It was also considered far less dangerous to work for another rich noble Most of the tiuard that would just shadow their master from behind Most work they would put in would be to continue their training while their h noble they were serving it could be a very easy position Even without asking Roland hich path his ‘older’ brother would take It didn’t take much to realize what kind of person Robert was and how he intended to make his iment he intends to join?”

“Ah, so you knew about his decision? Sir Robert wasn’t sure but he mentioned that he was interested in the cavalry divisions”

“He really does intend to follow in his footsteps, huh?”

Roland mumbled to himself while Lucille was left with some scrambled audio on her end

“What was that Sir Wayland? Some footsteps?”

“You’ll have to excuseout loud”

Roland are of his father’s military ht He had worked his way up froht Coht could hope for Then he had pushed towards an even higher ranking as he achieved the noble status

It would be a hard thing to h this path Then he could actually receive his own noble title that would not be under the Arden Estate umbrella He could choose to either keep the Arden name or to use a different one With a new name, he would be asked to create a crest of his own and he would receive so, will you becoe, Lady Lucille?”

Roland shi+fted the conversation in a different direction He wasAs an existence that could lead a sging him back to the estate Lucille did assure him that his secret was safe with them but Roland was still scared that the information could slip for one reason or another

“Oh… I haven’t decided yet, pappa wants me to stay at the estate for now After the incident, he has becohter of a count and also a skillful e She had a lot of worth and her close call with death was so that her father are of While most of it was downplayed by Percival and the exah

With how little nobles cared about the words of commoners and adventurers, the event was successfully contained The truth would probably never reach his ears and with how Lucille was going along with the lie there would be no reason for him to push the issue further

“That doesn’t sound so bad, why don’t you join the e order at the academy, you always seemed like the scholarly type”

“I think I’ll leave those for later…”

He didn’t feel like going through ood today so he et his hands dirty The way into his underground lair was now behind a bookshelf that he could open by pulling on a specific book

Before going down, he looked at a certain ruby wolf and gave his head a rough pat
