Edmund raised an eyebrow, "So, are you willing?"
Louis paused and said, "Willing to work for the Northern Territory, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to stand on the frontline.
I'm not native to the Northern Territory, and I'm a direct descendant of the Calvin Family. If the Duke truly wants to hand over the Governorship to me, I'm afraid not only the Northern Territory, but even the Imperial Capital would be unsettled."
Edmund was noncommittal, "The Governorship of the North... is not something I can give to just anyone."
Louis slightly raised his eyebrows, something stirred in his heart.
Edmund put down his wine glass and said slowly, "But now, the situation is different. The Emperor is missing."
Louis's expression shook, his brows furrowed, showing the appropriate amount of shock, "You said... what?"
"The news just came through the Gale Bird, not many people know yet. But... I trust you."
Louis's face turned solemn, remaining silent.
