No one questioned Grid’s words.
To them, Grid just looked like a charming figure.
Grid would be praised as manly even if he took off his pants.

“Earl Aden.”

The king called the person in charge of finances.
Then an old nobleman came forward and said, “First of all, I will reward the achievements of Baroness Jishuka and the other 21 people who joined the battlefield later.”

The Tzedakah Guild stepped forward as they were called.

Earl Aden conveyed King Wiesbaden’s will.

“Baroness Jishuka and 21 others have saved Earl Steim and defended their kingdom, helping Viscount Grid defeat six of the ancient weapons.
You will be awarded 20,000 gold and 10,000 kingdom contribution.
In addition, they will be given the title of Viscount for their loyalty to their kingdom.”

“We are much obliged.”

The compensation was as they expected.
The Tzedakah Guild members were completely satisfied.
The media were excited.

『 The experts speculate that there should be 20 users who became nobles in Satisfy.
Among them, the only viscounts are Grid, Zibal and Chris.
』

『 But now, 22 more viscounts are born.
In addition, all 22 people are Grid’s subordinates.
They can appoint three knights each, so the result is that Grid has around 70 knights.
This is a truly tremendous power.
』

The earl continued.

“Huroi, Lauel, Euphemina, Ruby and Sexy Schoolgirl.
You joined forces with Grid to defeat 733 old golems, 187 soul dolls and 12 ancient weapons.
If you hadn’t acted, this country would be in a great crisis.
You will be honored as a hero of the kingdom, receive 442,900 gold and 184,800 kingdom contribution, as well as the title of Earl.”

Numerous notification windows popped up in front of the five people.

『 Earl…? 』

The reporters of each broadcasting station were astonished.

『 It’s amazing.
Didn’t the kingdom originally have a limit on the number of senior nobles? To appoint five earls in one day… 』

『 It means they are big enough to make the Eternal Kingdom endure the financial bleeding.
』

『 If they are earls, then… Grid should become at least a marquis.
』

『 Grid is truly amazing.
He’s writing a new legend every time.
』

『 … Sexy Schoolgirl didn’t do anything during the battle, but she was still counted? 』

Five earls were born, and all of them were Grid’s subordinates.
The world became frenzied at the breaking news.
Huroi, Lauel and Euphemina were pleased at gaining more rewards than expected.

But Sehee and Yerim didn’t care.

“Is an earl good?”

“Perhaps?”

“Is 442,900 gold a lot?”

“Well, I don’t know.”

“…”

Lauel sighed as he looked at the two girls.
People who were born with gold spoons couldn’t perceive how good they had it.

‘I wish I had a brother or sister like Grid too…’

As Lauel was feeling jealousy, Grid was receiving his rewards.

“Viscount Grid, you led your knights and colleagues to defeat 733 old golems, 187 soul dolls and 12 ancient weapons.
Your achievements can’t be denied.
You will be praised as the country’s hero…”

“The next part will be a burden for Earl Aden.”

King Wiesbaden got up from the throne.
Then he congratulated Grid instead of Earl Aden.

“Viscount Grid will be given 500,000 gold, an infinite amount of kingdom contribution and the large city Reidan.
In addition, you will be awarded the title of duke and your statue will be set up in the Hall of Fame, keeping you alive to the next generation.”

“I want you to pledge eternal loyalty to the royal family.”

“I, Grid…”

Grid was about to pledge to Wiesbaden when Lauel urgently sent him a whisper.

–Only swear allegiance to King Wiesbaden, not the royal family.

Grid didn’t understand.
But he did as Lauel said.

“I, Grid, swear eternal loyalty to Your Majesty.”

“…”

Some nobles frowned.
In particular, the princes’ faces filled with anger.
However, King Wiesbaden was over 70 years old and in a state of considerable decline.
He didn’t find any issue with Grid’s remark and smiled.

On this day.

New articles praising Grid were spread all over the Internet.
The number of fan cafes for Grid increased exponentially.
But since the number of Noe’s fan clubs increased more, Grid was struck with a sense of defeat.
