After Cousin Mel's wedding ceremony, Marquis Merlin made another decision—he decided to pass the title of Count Flo Pot, bypassing his son Mejie Yujiuhua, directly to Mel's hands.
Doing so,
naturally, was to prevent his daughter-in-law, Lady Kuna Shadowflame, from taking advantage of her husband's inheritance of the title to stir up some brainless troubles.
Handing the title directly to his grandson, who now had a wife as well, meant he was less likely to listen to his mother's influence, and Lady Kuna would thus lose any room to maneuver.
Uncle Mejie didn't have much objection.
His talent was poor, and to this day, he was just an ordinary Phantom Beast Knight. He had placed his hopes on his son from early on. Now that Mel had successfully become a dragon rider, it was even less likely that he would compete with his own son, and he calmly accepted the reality.
After all, he retained the title of Viscount.
