Arthur is proud to know Jimt and Carral.

But when he saw Jimt and Caral kneeling on one knee, he knew he was underestimating their pride.

No way! No way!

You two don't think I'm here for the two of you, do you?

And for the sake of the two of you, you have to go to great lengths to lay it out?

Arthur complained in his heart, but on the surface his eyes were calm.

It seems that everything was expected in advance.

And Jimt and Caral didn't see it exactly, but they could vaguely perceive it - facing Arthur from a high place, the two of them knelt on one knee, hung their heads, and put their right hands into fists in their hearts.

"I, Jimt. Novia, with the oath of 'its own name' and the glory of its own blood, to the person in front of him, Arthur. Credos swears that I will be loyal and fearless, and I will die in battle - glory is my life! ”

"I, Caral. Einhaas, with the 'Banner of Two Swords' as his oath and his own blood as his honor, to the person in front of him, Arthur. Credos swears that I will be loyal and fearless, and I will die in battle - glory is my life! ”

Compare it to Wiggins's nondescript 'lionheart'.

Gimt and Carral, who were born in the aristocracy, are extremely formal and complete.

Because—

The words of the oath were issued in the form of [Tufu Language].

Immediately, [spirituality] trembled.

The spiritual light representing the two appeared in front of Arthur.

Arthur didn't sit up straight.

"I'm looking forward to it!"

As the young 'psychic medium' said this, two long swords flew out of the [Athos Box] - during the previous battle of Moon Street, Arthur gathered a lot of weapons, and these two long swords were the best of them, just in time to deal with the situation in front of him.

The knight followed.

The sovereign rewarded him.

The contract is formed.

Unalterable principle.

Now that Jimt and Caral have taken the oath, he must respond.

The two long swords were a little on the shoulders of Jimt and Karar, and the hilts were reversed.

The moment the two noble children held the hilt of the sword, it represented that the spiritual light of the two of them merged into Arthur's body.

At this point, the rite is completed.

Jimt and Caral solemnly held the 'Ritual Sword'.

Although it is not a secret method item, the existence of the 'Ritual Sword' is, to a certain extent, far beyond ordinary secret magic items.

Because, this is the proof of the 'Lionheart'.

It's part of the ritual.

As you fight against the Lord, the greater the Lord's merits, the more feats the knight creates, and the 'Ritual Sword' will continue to be promoted, but it will only be effective against the 'Ritual Sword' that is not a secret artifact.

Therefore, when 'Lionheart', it is necessary to choose the best possible long sword that is not an arcane prop as the base material.

And the long sword in his hand is made of extremely good material, and it is obviously carefully selected.

Sure enough, it's for me!

Otherwise, why would such a good sword be prepared in advance! ’

Jimmt and Karaalziz thought.

Especially Caral, the young nobleman took off the mask of his arrogance and caress the sword in his hand with sincerity and fanatical gaze.

This was not a surprise to Jimter.

Because this is the blood of the Marquis of Einjas.

A 'ritual sword' that can grow is a rare treasure for the members of the Einjas family.

Not like him......

Even when he swore an oath, he could not use the 'name of the House of Novia', only his own name—although his aunt wouldn't mind, but his pride wouldn't.

He wants to establish meritorious deeds in 'his own name'.

Subconsciously, Jimt looked at Arthur.

Carral, who was a slow to react, immediately put away the 'salute sword' and bowed apologetically.

Arthur smiled and waved his hand.

He has always been tolerant of his own people.

However, there are some things that still have to be said-

"'Cat Pie. Black', welcome to join.

You will follow me as the 'Black Cats'. ”

Arthur's voice was indifferent, but it was like thunder in the ears of Jimt and Carral.

The two of them looked up in amazement and looked at the lord blankly.

Then there was a sudden and happy look on the faces of both of them.

Back then' cat pie. The battle of the Black', and the subsequent partition, the Marquis of West Berlin and the Marquis of Einjas did not participate in it.

It is precisely because of this that the lord will find them in the first place.

Otherwise, with the strength of the lord, they would have been killed long ago.

Of course, thankfully they agreed.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm really dead now.

Why did they choose to swear allegiance just now, wasn't it because they were worried that the sovereign would kill people and kill them?

Now it seems that I really made the right choice.

The sovereign turned out to be a contemporary 'black cat'!

It's useless to keep their hole cards!

Fortunately! Fortunately!

The two of them were glad in their hearts.

Then Jimtt thought of more.

If the sovereign is a contemporary 'black cat', then the sovereign's grandfather, the old Mr. Charlie...... Wait a minute! Old Mr. Charlie doesn't really like his aunt, does he?

Right!

Only if you really like your aunt, will you unload your duties as a 'black cat' and completely give up your glory.

Only this kind of sacrifice will make my aunt love to death, and she is waiting for this gentleman until now.

I see! ’

All along, Jimt didn't understand his aunt's love for that Mr. Charlie, and only now did he seem to understand something.

A man who sacrificed everything, and a woman who did everything to get more for this man......

If this is not love, what else can be called love?

In an instant, the anger and sorrow in Jimter's heart began to dissipate.

And Arthur, who had been paying attention to the expressions of the two, smiled slightly in his heart.

After the two swore allegiance, Arthur knew he had to make sense of their 'guesses' - which would be extremely difficult for the others.

But for Arthur, it's not too simple.

He has the most appropriate and reasonable 'identity' to appear in front of the two.

Contemporary 'Black Cat'!

You know, in the 'Cat Pie. In the fall of the Black, the Marquis of West Berlin and the Marquis of Einhaas are rare two families who are not involved.

So, it makes sense that he's here.

"You have a share of the fleet's revenues—the funds for the development of your own power, and likewise, as your reward.

If you provide ships to join the fleet, the percentage rises to 30%.

Sailors, captains, I will arrange the right people.

And you guys?

Let's strengthen our strength. ”

Arthur said lightly.

There is no negotiation, and the existence of the 'Lionheart Ceremony' has long been doomed to the inequality of dialogue between the two sides.

In this regard, Jimmt and Caral did not have any complaints.

In the hearts of the two, they originally thought that they had to invest in the fleet to get a share, but they didn't expect the lord to give a reward to Yicheng.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Jimt and Caral saluted again and thanked him.

This time, I thanked him more and more sincerely.

And that's what Arthur wants.

The 'Lionheart' ritual is reliable, but the binding of benefits is even more reliable.

Although there is the former, there is no need to worry about loyalty, but if you want to motivate yourself, the latter is the most important.

In fact, the next moment, Arthur saw the results.

I saw Jimt and Caral say in unison-

"My lord, I have a proposal!"
