Chapter 65: 039 I Out to Enjoy a Festival -2 (Part One)

The archbishop and his fellow bishops hurriedly fled fro only the Holy Erandson, the First Imperial Prince Luan, behind to man their positions

They stared at each other and began their discussion

Luan started speaking first “With what Raphael said… Do you think he’s onto so?”

“Do you mean the ‘holy undead’?”

Luan looked at his own hand The unblemished white skin entered his view Even after ahis own skin several tiht about this randfather Ithat things like a holy undead being created wouldn’t be iaze back to Kelt Olfolse

The eure it out How can a set of rules that contradict itself exist? However… if what Raphael has said is all true, then that onlyfrom us”

“Why doesn’t he tell us the truth?”

“Because he doesn’t trust us We ourselves are guilty after all”

The guilt of banishi+ng the boy and abandoning him – there was also the threat of assassination, and yet the Imperial Family chose to turn a blind eye

That was most likely the reason for Allen’s distrust of the entire Ian spreading on Kelt’s lips, a Paladin quietly approached and whispered soe “Your hness the First Imperial Princess”

Kelt Olfolse furrowed his brows and broke open the wax seal After scanning through the contents, he shook his head “We got rid of the pests, but now it’s the wild beasts’ turn, it see to the letter, dee nearby the expansive forest found in the Hilda fiefdom, which was located in the northwest of the Empire

Kelt Olfolse asked the Paladin, “Which Order of Cross?”

“Your majesty, the Order of the Verdant Cross has been dispatched as per her highness’s instruction”

“What seems to be the problem then?”

“The enemy has proven to be quite crafty, your majesty They attack swiftly, and then withdraw just as quickly back to the forest, their natural territory Not even the members of the Verdant Cross dare to carelessly tread in their backyard, your roaned under his breath

Luan, as sitting on the opposite balcony, tilted his head “Did so happen, your majesty?”

“It’s frootten somewhat complicated”

“Is it because of the deed his shoulders “It’s likely that the news of Va from our land has even reached that place That’s probably the reason why those beasts began their ra this, the Holy Emperor turned his head in another direction His attention was now resting on a group entering through the courtrooirl and two men – Charlotte, Gril, and Harman

Gril was exceptionally cautious as he studied the atmosphere inside Lord Jenald left for his fiefdoo, and that hy only the farmer and Charlotte had been invited here

“Uhm, excuse me… D-dear Paladin-nim? Why did you summon us here?”

It was at that very roup “I summoned you all today so that I can bestow upon you with suitable rewards for defending our northern territory”

All of the colours drained out of Gril’s complexion at the Holy Eround

Unlike hih, Charlotte adhered to the established etiquette of the i her head

“Oh-hoh!”

Kelt’s brows arched in a soft sht be one thing, but as far as he was concerned, this girl truly possessed an air si in the imperial court

“I’d like to reward you both”

Luan also came down from the balcony and stood before them He produced a docue, which wasas well as his Iranted nobility”

Gril, still face dohile koing on the floor, wasa puzzled expression

nobility?

He recalled that it was some throay joke the Paladin na the same joke now too?

“Hear ye, oh the present head of the House of Count Heraiz, Gril Heraiz”

Gril flinched nastily

Gril Heraiz? Who or as even this Heraiz thing? He raised his head with a dazed expression etched on his face

“Not only did you ably defend our northern territory, you are also the only randchild, Allen Olfolse As such, I shall bestow upon you the title of Marquis”

Gril’s jaw figuratively fell to the ground

“In addition, your daughter, Charlotte Heraiz, will be granted the peerage of Paladin She will be accepted into the knight order directly underon, I beg y-your pardon… Your majesty?”

Gril’s eyenow

“Of course, if you wish to continue living in anonymity, then I shall respect your decision and not force it upon you However, Charlotte, what say you?”
