Chapter 20: The Viscount
The weather wasn't great, and though it was still as blue as Calyi's eyes, it was hard for Kagocan to associate it with his favorite Calyi, because he was in a bad mood.
The bad mood made him feel bad at everything, and he felt as if God had played a joke on him, a very bad joke.
The great king's sudden promotion of his third-class knight to a second-class knight was naturally not a source of his bad mood, and he felt that this order was followed by a second order.
He still remembered the herald's unwavering tone just now.
"Your Excellency Wolf Kagokan, Third Rank Captain of Wolff, your excellent performance has made me King of the Seventh Kingdom of the Rhine, Rhine Audrey IX seem to have seen the birth of a glorious knight, the great god of war Campass once said, true warriors they dare to face any challenge, they are fearless, they are fearless, so invincible, your courage is like a warrior in the mouth of the god of war, for this reason, as a qualified monarch, I, Rhine Audrey IX, have decided to confer the title of knight of the second class on the fearless Lord Wolf Kagocan, with the title of viscount. ”
"At the same time, I have decided to entrust the Second Knight, Viscount Wolf Kagocan, with a great mission, the tenth prince of the kingdom, Rhine Rhine, that is, my son, who is about to go to the borders of the kingdom to guard the territory of the kingdom, and I hope that the Second Knight, Viscount Wolf Kagokan, will take over the post of guardian knight of my son Rhine Rhine. ”
"Rhine Audrey IX, the Seventh Kingdom of the Rhine. ”
Walking down the bluestone-paved streets, Wolf kept his head down, and from time to time someone nodded to him or greeted him.
On this street, as a once powerful third-class knight, Wolf Kagocan is very famous, unlike those nobles who only know pleasures, Kagocan comes from a down-and-out aristocratic family, except for the title of nobleman, his experience since childhood is no different from that of commoners, so after becoming a knight of the kingdom, he has always warned himself not to be proud, not to look down on commoners.
In the past, when he met these people who greeted him warmly, he would definitely smile modestly, or nod to the other party, or send the same greeting to the other party, but now his mood was extremely low, and he didn't say a word.
Ever since he received the order, he had been thinking about how to explain it all to his dear Kalyi, the king's order was given too suddenly, and the time was set.
Today, before noon today, His Royal Highness the Prince will set off from the royal city.
As the chief of the guardian knights of His Royal Highness the Prince, he needs to arrive at the city gate before noon with the hundred knights he belongs to.
Fortunately, it was still early in the afternoon, and he still had time to think at this time.
He could not resist the king's order, and since that day he had traveled with His Royal Highness the Prince, he knew that he had no good impression in the eyes of His Royal Highness.
He didn't know what would happen to him this time, but he could think that his future might be bleak from now on, and that he might be sent by His Royal Highness to some unknown and dangerous place and never return, or that he might become an unknown knight and be hidden by His Royal Highness the Prince.
Of course, as a glorious knight, as the god of war Kampas said, true warriors dare to face any challenge head-on, they are fearless, they are fearless, they are invincible.
As a knight, he was not lacking in courage, but what he lacked was an explanation to his dear Karyi.
Since he was a child, Kari has regarded him as a hero, as a target, and as a father who is not very qualified, Kagocan has always been proud of it, and every time he returns home, he will brag about what he has seen, and he enjoys Kari's adoring eyes.
It was as sweet as eating the Beye honey brewed by the bees of the Biye tribe, who were known for their hard work.
He was afraid of Kayi's disappointed eyes, he was worried that he was no longer a hero in Kayi's eyes, and as he got closer to home, Kagocan's steps were as heavy as iron juice.
He hesitated, hesitated, panicked.
He remembered Calyi's bright blue eyes, which always lit up with the kind of light that intoxicated him, and the untimely death of Calyi's mother made Calyi look like a wounded little animal.
She had few friends, and she would always immerse herself in the hides he had collected, a book she could read a dozen times, and Kagocan could swear that it was definitely not how appealing the contents were.
The production of the beast skin book is troublesome, even as a third-class knight captain, it is difficult for Kagocan to get a large number of books, she reads it over and over again, even if it may be a history of the continent that has been memorized backwards, she can always find that little bit of laughter in the boring and ordinary, and then she will laugh non-stop.
Every time he saw her smile, Kagocan would smile with it, he thought that such a day might be ordinary, but as long as he saw Calyi's smile, he would feel that such a day was even ordinary and happy.
But at noon this day, he will obey the orders of His Majesty the King, and henceforth follow His Royal Highness the weakest prince of the Rhine to the desolate realm where goblins are infested.
For the first time, he doubted his faith, did the true warriors that Lord Kampas had spoken of really exist?
He is not afraid of any challenge, why should he be afraid?
Haven't I reached the level of fearlessness that Lord Mars said?
The knight's faithful faith made it difficult for him to extricate himself, and home, getting closer and closer, his pace became slower and slower.
"Father, come back. Kagocan felt someone tug on his sleeve.
He looked over his head and looked at the big blue eyes, which were full of excitement, and Cali was clearly happy that he was home.
"Calyi, Jr., your father, Wolf Kagokan, has returned. He lowered his head and stroked Kayi's long cyan hair.
Looking at Kayi's squinting eyes like a cat, Kagocan suddenly seemed to wake up at this moment, what he wanted seemed to be very simple, just a smile from Calyi, and what Kayi wanted may be simpler than him, just a father who has been by his side for a long time.
Thinking of this, he said with a gentle smile on his face: "Beautiful Miss Calyi, your father has been given the title of Viscount of Second Class Knight by His Majesty the Great King of the Rhine, how about it?
He was accustomed to boasting, and he decided that this was the last time he would brag to his dear Kalyi, a decision that of course was helpless for him.
"Really, Father, you're amazing. As expected, Kayi's eyes lit up with adoration, her little face rose slightly, and her hands were clasped in front of her chest as if she had met a disciple of God: "That's a second-class knight, I really can't describe it, my God, my father actually became a second-class knight, and was given a viscount by His Majesty the King, which is even more powerful than a baron." ”
She was as excited as if she had been awarded the title of knight and baron by His Majesty the King, and happily circled around Kagocan.
Kagocan felt as if he had melted, and at this moment he seemed to have forgotten all his troubles, and he was in a happy mood, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Perhaps tomorrow I can consult with His Royal Highness the Prince, and as long as I am not allowed to leave my Kari, I think that His Royal Highness will accept the allegiance of a knight baron of the second rank, and even if the hundred knights are handed over to His Royal Highness, he will not be a problem, although it will be a great betrayal of His Majesty's trust.
