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

Chapter 141 Dowry Distribution

Leo thoroughly enjoyed his dinner, especially the tofu.

The Baron loves tofu, so the kitchen at the Glowing Mushroom Castle prepares a tofu dish for almost every meal.

But while Leo enjoyed his meal to the fullest, others did not. Neant and Lisa were naturally envious and jealous, as was Mrs. Sandra. The once insignificant person in the castle was now completely trembling with envy.

I feel like I'm about to become the most adored person in the world.

After dinner.

The Baron invited Leo to his study, where the father and son enjoyed a glass of red wine and recounted their experiences at Moonlight Castle.

"---Well, that's basically it. My maternal grandfather likes my appearance, loves my character, and values ​​my talent, so he decided to support me in starting my own business. I also plan to start my own business, and I hope you, Father, can support me as well."

"Phew!" The Baron loosened his collar a little to let in some air. "Let me think about this, Leo. This news is too sudden."

Count Hayden actually wanted to support Leo's entrepreneurial endeavors.

Linard had to think about the implications behind this matter, after all, starting a business is not something that can be achieved simply by talking.

The Glowing Mushroom family has poured all its resources into the Knights Order, hoping to go to the battlefield, make meritorious contributions, and then wait to be promoted to earl.

Even after being promoted to earl, the family still needs to invest resources if it wants to expand into new fiefdoms.

It is conceivable that the fluorescent mushroom family will face resource shortages in the next few years or even decades.

If we support Leo's entrepreneurial endeavors again.

The pressure from the family is too great.

However, the Baron glanced at his second son and couldn't bring himself to refuse. Leo was his son, his own son, and had already received the support of Earl Hayden. Starting a business was now inevitable, and to refuse would be to sever the father-son relationship.

"Leo, what are your plans? You need to know that starting a business is difficult."

"No matter how difficult it is, I will start my own business." Leo said firmly. "Father, even if I am just an ordinary lord knight, I will still try to start my own business if I have the opportunity, especially now that I have my grandfather's support."

"Hiss—that makes perfect sense." The Baron hesitated only briefly before nodding decisively. "Indeed, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

He stood up, paced around the study for a moment, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine, I will support you, the family will support you—in terms of resources, I certainly can't compare to your grandfather, but the Glowing Mushroom Knights can be seconded to you!"

Seeing that the Baron had made up his mind.

Leo smiled immediately: "Your attitude, Father, is enough."

On the surface, he was putting pressure on the Baron, but in reality, he was testing his importance in the Baron's eyes.

If the quantity is insufficient, then there's nothing to say; he can just go solo in the future. The Glowing Mushroom Family is the Glowing Mushroom Family, and he is himself.

It seems the portion size is acceptable.

Then he is willing to support his family.

"Father, you don't need to provide me with any financial assistance for now. I'm only sixteen, and I have plenty of time to prepare," Leo said understandingly. "I'll quietly build up my strength first, and incidentally help the family advance further."

"Okay." The baron nodded, feeling much more relaxed.

However, his smile quickly faded as Leo said, "Father, my elder brother and sister-in-law have shining armor, and my sister has shining armor too. Why not give my brother-in-law a set as well? Isn't he family?"

"You think the shimmering armor is like vegetables in a field? — Fine, I'll get Phoenix a set too."

"Yes." Leo nodded. "Father, there's one more thing. My elder brother said that Mother's dowry needs to be confiscated?"

"This—your mother did tell me before she passed away that she would incorporate her dowry into the common property to help the family advance further," Baron Lenard said. "Leo, the family's advancement was also your mother's last wish."

Leo swirled his wine glass: "I don't believe it."

"No, you don't believe me?"

"Perhaps Mother once had this idea, but after you married Mrs. Sandra, none of that matters anymore."

"Insolence!" The baron roared in fury, glaring fiercely at Leo.

Leo met the Baron's gaze without flinching: "This is a reasonable request, and even if I didn't bring it up, Grandpa would have. Father, you don't really think Grandpa would allow Mother's dowry to be managed by another woman, do you?"

"Shut up, Leo, shut up!" the Baron roared in fury.

This is undoubtedly stabbing him in the back and shattering his dignity.

He can do it, but others—cannot say it.

The Baron was so angry that he even clenched his fists, but when he looked at Leo, who was now as tall as him, he couldn't bring himself to raise his fist.

It's not that I'm reluctant to part with it.

Rather, they cannot be hit.

Leo has become influential, and we still need him to act as a middleman to continue to get help from the Evening Primrose family.

After taking several deep breaths, the Baron said coldly, "Listen, your mother's dowry has always been managed by your elder brother. From now on, this dowry will be handed over to your elder brother in its entirety, and Lipton will not receive a single penny."

Done.

He added through gritted teeth, "You too!"

"This is unreasonable. I am also a mother's son."

"Get out!" The baron had lost all interest in continuing the conversation. "Remember your place, Leo. You're just the second son!"

Leo didn't care at all, and simply said lightly, "Father, one day you will regret your decision."

After saying that, he quickly opened the door and left just as the Baron raised his fist.

Watching Leo run away.

The baron sat down in his chair, fuming, and rubbed his forehead.

"Master—" Vincent the butler called softly from the doorway.

"Let me have some peace and quiet, Vincent," the Baron said.

The door was gently closed, and there was no sound outside. The only sound was the Baron finishing the rest of his red wine in one gulp and then letting out a heavy sigh.

After a moment, he suddenly burst out laughing: "This brat is no pushover either!"

Leo went back to sleep as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't his intention to fight for his mother's dowry; his real intention—well, actually—was to cause the Baron some trouble.

This will allow the Baron to calm down when he is being pressured by the pillow talk. If he wrongs Leo for the sake of appearances, Leo will definitely have many ways to make him lose face. Leo now has that ability.

This is also a preventative measure.

Because one day, Leo will take revenge himself and uproot Sanchez and Mrs. Sandra.

A life for a life!

Leo is dead, and Leo will avenge him!

"What I'm fighting for isn't a dowry, but justice. Father, your current favoritism towards certain people will be repaid in full in the future." Leo yawned, deciding to take a break and not meditate tonight.

Daoist Master has already become a Knight of Light, shouldn't he be allowed to enjoy himself a bit?

Leo slept soundly until dawn, and did not rush back to the Knights squad to participate in the Knights' large-scale training.

After seeing off the Evening Primrose family's knight squad, he returned to the Swamp Manor with Lucio and Little Vian. ​​Pluto did not go back with them, but instead chose to rejoin the team and go straight to training.

"Lucio, little Vian, this is my territory!" Looking at the sunflowers planted on both sides of the shimmering road, Leo was in high spirits. "Although it's remote, I always feel at peace when I come back."

Lucio smiled and replied, "Home is where the heart is; this is Lord Leo's home."

"Haha, yeah." Leo laughed.

Little Wei'an rode on horseback, gazing at the rows of sunflower plants, feeling a bittersweet indifference.

Home is where the heart finds peace.

Will this place also become a place of peace for me?
