The Savior of the Villainess in a Romance Novel

36. become a noble

During a meal with my family after a long time, a voice rang out from the yard.

-Hound Agil, answer the call of the imperial family!

Rossel asked me, startled.

“What happened? What did you do wrong?”

“It must be called to the imperial palace for subjugation of demons and receive a prize.”

Fenrir was unexpectedly calm. I thought you would make a fuss more than anyone else.

“I don’t think it’s time to come yet, but it seems to be sooner than planned. I’ll just get up.”

“If you are in the imperial family, you must be careful?”

“If it’s the Hound, you don’t have to worry. I’ve heard from people I know, and he’s become a very famous person.”

“You worry!”

“Kuhm… .”

It kind of reminds me of a sitcom. A hearty laugh came out naturally in a friendly atmosphere.

“Perhaps when he comes, he will come not as a hound egg, but as a hound egg talker.”

“Are you thinking of getting a title?”

“sure. I subdued the demons, but I have to take that much.”

“The road to success has opened, my son! I am proud of my son!”

“It’s okay to see you off, so have a meal. I’ll be back soon.”

I got up and went out the door. In front of the house, there was a pattern of a golden lion symbolizing the imperial family.

“Is it Hound Eggil? Get in the carriage.”

“Yes, let’s go right now.”

Now that I see it, there are even escort knights. I opened the carriage window and asked the escort driver.

“How long will it take to arrive?”

“It won’t take a day. Because we move without rest.”

After all, it is on a different level from a normal wagon. I thought it would take a day. By the way, these fluffy chairs and cozy interior. It is like an imperial carriage.

When I opened the window to get some fresh air, the eyes of the villagers were focused on the carriage.

-Did even someone from the imperial family visit our village?

– Didn’t the lord say anything in particular?

-Isn’t that house Fenrir’s house? what happened… .

Anxiety-filled gaze of the townsfolk. Don’t worry. It’s because I’m going to the imperial family to get a government post because the path to success is open.

It wasn’t long after he returned to his hometown, but he immediately returned to the ecliptic. Rather, the air here felt more familiar and comfortable to me.

“Hound Eggil? get down arrival.”

When we got off the wagon, uniformed knights stood in line holding each other.

‘Wow, even if it’s violent, it welcomes you so fiercely.’

It deserves it. The academy’s best prospect subdued Mine, but I have to do something like this. I entered the imperial palace with my head stiffly held up accordingly.

“Are you Hound Egil? I am the Imperial Chancellor, Eric Warenberg.”

“you’re right. It is an honor to meet the Grand Chancellor of the Empire.”

A formal greeting, a humble attitude that does not disregard commoners. You can feel the depth of learning. I like this person… !

“My guidance will lead you to the throne room. Do you know the imperial etiquette?”

“I know how to greet knights, but… .”

“That was enough. Even His Majesty the Emperor will forgive you generously.”

Would a nobleman called the emperor be furious with a commoner for making a mistake in his greetings? Well, the Grand Chancellor is also informing you in case of an unexpected event.

I walked around the imperial palace following the guidance of the Grand Chancellor. Golden lions and red carpets studded everywhere, numerous noble servants, and even great nobles. It’s not the imperial palace for nothing.

“Im here.”

The door to the audience room with a magnificent lion pattern on it. The expressions of the knights guarding this place were stiff, and there was no change in their expressions. this is a knight

“your majesty! Arch Chancellor Eric Warenberg has brought Hound Agil.”

“Stop by.”

Knights on both sides opened the door to the audience room.

The emperor sitting on the throne was a middle-aged man, looking quite old. I thought the age of the emperor was also young because the prince was young. There were aristocrats, great aristocrats of the imperial faction, who were marching on either side of it.

I went to the throne and got down on one knee.

“Meet the Sun of the Empire, His Majesty Henry Elowis.”

“Nice to meet you, Hound Agil. I highly appreciate your achievements in subjugating demons, and I personally sent you an invitation to reward you.”

“It’s not enough that His Majesty sent an invitation, and even gave out a reward. It’s just mind-boggling.”

The Emperor smiled happily and asked me.

“Yes, I already know that you want a title of nobility. However, this is just a request from other nobles, is there anything else you want? I can give you gold and silver treasures.”

Gold and silver treasure, am I getting rich? However, it would be better to go low-key here. My purpose isn’t money, it’s fame.

“I have no greed at all for things like goods. A knight only needs honor.”

After hearing my answer, the emperor smiled brightly and spoke to me.

“is it? Then what do you want? I’ll do anything that’s a legitimate request that I can do.”

“… I want a knight’s medal of honor.”

Knight’s Medal of Honor, the highest medal that only knights who prevented pollution can receive. Even with this, commoners are treated like nobles.

“A knight’s medal of honor. Yes, I will personally give you a medal.”

The surrounding nobles protested against the emperor’s decision.

“Your Majesty, I am very happy to inform you, but it is a medal of honor when you are given a noble title! Wouldn’t the Ohhun Cross be enough!”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Wasn’t the Medal of Honor awarded only to swordsmen!”

It seems that the opposition of the great nobility was severe. It’s better not to step out recklessly. I bowed my head and remained silent.

“Are you protesting against my decision? The author is a person with the qualities of a swordsman who reached six stars at a young age. Since one academy student subdued the Mine, there is nothing more to say. Besides, he is the best prospect of Estrada Academy, and he should have received a medal someday.”

“But, Your Majesty… !”

“Uh-huh, don’t hurt my mouth any more.”

At the words of the emperor, the nobles fell silent. This kind of dignity is scary… . I was also slightly trembling.

“Yes, Hound Agil. I will give you the noble title of Viscount and at the same time give you the Knight’s Medal of Honor. I cannot give you your land, but I will give you the castle myself.”

“Congratulations, Your Majesty.”

“hmm… . let’s see, yeah Your name is Hound Egil Johannes from now on. I wish you well in the future, Viscount Johannes.”

“It’s disconcerting. your majesty!”

“Yes, I am so excited about your future that I cannot sleep. I look forward to your future performance. Viscount Johannes, who has the qualities of a swordsman.”

“I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty’s expectations.”

The Grand Chancellor put a knight’s medal of honor on one side of my chest. This earned me the Knight’s Medal of Honor, and the name and title of Viscount Johannes. I want to laugh heartily right now… . If I did that in the audience room, it would be a problem.

Anyway, Johannes. It’s kind of cool, but also kind of weird. Maybe it’s Hound Johannes, maybe it’s because his name is Hound Egil.

‘The problem was that Hound and Agil merged to form Hound Agil because my parents fought over my name.’

When I left the audience room under the guidance of the Grand Chancellor, Line greeted me.

“How are you? What happened to Hound Eggil?”

“I received the Medal of Honor and the Viscount. His Majesty handed down the castle himself. Hound Egil Johannes became Viscount.”

“The name is kind of long and strange… . well, how is it Please take care of me, Viscount?”

Rene held out his hand.

“It feels strange to be called Viscount by the princess.”

“hehehe, you should get used to it now.”

“By the way, I guess you had something to do at the imperial palace?”

“Yeah, it’s about the breakup. It’s not over yet.”

Was the divorce-related process this long? Was the reason why the crown prince didn’t come during the Mine incident because of the divorce procedure?

“Are the divorce proceedings going well?”

“of course. Although there are many things to deal with, they are often called. now i have to go It’s a pity that our meeting was short.”

“I’m sorry too. There are two months left until the academy starts.”

“I don’t think I will see you often from now on. I’m busy with alchemy. The ducal family will send an invitation sometime, so come visit often.”

“I will be waiting for you, Princess.”

At the end of this conversation, Line moved on.

‘Shall we go back soon?’

When I left the palace under the guidance of the knights, Dukes Adelian, Estupina, and Arcadia were waiting for me.

“That’s Hound Eggil!”

“Now I am Viscount Egyl Johannes the Hound.”

Duke Edelian narrowed his eyes when he saw the medal hanging on my chest.

“Did you receive a medal of honor following the title of nobility…? .”

When Duke Edelian was in trouble, Duke Estupina grabbed my hand.

“Sir Johannes, would you please come as our family’s exclusive knight? You seemed pretty close with my girlfriend. I’m thinking of connecting the two.”

“Are you going to strike first! Sir Johannes, there is a second princess of the Edelian family. Please, to the Duke of Edelian… .”

“Sir Johannes, Arcadia needs knights like you. With my girlfriend if need be… .”

“Ugh! Isn’t Arcadia famous for magic? Why do you need an article?”

The dukes don’t know how to be ashamed and are fighting like sh*t. The fight between politicians you see on the news, is that it?

Since I reached the level of 6 stars at a young age and even subdued demons, there is nothing I can’t understand. It must have been that he wanted to include a competent knight in his family.

“I really appreciate your offer, but I want to focus on my growth now.”

“If that’s the case, leave it to us! Of course you know that the Duke of Edelian is famous for swordsmanship, right?”

“Hey, there’s been a rumor lately that you’re aiming for a magic swordsman, but the Duke of Arcadia will fully support you. How!”

“The Estupina Duchy will provide elixirs and elixirs to boost your body’s energy free of charge!”

“… … .”

The obsession of dukes is severe. To the point where it becomes uncomfortable because it is burdensome. I smiled shyly and bowed my back. I wanted to get out of this place quickly.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can get any offers. I am a knight under the direct command of the Marquis Merian.”

then,

“You spoke well. father. Did you hear?”

Mikaris and Marquis Merian appeared.

“Right. Our Mikaris snatched a very proper friend. Very well done, Mikaris.”

“… … .”

Marquis Deanwright Merian, I don’t like that man. Because he raised Mikaris as a puppet before, and committed an act close to domestic violence.

Noticing that I didn’t look good, Mikaris pulled my wrist.

“Let’s go back?”

“Yes, lady.”

He was led by Mikaris’ hand and boarded the wagon of the Marquis family. The Marquis seems to have boarded another wagon. I guess he wants things to go well with my girlfriend.

“I kept my promise.”

“sure. I do not make promises I cannot keep.”

“Now the official engagement will proceed. You belong to me forever.”

“He’s a popular guy… .”

“… what does it mean?”

I felt chills at Mikaris’ cold voice. A cool sensation wrapped around the nape of his neck and spread to his shoulders.

I threw it once, but I’ll never do it again.

“It means nothing. It was an acknowledgment of Mika’s ability to capture a popular guy.”

“Well, that’s how it should be.”

With Mikaris’ happy smile. I headed for my hometown. In order to formally proceed with the engagement… .

‘I ended up being dependent…’
