"That's right. I came here this time so that you can quickly write and sign the adoption agreement. I will take Krober and leave here directly without wasting a single moment of your time."
After saying this, Baron Adam added, seemingly worried that Baron Klar might change his mind:
"Klar, don't forget what you promised me and the Golden Rose Family!"
Yes, I knew it in my heart from the beginning that the day Krober broke through to become a formal knight would be the day he changed his surname to Golden Rose.
But he didn't expect to come back so early that day, and it was such a coincidence.
At this moment, just before the Western Expedition Order was issued, the entire continent was filled with a tense and excited atmosphere.
The nobles were extremely anxious and could not wait to gather all the forces in their territories to conquer the unknown land and open up a wider territory.
However, compared with other ambitious nobles, the Deepwater Territory he ruled seemed somewhat powerless.
Including Krober and his follower Foster, there are only three official knights here.
If Krober was adopted into the Golden Rose Family during this crucial period, wouldn't he be the only official knight left in the entire Deepwater Territory?
If Deepwater Territory really had to rely on himself to hold the fort in this war, then his lord Stephen Moonlight Mushroom would probably have to strip him of his baron title and give it to some powerful knight family instead.
"No... This can't happen!"
Baron Klar, who had already made up his mind, clenched his fists tightly and spoke in a very tactful tone.
"Yes, Krober's adoption into the Golden Rose Family is a major event, but the entire country is currently actively preparing for war. I don't think the current situation is suitable for an adoption ceremony. How about waiting until the war is over?"
He tried to keep his voice calm, not wanting to cause too much conflict or contradiction.
Baron Adam is also very smart when he is not in a state of panic. He is also aware of the current combat power of Deepwater Territory and naturally knows the importance of the two official knights.
He didn't care about the life and death of the Oat Family or even the entire Deepwater Territory. He only cared about whether Krober could be successfully adopted into the Golden Rose Family.
Baron Adam sat up straight on the sofa and said to Klar.
"I'm informing you, not discussing it with you, Klar. Krober's adoption is a fact. We agreed on this back then, and Krober has signed the contract. If you disobey, you'll be punished with dragon's breath!"
"From today on, whether you agree or not, Krober is a direct descendant of the Golden Rose Family. You cannot change this outcome. All you can do is to end your nominal father-son relationship with Krober in a dignified manner. Do you understand?"
"Golden Rose, keep your word!"
After hearing this, Baron Klar knew that there was no turning back on this matter, but he really didn't want to miss this last chance, so he could only focus his attention on his youngest son who was not favored by him.
"Krober... I know you're not having a good time in Deepwater Territory. I'm responsible for that. If you're willing to forgive me, then you'll be the sole heir to Deepwater Territory. I can also give you the contract with the only elf of the Oat Family, as long as you're willing to stay here."
At the last moment, Klar's IQ, which had been away from home for a long time, suddenly returned.
He knew that at this moment, only by putting everything he had on the negotiating table could he have a chance of getting Krober to come back.
Klar looked at Krober with eyes full of hope. He knew it was too late, but he had to fight for it. Fighting for a glimmer of possibility and giving up directly were two completely different options.
"Oh!"
Baron Adam smiled disdainfully, thinking that his nephew was a rookie who lacked fatherly love!
This kind of emotional card has no effect on him. The Golden Rose Family can meet all the conditions you give him, and even give more.
My nephew is grateful and a smart man. He knows how to make the right choice.
Thinking of this, Baron Adam sat on the sofa, playing with his fingers boredly, with no intention of interrupting.
Facing his "father's" hopeful gaze, Krober smiled slightly.
If Krober's aristocratic etiquette were to be rated, it would definitely be full marks.
He bowed slightly, a friendly but not intimate smile on his face, and spoke.
"I regret to say that I refuse your request, Lord Baron Klar. I have decided to return to my mother's home, and this decision cannot be changed."
…
"All right."
After a long silence, Baron Klar finally agreed to the request. He couldn't refuse it. After all, he couldn't afford to offend anyone in the room.
Taking out the parchment and picking up the quill pen, Baron Klar began to write the regulations for the adoption of offspring.
The rules for adopting offspring are one of the aristocratic rules unique to this world.
They were commonly used for the merger of nobles and the incorporation of side branches into the main branch.
Lilith Golden Rose is Earl Daniel's biological daughter, and his children can naturally become direct descendants of the Golden Rose family.
Soon, everyone got the adoption agreement handwritten by Baron Klar, which specifically stated that Krober would have nothing to do with the Oat Family of Deepwater Territory from now on, and would only survive as Krober Golden Rose.
Similarly, Kroeber could no longer enjoy any of the treatment that members of the Oat family enjoyed.
Of course, Kroeber himself didn't care at this point.
After each of them signed their names on the adoption agreement, Krober officially lost the surname Oat. In exchange, he would change to his new surname.
