Night had fallen, but a piece of news, like a bolt of lightning in the darkness, spread throughout the Royal Capital.
All the major powers were murmuring the same name—
Kael.D.Helois!
This name, along with the Lionheart Duke's recognition and permission for Kael to join the competition for the Duchy's succession, instantly swept across the Royal Capital.
As could be expected, this matter would not settle down anytime soon. It marked the first time that the Lionheart Duke had openly permitted the candidates to truly start competing for the future rights of Lancaster.
As the one who personally guided the Lionheart Duke to make this decision, the Baron Helois, was destined to become a focal point for all major powers, his newfound reputation even surpassing many Lionheart Family descendants who had been established for much longer.
