When Liszt rode the newly conquered Aluminum Dragon and descended upon Iron Shell Fort, Duke Piero's gaze was fixed on the Aluminum Dragon with a mix of emotions before he finally let out a long sigh.
It was only two days, yet the Aluminum Dragon had become something in Liszt's pocket, a feat of dragon-taming so terrifying it overwhelmed him with emotion. The last hope of the Grey Iron Duchy had vanished, and for the Grey Iron Family to carry on its glory, he was left with no choice but to choose this uncertain path as a follower.
"Your Majesty, of the twelve marquises of the Grey Iron Duchy, I have been in contact with five. Two have decided to follow my heir, Pifort, and stay in the Grey Iron Duchy. Three marquises, all direct followers of mine, have decided to relocate their families and accompany me to the Flame Kingdom."
Duke Piero added, "However, they wish to meet you and hear your promise."
