Martin Lux felt his limbs grow weak when he heard the reports about what happened after the Duke closed the portals. The streets of the entire continent now knew that it was the Duke who saved them.
He was called their savior, their hero.
How could he accept this?
He felt his body tremble from anger and disappointment. In less than a day, everyone already knew about the Duke's deeds! What could this mean?
It was rather simple! Someone else intentionally spread these rumors and paid people to disseminate them far and wide. Someone is scheming behind their back and is taking advantage of this incident for their own gain!
"Someone else is trying to tarnish our name," Martin hissed. The one who spread those rumors didn't merely seek respect for the Duke. they must have aimed to ruin the reputations of the Seven Families and make them appear weak!
Someone is challenging the Seven Families!
He thought about what happened earlier.
