From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

At this time, there were not many people in the hall. In addition to some servants who were sweeping the floor, there were Earl Daniel sitting in the main seat and a few members of the Golden Rose clan.

Most of the others were still asleep because of yesterday's banquet. Although Earl Daniel had sent people to wake them up, it would definitely take a long time to deal with the mess.

Earl Daniel looked at Krober, who had obviously just returned from training, and nodded with satisfaction.

He was talented and hardworking, and was a good seedling.

With the support of the family's resources, if nothing unexpected happened, the Golden Rose family would soon have an Earth Knight, and the family's foundation would increase by one point.

In fact, the Golden Rose family paid great attention to the cultivation of offspring.

A normal earl's family must have at least five Earth Knights, while the Golden Rose family has twelve Earth Knights.

The willingness to spend money definitely accounted for most of the reasons.

Earl Daniel, the head of the Golden Rose clan, had just broken through the Sky Knight half a year ago and became a strong man with top-level fighting spirit.

This was a great event worth publicizing, but Earl Daniel did not intend to publicize it. Instead, he hid in the castle to consolidate his territory and wait for the opportunity.

Not long after, the Grand Duke's Western Expedition Order was placed on Earl Daniel's desk with the arrival of the raven.

Looking at the letter that could change the fate of the principality, Earl Daniel keenly felt...

The opportunity has come!

The territory of the Golden Rose Family was originally in the west of the kingdom. The other three directions were occupied by nobles, and only the Moyi Forest in the west has no owner.

If Earl Daniel wants to expand his territory to the size of a marquisate, then the only way in front of him is to expand westward.

The Moyi Forest is still extremely mysterious, and Earl Daniel has no confidence that he can open up a huge territory with the power of himself and his family.

So the appearance of the Western Expedition Order solved a big problem for Earl Daniel.

If he can't beat it himself, he can't beat the entire principality together, right?

At that time, I will follow the Grand Duke on the battlefield and fight hard. I will fight wherever the Grand Duke fights. Even if the war fails, the strength of the Moyi Forest will be weakened to a certain extent.

At that time, I will expand it myself. Not to mention expanding to the size of a marquisate, at least I can expand to the size of an earldom, right?

That's enough!

The problem now is how to retain strength in the war and show my presence in front of the Grand Duke and a group of nobles, showing that I and the entire family have contributed?

At present, Earl Daniel does not have a specific plan, but he still has some basic ideas. Let's see what the situation on the battlefield will be like.

After finishing his thoughts, Daniel looked at Krober, who was sitting below him and fighting against a piece of steak, and couldn't help sweating.

"Why is he so elegant at ordinary times, but like a hungry wolf when he eats?"

There is no way. Krober's etiquette and demeanor are very elegant and perfect, but I don't know if it's because he has been eating on the training ground since he was a child, Krober's eating style is not elegant at all.

However, good-looking people will not be disliked no matter what they do.

People who are familiar with Kroeber will have a better impression of him because of his eating habits.

Kroeber's usual elegance is like it is engraved in his bones, so perfect that he doesn't look like a normal person.

Only after he showed his slightly vulgar eating habits, everyone realized that the handsome young man in front of them was a flesh-and-blood existence, not a wooden man.

Count Daniel also thought so. When Kroeber first met him, he had an extremely elegant aristocratic image. Although it was indeed amazing, it was somewhat unreal. After all, he, the earl, was not so elegant. How could Kroeber be so outstanding at such a young age?

But now, after seeing Kroeber's eating habits, Count Daniel also smiled.

It can't be called vulgar, but it is too different from Kroeber's previous elegant personality.

After this little interesting episode, Count Daniel talked about business with Kroeber.

Krober had just swallowed a large piece of monster steak and was about to ask the servant to give him another portion when he heard the voice of Count Daniel.

"You should have seen the two servants I arranged for you? Their parents are merchants who are dependent on the family and are unlikely to rebel."

"These two people have good talents. They can practice to the level of intermediate knight servants at the age of 18. It is expected that they will break through to the level of formal knights before the age of 30. By then, it will be your own foundation."

After Count Daniel finished speaking, he looked at Krober's young appearance and walked closer to whisper a few words.

"If you encounter some accidents on the battlefield, let the two servants cover you and buy you time to retreat. There are many such servants in the family. A batch of them can be trained in a few years. Don't worry about them."

Krober listened to Count Daniel's instructions expressionlessly, and then watched Count Daniel go to the study.

"Got it...Grandpa."
