The Sapphire Grand Duke was not in Bull Horn City.
In fact, the Grand Duke had never left Blue Dragon Island. The one who had come to oversee the campaign to suppress Iron Hoof Island was his eldest son, Anthony Sapphire.
This thirty-two-year-old heir to the Grand Duchy had already reached the level of a Sword Saint Sky Knight and was gradually taking over the Blue Blood Knights from the Grand Duke.
Barring any surprises, he would become the sixth Grand Duke—but now, that was hard to say. The unexpected had already happened.
He was stationed in Bull Hoof City, the largest coastal city southwest of Iron Hoof Island.
"Bull Hoof City's harbor is the final port of call for every Development Order. Not only must we prevent Marquis Bull from fleeing through Bull Hoof City, we must also guard against possible interference from the Eagle Kingdom. That is why the First Prince must personally hold the fort." After making the rounds at Bull Horn Castle, Levis returned to his seat.
Iron Hoof Island was known as the shield of the Sapphire Grand Duchy. It was the closest large island to the mainland; from Iron Hoof Island to the Eagle Kingdom's coastline was only a six-day voyage.
Iron Hoof Island was the nearest harbor facing the mainland. The Development Order fleets replenished their supplies here before racing toward the mainland.
It was precisely for this reason that the island had been granted to a branch of the Sapphire Family and had always been controlled by the Bull Family. Unfortunately, the ones now rebelling against the Sapphire Family were the Bull Family, once their most trusted allies. And their leader was the current Grand Duke's closest companion and comrade-in-arms—Andy Sapphire.
