"Duke Dex, in the future work, I will never waver, closely unite around the core that is you in the Empire's Special Operations Department, achieve strict obedience, and remain steadfast in my resolve."
Lanci pledged.
"Stay humble and steady."
Dex listened with interest, giving a high evaluation to this young and talented Magic Engineer,
"Talking about work with you is indeed relieving. I must say, you and my student Nicola are quite similar in this aspect; I believe you two could also become good friends."
Duke Dex praised with satisfaction.
The two discussed the Empire's development, Landry's research prospects, and personal ambitions.
Red Falcon Nicola was listening nearby, his expression turning somewhat odd.
He wasn't sure whether Director Dex was complimenting or criticizing.
