had been waiting for the Duke’s arrival with excitement. They were all given an unprecedented warm welcome at the city where the people regarded the Duke of the Tulip Family as a God and worshipped him. The only problem was that the Duke did not appear.

On the first day itself, Rody used the Duke’s appearance to meet with the local representatives. His acting was good enough. At the very least he gave the impression that the Duke’s health was not good. This was also because Nicole had given him a special medicine that made his body sweat continuously. When they see the Duke's pale expression, his weak voice and excessive sweating, they started to become worried for the pillar of the Empire.
