From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider
Chapter 15 I really want to improve (1/2)
"Are you sure? This is not something you can regret!"
Earl Daniel asked Krober with a solemn expression.
Although it was the first time for Count Daniel to meet Krober, he was full of affection for the child who looked most like Lilith. Not to mention Krober's excellent talent and ability to deal with people, which deepened Count Daniel's desire. Cultivate Klopper’s ideas.
"The conditions of the Grand Duke's Knights are indeed good, but how many opportunities will you have to make meritorious deeds by joining the Knights? The Grand Duke is a dragon knight standing at the top of the continent. You are just a facade."
"When you get older or no longer handsome, you can only choose to retire, and all you will get are some gold coins and a set of weapons and equipment. These things may be quite valuable to some small nobles, but for people like us For such a big family, it’s not worth mentioning at all.”
Earl Daniel explained in detail the advantages and disadvantages of joining the Knights. This is the most silent love an elder has for his younger generation.
Analyzing pros and cons is a skill Klober has learned since he was a child.
He pretended to think, but in fact, he had already prepared reasons to convince Earl Daniel.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I still decided to join the Grand Duke's Knights. After all, I can't use the family's resources for nothing. I naturally have to contribute to the family. As long as I join the Knights, I believe you and Uncle Adam will not be affected by this matter. Feeling distressed.”
Klober deeply understands his position.
He wants to be a sensible, filial and talented junior, so that he can get more resources in the Golden Rose family to help him practice. Only when he is strong can he gain higher power and status, and naturally be more capable. Good to give back to the family.
Thinking of this, Krober complained about the Grand Duke from the bottom of his heart.
What kind of direct knighthood? To put it nicely, it is a guard of honor, but to put it badly, it is not the vase raised by the Grand Duke.
But as long as the resources are in place, Krober doesn't mind becoming a vase. After all, he has the conditions, so why not do it?
Count Daniel sighed helplessly when he saw that Krober had made up his mind. Although he was indeed pleased with Krober's attitude towards considering the family, he also really hoped to give Krober a better one. conditions to make up for his guilt towards Lilith.
"Well, my original plan was to put you next to Adam as his deputy. When you can do some military exploits during the war, I will give you a knighthood, and then slowly develop your own power."
"But since you want to do your part for the family, I can't stop you. Then I will reply to the Grand Duke and recommend you to join the Grand Duke's direct knight order - Dragon's Breath."
Earl Daniel patted Krober on the shoulder. He was very sorry that his grandson reunited with him for such a short time, but he felt happier because of his grandson's ambition.
"Go and prepare. There will be a banquet in the castle tonight. Let those guys who have nothing to do every day come out and have a good experience. What are the qualities that the younger generation of my Golden Rose family should possess."
These words were directed at Baron Adam.
After hearing this, Baron Adam agreed, and then left the study to perform his duties.
Krober, on the other hand, was left in the study by Count Daniel and chatted about household matters.
Kiss from every other generation, kiss from every other generation.
Count Daniel does have a family affection for Krober, although most of it may be because of his mother Lilith.
But part of it is also due to Klober's own talent and character.
I don’t know how long the grandfather and grandson chatted. All they knew was that the night was like ink, covering the entire castle, and the torches outside the castle were like stars, lighting up this dark world.
In the end, it was Baron Adam who came up in person to interrupt the conversation between the grandfather and grandson.
"Father, the banquet is ready. Now we will wait for you and Krober to arrive so that we can start the banquet."
"good."
Earl Daniel nodded, indicating that he understood, then turned his head and said to Krober.
"Although you are about to join the Grand Duke's knights, it is better for you to get to know some people in the family as soon as possible. After all, we are a family."
Count Daniel already had a rough impression of Krober through this period of communication.
Mature and steady, but still can see the shadow of youthfulness in some things.
He has a lovable personality, and is a model nobleman in terms of etiquette and appearance. Daniel is very satisfied with this grandson.
But Klober also has an obvious shortcoming.
suspicious.
This may be related to the environment in which he grew up. Krober seems to trust everyone around him, but after all, Daniel has been an earl for so many years. It is natural to see that Krober has a distrust of the entire family in his heart. .
According to his estimation, only Foster, who has been taking care of him since he was born, has gained his trust.
Maybe Adam counts as one, but it’s hard to say about the others, including himself, his grandfather.
This matter cannot be rushed. Daniel originally wanted Krober to live in the castle for a period of time to cultivate Krober's sense of belonging to the family. After all, Krober's attitude towards the Golden Rose family now should be more about repaying gratitude, and Not from a family perspective.
"Damn it Kral!"
Earl Daniel automatically attributed the responsibility of this matter to Baron Klar, who could roughly guess Klar's psychological activities.
But it was because he guessed it that he was even more disdainful of Klar.
He was short-sighted and had no vision at all. In order to protect the inheritance rights of his eldest son, he forced away a genius who could truly lead the family to take a step forward or even several steps.
He was too greedy. He wanted to enjoy the power brought to him by the Golden Rose Family and occupy the so-called dominant position. He had sent people to investigate the intelligence reported by Adam. Based on his understanding of Klar, this matter was probably correct. Maybe this matter was a provocation organized by him to the influence of the Golden Rose Family in Deepwater Territory.
But in the end, it might have gone too far, causing Lilith to die in childbirth. In order to hide this fact, he used so many stupid tricks in the end.

Castle Hall.
The Golden Rose Family's Flower Crown Castle is completely different from the Moonlight Castle in terms of its coolness. The architectural style of the Flower Crown Castle is a distinct military fortress style.
The main body of the castle is made of a yellow-brown rock, which includes training grounds, arrow towers, armories, guard rooms and other buildings. The area is about the size of two football fields in Krobel's previous life. According to Earl Daniel, this castle is the first castle of the family, so the area is slightly smaller, and the appearance looks very good.
Having said that, Krobel still noticed that there is a shooting hole and a window for spears almost every short section of the castle.
It can be said that the castle can defend against two or even three times the number of troops of the same strength without being defeated, and even five times the number of troops can last for a long time.
Many children of the Golden Rose Family have long heard that a young man who has been living outside but has excellent talent has just been adopted back. Most of them are also very curious about this young man who has never met but is familiar with him.
As Krober followed Count Daniel into the hall, everyone's eyes became hot.
Krober's dazzling golden hair was casually draped over his shoulders like a waterfall. The decent dress perfectly highlighted his well-proportioned and slender figure. His skin was as white as mutton-fat jade, but it was also healthy and ruddy, as if proving his vitality and health to the world.
The handsome and slightly immature face was like a newly blooming bud, proving that its owner was a teenager who had not yet held the coming-of-age ceremony. However, the golden fighting spirit contained in his body was like a burning flame, hot and dazzling, and it warned people not to despise him because of his age.
Facing the eager eyes of the crowd, Krober sat on the left hand side of Count Daniel, which was the position specially prepared for him as the protagonist of today's banquet.
The banquet of the Flower Crown Castle was not as formal as other noble banquets. When Count Daniel loudly announced the official start of the banquet, everyone present was immediately immersed in the warm and cheerful atmosphere.
People raised their glasses and drank happily, with laughter and joy.
At the same time, many people held wine glasses and walked to Krober's position to toast him.
Krober knew that this banquet was a great opportunity for him to make new friends and expand his network, so he secretly made up his mind to get along well with everyone. Facing the guests who came to toast, he was very generous and generous, and he did not refuse anyone.
However, since Krober was not yet an adult, he was not allowed to drink according to regulations.
Therefore, he had to use milk instead of wine and toast with everyone. Despite this, this did not affect the joyful atmosphere at the scene at all, but made people appreciate this young and promising family member even more.
Through this banquet, Krober clearly felt the difference between the entire Golden Rose Family and other nobles, or, the difference between him and the Oat Family where he used to live.
The members of the Golden Rose Family live more casually, and their control of etiquette is even worse than when Krober first started to learn etiquette.
But this also brought Krober a new feeling, because he could clearly feel the trust from the entire family members in himself, because of the blood flowing in his body, and also because of his surname.
Golden Rose!
This shows that the cohesion of the entire family is very strong, but according to Earl Daniel, the dozens of people present are already most of the members of the Golden Rose Family.
"Oh, the dragon is above!"
There were about fifty people at the banquet, some of whom came with their families, and some came alone. Excluding the noble ladies who married into the family, there seemed to be less than twenty adult males in the entire family, including Krober. If some members who were serving or performing tasks outside were included, there were probably only thirty or forty.
For a large earl family, this was definitely a population decline.
After all, even an Oats family that only lasted for two or three generations had three or four direct children, and countless illegitimate children.
The Moonlight Mushroom family is full of offspring, and it is said that they can form a cavalry regiment of sons.
After all, there is no entertainment in this world, even for nobles.
Therefore, in addition to creating children, they only create children. As long as they ensure that the inheritance rights of the children born to the noble ladies they marry will be no problem, there will naturally be a lot of illegitimate children in their lifetime.
According to incomplete statistics, the illegitimate sons of nobles are the largest force forming the family cavalry regiment.
The Marquis of Shadow Snake, far to the east of the principality, even gave birth to an army of more than a hundred illegitimate children by virtue of his super fertility.
It is said that his mistresses were all placed in the same street. As long as they gave birth to children for the Marquis, they would receive enough gold and silver to live a happy life.
That street is also called Mistress Street or Bastard Street, but the official name is Paradise Street.
After thinking about it, Krober realized that his thoughts had drifted, so he put aside the messy thoughts in his mind and turned to enjoy the banquet held for him.
Happy banquet time - the end
As time gradually passed, everyone present became drunk and was taken back to their rooms by the servants serving on the side.
Krober, who had stayed awake because he only drank milk, was stopped by Earl Daniel, who also stayed awake.
"How is it? Are you still used to it?"
Earl Daniel really hopes that Krober can integrate into the family's life as soon as possible.
"It's okay, grandpa. I feel like everyone in the family doesn't have any ill intentions toward me, which makes me a little uncomfortable."
He paused and added.
"But...I do feel the family affection."
"Hahahahaha."
Count Daniel was amused by these words.
"Do you think we are the kind of short-sighted fools? If we don't even protect our own clansmen and relatives, then what kind of nobles are we? We might as well just throw away our titles and become commoners!"
"You have to remember, Krober, we can be cruel and merciful, but those who are only towards those civilians or other nobles, our own tribe, our own family..."
"We don't differentiate between each other!"
