They were surprised when they saw Rody

Since they were located in the Southern Region of the Empire, before they received the order, they had inquired about the Duke They knew that the Duke had just inherited the title not long ago and was still very young However, they still could not help but feel shocked when they met him in person They never expected the Duke to be really so young He did not seem to have even reached twenty years old

Xier's Governor-General's eyes lit up He saw Rody yawn and immediately said loudly, ”His Excellency the Duke have traveled far and must be tired Now is lunch time! This humble subordinate has already prepared the food! Your Excellency the Duke, please enjoy it!”

He then clapped his hands and two side doors to theand charht and colorful clothes sloalked into the hall Each woman carried a tray On every tray were silver plates, so while some were small Each woman served a table When the plates were placed on the table, Rody was stunned
