Reinhard then leaned back, smiling at the blushing Yor. But there was still something he was curious about.
Yor rarely talked about her family.
Which was why Reinhard knew the next question might hurt. "Where does your family actually live? You've never mentioned where you're from."
Yor blinked at the sudden topic shift before a small giggle escaped her lips. "I live in Luminous City. My family is the current Duke ruling over it."
The room went silent.
Completely silent.
Reinhard had expected many answers from Yor.
Being the daughter of one of the most powerful noble families in the empire was not one of them.
Reinhard blinked in surprise."... Dukes are second in power only to Emperor Verlion himself. That means..."
His voice trailed off as understanding crashed over him like a wave. Not just any noble family. Not just wealthy or influential. The Noctyne family was one of the most powerful in the entire kingdom.
