After a brief exchange and wait, Krober finally received his guards.

After all, we are on someone else's territory, so just wait a while.

"Everyone, hurry up! We need to get to Saint Gold Castle as soon as possible."

Krober sat on Griffin's back and gave orders in a serious tone.

Clobert reserved ample time for this trip.

However, for attending such an important banquet, arriving as early as possible is undoubtedly the best option.

It not only enables timely acquisition of intelligence, but also helps to formulate countermeasures in advance.

Fortunately, the horses equipped for the escort team this time are all strong war horses. They have plenty of endurance and extremely fast speed, which can ensure that they can smoothly follow Krober to Fort Saint Gold.

On the third night before Grand Duke Veronica's birthday party, Krober and his party arrived at the city below Fort Saint-Gold.

They rested for a while in the familiar pub and spent a peaceful evening.

The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds onto the earth, like a layer of golden gauze, bringing a touch of warmth and brightness to the whole world.

Krober led everyone on the road to the Saint Gold Castle on the mountain.

He has walked this road many times, but he can feel different scenery and atmosphere every time.

Walking on the familiar road, Krober was in a particularly good mood.

However, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came:

"Viscount Krober!"

Hearing this annoying voice, Krober's face instantly turned into gnashing of teeth.

A familiar figure immediately emerged in his mind—Victor Sunflower.

Although this guy has a good relationship with him, his bad taste really makes Krober unable to cope.

"Victor Sunflower! I swear, I will tear your mouth off and feed it to your warhorse, so that you will never make such a disgusting sound to pollute my ears in your life."

Kroeber said through gritted teeth.

He stopped and turned to face the approaching figure.

Victor Sunflower hasn't changed much since the last time we met, and he still looks so "cheap".

Of course, this despicable look is only seen in Krober's eyes. In the eyes of other people who don't know the truth, Victor always maintains a serious expression.

Once you get to know him a little, you will find that he is a dishonest and careless guy.

But it was this guy who won Kroeber's friendship.

This can only be said to be some kind of bad fate.

"Haha, Krober, you always say that, but my mouth is still on my face. Come on! My mouth has been waiting for you for a long time."

Victor didn't take Krober's words to heart at all. He was just like that, careless and careless.

“When I came here last time, you were still a baron. The Grand Duke took you out for a flight and you became a viscount.

Even if a new island is discovered, the appointment will not be announced on the spot.

Tell me honestly, what did you do to deserve such favor from the Grand Duke?

Victor pulled Krober aside and asked in a low voice.

Kroeber responded by rolling his eyes elegantly.

Seeing that Krober didn't speak, Victor continued to urge:

"Hurry up and tell me, brother, you are serious this time, teach me quickly.

Otherwise, I'll probably be homeless after I retire from the Knights. As a friend, can you bear to see me suffer like this?"

After hearing this, Krober realized that Victor was not teasing him.

But how could Victor, the commander of the Dragon Breath Knights and a great knight, become homeless?

"What crime have you committed? You're still homeless. What else could your Sunfire City possibly need?"

"Oh, don't mention it..."

So Victor told Krober what happened to him.

It turns out that Victor's father is the lord of Sunfire City and the earl of the Sunflower Family.

Since Victor was an illegitimate child, according to tradition, he could not inherit the family business and was not even qualified to have the surname Sunflower.

However, Victor did not want to give up his ideals. He aspired to become a great knight since he was a child and trained hard for this purpose.

Finally, relying on his own strength and talent, he successfully joined the Dragon Breath Knights, broke through to the Grand Knight and was gradually promoted to Knight Commander.

However, this also aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of his brother.

His brother believed that allowing an illegitimate child to appear in front of the Grand Duke was an insult to the Sunflower Family.

It means that the descendants of the Sunflower Family are all trash, and they rely on an illegitimate child to support them.

"Are you trying to say that you were framed by your brother, kicked out of the house, and had nowhere to go after you retired?"

Victor was stunned, then nodded vigorously.

Krober slapped his forehead, wondering why such a bloody plot happened to Victor, and he even knew about it.

Why does this setting make him feel more like the protagonist than himself? Could it be that he is the real "From the Baron's Second Son to the Dragon Knight"?

Shaking off the absurd thoughts in his mind, he still had many questions to ask Victor.

"If I remember correctly, you were the only one from the Sunflower Family who joined the Dragon's Breath Knights. Why did they kick you out? This is incredibly stupid!

Even if you are just a bastard!"
