Aiden Duke couldn't help but laugh, instantly filling the study with a cheerful atmosphere.
"That Raylo boy getting an untamable Giant Dragon to accept a title... it's not as simple as just being lucky."
His laughter subsided.
"Did he and that Golden Dragon sign a Knight Contract?"
This was the heart of the matter.
A Giant Dragon willing to obey commands is one thing. A Giant Dragon bound to a Knight through a contract, sharing both life and Power, is something else entirely.
"My Duke, our intelligence shows no contractual bond between them. It seems the Golden Dragon... accepted the title 'Sun Knight' as a partner."
"Furthermore, Count Raylo has also established a new Sun Knight Order in his territory, appointing this Golden Dragon as its commander."
"A partner..."
Aiden Duke repeated the word softly, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.
