In less than half a day, the Gale Bird swept through the cold sky and landed steadily on Louis's shoulder with a reply.
He took down the letter, his eyebrows slightly raised, clearly not expecting such a quick response.
The reply was not long, and it didn't mention McKinney's death at all, as if the life and death of a small lord of this level were insignificant and not worth Duke Edmund's additional words.
The focus of the letter was in the last paragraph.
Without a direct bloodline heir, the territory is temporarily administered by Louis, with further arrangements to be notified separately.
After reading the letter, Louis smiled lightly, it was exactly as he guessed.
In Edmund's eyes, McKinney was just an insignificant pawn, and his death was of little consequence, not even worth investigating further.
Instead, he naturally gained an extra piece of land.
The so-called further arrangements likely won't ever materialize, as long as he governs it, it's tacitly his territory.
