"Why?" Kevin was curious.
"Because our Household and his are in good terms. We are business partners."
"Our Household is mainly involved with transportations. We provide transportation services to merchants and other nobles so they can trade to other towns and cities. One of our long term partner is the Household of Woodbean." His father patiently explained.
"But in recent years, The Household of Woodbean and the Southern Duke were not in good terms. If we want to get to the good side of the Southern Duke, it's better not to get too involved with the Household of Woodbean."
'But didn't you just said to be on friendly terms with him?'
'This guy is very contradictive with his words.'
Kevin became even more confuse.
Confusion is very obvious in Kevin's expression but his father deliberately ignored him and continued to introduce the other young nobles.
