Lu Huayu tilted his head, a trace of confusion flashing through his eyes. He had never expected Linde to show any hesitation.
Old Age, whose gaze had swept past with indifference while he kept watching the battle outside, suddenly understood.
He gently told Linde, "Don't worry about whether Dieter will get angry. He definitely won't.
As a standard knight, he'll only be happy that you have a better future."
Linde slowly raised his head from his arms. "Will he really? My brother..."
"Dieter knows nothing about your situation. In his heart, you're still the Baron Linsell who won't split off from the family until far in the future." Xue Yunfeng finally understood Linde's dilemma from the interaction between the two. This child was the kind of person who gave a hundred and expected a thousand in return, so he couldn't tell whether Dieter would cut ties with him over this.
If it had only been for the Ster Family, Linde probably would have agreed from the start. As for matters like territorial sovereignty, the boy apparently hadn't considered them at all.
Xue Yunfeng had thought Linde intended to discuss sovereignty with the Undead!
But in the end, he simply didn't want to become the one who let go first?
Although he was a little miser, his unwillingness to abandon that brotherly bond made him seem rather adorable.
Especially compared with the always-kind, adorable, and generous Ellie, Linde suddenly seemed like a good child!
Xue Yunfeng thought awkwardly... Was this what they meant by even a bad person seeming cute when they showed a little goodness, while a good person was doomed the moment they took one wrong step?
He had studied Ellie. She counted as a standard kind person among Western nobles... Compared with some of the Good Alignment members
