Moreover, the Silver Code does not recognize Edward and his fellow dead; they cannot normally assume the position of The King's Right Hand.
But the Golden Law governs heaven, earth, Humans, deities (Nature Spirits), the dead (ancestral spirits, Undead), and the living—all under its jurisdiction.
Giving his cousin Edward a War Chariot was but a small effort.
The duel Byron mentioned was just bluster; unless Byron followed him in death, there was no way he could do anything to this already-dead fellow.
Yet, upon seeing this glib-tongued man, Byron still said indignantly, "What now? Didn't I secretly give you one hundred kilograms of top-grade Spices as pocket money yesterday? The Lord has no surplus supplies either."
This was not an excuse. Bribing the Cardinal Archbishop had only cost twenty kilograms of Spices, while he had given Edward one hundred kilograms at once as pocket money. This truly showed their brotherly bond.
