Alberu was quiet for a moment.

� Don�t worry.

He then continued to speak with a gentle smile on his face.

� We will remove the commander title given to you and we will not give you any further public posts or nobility rank.
�Oh!�

Cale was honestly full of admiration as he responded.

�Your highness, you will keep our promise! That is correct! I do not need anything other than golden plaques or money!�
� Yes, yes.
�Your highness, you truly have what it takes to be the moon over the Roan Kingdom and the Western continent�s night sky and the sun during the day!�
� Yes, yes. It looks like the Henituse household will become at least a Marquis and at maximum a Duke household.

�Ah?�

Cale�s body suddenly stopped as if he was a malfunctioning machine. Alberu didn�t care as he smiled brightly and continued to speak.

� It wasn�t my intention either, but the citizens keep saying that the guardian who protected the Roan Kingdom was the Henituse household. There�s a Marquis or Duke in the Roan Kingdom�s central region, the Northwest region, The Southwest region, and the Southeast region, so why! They kept saying the Henituse household has a lot of merits from the war and begged for me to raise the Count�s title to a higher one.
��Your highness, isn�t it difficult for a Count to become a Marquis or a Duke? Unless they have such meritorious achievements such as saving the kingdom or the continent-�

��Ah.�

Cale shut up in the middle of his sentence. The achievements of Cale and others who were associated with the Henituse household were similar to what he had just described.
They had fought off the Indomitable Alliance, prevented the naval battle without many casualties, and achieved many other things that made others see the Roan Kingdom as a strong kingdom.
Cale�s shoulders slowly started to fall.

� There�s also a rumor going around right now. They say that there is this evil bastard named the White Star who was the backing for the Empire�s Alchemists� Tower and was the culprit behind the war with the North and that Young master Silver Light was gathering heroes to protect the Western continent. The citizens were saying we needed to protect our young master.

�Aigoo, aigoo.�

Cale wanted to cry.

� Congratulations. It looks like you can end up becoming the slacker firstborn of Duke Henituse�s household.

The smiling Alberu seemed to be making fun of Cale.

� By the way, who will become the next lord of your household? Why has a decision not been made yet?

�My younger brother Basen�.�

The talented and cool Basen existed in the Henituse territory. Alberu continued to speak in a bright voice the moment Cale�s eyes sparkled.

� Your family should contact you regarding a title awarding ceremony for Count Deruth. See you then, since the whole family needs to come to the palace for such an affair. JrNovels.com
