"I'm afraid that won't work."
Rophis shook his head.
The nobles of the Dragon Kingdom were not always harmonious, on the contrary, frequent skirmishes were the norm.
But there were some unwritten rules.
For instance, a big noble can't attack a small noble unless the latter is the first to strike.
Moreover, attacking any noble is tantamount to provoking the lord to whom he pledges allegiance.
"Why can't we? The other side is a free knight domain, without a lord... and even if he is a noble, he previously killed several of our knights from the North Territory, we can fully use this as a reason to attack."
Gran, not an idiot, analyzed calmly.
"But... that Sir Pottery, it is said, has a good relationship with your fiancée - Princess Messiah. The young princess has even visited his domain, and there are rumors that the queen intends to hire Sir Pottery as the court tutor for the princess..."
Knight Rophis said indifferently.
"Ridiculous!"
