Chapter 42 Do I also have a title?

"You are too arrogant!" Kaierman's face turned pale.

"That's not right. You were the ones who asked me for things from the beginning to the end. I just disagreed. Why are you so arrogant?"

Raven sneered, stood up and left.

"Farewell!"

"Boy, you will regret your decision today!"

Regret it! Raven curled his lips.

At the Duke's Mansion, Adam gritted his teeth and said:

"Onivia, you are kidding!
How could I possibly have the title to give to Raven? That is a title only His Majesty has the right to give!"

The person who spoke was Adam, the son of Duke Lennon.

He was extremely depressed.

His sister had been pestering him for the title these past few days, and the person she wanted to award it to was actually Raven.

That trash!

The word has already spread outside that this guy has double ether talents but is actually a useless piece of trash.

How could Adam give him the precious title?
"Stop lying to me. Only ranks above baron need to be granted by His Majesty. If it were just lord, you could do it." Onivia sneered.

She came today to ask for the title for Raven.

Why does Rody have a title but Raven doesn't?

"Can you tell me why you insist on giving that loser the title?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me whether you have it or not?" Onivia said in a firm tone.

Her two amazingly long legs were crossed and placed on the table, swinging back and forth.

"Have you ever thought about why His Majesty only gave the title to Rody but not to Raven?
Because I don’t think highly of him at all!

Is your vision comparable to His Majesty's?
To put it another way, if His Majesty gave it to me even though he didn't intend to give it to me, what would he think?
Is Lennon going to offend His Majesty?"

Adam spread his hands and explained patiently. He was somewhat helpless with this strong sister.

Thinking that he had a stronger sister, he felt even more confused.

"Then let me tell you, the cost of winning over Raven now is the lowest, and there is only one chance, so don't let me down."

"Haha, to win over? A waste?"

"Brother, you disappoint me. Father is away at war and you are asked to take care of the territory. You should pay more attention to other things."

"Okay, give me a reason."

"He's going to be great, that's my reasoning."

"Just this?" Adam was angry.

“That’s it, lordships, you always have a few of them.

But there is only one Riven, and he's worth your gamble.

It doesn’t matter if I lose.

If you win, everyone will look at you with new eyes.”

This sentence touched Adam.

What he wanted to prove most was that he could be a qualified heir.

Adam gritted his teeth at the thought and said, "I'll trust you this time and make him a lord!"

"Father will be proud of you." Onivia smiled brightly.

"Don't be so pretentious. I was the one who paid for Kristine's dinner last time. Give it back to me!"

"Ah...what money? You need money to treat a lady to a meal. Are you a man?"

"You invited Christine to dinner, and you asked me to go just to accompany you. What does it have to do with me?"

"But I forgot to bring money! What a stingy person! I'll talk about it next time." Onivia quickly got up and left.

"One thousand gold coins? How can I be generous? How can you guys eat so much?" Adam was angry.

Bang! The door closed.

Early in the morning, Raven arrived at the White Tower and was called by Master Goethe as soon as he entered the classroom.

As soon as he entered the room, he found Onivia there, along with another young man.

"Raven, there's no need for me to introduce Onivia. This is Count Adam, the son of Grand Duke Lennon." Goethe said with a smile.

"Hello, Your Excellency."

Raven nodded to Onivia first, then bowed to Adam.

"I've heard of your name a long time ago. I'm glad to meet you."

Adam held out his hand.

The two men shook hands, and each other's hands were very strong.

"I wonder what you want from me?"

"It's like this, my brother wants to confer a title on you." Onivia stood up and said with a smile.

"Knighted?" Now it was Raven's turn to be surprised. "Give it to me?"

"Yes, my sister always praises you at home, and I trust her judgment, so I came here."

Adam's smile was so warm and refreshing, and there was no sense that he had been strongly opposed to it just a day ago.

"Brother, who always says he's good?" Onivia blushed and spat:
"I just think that with Raven's ability, he should get the same title as Rody. Your Majesty is too partial to one."

"Thank you, Miss." Raven smiled in return.

He had a very good impression of Onivia.

"Shouldn't you thank me?" Adam said, looking at Raven resentfully.

"Uh, well... naturally."

"Haha, just kidding, let's make friends."

Adam gave Raven a big hug.

Raven's favorability towards Adam increased significantly.

As a person, he is much better than that guy Oaken.

"Is your mother feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern. He is out of danger, but he hasn't woken up yet."

"Oh, I hope my aunt can recover soon."

Adam looked worried, as if it was his own mother who was sick.

"Brother, if there is anything you need me to do in the future, just tell me and I will do my best to help you."

"Thank you very much." Raven felt that Adam was too enthusiastic. It seemed that they were not familiar with each other.

But it must be said that these nobles are indeed good at socializing.

“Oh, right, this is the knighthood certificate and the map.

As for the title, it is Lord for now.

You also know that I am only acting as the director on behalf of my father, and my power is limited. Lordship is the best I can do. I will find a chance to help you in the future."

"I am truly flattered, Your Excellency." Raven quickly said politely.

"Hey, brother, there are three fiefs on this map, you choose one."

Raven looked and saw that the three fiefs were one large and two small.

The smaller one is located near Balarunka, the larger one is closer to the border.

In terms of safety, smaller is naturally better, but larger ones have more resources.

But Raven smiled and shook his head: "It's up to you, Your Excellency."

"Ai, we are one family and we don't have to have different opinions. Come here."

Raven was so moved that he almost cried. This guy is such a good person.

Even though I know that the other party is trying to win me over, the more such tricks the better.

"You choose. My brother is a stingy person, but he is always generous to his friends." Onivia said with a smile.

Adam looked resentful:
"Look, you've already started helping outsiders. Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up...ah, why are you pinching me!"

"You want to die!
"Raven, ignore him, I'll introduce these three territories to you." The girl said angrily.

“The two small territories are Ralph Territory and Lino Territory.

Their advantages are that they are close to Balarunca and have convenient transportation, but their disadvantages are that they have a small population and few mineral resources.

The largest territory was called Lentini.

It has a much larger area and mineral resources, but its disadvantage is that it is close to the border and is much more dangerous.”

Raven thought for a moment and pointed at Lentini:
"I wonder if the lord of Lentini died of illness. Why is there so little time left?"

"He just died in battle last month."

"Uh……"

"So I advise you to think about it carefully."

"Then choose this one." Raven pointed at Lentini and said.

"Why?" Adam wondered, "I want to be your brother for a while longer."

Raven didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's nothing, I have a grudge against the Saint Alliance."

"this one?"

“Yes, because of the Saint Alliance, my mother is still seriously injured and unconscious, and my brother has lost his memory.

I am a petty person, and I must avenge myself that night."
