A lot had changed. The Legendary Lord had gotten back everything that originally belonged to him, this included the one-third of the continent that the royal family had been in charge of.

“Nathaniel, do you need the land?”

When Kyrie asked this, he replied.

[I already said no, didn’t I?]

They both looked at each other and smiled furtively. 

“Right, that’s true.”

[I’m thankful you’re aware of that.]

“I have to thank you for forgiving me that much. Because my life is in your hands.’

Kyrie said bitterly. Nathaniel, who had been staring at her while she spoke, covered his mouth with his gloved hand and chuckled.

[Well said.]

“You still have no idea how cold I can be.”

[I don’t intend to find out.]

Nathaniel’s manner of speaking definitely seemed softer than before. Of course, this was only whenever he was with Kyrie. Because of this, people’s interest in ‘Kyrie Buchanan’ had risen once again, and whether he was aware of that or not, he muttered nonchalantly.

[I don’t really appreciate that, though.]

Will more problems arise in the future?

Nathaniel chuckled.

[Of course]

With the return of the Legendary Lord, Sel Arellano was restless.

Kyrie’s daily life suddenly became busy. The invitation letters to balls, which had declined considerably after the breakup with Eden, had now grown enough to fill two silver trays. 

People lost interest in Eden and Rubinia’s engagement. It was treated like an old greeting card which had been roughly stuffed into a book. 

The royal family also began to focus on Kyrie Buchanan, and everyone in the social circle wanted to get close to her.

To be more precise, they wanted to get close to the Legendary Lord behind Kyrie and the Patriotic Lord beside him.

After their appearance together at the celebration, which was already impressive in many ways, the Legendary Lord Nathaniel and the Patriotic Lord Lore Leschaux finally made a public appearance. 

It was in a conference hall filled with the Emperor, senior ministers, the giants in the political and business world, and future politicians.

The two didn’t even seem to mind the stares. The Legendary Lord smiled languidly, his cane resting on his lap. The Patriotic Lord sat with straight, proper posture, looking blankly ahead. 

The striking beauty and overwhelming aura of the two men filled the conference hall with the sounds of people swallowing saliva. 

The two then made a declaration in a leisurely and poised manner, as if they had already come to a mutual agreement beforehand.

[ hereby appoint Kyrie Buchanan as my official beneficiary.]

〔Five years from now, I will pass all the authority of my estate down to Kirie Buchanan.〕

Kyrie forgot how to breathe. Confusion swept over the entire conference hall.

“What did the Legendary Lord just say. . .”
