The guards maintained a respectful demeanor.
Sofia frowned slightly:
"I am an Imperial Noble. Even a higher lord cannot restrict my movements at will, let alone the fact that the Rosen family is not the lawful lord of the Wells… Please step aside."
After speaking, she made a move to continue forward.

"Miss Sofia, this is also for your safety, after all... From a legal standpoint, the Wells family has already followed the border earl in rebellion."
"Nonsense! Since I, the first heir, am standing here, it proves Wells' loyalty. I want to see the Duke, he knows this matter best!"
Sofia said somewhat angrily, simultaneously revealing the power of a Mage.
However, the two guards at the entrance did not waver in the slightest.
