15 Chapter 15

"In my humble opinion, the Castle of Chester is pretty good land comparable to that of Duke Kling's, although it's the marquis's land. His reputation in the social circles is in some ways even more well-known than Kling's. In that respect, his determination to go through the trouble of being the duke's son-in-law is pretty suspicious."

"If he had coveted the position of the duke, he would have certainly incited the nobles or negotiated with me directly."

"I agree. Look at this map. If you trace the pattern of territories that Marquis Chester occupied, Lennox was supposed to be a region that he was not interested in terms of location or region. He chose mainly mining towns with mines or trading cities as the major centers of transport. Why does he covet Lenox?"

Colin jumped up and stretched his hand as much as he could in order to draw a large triangle on the map.
