Ryan looked up and saw a young noble glaring at him with hostility written all over his face.

He didn't seem to have provoked the other party, so why did this young nobleman harbor such great malice towards him?

Is it possible?
Ryan glanced at the somewhat embarrassed daughter of the Marquis and had a guess in his mind.

No way, he could come up with such a cliché plot? This idiot author is really not afraid of being scolded!

Ryan ignored this clown. It wasn't his face that was lost anyway, and there would be people who would be more anxious than him.

As expected, the Marquis's daughter in front of him immediately opened her mouth and scolded:

"Baron Grey, you are so rude, why don't you apologize to Baron Ryan!"

"But those untouchables are insulting the symbol of the Flame Lion family!" Gray argued.

"As a member of the Iron Guard family, I have sworn to protect the honor of the Flame Lion family. I cannot turn a blind eye to this!"

After these words were spoken, Freya's expression became even gloomier.

Gray's words seemed reasonable, but in fact they were making a mountain out of a molehill and putting her in a difficult position.

It was originally just a small matter, but in Gray's mouth it involved the glory of the Flame Lion family.

If it is not handled properly, it will not only cause Ryan's hostility, but may also affect the reputation of the Flame Lion family.

So Freya scolded again: "Shut up, you have no right to speak here!"

"That's right. I didn't know that I would have thought that Baron Grey was a messenger sent by His Majesty the King." The messenger next to him said sarcastically.

He was interrupted by Gray before he could finish his words, and naturally felt embarrassed.

Baron Ryan knows to give him face. Who are you to be so arrogant as to jump up and down here?

If Ryan took his anger out on him because of this incident and did something disrespectful to the royal family, wouldn't he be punished when he returned?

Thinking of this, the envoy's impression of Baron Grey dropped to the freezing point, and he snorted coldly and said:
"I have also heard of the reputation of the Flame Lion Family in the capital. It is said that the Lion King is good at controlling his subordinates, and the Flame Lion Knights obey orders."

"Now it seems that the rumors may be exaggerated."

Everyone present could understand the meaning of the messenger's words. He was simply mocking the Flame Lion Knight for being insubordinate and not listening to even the most basic orders.

Baron Grey was immediately anxious when he heard this: "What did you say! You actually..."

"Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will expel you from this team!"

"I will report the situation to my father when I return, and let him decide whether you can stay in the Flame Lion Knights!"

Freya's face was clouded with gloom, and she was obviously really angry.

However, in front of outsiders, she couldn't say much, and could only warn Baron Grey with a cold look.

Baron Grey was unwilling to accept this, but he still gritted his teeth and said:
"I understand. I have offended Baron Ryan. Please forgive me, Baron Ryan."

Ryan was too lazy to respond to the brainless baron, but looked at the king's envoy and the marquis's daughter in front of him.

"I suppose you are the messengers sent by His Majesty the King, and the apple of His Excellency the Marquis' eye."

"My name is Ryan, and I am the lord of Firefly Town. On behalf of the residents of Firefly Town, I welcome you."

As soon as he finished speaking, two female players came running over with flowers in their hands and presented them to Freya and the king's messenger.

Baron Grey wanted to say something when he saw this, but Freya glared at him and he had to shut his mouth in disappointment.

Freya took the flowers from the female players with a smile, and did not forget to say thank you to them.

I have to admit that Ryan did put a lot of thought into the welcome ceremony.

Moreover, this kind of welcome ceremony gives people a very good feeling, and their Yanshi family can also learn from it.

The only flaw is that the eyes of these two ladies are too fiery and what they say is a bit explicit.

"Wow, this noblewoman is so pretty!"

"Her skin is so white and tender, without even large pores!"

"Isn't it said that Western women have rough skin? How does she maintain it?"

"Are you stupid? Of course it's the modeler's fault!"

"Yes, yes, yes, thanks to the modeler, she will be my wife from now on!"

Although the two female players lowered their voices, Ryan and Freya, who were close by, still heard their conversation.

The corners of Ryan's mouth twitched slightly. After learning that there would be a flower-giving session at the welcome ceremony, he specifically asked about the candidates for flower delivery.

When he found out that the person who sent the flowers was a female player, he felt completely relieved.

There was no way. According to White, the daughter of the Marquis could not be described as stunningly beautiful, but she was definitely pretty.

Ryan was afraid that male players would be blinded by her beauty, so he chased them and called them wife when giving them flowers.

Who would have thought that female players would do this, and even be more open than male players!

No wonder people often say that when women become shy, men have nothing to do. If they have wives, they will really scream!

"Well, maybe they have never seen a beauty like you, so they subconsciously said something offensive. Please forgive me." Ryan said to Freya somewhat embarrassedly.

Freya chuckled when she heard this and said, "Is Baron Ryan praising me?"

"Of course, I don't think anyone can resist praising your beauty after seeing it." Ryan said generously.

There is no woman who doesn't like praise. No matter what the purpose of the Marquis's daughter's visit is, let's praise her first.

When Freya heard Ryan say this, her smile became even brighter.

It's not that she hasn't heard words of praise before, she's even tired of hearing them.

But the same words have different effects when spoken by different people.

As a rising star among the nobility, Ryan's praise naturally carries more weight than that of others.

"Baron Ryan, you are too kind. You are also very handsome." Freya said with a smile.

"Ahem, although I don't want to disturb your emotional exchange, I have a mission to accomplish. I need to announce the reward to Baron Ryan as soon as possible."

The messenger coughed twice and a teasing smile appeared on his face.

He finally understood why Marquis Cross sent his most beloved daughter out.

It turns out that the Lion King also wants to find a rich husband. Compared to other good-for-nothings, Ryan's title is just a little lower, but he has great potential.

If Ryan could be recruited into the Flame Lion Family, the Flame Lion Family would surely become more prosperous.

It seemed that he didn't have to worry about being humiliated anymore. As long as he announced the reward honestly and returned to the capital early, leaving the two of them with enough time to spend together, he might even be able to gain the friendship of the Flame Lion family.

So the messenger said intentionally or unintentionally: "Miss Freya is responsible for patrolling the town. You will have a long time to spend together in the future." "Before that, let me announce the reward for Baron Ryan."

After that, the messenger took out the king's edict, slowly unfolded it, and began to read out the reward for Ryan.

Ryan also cooperated by kneeling on one knee and listened carefully to what reward the new king gave him.

The result of the reward was just as he expected. His title was simply promoted to Viscount, confirming his right to rule over several towns including Ironthorn Town and Rose Town.

In this way, he no longer needed to use the excuse of taking charge of the towns, and could govern these towns openly.

Apart from the promotion of title, the remaining rewards were just some gold coins and props, which were better than nothing. Anyway, Ryan didn't expect His Majesty the King to give him a staff-tailed scaly dragon.

The only thing that surprised Ryan was that the king appointed him as a royal knight in the edict, granting him the power to suppress the rebellion.

Although the suffix of Royal Knights is "Knight", in fact their status is not low. Royal Knights is more like a title rather than a title.

Many great nobles have been canonized as royal knights, which represents the king's recognition of them.

If it was just an ordinary title, Ryan would think it was nothing, but the king also gave him the power to suppress rebellion, which was a bit interesting.

With this power, Ryan no longer has to worry about reasons when launching wars in the future. Suppressing rebellion is the best reason.

What? What if the other side doesn't rebel?
Are you kidding? Ryan is a royal knight appointed by the king. How could he wrongly accuse a good person? He will definitely find evidence of rebellion in the other party's territory.

"Tsk, was this conferring title an unintentional act by His Majesty the King, or was it intentional?"

"The four major families in the capital did not object to this appointment. It seems that they all hope that the territory outside will be as chaotic as possible."

"In that case, I will satisfy your request."

Ryan sneered in his heart, then took the kingdom's edict with both hands and expressed his gratitude and loyalty to the king sincerely.

The moment he took over the imperial edict, two prompt sounds came from the panel in succession.

Ryan knew without even looking that it was a reminder of the achievement reward for completing a side quest and upgrading his rank for the first time.

Although he wanted to check the contents of the reward, now was obviously not the right time as he still had to deal with Freya and the king's messenger.

"Congratulations, Viscount Ryan. Your future is limitless as you are favored by His Majesty the King!" said the messenger with a smile.

Ryan responded modestly: "It is my honor. I will use my actions to prove to His Majesty the King that he was right about me."

"Wherever your majesty's sword points, that is where our hearts are!"

It's just polite talk, Ryan has learned a lot of flattery from the players.

Considering that His Majesty the King was quite generous, he didn't mind flattering him a little.

"Okay! I will definitely convey your words to His Majesty the King and let him know your loyalty to him!"

The messenger said excitedly that those who didn't know would think he was very loyal to the king, but in fact he was just acting.

Freya next to him also interrupted and said, "Viscount Ryan, as the lord of the Southeast Province, you have stopped the conspiracy of the Shadow Church and made such a great contribution. My father is also very happy."

"To express my congratulations to you, my father has also prepared some rewards for you. I heard that you like Warcraft very much, so I specially added a few rare Warcraft eggs for you. I hope you like them."

Ryan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, and thank you Miss Freya, I really like Warcraft."

He thanked Freya profusely and then invited them to the castle for a welcome party.

They had a great conversation along the way, and the smile on Freya's face never faded.

After being scolded repeatedly by Freya, Baron Grey stopped talking casually, but anyone could see the resentment on his face.

The clown stopped jumping around and the welcome banquet was naturally a great success for both the guests and the hosts.

At the banquet, the envoy declined Ryan's invitation to stay a few more days, saying that he had to go back and report as soon as possible and had to set off tomorrow.

Freya said that she would trouble Ryan for the next few days as she also had the task of patrolling the town.

Upon hearing this, Ryan immediately patted his chest and promised to cooperate with Freya and accompany her to patrol the town.

As for how to cooperate, we will have to wait until tomorrow to discuss it slowly.

Freya and the others had been traveling all the way and were already exhausted both physically and mentally, so they were not fit to continue the discussion.

Ryan was also considerate enough to end the banquet early so that they could rest early.

The messenger took the gold coins that Ryan forced upon him and left the banquet hall happily, feeling even more favorable towards Ryan.

After Freya and Ryan agreed on a meeting time for tomorrow, they stood up and took the Flame Lion Knights to leave.

Ryan looked at her back as she turned and left, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, White came to Ryan and asked in a low voice:
"What? Have you found out the intentions of the Marquis's daughter?"

Ryan shook his head slightly: "Not yet, but I found something interesting."

"This Marquis's daughter performed really well."

White was full of questions: "Acting? What is she acting in?"

Ryan didn't explain much, but just murmured to himself with interest:
"You're playing Infernal Affairs for me here, right? I want to see how long you can last in this scene."

"The flower of Gaoling? This is simply a derogatory name for you. Perhaps you should be called the Little Lion King."
-
After Freya left the banquet hall, she came to the guest room Ryan had prepared for her.

As soon as her personal maid entered the room, she took out an object that looked like a crystal ball and placed it on the table.

This crystal ball is a prop made of a special crystal that can monitor the mental power of Pokémon and prevent Pokémon with Psychic attributes from eavesdropping on conversations in the room.

After placing the crystal ball, they took out a dim oil lamp and shone it into the dead corners and dark areas in the room.

Don't underestimate this oil lamp. It is said that the flame in the lamp is the sacred fire of the Phoenix King, and it is said that it can illuminate all evil spirits.

The maids were using oil lamps to detect whether there were any ghost-type Pokémon in the room to prevent them from spying in the dark.

Only after they confirmed that the room was safe did they put away the oil lamp.

One of the maids walked out of the room after receiving Freya's signal.

After a while, she came in with a young nobleman.

The maid in the room took out the oil lamp again, shone it on the young nobleman's shadow, and then nodded slightly to Freya.

Seeing this, Freya said softly, "I'm sorry to have wronged you, Baron Grey."

"It's my honor to serve you!"

Under the light of the oil lamp, the young nobleman revealed his true face. He was Baron Grey who was reprimanded by Freya during the day.

At this moment, his face was no longer full of the rebelliousness he had during the day, but was replaced by a steel-like firmness! (End of this chapter)
