Chapter 1128
“M-My lord! I wish to remain as your humble servant—”
“Call me Elder Brother.”

“Hm? Are you rejecting my request, Siegfried von Proa?”
“M-My lord!”
“I told you I wish to take you as my sworn brother, Siegfried von Proa. I have no brothers or sisters left except for Irene—she is the only family I have left.”
