Chapter 105 The Ceremony IV

Velian finished his work with Samara, Juno, and Remi rather quickly, only they realised something strange was happening inside their bodies, unlike Naomi, none of them fainted as the backlash from this was greatly weaker than what he did with Delvi and Naomi.

"Do you guys want to rest?" Since he noticed their uncomfortable faces, he asked from them.

"It's okay, just a little headache," Juno and Remi were taking it rather easily compared to Samara, who was looking rather pale.

She didn't have the stamina or mana like them, so it was easy to guess why she felt more uncomfortable.

"Luna, what do they get from this event except for a power boost? Are there any other special effects?" Velian asked to which she quickly answered,

[Knight and Baron rank doesn't have any additional effects, master]

[Other ranks might have but you need to use them to get more information about it]

Even though Luna said that Velian decided to keep a close eye on the three of them. He didn't want anything unwanted happening to them because of his skill.

While he was thinking all this, Remi and Juno grabbed Samara and helped her to walk because she felt somewhat tipsy.

Velian waited until they went out patiently to start his other plan,

"Sariya, come forward," She heard Velian's words and quickly came forward.

Velian looked at the confused crowd before speaking loudly,

"As you might all know, she was the previous wife of viscount Jerald, but unlike that corrupted noble, she lived by rules and ethics, and helped us to free this territory from the evil grasp, so she would be rewarded heftily for her sacrifice,"

The crowd started to believe that it was Sariya's idea to take help from this external party to free the territory.

Some of them didn't like it as she betrayed her husband but most of them were either former servants of Viscount or people who were faithful to him,

Velian indeed managed to clean most of them but, not all of them. There were some remaining that didn't do anything illegal but, still, they supported Viscount.

Sariya didn't feel any remorse or anything for what she did,

"They deserved that, they tried to kill me and my daughter, why should I forgive them?" She thought remembering all the past things, that happened to them.

It only brought bitterness and sadness to her heart but, when she looked at the boy in front of her, she saw her future and her daughter's future,

Suddenly, she got a genius idea in her mind,

"Why don't I convince Elda to marry him?"

"He is handsome, strong and caring, he is the ideal husband for her," Sariya thought while looking at Velian, who was complimenting her work.

"It's a little strange that he's in love with his sister, but does it even matter? That girl was also not a bad one," Even Sariya didn't know how she started to think like this.

She suddenly remembered the touch of Velian and his handsome face close to her on the previous day,

"What am I thinking?" She panicked.

"I almost thought about someone that's the same age as Elda," She didn't want to be called a filthy woman. Now that she's a widow, Sariya had no choice but to spend her life alone or marry another nobleman, she wanted to avoid the latter if she can because the marriage didn't appeal to her anymore.

"Sariya, are you ready?" Suddenly, she heard the voice of Velian, she lifted her head to see his golden colour eyes staring directly at her.

"Yes," She answered him like she was mesmerised by his eyes. Sariya didn't even know what she agreed to.

Velian gave a slight nod and gave the order to Luna to start her bestowal,

[Individual Sariya:- accepted for the rank of viscount]

[Master, to carry on this further you need to assign her a territory, all the ranks above baron require a territory otherwise you can't give them this power]

"Hmm~ I was expecting something like that," Velian thought while looking at Sariya.

"Sariya Cantrell, do you promise to work with me loyal?" Velian's question made her confused.

"Yes, master," She answered him.

"Good, in exchange for your loyalty I give you this territory and its name, will be changed from Cantrell to Keller, you will have the official rank of the viscountess here," Velian said making all the crowd panic.

Even Sariya was amazed by his words,

[Requirments completed]

[Keller viscounty is registered under the name of Sariya Cantrell]

[Bestowing the rank of viscount to Sariya]

Unlike the previous event, the mana concentration in the environment visibly changed causing everyone to gasp in surprise.

They saw Velian using some kind of technique on her, but most of them knew nothing about it.

​ "What's that? What did he do?" They were excited and panicked seeing it.

"How do I know? Look it's shining on our viscountess," At his words, everyone noticed that light was fading and the viscountess was unharmed by it.

[Success]

"Luna, what are the benefits, she gets from this?" Velian knew about the benefits of knight and baron, but he expect this to be higher than those of lower ranks.

[Sariya as an exclusive connection with you, master, it can benefit both master and her, especially since you can mentally communicate with her]

[Power boost she got his significantly higher than normal baron or knight rank but still it's lower than your bloodline advantage]

"So, she will be able to power up but no matter how she tries, she won't be able to reach the next evolution, heck she might not even be able to reach SS rank," He thought looking at Sariya who slowly opened her eyes.

"What just happened?" She was confused because she felt something comfortable inside her body, and at the same time, she had a huge headache.

"Congratulations, you officially became a viscount now," At first Sariya was confused but after Velian explained to her about his skill, she couldn't help but open her eyes wildly at the pure surprise.

"What the hell is that? Isn't that super powerful?" She thought looking at her body, there weren't any external changes but, her mana and stamina had increased somewhat compared to before.

"I expect great things from you, Sariya," He announced making everyone clap at the scenery. Elda was happy to see everyone approaching her mother so, she clapped super hard until her hands became red.

"This concludes the ceremony, thanks for your support,"

"Remember, this is not the last war we are going to face, in future, you have the chance to be awarded like this, so do your best everyone," Velian left the stage leaving them with those words hinting Sariya to follow him.
