Trapping a Marquess

Nicholas squinted his eyes as Aldrich's incomprehensible words reached him.

At one glance, it felt as if Aldrich was mocking him. But Aldrich said nothing more about it, nor did he explain what he meant by those words. Instead of relieving Nicholas of his doubtful expression, Aldrich called out to him.

"Marquess Nicholas, you were a Commander in UGF. I don't know why you think I share the same past as you, but as of now, we share the same Kingdom. Marquess Harold had betrayed His Majesty, changing sides to the Hallowed Phantoms. Over there…"

Aldrich pointed at the blinding blue flash coming from hundreds of miles away and continued.

"… Duchess Boudicca, or should I say, Lt. General Boudicca Rhiannon, is fighting a Phantom of Marchioness Rank. Don't you think you should be there assisting her, rather than focusing on a Viscount like me?"
