How to Live as a Wandering Knight
Chapter 66.1: ๐๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ (๐)It was embarrassing, but what was said couldnโt be taken back. Countess Abner was not generous enough to tolerate an interruption at this moment.
Under Countess Abner, there were knights eager for opportunities, and Gerdolf was just one of them.
Inno fidgeted nervously with his fingers, but Countess Abner scoffed inwardly.
โ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ข๐ด๐ด๐ฆ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ข๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ.โ
Everyone thought similarly upon seeing Inno and Gerdolf. They thought of a foolish son being looked after by his father. However, Countess Abnerโs thoughts were slightly different.
Inno was timid, greedy, and narrow-minded. He was not a knight fit for great responsibilities. Gerdolf seemed better by comparison.
On the surface, he might seem foolish, but his persistence and straightforwardness were virtues not easily found.
Seeing Gerdolf, it seemed likely he would follow a knight named Johan. Countess Abner decided to allow this generously. After all, she owed Johan.
โWith this victory, envoys are already arriving. Theyโre probably trying to align with us once the Emperor dies.โ
At Countess Abnerโs words, everyoneโs face lit up with smiles.A loser of the west and a great feudal lord.
This was the position the Abner family was aiming for.
โLetโs dedicate this victory to the gods. May the glory of the gods be eternal in our family.โ
โMay the glory of God be eternal to the family!โ
Countess Abner called out a few knights who had distinguished themselves and awarded them with prizes, and then dismissed the people. Now only Ulrike was left.
โYou worked hard.โ
โIt was just something that had to be done.โ
โNo need to be too humble. It was a great victory, even if the situation was favorable.โ
The countess had expected to capture the castle after a tedious siege, but the marquisโs intervention and defeat were all unexpected.
โIt would be better to rest until the daughter of the Jarpen family arrives. If the person to be married keeps running around, the Jarpen family will be uncomfortable.โ
โI will do that.โ
โYou can take your time finding a child. You can adopt a suitable man from our family or bring one from somewhere.โ
โI wonโt think about it for a while because my body is getting heavy.โ
โThatโs right. Youโre not the type to enjoy yourself by making lovers. Be sure to warn the daughter of the Jarpen family as well. It is free to enjoy, but if you give birth to a child outside, that child will not be able to enter the family.โ
โOf course I know that much, donโt I?โ
โKnowing and remembering are different. Youโll know when you get married too.โ
Ulrike was annoyed by Countess Abnerโs mocking words. What a way to talk like sheโs been married a few times.
โOnly the person who inherited the blood of the Abner family can continue the family name. Thatโs all you need to remember. Iโll congratulate you on your happy marriage in advance, as Iโll be busy in the future.โ
โThank you.โ
โAnd thank you for forgiving Stephen.โ
โI didnโt forgive him.โ
โThank you for not killing him. Iโm proud of you.โ
โ. . .Yes.โ
Ulrike nodded and stepped back outside.
Conversations with the Countess always evoked conflicting, complex emotions. As she cleared her head and stepped outside, she suddenly thought of Johan.
Could he be planning to explore the town right now?
๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ
โDo you think Iโm going to accept that proposal?โ
โIโm sorry. Iโm prepared to accept your refusal.โ
Upon hearing Johanโs words, Ulrike fell deep in thought. Surprisingly, she was not angry, even though she was on the verge of losing something of hers.
โWhy?โ
โWhat?โ
โOh, no. Sorry. I was just talking to myself.โ
Honestly, it was a situation Ulrike had to acknowledge as well.
Unless Johan was going to spend his life as a rural feudal lord, it was definitely better to receive the appointment from Duke Brduhe if he intended to keep fighting and moving forward.
It wasnโt a visible asset. However, it would prove to be immensely powerful in the fights and life ahead.
If he refused here, Johan would give up the fiefdom and leave.
In the end, there was only one decision to make.
Whether Ulrike would just let him go or do something believing in the distant future.
โ. . .Okay. Iโll arrange all the rights of Heincut and the neighboring town and give them to the duke.โ
โ?!?!โ
Johan was greatly surprised.
โ๐๐ข๐ด ๐๐ญ๐ณ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ด๐ต ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ?โ
โI might not be a feudal lord, but itโs practically the same. Heincut currently has no administrator, but if we send one from the neighboring town, it wonโt be much different. Is that okay?โ
โ. . . . . .โ
As Johan looked bewildered, Ulrike felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
โWhy?โ
โThank you.โ
โConsider this town a payment for your loyalty. You are an honorable knight, arenโt you?โ
โ. . . . . .โ
Johan might not have been particularly honorable, but he wasnโt tactless enough to say that now.
Johan nodded his head.
