Those who can walk around the Silver Castle.
Are absolutely the most trusted confidants of the Duke of Silver.
They even understand the Duke's rebellious heart against the empire and are unconditionally loyal to their Lord.
What differentiates The North from other places is.
That the feudal system is still in place here.
As the saying goes, the master of my master is not my master.
Vassals are firstly loyal to their Lord, and only then to the empire behind their Lord.
The empire ignored the centuries of barrenness and famine in The North, allowing the Duke of Silver to maintain his lordship generation after generation, and also ensuring the unwavering loyalty of the Silver Shield Legion.
So at this moment.
A trace of anger arose in the heart of the Duke of Silver.
He didn't care about the Earl's rebellion in The North, as their statuses were similar and it was within expectations.
But if there were also traitors within the Silver Castle.
That was an unforgivable sin!
