Chapter 48
Richard returned to the banquet venue.

He was called by the servant of King Harolds. The white-faced and beardless servant found the garden faithfully and informed Richard of His Majesty's will. Rewards for Bundak, Richard, and a few others who did well in the war.

Richard didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed the valet back to the venue. When he entered the venue, King Harlaus just announced the promotion of a knight to the baron. If I remember correctly, the knight followed Bundak in the battle Charge in the front line, heroic.

Jill Joyce, that was the name of the knight, and Richard had come forward through the throng just in time to hear him say his name at the oath.When passing through the crowd, he also saw Sophia who left from the garden. She no longer had the anger she had before, and her expression was calm, as if nothing had happened.

After Jill, who had been sworn in as a baron, stepped down, King Harolds called out Richard's name. Richard was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that he walked slowly onto the stage with his entourage, and stood beside Harolds. The position of the first few steps is half kneeling on the ground.

"Richard Stuart, my good grandson, the newly promoted Earl of Cuban of the Kingdom, he performed very well in this war." King Harolds said with a smile, looking at Richard De's eyes are full of doting and pride, "You may have heard that not long ago, the Moor pirate group defeated by the Royal Navy made a comeback, intending to further offend the Kingdom's territory after capturing Cuban Island, but they are attacking The Battle of Kuban Island was defeated by Richard, and all the pirates died on Kuban Island together with the leader."

Listening to King Harolds' words, everyone whispered, most of them praised and marveled at Richard.

When everyone gradually calmed down, King Harolds continued: "This time, he led his cavalry into the camp of the Ramirez army, set fire to the enemy's food and grass, forced the Ramirez people to retreat early, and was finally intercepted by our army." In the Plain of Xinran. And at the critical moment of the decisive battle, he led a small number of guards to charge the enemy's flank, and finally disintegrated the enemy's front line."

"Several combat exploits have proved Richard's ability, and his ability can even be compared with his father 'Stronger' Alfonso. Here, I will first give him the title of 'Striker'."

"Richard the Slugger?"

Everyone was discussing again, discussing this new title. In the end, the voice of discussion was gradually replaced by another voice. First, a few people shouted this title and Richard's name, and finally infected almost everyone.

Richard the Striker is on everyone's lips!

"Besides a title that is almost useless, I still have rewards for Richard." After the venue became quiet again, King Harolds continued, "Richard's military exploits are enough for him to obtain another fief, So I decided to give him the newly occupied city of Luwen together with the surrounding lands."

"hiss--"

Not only the nobles below did not expect it, Richard also did not expect it. In his prediction, it was already very rare for him to become the lord of an island at the age of 15. How could he become another in a few months? A kind of lord of the city?

And now, it has come true.

One more city means that his power will increase by one point, and the day when he will counterattack Winster will be one day closer.

Resisting the excitement in his heart, Richard took a deep breath, and said in a slow but firm tone: "Your Majesty, I would like to be your sword to fight for you, be your shield to guard your territory, and be loyal to You, never betray."

"I will remember your oath." King Harolds had a gratified smile on his face. He stepped forward to help Richard, let the latter stand with him, and then said loudly: "Let us fight for the kingdom together." Hail Richard, Earl of Louven!"

……

Richard didn't know how he answered the room. He only knew that he drank so much yesterday that he had to be helped to move in the end.

Lying on the soft and comfortable big bed, feeling the warm sunlight falling on him through the window, Richard rubbed his aching temples and slowly got up.

Although he was not allowed to drink alcohol as a minor, but in yesterday's environment, this rule was ignored by everyone, so that Richard drank directly.Regardless of whether it was in the previous life or in this life, Richard was not good at drinking alcohol. He should be thankful that the alcohol content in this era is not high, otherwise it would be more than just a slight headache.

At this moment, the door was knocked suddenly, Richard's body shook, and before he stepped on the thick carpet, the door opened by itself. He took a closer look, and it turned out to be King Harolds one of his valets.

"What's the matter?" Richard asked.

"Your Highness Richard, by order of His Majesty the King, I bring you the newly made seal of the Earl of Luwenling." The servant said respectfully, and gently placed the tray in his hand on a table in the room, and then Then he said: "Breakfast is ready, Your Highness Richard, you can eat it at any time."

"Yeah." Richard nodded, and then suddenly asked: "Do you have any documents about Luwen City?"

"I don't have a lowly position." The valet simply shook his head, "But His Majesty the King should have them. When the city of Luwen was captured, His Majesty obtained the documents from the Lord's Mansion of the city. You can ask His Majesty for it."

"Ok."

Richard thanked the valet with a smile. After he left, Richard changed his clothes and walked out of the room. After breakfast in the dining room, he went directly to King Harolds.

Before going to Leuwen City, Richard must first understand the city. He ruled the city as a foreign lord who was entrusted by the conqueror. Terrible riots may break out in his domain.

After a while of busy work, Richard managed to get the document in Leuwen City and started to read it.

According to the documents of Luwen City, the resident population of Luwen City is about 500 people, and most of them are Ramirez natives. Among them, there are a small number of Ravana immigrants. The objects of their beliefs are the same as those of the neighboring country Ravana. It is a phantom deer, and its specialty is tough and elastic ash wood.

The resident population is only more than 3000, which made Richard very angry. You must know that Nuremberg, which is still a town in the system rating, already has more than 4000 and [-] residents!
