"Then, sir, may I ask the final outcome of the case just now?"
After hesitating for a long time, Krober decided to ask Klar about the final outcome. If the situation was too serious, he would have to find a way to get his third sister out of Deepwater Territory.
As for the others, he didn't care. It was just that Christina had a good relationship with him and had cared about him when he was young. Kroeber naturally didn't want her to end up in a bad way.
"Oh, him, he'll be punished for the crimes of indiscretion before the Emperor and offending the Grand Duke. Leave it to Stephen; he'll handle the severity of the punishment."
That casual tone was as if he was not dealing with a noble, but an insignificant ant.
"Yes, sir."
Naturally, Krober doesn't need to deal with such matters. The Grand Duke has professionals around him who are specifically responsible for doing this dirty work.
He didn't care about Klar's punishment. As long as he could be sure that the crime would not affect his third sister Christina, he would agree with it wholeheartedly.
"Speaking of which, are you preparing to break through to become a Great Knight?"
As they walked, Veronica suddenly became concerned about Krober's cultivation.
Although puzzled, Krober answered obediently:
"Yes, sir, the fighting spirit has almost filled my entire body, and I am now preparing for a transformation of the fighting spirit."
Veronica nodded slowly after hearing this.
"I've seen the path of your Dou Qi. You should be cultivating your family's Golden Heart Secret Codex. That codex is a basic, intermediate Dou Qi codex. The bonuses are rather mediocre and not very suitable for you."
After criticizing the Golden Heart that Krober practiced, Veronica turned around and praised him a few words.
"However, the Heart of Gold is still a good foundation. The quality of the fighting spirit is still up to the passing standard. At the very least, it can allow you to use it to the Grand Knight realm, which is considered to be one of the better ones at the same level."
Krober was also confused by this sudden turn of events. He had no idea why his Grand Duke suddenly commented on the secret book of fighting spirit that he was practicing.
"As my messenger, you are currently too weak. These days, you should focus all your energy on breaking through to the Grand Knight realm. Once you have achieved this, return to fulfill your duties."
Grand Duchess Veronica instructed Krober.
For Veronica, the value of a formal knight is indeed relatively limited.
Although both the Grand Knight and the Official Knight are weaklings in Veronica's eyes, it is undeniable that the Grand Knight's strength far exceeds that of the Official Knight.
In this world, strength is like a highest-level pass that allows you to pass through countless doors to success and glory.
Having strong power means being able to obtain more benefits and interests.
Whether in battle or in social life, the strong always occupy a more advantageous position.
They can use their own strength to win respect, earn wealth, and obtain more resources to further improve their abilities.
The wealth gained can then be used to invest in one's own growth and development.
This virtuous cycle makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker, while also making class gaps more solid.
This is the nature of this world.
The nobles did their utmost to fight for various interests, with the sole purpose of increasing their personal or family power.
Because only with strong enough strength can one gain a firm foothold in a highly competitive environment, have a certain say, and even ensure the basic right to survive for oneself and family members.
"As you command, sir. I will work on breaking through the Great Knight as soon as I return. I will definitely not let you down!"
Along the way, Krober asked in detail a lot of knowledge about the transformation of fighting spirit and the subsequent training of the great knight, and Veronica taught all the knowledge to Krober without reservation.
In this way, the two finally slowly returned to the interior of the castle. At this time, the castle no longer had the lively scene of the celebration banquet.
Most of the nobles had already heard about the terrible events happening outside, especially Earl Stephen. When he learned that Klar dared to massacre free people in front of the Grand Duke, the anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable.
"Klar is such an idiot!"
"How did he manage to find the Archduke in such a huge Hildesburg Fortress and kill him right in front of him?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
"Look at Stephen's face, it's almost as black as the bottom of a pot!"
"He's really unlucky. He was having a great time at the banquet, but his own vassal killed someone outside in front of the Grand Duke."
Earl Stephen sat in his seat, hearing the mocking or disdainful comments coming from the nobles around him. He almost lost control of the strength of his right hand holding the cup and crushed it into powder.
At this time, a sharp-eyed noble said:
"It seems the Grand Duke has returned!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the nobles present stood up and looked towards the door. Some of the quick-witted ones even ran directly to the door, intending to be the first to greet the Grand Duke and make their presence felt.
With these people setting an example, others followed suit and ran to the door to welcome the Grand Duke, blocking the door tightly.
Those who went to greet them at the door were just minor nobles. The marquises and earls still sat in their seats like old monks, but they put down their cutlery and stopped eating.
As the Grand Duke slowly approached, the nobles blocking the gate all retreated at the same time, as if an invisible force was pushing them, automatically making way for a wide path.
