The award ceremony was awkwardly dismissed since the nobles didn't know what to make of the ending of that award ceremony.
In the end, most of them avoided me since they didn't want to associate with me after two dukes had stepped up.
Even if the king backed me, it was two dukes who had tried to take the wyverns from me.
They didn't think that I would be able to do anything against two established ducal families as a new duke.
So they were avoiding associating with me to avoid being pulled into this matter.
But I didn't care about any of them since there was something else that I needed to do.
After the award ceremony, I was brought back to the private residences of the castle.
This was where I had stayed last night and where I would be staying while I was in the capital, so it was only natural that I would come back.
Waiting for me was the king, the fourth prince, and Angela.
