Chapter 66： loyalty

How difficult is it to be promoted from baron to viscount?

The baroniality of the Anglia family was acquired by Colin's great-great-grandfather after fighting for half his life on the battlefield.

Since then, although all three barons of the Anglia family have been on the battlefield, and two of them died on the front line, they still have not been able to raise the family's title to viscount.

Of course, there are too many lords in the north, slow metabolism, and serious class consolidation, but it also shows the difficulty of promotion.

This time, Colin did not expect that not only did he inherit the baron of the cheap daddy, but he was also promoted to the viscount.

Aside from the surprise, Colin also realized that his promotion this time was actually the result of a combination of many factors.

As a result, most of the old lords in the north were swept away by the two brothers of the St. Hild family, and a large amount of land was also taken back by the St. Hild family, which naturally caused the difficulty of awarding the title to be greatly reduced.

Secondly, after all, Colin was involved in the battle of chasing and destroying the trolls, and he gained a lot of credit.

Although it is said that Colin played a very small role in that battle, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole process of soy sauce is not an exaggeration, but the Duke of St. Hilde obviously did not want to give all this great credit to the Black Cavalry. general.

Therefore, among the nobles participating in this battle, Colin, apart from the Marquis Garcia, is the only noble who is loyal to the Duke of St. Hild. Of course, he will receive the Duke’s attention.

Well, I don’t know if the Marquis Garcia and Vera played any role in this matter. If they both had Colin before the Duke, then promotion to the Viscount would really not be a difficult task.

Anyway, now Colin's bull is broken!

The Anglia family has taken a big step forward in his hands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Guangzong Yaozu.

I didn't see the crowd watching the ceremony. My sister Caitlin was already in tears with excitement. At the same time, she clenched her fists with her hands on her chest, presumably to comfort her dead father and let him rest in peace.

After Colin took the oath, an attendant walked up with a brand new Viscount dress in his hand.

This dress is a dark red velvet coat and black trousers. The coat of arms is embroidered with the Anglia family crest, and there are two silver stripes under the coat of arms-this is a symbol of Viscount title.

Colin took it with both hands.

Then, the attendant once again handed the Viscount’s exclusive ring and ribbon, and a piece of parchment with gilded text and the seal of the Duke of St. Hilde—the new territory that was entrusted to the Anglia family on it.

Colin held this pile of things, bowed again to the Duke of St. Hild, and then stepped back.

Sister Caitlin rushed to Colin happily, almost uncontrollable in joy.

But she also knew to pay attention to the occasion, and she just whispered in Colin's ear:

"Colin! Great! Father will be proud of you when he knows it! Our Anglia family has been fighting for so many years and finally become a Viscount family! Quick, let me see where the family's new fief is... "

Colin looked at his excited sister, but there was not much disturbance in his heart.

After all, his sense of identity with the Anglia family is not high, and he wants to know whether this sister is really happy for him, or is she pretending to be?

Just as Colin stared at his sister Caitlin and observed carefully, he suddenly found that the joy on the other's face had solidified suddenly, and was replaced by shock and doubt.

"What's the matter?" Colin blinked and asked in a low voice.

Caitlin spread the parchment in front of Colin, and asked incredulously: "Look at the new fiefdom of the family... how could it be here?"

Colin looked at the parchment suspiciously, and then he was also stunned.

How could it be here?

Is it wrong?

……

Just as Sister Colin looked at each other, the nominating ceremony continued.

The one called by the name this time is Kahn Suduo.

The eldest son of the Su Duo family, who had been entangled with Colin quite a bit, walked to the center of the hall with excitement and knelt on one knee.

In the past two months, the changing situation in the north, to be honest, made Kahn quite dazed and scared.

But fortunately, he kept in mind his father's words before his death, and closely followed in the footsteps of his uncle, Count Uman, so that he could survive the catastrophe without any risk.

even made a great contribution!

In Kahn's view, if that pesky Colin can be named Viscount, then should the Suduo family's knighthood be promoted to the first rank?

However, just as Kahn was waiting for the Duke's canonization with expectation, the Duke inserted the long sword in his hand into the marble floor under his feet and questioned Kahn:

"Kahn Knight, tell me, what is loyalty?"

"What?" Kahn looked up stupidly, looking at the Duke of St. Hild blankly.

The crowd watching the ceremony suddenly quieted down.

Kahn’s sister, Cynthia Suduo, whom Colin called a "crazy woman", was also surprised by the duke's questioning.

Her hands clenched instantly, and she instinctively realized that something was wrong.

Colin squeezed the parchment in his hand and looked at Kahn, who was stunned in the field. He seemed to wake up suddenly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Loyal...loyal...of course it is...that is..."

"What is it?"

The Duke of St. Hilde's face was cold, his sharp gaze seemed to have penetrated the poor knight who was kneeling in front of him.

Under such gaze, Kahn only felt that his mind was blank, and he didn't know what he said.

The Duke of St. Hild's tone was extremely cold: "You asked Charles to give up his position as a Marquis in public. Is it because of loyalty?"

is over.

The Su Duo family, it's over.

This is the thought in the hearts of all the nobles present.

Obviously, the Duke of St. Hilde is turning over the old account.

When Kahn was introduced as a bird by the Earl of Uman, many people guessed that he would pay for it.

Now, the price has really come.

Kahn thought that he would “follow the battle with Count Uman to wipe out the previous offense.

But obviously, the Duke of St. Hild did not intend to easily let the Sudor family go.

The face and glory of the Saint Hild family cannot be trampled on by a little noble.

Of course, in fact, what really made Charles take the initiative to give up his title was the pressure of the Marquis Garcia.

However, the Marquis Garcia had enough confidence that the Duke’s anger would not pour on him.

And Kahn Suduo, hehe, he doesn't have this ability, so he can only become the object of the Duke's prestige.

Kill the chicken and the monkey!

"me……"

Looking at a wimpy Kahn, the Duke of St. Hild sneered, and suddenly said loudly: "Viscount Colin, what do you mean by loyalty?"

The eyes of the audience suddenly turned to Colin.

Colin was taken aback, but soon strode forward.

He seems to have a hunch about this.

"Lord Duke, I think that loyalty means giving everything to yourself unconditionally, regardless of the cause, regardless of right or wrong, regardless of gain or loss!"

"Regardless of the reason, regardless of right or wrong, regardless of gains or losses..." Duke St. Hilde chewed Colin's answer carefully, and a hint of appreciation and deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

Then, he threw the long sword in his hand straight towards Colin, and at the same time ordered: "Okay! Then I will order you now and kill Kahn Suduo immediately!"

"Yes!"

The nobles present had not reacted yet, and even when Kahn himself was still kneeling on the ground in a daze, Colin had already caught the long sword thrown by the Duke.

Then, swipe it away without hesitation!

"Huh!"

A flash of silver light flashed.

Blood splattered!
