After a few more words, the meeting ended. The Duchess left with Angel and Joan, and Colin was pushed back to his place by the guards. The Duke took Lin Xiaoman to the study on the pretext of discussing something about muskets.
Arriving in the study, the Duke was silent, with an awkward expression as if he had encountered a difficult situation. Lin Xiaoman's first thought was the musket, "Dad, is there something wrong with the manufacturing of the musket?"
"No, the manufacture of the musket went smoothly."
"What is that?"
"It's about Joan." The Duke sighed, looking very hesitant. "I've thought about it. Although having Joan feign illness can delay for a while, it's not a solution. We must make public Miller's murder and usurpation of the throne. Joan is just an ordinary person now. If she were a magician, wouldn't it be more credible if she told the truth as a divine messenger?

"So, Dad, you actually hoped that Grandpa Colin would give the magic power to Qiong?" Lin Xiaoman heard it.
"Of course not. I would prefer you to be a magician, but... I'm worried about Ange. Your brother would rather be a dragon knight, and magic is too important for him..."

"Dad, it is indeed more convincing that Qiong can become a magician, but she does not need her brother and Uncle Modo. Uncle Modo prefers gold coins to magic power. As long as there is enough money, I don't think he will care about his not-so-good magic talent." Lin Xiaoman suggested.
"Modo..." The Duke thought for a moment, then nodded. "If he's promised territory, money, and a higher title, he'll probably agree."
