Chapter 149: 13th Imperial knight! (2/2)

He found it amusing when Lucien was made a noble with the human realm cultivation base and he never expected Lucien to go far but today, gazing at his grandson, he felt the threat of death looming over his head. He knew his grandson was not the type to let go of old grudges. Lucien will only put it aside for now and wait for the perfect time to strike.

With such a threat rising so fast, why wouldn't he feel the urge to destroy them entirely?

”I suggest you restrain yourself old man… Or you may not live to leave this place!” Lucien's eyes let out a silver flash as he turned his attention on the old man he once called grandpa.

Hearing this Lukas flared up with anger and quickly rose to his feet, Lighting began crackling around him but then he felt the cold gaze of the emperor and Wuxing clan head, causing him to shrivel up and sink back into his seat. He didn't know why but he felt like everyone on this court is against him since they were all looking at him as if he did something stupid.

Would dare let this junior insult him and get away with it?

”Don't ponder too much on it old friend, even if given a chance to redeem your image you will die at the hands of your grandson…. You are not his opponent anymore!” The patriarch of the Lucardo clan said with a slight smile on his face.

Those around him nodded in agreement, causing the Raizen clan head to lower his head in shame. The emperor just shot the old clan head a cold glance and as soon as everything settled down he turned his attention to Lucien and only then did his gaze grow soft.

”Lucien Rakuzen, in one night alone, you have done a great service to this empire by letting her enemies know they can't just do as they please… For that, we thank you….” Emperor Fei said this and paused a little before he continued.

”As a reward, I have decided to grant you the title of viscount and allow you to pick a territory of your choice to add to your own…. After much deliberation, I and the twelve imperial knights of the Fotia empire have decided to invite you as the thirteenth imperial knight of the empire! What do you say?” Emperor Fei added with a raised eyebrow.

Hearing this, the entire hall erupted as they gazed at the twelve knights above in shock. The title of imperial knight means Lucien's position is practically higher than that of these nobles since he has the authority to command battalions in wars! If he should accept, he is no different from a war general! Someone considered to be on par with the twelve strongest spirit realm masters in the empire! If not for Klaus' condition, many would have kicked against it, but seeing what Lucien was able to do to the old monster, many considered him superior in strength now and none dared look down on him so no one dared to object.

”Before I accept this generous reward, I wish to clarify something” Lucien said calmly as he looked up this time, gazing into the eyes of the emperor fearlessly.

”Go on!” Emperor Fei said as he leaned forward with interest in his eyes.

”As a viscount, I have the right to choose another territory to put under my command and make it mine, am I correct?” Lucien asked.

”Yes…” Emperor Fei answered casually.

”And as an imperial knight, I am allowed to gather my own personal forces without restraint or restrictions?” Lucien asked again.

”Yes” Once again the emperor's answer was simple.

”Then I request that the emperor allows me to bring in my subordinates who reside outside the empire… They are the ones who thought me spirit beast cultivation method and because of them, I have come this far… They see me as their leader due to my ownership of the beast assimilation technique and they await my return!” Lucien said with a slight bow but his eyes were blazing with passion!

Hearing this everyone in the room was stunned. They have forgotten Lucien must have learned spirit beast magic from somewhere and having seen it on numerous occasions they could attest to its power even without Lucien saying it. If Lucien can gather elite members capable of utilizing the spirit beast ability, his strength will skyrocket in an instant and they will be of great help in the upcoming war!

”I agree… You have my blessing!” Emperor Fei was pleased with Lucien's offer and quickly agreed.

”Welcome the thirteenth Imperial knight of the Fotia empire, Lucien Rakuzen!” Wuxing clan head declared with a loud voice causing many to stand and clap!
