There was a hint of "poverty" in Alvis' words.
Looking across the entire country, there are only a few dragon knights available, and one of them is a traitor.
There was finally a little hope, the Amethyst Dragon was going to contract a knight, but in the end it still made things difficult for Krobel.
"Um... I'll have my dragon knight squad come over right away and have them help you scout the sky so you can send someone to deal with the Golden Duchy."
Krober agreed casually, but his tone revealed the air of a "nouveau riche".
When a poor person meets a nouveau riche, it will definitely trigger someone's "hatred of the rich."
"No! The main reason is that the nobles of the Golden Duchy are too independent-minded and don't recognize the rule of the Emerald Kingdom from the bottom of their hearts."
"As for you, you're just a name they used to fight me. Your grandfather was just used by them."
Although Alvis was unhappy, he still maintained his sanity.
"I understand. You want me to persuade Veronica to give up the ownership of the Golden Duchy and transfer it to you, right?"
After hearing this, Krober finally understood what Alvis wanted to express.
I just want Veronica to give up the ruling power of the Golden Duchy.
He sighed, shook his head and said:
"That's impossible. You know I can't persuade Veronica."
When Veronica was involved, Kroeber was unsure.
He knew very well how determined Veronica was; once she made up her mind, it would be difficult to change it.
Moreover, Veronica has deep feelings for the Golden Duchy. It can be said that Veronica has poured almost all of her efforts into the Golden Duchy. How could she easily give it up to others?
Krober looked at Alvis helplessly, thinking that this proposal was simply a fantasy.
"I know it's impossible, so I mean to neutralize it a little."
Alvis also knew his sister's character, and he didn't dare to do such a thing as "stealing food from the tiger's mouth".
"So what do you mean?"
"I want Veronica to authorize me to govern the Golden Duchy. From now on, the Golden Duchy will be managed by me, but it will still be Veronica's country in name."
"Go ask it yourself, don't ask me. I can't be Veronica's boss, and I don't want the Amethyst Dragon either. You should talk to Veronica about this."
Krober didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Golden Duchy at all. He still had a lot of troubles to deal with in his own country.
But what Alvis said was right. The nobles of the Golden Duchy have indeed been a bit too presumptuous recently.
This situation has been going on for a long time, ever since Veronica lived on Ocean Current Island and they lost their ruler. Maybe it's time for Krobe to teach them a lesson.
"Don't worry, I'll go over and take a look myself later, and take care of some of those troublesome nobles."
Although Krober could not be the master of the Golden Duchy, at least he had the power to deal with these nobles.
Veronica is kind-hearted and unwilling to take extreme measures, which makes her indulge these guys again and again.
Now it's Krober's turn to take action. He is determined to teach these people a lesson.
"If you're willing to help, that would be great. After all, I don't want to use any drastic measures for Veronica's sake."
"You are more suitable to handle this matter than me, so I'll leave it to you this time."
When Alvis heard that Krober was willing to help, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, as if the unhappy man just now did not exist at all.
"Then I'll leave now."
Krober didn't want to stay here any longer, so he tidied his clothes and left the Emerald Valley with Alvis's farewell, embarking on a journey to the Golden Duchy.
"Be careful. I have a feeling something is amiss in the Golden Duchy, but I'm really tied up. I can only ask you to go and take a look."
Before leaving, Alvis gave some special instructions.
Kroeber waved his hand, indicating that he understood.
It was because Krober headed south that he missed the best opportunity to rescue the Kingdom of Topa.
But that’s all in the past.

Golden Grand Duchy, St. Gold Castle.
Saint-Golden Castle, which was originally the political center of the Golden Duchy, is now like a peasant's vegetable market, chaotic and noisy.
"What should we do with the rebels? Just leave them alone? Send for help immediately!"
"That's right. The Golden Duchy has always been the territory of Grand Duke Veronica. We are all vassals of Grand Duke Veronica, so naturally we must fulfill our responsibilities."
"We both swore an oath to shed our last drop of blood for our country and the Grand Duke, so we must fight! We can't be cowards!"
Marquis Shadow Snake and Marquis Green Feather Grass slammed the table in indignation and loudly proclaimed their own ideas.
Marquis Frostwolf, the Prime Minister of the Golden Duchy, sat in the main seat with a helpless look on his face.
"I have already written to the Grand Duke to inform him of the situation. I believe there will be news soon. Please wait a little longer."
He was only the Prime Minister and had power, but events of this magnitude were beyond his administrative authority, so he could only ask for instructions from Grand Duchy Veronica, the ruler of the Golden Duchy.
The Golden Duchy is very far away from the Ocean Current Island. Even a raven would need half a month to run back and forth.
This greatly slowed down the speed of government affairs processing in the Golden Duchy.
Marquis Frostwolf handled most minor matters with his own power, but such major matters were very difficult to handle.
The Frostwolf Marquis wiped his sweat anxiously, muttering to himself:
"My Grand Duke, when will you return? Byron has failed you and plunged the Golden Duchy into chaos. It's all my fault!"
Although he possesses high prestige and rich experience in the Golden Duchy second only to Veronica, his personal strength is only at the level of a fantasy beast knight.
He could still suppress one marquis, but when facing more than one, he started to find it difficult.
Not to mention, it is said that there is a powerful dragon knight behind this incident.
The reason why the situation can still be maintained at present is entirely due to the existence of that guy Daniel.
After all, he is the grandfather of His Majesty Krober. For the sake of Lord Krober's face, no one dares to be rude in front of Daniel.
However, not long ago, Marquis Daniel announced that he would go into seclusion to be promoted to the Phantom Beast Knight, which undoubtedly transferred all the pressure to the shoulders of Marquis Frostwolf.
"Sending a letter? Byron, you know how long it takes to send a letter. By that time, the flowers will be cold!"
"That's right, how could you not have any strategic thinking at all? Defending will only lead to failure. We must take the initiative!"
