Raylo was about to take a water flask from his bag when he heard the words. His movements froze, and he nearly lost his balance.
He turned his head to look at Sun's incredibly earnest golden eyes. There wasn't the slightest trace of ambition or desire in them, only pure, matter-of-fact logic.
Is the problem difficult to solve?
Then become the person who can solve it.
Raylo was stunned for a long moment, then burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter.
"HAHAHAHA! Good! Well said!"
His hearty laughter carried far across the Cloud Sea.
The suggestion sounded absurd and naive, yet it struck him like a bolt of Lightning, hitting a place deep inside him that had never been touched before.
'Become a Duke?'
He had never considered this somewhat distant prospect before.
But now, having it proposed so matter-of-factly by a Giant Dragon, he felt a strange sense of heroic ambition stir within him.
'Perhaps... it isn't such an impossible dream after all.'
