Earl Yodo broke into a cold sweat as he thought about this, he shrugged off his family's confidant and ordered the coachman to prepare a horse for his visit to Jalen's residence.
Within half an hour, he had someone visit Jalen in advance, then entered the tower's parlor with a humble attitude and presented the letter from Ivita to Jalen.
Earl Yodo pretended to still be that friend who could spend an entire day hunting with Jalen in the countryside, saying familiarly, "This is from the one in the Royal Capital, he's actually asking me to summon you."
Jalen burst into hearty laughter. "He doesn't understand the relationship between you and me. Such a wild idea."
"Don't worry, as long as I return to the King City, this time no one will stop me from making you a duke."
Earl Yodo's brow twitched, for wealth and nobility are enticing, under normal circumstances, he would never become a duke in his lifetime.
Jalen picked up the letter to tear it, but Earl Yodo stopped him.
