"Why are you granting that peerage to him, my lord?" Count Klein protested.
Duke Christian looked at him as if he were a fool. "It looks like your information is not up to date. There are already spies around Marquis Lindwurm, who is responsible for creating the device in the dynasty.
"Our spies have seen the devices, and our people have tried to replicate them. Despite the simple design, there is one thing we have found. No matter what you do, you are unable to replicate the device.
"In other words, even if we want to seize it from him, it will be impossible to recreate the device. We can make a small profit by seizing his devices, but our names will go bad due to our method. It's simply not worth it.
"However, the fact that he can get this device means… he either has the core blueprint or a connection to the mysterious person that invented this device."
"Impossible." Count Klein was taken aback.
