The two of them changed their expressions like chameleons, testing each other.
"Is Mr. Varean's brother also on the newly discovered island?" Tone Sudin suddenly asked this question.
"Of course, the scattered Surgeon families will rebuild the glory of Blackwater there," Varyan said firmly.
"That's such a pity. I thought you were the patriarch of the Code family now. You should know that I am a concubine's son, or to put it bluntly, an illegitimate child.

"I don't understand what you mean." Varian seemed not to understand and shook his head to drink his tea.
"What I mean is that the nobles here are very tolerant of some things. For example, killing brothers to seize the throne will not cause a siege like in the courtyard." Tone Sudin smiled slightly and looked at Kanepali, the golden warrior.
"The knight who came with you here must be your confidant, right? After the two Blackwater Battles, there aren't many such warriors left in the Cod family. If he supports you..."
