Although it was the first time the diplomatic officials from Rose Territory had met Lian Moria, they had long since heard how he had used Khrish to nearly have the leader of the Rose Knight Order—Lady Mary's Chief Knight, Lord Yaxin Matic—stripped of his nobility.
None of them dared to underestimate Lian Moria. After all, infringing upon Lian's personal interests would be tantamount to indirectly offending Duke Moria, wouldn't it?
It was said that although Duke Moria hadn't personally attended Lian Moria's engagement to Catherine, he had sent his beloved second son, George Moria, to the ceremony. He had even given his own sword to Lian Moria—a sign of immense favor. Furthermore, the Simmons family, one of the Creed Clans, had also extended an olive branch, verifying what Lian Moria had previously claimed: he was backed by the Moria Clan and the Creed Clan.
