"Earl Hudson, this matter is significant, and I can't make a decision just yet. How about we convene a meeting of the Logistics Department and let everyone discuss and decide together?"
As a loyal servant, Grand Duke Aefero should have reported to the king. However, it's clear that he is reluctant to throw such a hot potato to King Caesar III and put him in a difficult position.
It is inevitable that the Nobles of the North will be offended by this matter. It is better for Hudson, as the Commander in Chief, to take the blame.
With this in mind, he suddenly realized that Hudson acquiring the Red Dragon mount wasn't so bad after all.
If it wasn't for this Giant Dragon, the young commander he was dealing with would likely continue to feign ignorance. It would have been impossible for him to directly confront the Nobles of the North.
However, he also has to admit that the knife Hudson is now handing over is precisely handed over at the right time, place, and people's favor.
