Chapter 94:

It wasnt just the villagers who thought that.

So did Lord Elmud.

When everything was finished and Raymond returned to the capital, Elmud made a promise.

I must return this favor.

He is a knight.

There was only one way to return the favor.

Elmud knelt before Raymond with a trembling face.

Le, Raymond, allow me to offer my sword to you!

It was the knights oath!

What?

Elmud meant it.

Its not a light decision.

Elmud has met many noble bloodlines.

But no one could be compared to Raymond.

Neither Prince Kairn nor Prince Lemarton, was comparable to Raymond.

He is a vessel that surpasses His Highness, Python, the genius Crown Prince who passed away in an unexpected accident.

-The knights sword becomes complete only when he finds someone to be loyal to.

These are the words of his father, Marquis Aris. The Marquis Aris, who said that, served King Oden all his life.

Then Elmud found someone to offer his sword.

That person I want to serve. I want to dedicate my sword to Mr. Raymond.

Because I have received a favor worth sacrificing even the worth of my sword.

Also, he was a respectful man who was not short of receiving his sword!

Raymond, of course, had an absurd response.

What kind of dog fart idea is this?

Thats ridiculous nonsense.

This nonsense will make Marquis Aris come running to kill me.

I think youre thinking something wrong.

I mean it! Please accept my sword!

But the genius boy was a bit stubborn for some reason.

The glare of his eyes felt the will to kill.

With good words, it didnt seems like he would back down.

Raymond hardened his face because he felt the energy to stick tenaciously.

In times like this, even if I said something harsh, I had to make sure that he wouldnt stick around.

Thats imprudent.

What?

Do you think it is time for you to dedicate your sword to someone?

!

Raymond said coldly on purpose.

You are still inadequate. Before offering your sword to someone, think of honing yourself more.

He will wake up, once he grow grows a little bigger and older.

Fortunately, the genius boy understood what he said.

His eyes were filled with water, and he bowed his head with a solemn face.

Yes, that is right. I am still not good enough. Ah, I understand.

Then that is enough.

Raymond left Elmud for the capital.

I spent more than I thought. I have to go back quickly and make money.

But Raymond didnt know.

What Elmud, who is left alone, is thinking.

Raymond probably gave him such advice because he was worried about him.

I will definitely work hard to overcome my shortcomings. So, I will become a sword worth of Sir Raymond!

Elmud grabbed his sword.

It will not take long.

Now that he has a clear goal of serving Raymond.

Thus began the legend of Elmud, who would later be praised as one of the best guardian knights of the medical school and as the knight of the moonlight.

***

Raymond hastened his way to the capital.

He was in a hurry because he had been away for so long.

But right before he arrived in the capital.

He met unexpected figures.

Baron Penin?

Lord Walton?

The Royal Knights, including Sir Walton, were waiting for Raymond!

Please wait a moment.

Then they urgently sent a telegram to the magic communications device.

We also found that the kingdom of Droughton was behind these events. Chancellor Galman interrupted for a momentarily.

This time, he saved the southern territory from the terrible plan of the evil enemies of Droughton, and he managed to reveal that it was indeed their work.

As soon as the kings words were over, a roar rang out.

Wow!

Long live Raymond!

It was simply a huge shout.

The ball was great, but it was Raymond, who was loved by the people, so he was cheered even more enthusiastically.

King Oden continued.

For such meritorious work, I will reward you with the rank above of baronet.

!

Raymonds eyes grew bigger again.

Above being a baron!

It was a position that was incomparable to the existing quasi-march.

If the quasi-marish is an honorary position with a barely aristocratic title, he is recognized as a complete aristocrat belonging to the fifth rank from the baron.

In addition, it is a title of succession, and it is possible to have a fiefdom, and a vassal can be placed under the command.

Oden spoke to Raymond.

To show the example of the military.

He is going to hold an award ceremony straight away.

Raymond of Penigna. I swear by Penins name, I offer my eternal loyalty to his great Majesty and to Houston.

I, Auden of Houston. I will take your allegiance under the name of the great Houston, and I will give you the title of Viscount.

The sword that came down to the King of Houston for generations touched Raymonds shoulder.

Thus, a brief ceremony was held, and Raymond became a viscount.

There was a great cheer again.

Your fief will be the Rafald Region.

?

Raymond tilted his head for a moment.

The Rafald region.

This is an area located in the Kingdom of Droughton.

No way?

Raymonds fingertips trembled.

It was only then that he could notice.

Why has Oden arranged such a grand occasion.

It wasnt just a tribute.

This is a place to make Raymond a hero of Houston before the war and to make an important declaration to the people.

Oden looked up at the sky.

I, King Oden, swear by the heaven in the name of Houston, that I will condemn the demons of Droughton who have committed these terrible crimes.

Oh, my!

A brilliant light broke out from Odens treasured sword.

The symbol of the Sword Master.

It was an Aurora Blade!

Oden declared, holding up his brilliant Aurora Blade.

I will begin the holy war!

It was a declaration of war. Thus began the war between the Kingdom of Houston and the Kingdom of Droughton.

***

A war was declared!

A huge storm swept across the kingdom of Houston.

Lets beat up the demons of Droughton!

Everyone, take up your arms!

The atmosphere was not bad.

The fault of the Kingdom of Droughton was obvious, so all the people stood up in full spirits.

Baron Penin had gained a huge lead in the cause by uncovering the activities of those Droughton bastards. Chancellor Galman said.

Hes done such a great job.

Justification is very important in war.

SOmetines to the point of determining victory or defeat in a war.

Houstons soldiers will exert great power with the conviction of punishing the demons. On the other hand, Droughtons soldiers will find no reason to fight and will be discouraged that they will not be able to fight properly.

Also, this case was not just a matter of fraud.

Its not just a simple territorial dispute, but a holy war ()!

It had great symbolic significance.

It was not just a territorial dispute, but a holy war, which allowed other allied countries to enter the war. It will be a very favorable war.

If it was a simple territorial dispute, the other Cross League States would have said they didnt know.

It was because there was no reason to help, and above all, it was likely to stimulate several other countries in the south.

If done incorrectly, the war could escalate into a war between the Cross League Empire and the Alliance of Southern Nations.

But now that its become a temple, its a different story.

It was thanks to Raymond.
