Epic Of The Demonic Sage

Chapter 392 Who Stands With Us



"Hmm, if I recall, Duke Rizal is the one that holds the Grand Cathedral of Durand does it not?" Lucius said.

"Yes, exactly. I reckon that you would remember it after the little incident that occurred," Viscount Felldan said with a gentle smile on his face.

Lucius couldn't help but want to smile as well. The incident was because of the 'outburst' he had done in Baron Harrels' land and it was hardly small in any sort of way knowing that he had used Wind Scar back then and 'punished' those who spoke ill of the Inanis family name.

The fact that Viscount Felldan spoke of it lightly simply showed how practically careful and tact the man was when it came to interacting with those within his circle.

Kiana was right about the nobleman knowing his way around political situations. Perhaps in another time, Viscount Felldan would claim it as a much bigger incident, but for now, he called it small in the face of Young Lord Asher.

"I did what had to be done, Viscount Felldan," Lucius said. "But moving on from that topic, what about Duke Wilda and Duke Vons?"

"They are the three dukes of the Land of Etara, one of the most powerful individuals in all the land and at a much higher position than any of us. Duke Wilda can be said to be the closest one to us as I've discussed already with him being just past the Kutan plains and Duke Vons is at the very western edge of the kingdom."

"Indeed. Anything of significance beyond their location and the presence of the Grand Cathedral, Viscount Felldan?"

"Well, out of them all, we must discuss about Duke Wilda. Despite the fact that he is located here in the Land of Etara, you can say that he is a great supporter of the Church of Alana."

"It's not entirely strange… although it does pose a question as to why he wouldn't be a much greater supporter of the Church of Etara," Lucius said to himself.

"The reasons for it this can truly be something that can only be answered accurately by questioning the man himself. But there is a reason for speculation that the Church of Alana may have healed him or one of his closest people in the past back when he tried to search for cures and answers through the wisdom of Etara's priests, but that is simply something discussed and has not been proved yet," Viscount Felldan explained.

"Ah, rumors and gossip." Lucius took note of it with the intent to remember it for later. Whether it was accurate or not would be something for him to learn.

'With this Duke Wilda being located nearby, only being beyond the Kutan plains, it wouldn't actually be a strange notion for me to meet him in the future and far better to know a potential friend or enemy beforehand.' Lucius thought.

"As for something with great credibility, however, is that the relationship between Duke Wilda and His Majesty of Grantz is incredibly strong. He is one of the King's greatest supporters. Not necessarily a force like your father, but someone who champions up the cause of His Majesty too," Viscount Felldan said.

"Is that so?" Lucius paused and took the information in.

"Yes. They truly are one of the greatest supporters of His Majesty and in a similar fashion, His Majesty also shows favor to the Duke of Wilda."please visit

'Greatest supporters of His Majesty? Does that mean in terms of military strength or through some other aspect like financial support, information or through some other means? While Viscount Felldan did not specify, it will also lend a good picture as to what I must overcome in the future.' Lucius thought. 'How the current strength of the Inanis Family compares with that of the Duke will paint a good comparison for me, but this is a long term thing. As for now…'

Viscount Felldan saw the look on Lucius's face and couldn't help but keep a smile on his face, almost as if he was able to estimate and guess what the young man was thinking and soon enough, Lucius asked him the next question that the Viscount expected it to be.

"How is Duka Wilda's relationship with the rest of the Land of Etara?" Lucius asked.

"You can be honest with me, Young Lord Asher," Viscount Felldan said. "I can go in great length with all the details of how Duke Wilda works with most of the nobility, but you're curious about his relationship with your father, am I right?"

Lucius raised a brow and shrugged, pretending to be a youth caught red-handed by a more experienced adult.

"I think that should be obvious, Viscount Felldan. Of course, I'm naturally more concerned with Duke Wilda's relationship with my father."

Viscount Felldan's expression shifted slightly, but it vanished all too quickly for Lucius to catch as he smiled once again in earnest.

"Yes, it's not exactly something surprising to be interested in. Duke Wilda's relationship with your father is most… cordial. That is to say, that Duke Wilda tolerates your father out of the fact that His Majesty of Grantz forgave the Count for his past actions as Rancor but…"

"You mean to say that Duke Wilda does not favor my father at all," Lucius finished.

Viscount Felldan's smile didn't slip from his face at all and he simply nodded.

"In the most forward of ways, yes, he does not favor Count Gabriel at all. He thought your father's deeds and actions while being Rancor were outrageous and unnecessary due to the amount of bloodshed that occurred during those times. He tried to argue against Count Gabriel during the time when such decisions were being made…"

"But you rallied support on my father's side too," Lucius said, guessing what the Viscount wanted to say.

"Ah, my contributions are little, but I stand with what I believe in." Viscount Felldan said before he reached out for the Humble Blaze bottle and refilled his cup. "I hope this has been most informative to you, Young Lord Asher."

"It has been," Lucius said. He had made a conclusion thanks to the information he'd received.
