A week later, Kroeber, looking pale, slowly walked out of the room.
A tragic victory!
These four words are absolutely appropriate for him.
He won, that was the outcome of the battle.
Veronica was lying on the bed, soundly asleep, but he forced himself to get up and go to the Noble Council to renew his strength.
As for the title of nobility, the current area of Krober's territory is not enough to support his promotion to marquis.
Of course, if the sea area is taken into account, it is definitely enough.
But unfortunately, according to the laws of the Golden Duchy, the sea area is not included in the assessment scope.
The last time Marquis Daniel was promoted to a noble title, it was because of the land granted to him by Veronica that he was able to join the marquisate.
However, thinking of Veronica's evaluation of the three major systems he had established, Krober's heart sank slightly.
"The three major systems? Just a child's play."
"Remember, Krober, only the weak will go to great lengths to maintain power. The strong only need to sit on the throne, and others will take the initiative to maintain the rule on their behalf."
Kroeber had to admit that there was some truth to what Veronica said.
My life seems to have been too smooth since I became an adult, so much so that I have lost the mentality of a strong person.
Being suspicious means that he is insecure and is a sign of lack of self-confidence.
This defect had not been very obvious before, but it has become more serious since Krober became the Baron of Black Feather Island.
Kroeber found that there was indeed something wrong with this matter.
But changing one's mind every day is definitely not a quality a ruler should have.
The three major systems may not really be very suitable, but there is no big problem in itself. Let this system stay in the Amethyst Islands and shine.
Parliament of Nobles.
After briefly demonstrating his strength as a Sky Knight, the strength of Krober and the Amethyst Rose Family was also updated.
However, considering the current size of Krober's territory, he cannot be promoted to marquis.
The laws of the seven kingdoms and various duchies clearly stipulate that the area of a noble's territory, excluding inland lakes, only includes the area of land, and the area of sea area is not included in the estimation of the title.
Otherwise, with the current sea area of Krobe, it would probably be half the size of the Golden Duchy.
"Let's go Griffin, we still have a mission to do next."
Although he wanted to stay in Saint Gold Castle with his wife, Krober also knew that the more important thing for him at the moment was to make himself and his territory stronger.
Next destination, Huaguan City.
In terms of straight-line distance, the journey between Flower Crown City and Saint Gold Castle is not very long, and the two places are only separated by the Frostwolf Marquisate.
In addition, Griffin's flying speed is getting faster and faster. What originally took a day or two on horseback will only take a few hours when riding a Griffin.
I remember when I lived in Huaguan City, I felt a sense of warmth that I hadn't experienced in a long time.
Without any hesitation, Krober rode Griffin and set off on the journey to Flower Crown City.
In the evening, the sun gradually set and the sky was dyed orange-red.
Kroeber rode Griffin and soared in the air, feeling the coolness and freedom of the breeze.
When he saw Huaguan City in the distance, his heart was filled with joy and anticipation.
As time went by, he finally arrived at his destination - Huaguan City.
He piloted Griffin down slowly. As soon as his feet touched the ground, a familiar breath hit him in the face.
He knew that it was the unique scent of the Golden Rose family and the smell of his home.
Leo, who lived here with Marquis Daniel, naturally felt the breath of his own bloodline descendants.
As a powerful adult male griffin, it has keen perception and can easily detect all changes in its surroundings.
The moment Krober rode Griffin into the sky above the castle, Leo immediately realized his arrival and informed Marquis Daniel of the news through a mental contract.
After hearing Leo's report, Marquis Daniel showed a relieved smile.
He had already guessed who had returned home, because apart from his most beloved grandson, Krober, no one else could make Leo sense the breath of his bloodline heir.
Marquis Daniel thought:
"This little bastard finally remembered to come and see his grandpa!"
Ever since they conquered Amethyst Island together, Marquis Daniel hasn't had a single conversation with his grandson.
His grandson changes almost every day.
The last time they met, he was still a baron. But after he participated in a war and came back, his grandson became the Prime Minister and also had the title of earl.
Even in his dreams, he wouldn't dare to be so outrageous.
But Kroeber actually did it.
"You still remember to come back? How many nights have you stayed in that room?"
Seeing Krober walking into the hall in the afterglow of the setting sun, Marquis Daniel's heart was filled with pride and honor.
But as an elder, he always wanted his outstanding grandson to spend more time with him.
Maybe he is really old.
"You've really changed a lot. Before, you looked a lot like Lilith.
But now, you have grown into a man."
Krober and Marquis Daniel hugged each other deeply.
"I'm busy."
Kroeber defended himself.
"That's why I've handed most of the territory affairs to Haier. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the time to make this trip."
Kroeber enjoyed the warmth that this family love brought him, a feeling he had rarely experienced since coming into this world.
"Come on, I've asked the kitchen to prepare food to welcome the Earl of Amethyst Islands. Let's start the feast!"
The so-called banquet carnival is actually a drinking and dancing competition, which is an old tradition of the Golden Rose family.
When Krober first came here, he was shocked by their drunken dancing.
Marquis Daniel also expressed it very clearly.
There was no business tonight. Clober attended the banquet as the Earl of the Amethyst Islands, but in fact the banquet itself was prepared according to the standards of an internal banquet of the Golden Rose Family.
Otherwise, he had never heard of anyone participating in the Golden Rose Family's banquet carnival as an outsider.
"Come on, Grandfather. I'm a guest this time. You can't force me to drink like you did last time! That's not fair!"
"good!"
Marquis Daniel cheered loudly, motioning to the servant beside him and saying:
“Tell those guys that whatever happens today has to be pushed to me.
Krobe is back, and he told them all to dress up and come to the banquet properly."
