Regarding the girls' accusations, Aske argued that it was all a misunderstanding, a concession made because the Weisbach family could not provide a Magic Potion.
However, no one believed him. Due to the earlier effects of the Magic Tide, nearly all the circuit servo systems of the Power Armors had been destroyed. Thus, currently within the Duchy, the price of a complete set of Power Armor had soared to over 1200 marks. It was no longer feasible to earn that much money even through underground boxing, let alone Knight Fighting.
Moreover, it was a case of demand far exceeding supply, where one couldn't even find any to buy if they wanted, no wonder Aske had set his sights on the Weisbach family.
The next day, Eleanor brought back the Duke's response: affirmative.
Recently, the Weisbach family had smuggled in several power servo systems through a secret channel from abroad, which could be used to manufacture corresponding Power Armors.
