Mary, the Southern Dominator, with her long chestnut hair and an innate noble air, looked at the pleading gaze from Yaxin Matic and felt, for the first time, that things were getting complicated.
Mary had never met anyone as shameless and opportunistic as Lian.
Her Chief Knight had killed an assassin to protect his master. Even though the assassin was the Governor of Yusofa, he was merely a minor figure compared to her own noble status.
Yet Lian, this seemingly minor figure—nothing more than an illegitimate child—had so confidently invoked the names of the entire Moria Clan, the Empire Prime Minister, and the Creed Clan. He even dramatically played up his deep "father-son" bond with Khrish, leaving no room for anyone to find fault.
This clearly wasn't aimed at Yaxin Matic.
It was a counter to her own move against Catherine.
