Back in the castle, the night's celebrations and merry dancing were stopped by the appearance of one young man named Christian HammerStone.
He stole everyone's attention without care. Just the fact that he arrived so late in the night meant that he didn't treat the Duke with a lot of respect. Some might call it justified since he was a descendant of the famous Hephaestus corporation, but many would simply call it arrogance.
"Duke Stelmane, there is no better option than me," he said, approaching the metal automobile.
"Whatever the Reborn company has offered you, I am sure that my company can give you as well."
Christian noticed the unique 'R' symbol embedded onto the automobile's side door. Since the Duke was riding it with his wife, he assumed that this was a gift from Michael to tip the scales of favor towards his way.
