"Father!"
Morris and Thor both saluted Count Engel.
"You're back!"
"Indeed, I've heard!"
"No wonder you are the fledgling eagle of Dressrosa; it seems you've already spread your wings and flown high!"
Count Engel nodded and then spoke with a voice full of emotion.
"I must thank Father for your support!"
"Without Father's support, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand firm now."
Thor spoke softly, with a hint of gratitude.
Though Count Engel only supported him twice, those two instances were crucial. The first time, with over thirty Official Knights and a hundred Apprentice Knights, gave him a foundation to stand firm in the Northern Province.
