Half a month later, Roman learned of the upheaval at Dragon Castle.
Duke Gael Riptide had become the new Grand Duke.
The first thing he did was to write a letter to inform all of Riptide's vassals and progeny.
Demanding that they send three-quarters of their forces to aid the Duke Domain and to avenge the late Duke Alster.
The target of this vengeance was every Witch upon the earth.
He swore to make those dirty old rats, who poisoned others, pay the price!
For the senior vassals, sending birds with the message sufficed.
These birds underwent special training, allowing them to travel fixed routes and land on the shoulders of designated recipients.
However, this method could not reach everyone, and messengers had to be sent to remote vassal lands where the birds could not venture.
At this time, other vassals and Riptide's offspring had long since led their troops to war.
Yet Roman was still in the manor's great hall, listening to Seth read the contents of the letter.
