The Knight of Light plants the sun in the eternal night.

In the living room of Sunflower Castle, guests and hosts took their seats.

Leo leaned back on the sofa, his expression calm yet slightly indifferent—a habitual demeanor he remembered from his predecessor in the Glowing Fungus Castle.

Franken, representing him, was rambling on and on about something.

The person he was speaking to was Wendell, the patrol knight commander of Glowing Fungus Castle, a second-tier Grand Knight.

He, representing the Glowing Fungus Castle, investigated the attack on Leo: "After a thorough investigation, the gap in the Glowing Path was caused by the natural decay of the Glowing Fungus. It's a pity, young master Leo, no one wanted this to happen."

"Will the fluorescent fungus die naturally? It's possible, but Lord Wendell, don't you think the probability is too low?" Franken disagreed.

"It is indeed very low, but... it did happen."

"I cannot agree to this, and our Lord Leo Glowing Fungus certainly cannot," Franken insisted. "This matter cannot be concluded so hastily, Lord Wendell. This is not a matter of distrust, but rather concerns the safety of important members of the Glowing Fungus family!"

Wendell nodded: "I understand."

"So we absolutely cannot let it go like this," Franken declared righteously.

Wendell continued nodding: "So, Franken, what do you think should be done? The Baron has gone to Lancashire to fetch the old lady for her birthday celebration. Young Master Neander and Miss Lisa went with him. For the time being, Lady Sandra is in charge of the castle affairs."

Upon hearing this, Franken glanced at Leo.

Leo knew it was his turn to step in: "Mrs. Sandra, are you going to try and fob me off with just these few wagons of supplies?"

Wendell gave a wry smile: "Young Master Leo, I'm just a messenger... and these supplies are merely Mrs. Sandra's way of expressing her condolences to you."

Franken said, "Well then, let's leave it at that for now. We reserve the right to investigate further. When the Baron returns to celebrate the old lady's birthday, Leo will speak with the Baron personally."

"That's good then." Wendell had no objection.

That was the end of the conversation. Franken, who had been serious, quickly became friendly with Wendell, treating him like a brother.

At the dinner, he frequently raised his glass and drank with Wendell and others.

After the banquet, in the castle's small study, Leo lit a lamp and flipped through a book, waiting for Butler Dirk to arrive.

"Young Master, the goods from the five carriages have been inventoried." Butler Dirk carried a bottle of red wine. "Would you like another glass, Young Master? I noticed you didn't seem to drink much at the banquet."

"A drink would be nice," Leo said without refusing.

It was a very pleasant thing for the lord and his trusted steward to discuss accounts and drink red wine in the study.

After pouring the red wine, Butler Decker began to introduce the supplies in the five carriages: "Most of it is grain, wheat flour, various beans, and some nuts, as well as a lot of cloth and seeds."

Leo nodded: "The warehouse is full again."

"It's almost overflowing." Butler Dirk grinned, his face crinkling with wrinkles. "If possible, young master, you should expand the castle's cellar; it's far too small."

"Let's talk about it after the house is built."

"Yes, young master."

"Grandma's birthday is May 22nd, right?"

"Yes, the old lady's birthday is May 22nd."

"I need to prepare a gift, Mr. Dirk. What do you think would be most suitable for Grandma?"

"The old lady lacks nothing; she only needs to know the sentiments of you grandchildren. However, young master, since you have been granted a fiefdom, the gift may need to be more substantial than in previous years. How about a beautiful potted plant?"

"A beautiful shimmering plant, isn't it?" Leo thought of sunflowers.

Today is May 4th, eighteen days until my grandmother's birthday. I hope old Bob and Rauff can grow a sunflower seedling.

He can then give a potted plant to his grandmother.

In the memories of the previous incarnation, the grandmother doted on all her grandchildren and did not show any favoritism towards him because he was the second son.

Moreover, with their grandmother in charge, the Baron wouldn't be swayed by Madame Sandra's influence and would maintain equal treatment for the three Leo siblings. Otherwise, the three Leo siblings, whose mother had passed away and whose father had remarried, probably wouldn't have lived such a comfortable life.

At this moment, Butler Dirk said with a smile, "Actually, young master, if you just tell the old lady that you have made a contract with the spirit insect, it should be her favorite gift."

Leo nodded: "Grandma hopes we can all succeed... but we also need to give her the beautiful shimmering plants."

"The old lady will be so touched."

"It's just a little bit of filial piety."

The master and servant clinked glasses and chatted about all sorts of things until the clock struck ten before they parted ways.

Early the next morning.

Doris woke him from his sleep: "Young master, it's already eight o'clock. Didn't you tell me to wake you? Commander Pluto is already waiting for you downstairs."

"Yeah." Leo stretched.

After contracting the spirit insect, he received daily nourishment from holy light, and his body has fully recovered.

Therefore, the plan is to officially begin Cavaliers training starting today.

I'm working on my body, hoping to awaken the Holy Light and Fighting Spirit soon.

After breakfast, Leo went to the open space in front of the castle, where the knights trained daily.

Good morning, Your Excellency Pluto.

"Good morning, sir," Pluto replied earnestly.

Leo greeted Oden and the other three gently, then said, "I'll be training with you guys today."

Standing meditation, stabbing straw figures, and sparring.

Knight training is tedious; the same move requires countless repetitions. Leo was no exception. Under Pluto's tutelage, he quickly became drenched in sweat and simply took off his clothes, going shirtless like the other knights.

"My lord, your sword-wielding posture needs adjustment," Bruto instructed from the side. "Oden, you attack the lord's left side, forcing him to use a backhand to block."

"Yes."

Auden swung his greatsword, slashing heavily.

Leo could only struggle to withstand the attacks of the Tier 1 knights and quickly discovered his own technical shortcomings.

The backhand position is weak and ineffective.

After Bruto adjusted his sword grip, he quickly discovered that his backhand defense had been greatly enhanced.

He appeared more composed when facing Oden's attacks.

"With the guidance of a good teacher, progress is rapid," Leo thought to himself, realizing that a knight's training should not be rigid.

Especially the fighting techniques.

It is necessary to make continuous adjustments based on individual physical conditions and habits to ensure that one's strength is maximized.

The one-hour class ended quickly.

Leo was already panting heavily, but even in this state of exhaustion, he could feel waves of new life spreading from his limbs and bones. This was a sense of energy, not holy light or battle aura.

Moreover, Leo felt that he was still a long way from awakening his Holy Light Battle Aura.

This body's talent for fighting spirit is really not very good.

"However, I also have the Sun Mark cheat code; perhaps one day I'll find the opportunity for awakening through the language of flowers!"
