Everyone in the Outer City District was talking about how the Bold Duke's days were numbered and that he could pass away at any moment.

As the Bold Duke's condition worsened, the situation and atmosphere in Bold City notably began to twist and turn dangerously.

The nobles were all deeply concerned about the succession issue in the Bold Duchy.

Considering the Duke's bastard son, Laino, had willingly given up his inheritance rights to establish his own Mercenary Corps in Eastern Yonette, and the original heir, Tulip Count, also "passed away due to an illness," the primary successor now became the Duke's only daughter, Eleanor.

News had already spread from the Royal Capital that the Duke's daughter, Eleanor, and her husband, Philip, the Third Prince of the New Moon Kingdom, had reportedly started their journey southward, heading towards Bold.

Some of the opportunistic Bold nobles had even sent people north to welcome and greet the arrival of their new sovereign.
