"Because I have experience dealing with the Nobility, the Duke thinks that I can handle discussions, having never rejected me.
Alas! During this time, I've faced immense pressure alone and have become somewhat intransigent—I still need to talk things over with friends.
Previously, I was worried the Duke would abandon me, but now it's his turn to worry that I might give up—it's time to choose to go on the offensive.
He doesn't care about the life or death of others at all; he only cares about whether his personal interests can be maximized, even to the point of plundering the wealth of other Nobility.
His ambition is indeed grand; I once thought he was quite benevolent. As a leader of the Nobility group, he should consider the members.
It's just as Mr. Z said, there are only eternal interests, no eternal friends. Those with conflicting interests become enemies." Yevgeny reflected with deep emotion.
