"If Viscount Keton weren't still needed as the first line of defense against the Balenzuo Duchy, given Count Quentin's petty nature, he probably would have made trouble for the Viscount long ago."
"And even now, within the Quentin Territory, Viscount Keton is only given the dirty, thankless jobs. Whenever there are benefits to be had, Viscount Keton's Territory is always passed over."
Fang Zhen nodded slightly.
He was forming a preliminary impression of Viscount Keton, and from the sounds of it, the man was quite remarkable.
'He's very capable, and his character sounds principled and upright.'
Fang Zhen didn't think Viscount Keton was ignorant of the unspoken rules of aristocratic circles. Keton had to know that Count Quentin was mediocre and loved to be flattered.
'It's just that Keton is a man of integrity, too proud to stoop to such things.'
'He's a bit like some of the unyielding figures and scholars of true moral integrity from the history of Xia Country.'
