From Baron to Lord

“You have already become a star figure among the younger generation of the Duchy. The people in the Royal Capital are overjoyed to hear that you are going to the Royal Capital to participate in the celebration and enfeoffment ceremony. Everyone is looking forward to your arrival.”

“After all, you are a war hero, the invincible Lord of the Silver Wolves.”

The captain of this small team of palace knights was a middle-aged man. As the Duke's guards, they were in constant contact with the upper echelons of the entire Duchy.

Originally, they should have been stern and unsmiling long ago. Even Albert probably wouldn't see a smile on their faces.

However, these palace knights showed smiles to Allen, and their expressions were extremely respectful and humble.

“Captain Hans, your words make me feel uneasy.”

Allen said with a smile, “I am not worthy of such great affection from the people of the Royal Capital. I am only contributing my strength to the country. This is the code of conduct for a knight: humility, loyalty, dedication.”

Allen spoke these beautiful words, but sneered in his heart. As the Duke's guard, Hans' every word and action represented Duke Ryan.

If he showed even a hint of arrogance or rudeness, he might be directly blacklisted deep within the Duke's heart.

It's impossible not to say some nice things.

“Oh, Lord Allen, you truly are an excellent knight.” Hans was also very satisfied with this answer.

“Lord Allen, the message has been delivered, and it's about time for us to leave. You'd better prepare yourself. We'll meet in the Royal Capital in a week.” Hans didn't stay too long and quickly left with his men.

Allen watched their departing figures, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes. You want to test me with your level of skill?

Duke Ryan seems to be a person who likes to test others. Is this how all rulers of a country are?

Allen stroked his chin, soon dismissing these thoughts from his mind.

Anyway, he never intended to develop in the Ryan Duchy for too long.

As long as his strength was sufficient, Allen would definitely not hesitate to rise up and establish his own country.

Right now, his strength was not strong enough. At least he hadn't reached the Saint-tier Knight level yet, and Saffi hadn't come of age either.

It seemed he still needed to develop discreetly for a while.

However, Allen was extremely excited about the enfeoffment ceremony, after all, this ceremony was related to his mission rewards.

“Lord! Are you going to the Royal Capital to be enfeoffed?”

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the steward, Edward.

“Yes, Grandpa Edward, I am about to leave the Thorns and Flowers family. I will become a noble of the Duchy with power, no longer a country baronet.”

Allen revealed a bright smile.

Edward was immediately filled with emotion.

“If Madam knew of your current situation, she would definitely be proud of you.”

Edward's old face was filled with pride and self-satisfaction.

“Of course, Grandpa Edward.”

Allen revealed a slight hint of emotion, then he had people prepare to pack up, prepare some water and food, and also had people notify Marco.

He also asked him to notify the wolf cavalry to gather. This time to the Royal Capital, whether Allen was willing or not, the presentation had to be maintained.

As the invincible Lord of the Silver Wolves on the battlefield, Allen naturally needed to bring his signature wolf cavalry.

This was also to show his importance to the enfeoffment ceremony, giving Duke Ryan an attitude.

“Lord, this day has finally arrived. I once thought that glory had left me, but the Lord has allowed it to surround us again.”

Marco quickly arrived at the castle, he seemed very excited.

Allen's promotion was accompanied by large tracts of land and a large number of people.

This meant that Allen could also enfeoff his own nobles.

For the first time, Marco felt that he was so close to the title of noble.

“Marco, don't be too surprised. Glory has never left, it just needs us to reach out and grab it. Our glory is more than this.”

Allen smiled indifferently, then began to instruct Edward and the others on some matters.

Most of the things revolved around Lucy.

Allen didn't plan to bring Lucy, because Lucy was too eye-catching.

She was too beautiful, and her green hair and pointed ears would expose that she was not human.

Of course, these could be covered up with excuses.

But Allen's biggest concern was the exposure of Lucy's identity.

In the bustling Royal Capital, if some sharp-eyed guys discovered Lucy's specialness, it would undoubtedly be a huge trouble for Allen.

“Lucy, stay at home and take care of the Nature Spirits and Fairies. After I come back, I will take you to our new home.”

Allen said gently to the Holy Fairy Girl.

“Okay, Allen, don't worry, I will definitely be obedient.”

Lucy nodded very obediently.

Allen smiled reassuringly, then immediately walked out of the castle.

Rose Town is located on the coast in the south of the Duchy. Although it is not at the southernmost end, it is almost there.

As a border noble, it takes a long time to travel to the Royal Capital each time.

Otherwise, Duke Ryan would not have notified Allen and the others to go to the Royal Capital a week in advance.

Soon, Allen rode the Silver Moon Wolf, leading the wolf cavalry away.

As for the others, Allen asked them to guard the territory well.

The speed of the wolf cavalry far exceeded that of ordinary cavalry. In addition, without the burden of other people, this time, Allen and the others arrived outside Thorns and Flowers City in just half a day.

Like Allen, Albert also received an invitation from the Royal Capital to participate in the celebration and the enfeoffment ceremony.

However, this Earl seemed to be just going as a spectator.

After all, Albert's contribution in this war was limited, not enough to support his promotion to Marquis.

This time, as soon as Allen's wolf cavalry arrived outside Thorns and Flowers City, the Thorns and Flowers City gate had already been opened proactively.

Now, the Silver Moon Wolf has become a symbol of Allen. Seeing the Silver Moon Wolf, everyone knows that it is the Silver Wolf Lord who dominates the battlefield.

As the second son of the Earl and a prominent figure in the Duchy, no one would disrespect him.

"Welcome, Lord Allen, the invincible Silver Wolf Lord, the nightmare of enemies, the Baron from Hell!" Allen rode the Silver Moon Wolf into the city, and all the citizens knelt down to worship.

This is awe and worship of the strong.

The rules of this world are like this: the strong are high above, and the weak can only kneel and salute.

The previous two times Allen came here, he did not receive such treatment, because the previous two times, Allen's identity was only the second son of the Earl.

But now he is the invincible Silver Wolf Lord!

He is a Gold Knight, a big figure who is about to become a noble of the Duchy!

Allen smiled, leading the wolf cavalry to receive everyone's kneeling worship, and slowly entered the Thorns Flower Castle.

After the national war, the Thorns Flower Castle returned to calm. Without war, the Thorns Flower territory no longer needed to mobilize troops, supplies, etc. Everything returned to its most peaceful state.

Originally located in the south, the Thorns Flower Castle could already feel a burst of heat, but as a coastal territory, the comfortable sea breeze could often dissipate some of the heat along the plains.

Allen's Silver Moon Wolf possessed magic, which could keep the surrounding temperature constant, allowing the wolf cavalry to maintain a comfortable temperature at all times.

Allen rode the Silver Moon Wolf into the Thorns Flower Castle under the gaze of everyone's worship.

This time entering the Thorns Flower Castle, Allen also felt a huge difference.

Unlike in the past when only Elon came out to greet him casually.

This time, the knights of the Thorns Flower Knight Order were already waiting for Allen outside the entire castle gate.

Elon and Albert were leading all the female relatives to wait for Allen's wolf cavalry outside the main castle gate. "Allen, welcome to your arrival."

Elon opened his mouth with a slightly complicated expression. During the national war, he had fought alone. Only after leaving Allen did he realize that war was not as simple as he had imagined.

Following Allen, he thought that war only required charging and killing to win.

But after leaving Allen, Elon discovered that his warriors were looking for chaos and lacked enough courage and order, making it difficult to win.

This made him feel even more that his younger brother was powerful. "Elon, long time no see."

Allen smiled slightly. Apart from the very beginning of the national war, he had not seen this cheap older brother for a long time.

"Allen, it seems you have also received the Grand Duke's call-up order. Rest in the castle for a while. I'll have the servants prepare a sumptuous lunch. After eating, let's go together." Albert also received an invitation and naturally had to go to the royal capital. "Okay."

Allen nodded. Soon, the servants began to get busy, and one sumptuous dish after another was brought up. The young maids kept flirting with the handsome Allen sitting at the dining table.

And those female relatives who had originally disdained Allen were now frequently showing their goodwill to Allen.

Several young ladies praised Allen, as if Allen was the eldest son of the Earl.

Allen's expression remained unchanged. He ate elegantly, chatting and laughing with Albert and Elon.

He also brought the Silver Moon Wolf that he had promised to Albert, which made Albert feel great.

Two hours later, Albert led a part of the Thorns Flower Knight Order and Allen's wolf cavalry together on the road to the former capital.

Six days later, they reached the royal capital.

The Laines Duchy is located in the southwest of the continent. Because it is close to the sea and has many rivers, the royal capital is also located near the largest lake in the Duchy, Lake Kedar. Here, the rivers are crisscrossed and it is known as the River Plain.

Here is an endless expanse of fertile land, with clear blue lakes, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. The royal capital is located here, and the tall city walls and the huge iron statues carved on the city walls give people a shocking feeling.

When Allen and the others arrived at the royal capital, it was already afternoon. Outside the royal capital, a pair of court knights were waiting here. "Hahaha, Earl Albert, Baron Allen, long time no see!"

Prince Reinason showed a bright smile when he saw Albert and Allen.

This noble Crown Prince was actually enduring the heat to wait for the two at the city gate, which made Albert slightly moved, but he quickly understood that this Prince was not waiting for him at all.

This Prince's gaze had been hovering almost entirely on Allen from beginning to end.

Thinking about Allen's performance during the national war, Albert also knew in his heart that Allen was the one worthy of Reinason, this noble figure, waiting at the city gate. "Your Highness, how long have you been waiting?"

Albert quickly had people speed up to join Prince Reinason's team.

"His Highness has been waiting for you for a day, from morning until now. You are too slow!" Behind Prince Reinason, a burly knight said with some displeasure.

At the same time, he looked at Allen, who was riding the Silver Moon Wolf, behind Albert with a slightly hostile gaze. "The invincible Silver Wolf Lord, Baron Allen?"

The knight said with some hostility. "It's me, who are you?"

Allen raised an eyebrow. He could naturally feel the other party's hostility. "Zell, step back!"

Reinason frowned slightly and said, "This is a conversation between me and Baron Allen."
