An honest miscalculation.
Registering the new biomecha before handing it over to Duke Leander had actually been the suggestion of his wife, Duchess Amelia.
And while it was certainly a questionable move, it actually came from a sincere understanding of the man's personality.
She knew her husband.
The moment he laid hands on that mecha, there would be no prying it from his grasp.
Therefore, how could he possibly tolerate seeing and touching it, then being told he would be unable to use it officially until after registration?
Wouldn't the Duke pass out in anger?
Wouldn't he throw a fit like a toddler teased too long?
He absolutely would.
So, everyone who heard Amelia's suggestion agreed it was wiser to take care of the paperwork first. That way, when the Duke finally received his most-awaited gift, he could use it immediately without delay.
Or so they thought.
