Since the announcement about Dorian becoming a new duke in the Lumberg kingdom, news had been spreading all around the capital, all with different sides to the story.
Those who were in the higher echelons of power all believed the King was being manipulated—how could an ordinary baron suddenly gain such a title?

Some wanted Dorian gone, and others wanted to see the face behind the entire topic, the man who managed to sway the heart of the King.
