I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

Accompanied by the sound of the piano, Bennett continued to move forward.

There has been no communication from the Archmage, which means they can still hold on.

Bennett thought about it and decided that maybe she shouldn't say she could hold on. After all, she had lived for a thousand years, and she was embarrassed to be defeated by someone who had controlled the natural disaster for less than two years.

The procession continued to move forward, and next came the center of the royal capital. The people here were all old ghosts at the center of power.

They looked at the emblem on Bennett's chest, and their eyes were slightly touched, as if it evoked some memories.

But soon they calmed down and saluted Bennett with their hands on their chests.

There was respect in their eyes, a kind of awe towards those in higher positions and flattery towards the powerful nobles.

Bennett responded one by one until he came before the Grand Duke of the North.

The Duke of the North sighed. The moment he saw Bennett's calm expression, he knew that his plan had failed.

However, he did not retreat. He did not arrange anyone to protect Aimee, but during this period of time, the supplies for the people of Razlan were provided by the North.

The servants who take care of Aimee are all prepared according to the highest standards of the castle.

He was not devoted to Aimee, but he also did not do anything to discourage her, and he did not feel any guilt towards Bennett.

When a Grand Duke meets a Grand Duke's representative, the Grand Duke of the North naturally does not need to perform formalities.

The Duke of the North nodded in greeting, and Bennett nodded in response, and the contact between the two ended there.

On the platform, Beth stood beside the king. She was now the head of the Knights of the Royal Capital Church and was responsible for the king's safety. This was very normal.

She stood on the platform and looked at Bennett with a complicated look in her eyes.

With Bennett's help, her investiture ceremony was quite lively, and she also covered up all the troubles caused by the Pope.

She had thought that Bennett's awarding ceremony would be more lively.

Unexpectedly, apart from the sound of the harp on the high tower that ruined the atmosphere, the only sound in the whole venue was the clanging of armors colliding.

She couldn't quite understand this atmosphere; it was too literary and not quite suitable for her.

But when she looked at the nobles below, although none of them said anything to Bennett, there was mostly no hostility in their eyes.

Seeing the respect revealed in those people's eyes, Beth didn't say anything.

Although she couldn't understand the current situation, since nothing bad had happened, Beth was not in a hurry to stand up for Bennett.

The convoy drove all the way to the center of the royal capital and stopped below the king's platform.

Bennett looked up at the king, touched his chest and bowed slightly. After saluting, he was about to step forward when suddenly a voice sounded in his ears.

"Bennett, I can't hold on any longer."

!

Bennett was shocked. What was going on?

"Hold on, Archmage, you have to hold on. If I retreat now, the entire investiture ceremony will be ruined."

"Don't talk nonsense, I want to quit, you can do whatever you want."

Bennett panicked, but soon calmed down.

He understood that if the great wizard really wanted to retreat, he would not be arguing with him like he was doing now.

He values ​​Aimee and Sera, but the Archmage has no feelings for them.

"Master, don't joke around. Just tell me what you want. I will definitely do it if I can.

This is a critical moment, I will be done soon, just hold on for a while, I will be there soon."

While responding to the great wizard in his heart, Bennett climbed up the platform and stood in front of the king.

The king held a long sword and placed his hands on his chest.

"Bennett Stark, who do you represent?"

"Aimee Stark, Lord of Iris."

The king nodded and shouted to the crowd below:

“Today, we gather here to witness a glorious and sacred moment.

I feel deeply honored to be the guardian of the empire.

Witnessing the emergence of a duke not only represents the emergence of a powerful person, but also represents that in the future of mankind, there is a new family who will shoulder the burden of protecting mankind throughout the long river of history.

Aimee Stark, you have made an indelible contribution to the development of the kingdom with your wisdom, courage and selflessness.

Every effort you make is like a bright star, lighting up the night sky of the kingdom; every contribution you make is like a solid cornerstone, consolidating the foundation of the kingdom.

……

Today, you have earned this honor with your actions, and you deserve to be remembered by the kingdom and celebrated in history."

The king raised the sword in his hand, placed it in front of Bennett, and said:

"Aimee Stark, I grant you the title of Duke. From now on, you are eligible to grant knighthood and to divide your own territory.

I hope the light of human glory will always shine around you."

Bennett took the sword with both hands, and the guard beside him held up a tray and presented the Duke's seal and the letter of grant of title.

Beth quickly took it over. Since Bennett had no guardian knight around, she did it herself.

The king looked at Beth meaningfully and said nothing, which was considered as his approval of this behavior.

The Pope's face below was dark.

The Duke of the North did not forget to tease the Pope:

"My daughter is mostly extroverted, so her elbows are bent outwards. That's normal, normal."

The Pope glared at the Archduke fiercely, and said with a sullen face:

"It's better than some people who think their own dogs are their masters."

The Duke of the North did not say anything else. Bennett and he had not had a quarrel just now. He knew that this matter was over.

It's a pity that the two families no longer have any relationship, but he did his best with a small investment to gain a big return.

Bennett took the sword with both hands, turned around to look at the nobles below, and the archmage in his ear was still talking nonstop.

He knew the situation was urgent, but there was no other way. It had come to the last step. He had to coax the archmage and ask her to stay calm. He would be there soon.

“With honor comes responsibility.

This is what the old lord often said.

Today, I am here to receive the honor on behalf of Aimee Stark.

There are a few words that were said by Aunt Aimee.

Razlan is the starting point of Iris and where Iris will continue to grow.

In the pursuit of glory, the Iris clan has never given up its responsibilities. Since the first Earl, Rod Stark, our clan has always been at the forefront of the Orc War.

Every generation after that will be rooted in his will.

We have to shoulder our responsibilities.”

Bennett put away his sword, put it across his waist, turned around and took the seal and the letter of appointment from Beth's hand, put the seal in his arms, and held the letter of appointment high.

The audience burst into applause.

The words of the great wizard rang in Bennett's ears again.

This time his tone was filled with anxiety and a hint of panic:

"Bennett, I really can't hold on any longer. Hurry up, the other side has blocked the space nearby, and I can't get out."
