Heirloom

A smile crept onto my face when I heard this.

This duke really didn't seem to care about being subtle at all as he said all of this to my face.

Even if it was true, it wasn't something that should be said out loud since it might offend the other side.

But I wasn't offended by this since I liked someone who was this frank with me.

However, I also couldn't help wanting to tease the duke a bit.

So I said with a smile, "Why do you think that?"

It was the duke's turn to smile as he looked at me with that smile and said, "With the wyverns that you've brought alone, we're already helpless. With those wyverns, do you really think that we could do anything to stop you?

He shook his head as the smile on his face became helpless before saying, "To be honest, I completely thought that you were here to invade us when you showed up with those wyverns. So if you really want to do anything in our country, it isn't as if you can stop us."
