"There's no helping it. When someone as important as you comes to my territory, Mr. Dunn, a humble woman like me has to learn all she can before she can rest easy."
Lilith raised her wineglass toward Dunn and spoke with a soft, teasing pout.
Dunn chuckled, raised his glass to clink it against hers, then tipped his head back and drained his wine without replying.
After drinking her wine, Lilith pondered for a moment before saying softly, "Speaking of which, with your current strength and standing, Mr. Dunn, the Lyon Empire should restore your title, shouldn't it? If I remember correctly, you also have quite a valuable fief in the New World."
Only when he heard Lilith's words did Dunn remember that he still held a title from the Kingdom of Lyon, though many of the old titles were no longer recognized now that the kingdom had become the Lyon Empire.
But now that Dunn had become a Pirate King, with a Legendary Wizard behind him, the Lyon Empire would certainly restore his title.
That Legendary Battleship alone was worth a marquessate, never mind anything else!
To the Lyon Empire, which was currently at war with the Wizard Council, a Legendary Battleship was a fighting force that could not be underestimated.
As for dukes, only those at the Legendary level could now be granted that title in the Lyon Empire.
Still, this situation was not necessarily a good thing. After all, the Pirate Kings had always been a neutral group of powers. Even the Legendary figures behind them had gone out to sea and carved out their own domains to avoid getting involved in the war between the New and Old Worlds.
Over the years, these Legendary figures had rejected countless attempts by both sides to win them over.
