When he scoffed, the person closest to him, who was Nathaniel at that time, obviously heard it. The others didn't but it certainly caught the captain of the knight's attention. He glanced at the young duke and watched him discreetly.
He saw that the man's face was pulled taut, a cold mask over a handsome facade. His mouth was slightly stretched into a sneer like he found something that displeased him. Just like always, Nathan could not read the duke's mood at all nor what he was thinking. He vaguely felt that Lukas was unhappy but the reason was unknown to him.
Such a young age and only a few years older than he and already a duke with an outstanding aura, Nathaniel is both astonished and curious. He is also young and holds such a high position in the royal court, everyone admired him especially the men under him. It is said that he is a once-in-a-lifetime genius so he is naturally well-received. Also, his status as a prodigy of the Herman family is a bonus.
