However, thinking about how things had come to such a point, and himself being seriously injured, Dalheid couldn't help but fall into hesitation.
Kaled, sitting beside Jules, was secretly anxious. He thought, what on earth is the Duke of Dalheid still hesitating about?!
If Dalheid, as the Duke of Leonais, did not permit, then even if Laine was willing to support, he could not step into the duchy's territory. This would be considered illegal entry and could cause a very serious diplomatic dispute.
"Alright, there's no other way now." Dalheid finally nodded, "Jules, I'll leave this matter to you. I permit Laine and his army to temporarily enter my territory."
The knights inside the castle relaxed upon hearing this. Laine's prestige resonated throughout the Kingdom, and his troops were extremely well-equipped, also receiving support from several southern dukes. If he led the army for reinforcement, the plight of Leonais Castle would be greatly alleviated.
