Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 50

“There is no one more suitable for this trial than Mr. Evan Knox. We’ve thoroughly investigated his background, and it’s clear he’s on a different path from his father. They haven’t been in contact for over a year, apparently. According to people around him, he’s been disowned.”

“Disowned?”

“Although Earl of Knox founded the law firm Cloud, he himself isn’t a lawyer—he’s more of a businessman who hired capable attorneys. It seems he harbored a longing for the legal profession.

Even if his command proved wrong, soldiers were bound to obey—it was the fundamental principle maintaining military order.

Since then, Windsor had developed the nightly habit of reviewing whether his decisions had been correct. Each of his words carried great weight.
