Not only that.
There are rumors that, before his death, the Duke did not pass down the Campbell family's divine artifact "Light of Praise" to the heir of the duchy, but instead gave it to his youngest daughter.
This decision undoubtedly cast a shadow over the legitimacy of the new Duke, Edward Campbell.
Luo Yan could somewhat guess the old man's thoughts.
Though the Demon King was dead, a new one had emerged. Coupled with wave after wave of Chaos corruption appearing in the Maze, it was clear this double-edged divine artifact would have to be used again. It was hard for the aging Duke not to worry about the duchy's fate.
If, according to centuries of tradition, the artifact was handed to the eldest son, the Campbell Duchy was destined to have a short-lived Duke. Worse, it might even shake the foundation of the Campbell family.
Thus, the aging duke had a "stroke of genius" and passed the double-edged divine artifact to his youngest daughter.
