"Is this the kind of legacy you're giving?"
Ian wasn't foolish; he could tell that the Duke of Sorin's meaning was clear—Ian himself was 'Inega II's legacy.'
He had given Adalbert to him.
Setting aside whether Adalbert was willing to follow him, and whether a living person—well, a Deceased Monarch could be considered living, right? In any case, setting aside whether he had the right to give Adalbert to him.
The Duke's statement was indeed correct.
Ian looked at the Deceased Monarch Researcher beside him with a somewhat odd expression—the Deceased Monarch was here, as were the lost souls, and the core technology developers. Although Adalbert might not be aware, the knowledge in his brain, the techniques that the Duke of Sorin had unknowingly made him learn, were obviously almost the entire set of Inaga's legacy.
Not only that, but Adalbert was still alive and could continue developing technology. The young man was in his early twenties, with a promising future!
[This?!]
