Sage Nevar always knew there was a huge gap between a duchy and a kingdom.
It wasn't like the differences between provinces and duchies. While rare, there had been provinces that grew to be duchies.
But there had been no history, either in Jai Empire or in the Alliance of a duchy becomeing a kingdom.
There seemed to be a huge barrier between the two. Even though a few duchies blessed with an extreme talent managed to raise a genius to rank 8, those rank 8s were quickly absorbed into the kingdom.
Rank 7s were still fine. But rank 8s were the red line that duchies shouldn't cross if they didn't want to face the wrath of their superior.
So how big was the difference between duchies that didn't even have rank 8s and kingdoms that must have rank 9s?
Even in his fight against a rank 7 prince from the kingdom, the differences came about.
Palarin race were blessed with a natal treasure. Rudolph's treasure was a full body armor.
