With fear and longing for the unknown future, Krober's heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
He clenched his fists tightly, sweat oozing from his palms, as if he could feel the weight of the impending fate. Every step seemed so heavy, as if he was stepping into a completely unfamiliar world.
Beside him, Baron Adam appeared calm and composed. His tall figure gave people an inexplicable sense of security, as if just following him would lead them to the right path. Krober took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and followed Baron Adam into Count Daniel's study.
The study was filled with a faint bookish atmosphere, and the walls were covered with precious paintings and ancient maps. Sunlight streamed through the window onto the desk, illuminating the piles of books and documents.
Earl Daniel's real age should be around sixty years old, but due to his strength as a sky knight, he now looks more like a middle-aged man who is just over thirty years old.
Count Daniel's dazzling golden hair was of perfect length, contrasting with his chiseled face, which looked like a masterpiece of a master sculptor.
His eyes were an intoxicating sky blue, deep and bright, like the clearest sea water on a summer day, or like the twinkling stars in a clear night sky.
His eyes exude a gentle and refined demeanor, seemingly imbued with endless wisdom and kindness. When he gazes at others, the warmth in them seems to penetrate their souls, captivating them.
At this moment, Count Daniel sat at his desk, holding a letter in his hand, reading every word intently. However, his furrowed brow betrayed his true feelings - at this moment, his mood was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.
The footsteps of Adam and Krober naturally attracted the attention of Earl Daniel.
When he saw his son leading in a young man whom he had never seen before but who had the most obvious characteristics of the family, Daniel realized that this person should be Lilith's son and his own grandson - Krober Golden Rose.
"Are you back?"
Daniel placed the letter in his hand on the table and rubbed his brow tiredly. The war was approaching, and all the affairs of the entire territory, big and small, would have to go through his hands. Even with his strong physique as a Sky Knight, he felt tired.
“I’m back!”
Adam has become much more well-behaved since entering the castle, as if he was not the one who kicked the door and beat people in front of Klar.
At this moment, he stood up straight with an extremely serious expression. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a knight of justice walking out of a biography.
Count Daniel seemed to have long been accustomed to his unreliable son. He did not ask too many questions, but instead focused his attention on Krober.
"It's an honor to meet you, Honorable Count Daniel. I am Krober Golden Rose, the son of Lilith Golden Rose. I beg you to allow me to express my most sincere, profound, and lofty respects to you!"
His eyes were firm and his voice was deep and magnetic.
He bowed slightly, his movements elegant and solemn, revealing a noble and humble temperament.
The whole scene was solemn, but at the same time exuded a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Impeccable etiquette and sincere words and actions. Regardless of whether Krober was sincere or not, after this self-introduction, at least Count Daniel had a very good impression of him.
He nodded slightly.
"Krober, there's no need to be so polite, just call me grandpa.
Your mother, Lilith, is my most beloved daughter, and you will naturally be my most beloved grandson."
Count Daniel's expression was not very good when he mentioned Lilith, which meant that Baron Adam had already reported the news he heard in Moonlight Castle in full.
Krober was relieved when he heard this. At least Earl Daniel's attitude towards him was still very good. He did not hate him or treat him coldly because of other factors.
At Count Daniel's suggestion, Krober and Baron Adam sat together on the sofa in the study.
Count Daniel took out the letter he had just read and gave it to Adam and Krober to read.
Baron Adam took the letter curiously in his hand, and after reading it for a while, he frowned like Earl Daniel just now.
After seeing the same expression on the faces of the two men, Krober became curious and quickly leaned over to look at the letter in Baron Adam's hand.
The letter didn't have many words, but it was the signature at the end that caught Kroeber's attention.
St. King's Castle.
"Is this a letter from the capital? Could it be that the Grand Duke has issued some new orders?"
Kroeber pondered in his mind, and gradually imagined a bloody political struggle.
Baron Adam, who was standing by, did not notice anything unusual about his nephew. Seeing that he was curious about the contents of the letter, he handed the letter to him.
Kroeber took it quickly, picked up the letter carefully and began to read it.
"?"
The political content of this letter was completely opposite to what Krober had guessed. These few short lines were actually a "recruitment order" from the ruler of this country, the Golden Dragon Knight, the Golden Duke.
As the only dragon knight in the entire principality, the Golden Duke's status is naturally the most honorable.
As a subject of the Grand Duke, Daniel Golden Rose naturally obeyed the Grand Duke's orders to the end.
