The King’s last sentence was like roaring thunder to Rody. Before his words sank in, the King had already fixed his gaze at Rody.
"Hahaha…" Rody suddenly laughed. He did not show a shocked expression. With a calm demeanor, he slowly spoke, "Your Majesty must have mistaken my identity. I am a Commander of the Empire’s Imperial Guards, an Earl of the Empire, Rody. I am not a Duke."
The King sighed and softly said, "Duke, why are you still hiding the truth? I have already seen through your identity."
Rody smiled, "Your Majesty must have mistaken. His Excellency the Duke of the Tulip Family is well known in the Imperial Capital of the Radiant Empire. Many people have seen his appearance. How could you mistake me as the Duke?"
