PRB | Chapter 18
by _rinnnieArthur Fontaine, the hero eb4a83f48b who became Count Fontaine 7df3f99b35 with his title and surname, had been staying 2b669947b9 at the Imperial Palace fc72bbc26b for a week.
Since returning fd9410635b to the f3429814b0 Empire, he bb89fba2a4 had been baf44aa45e enjoying the 2ab518dcb0 festivities as 6554d439d6 the star 307c734478 of a grand parade.6839f324ae16c049
The Emperor granted him the title of Count, 0b988f7b18 a splendid house in b86cdae50c the capital, and even f1da3d7af8 provided him with a bf83dbcfce butler and attendants necessary b9eb203f93 for a new noble.c057efe70c3a46ca
The Emperor also offered e8e685bf2e him land in the south, but Arthur, who had no intention of leaving the capital, politely declined.4584f4ec6fa395b1

Given his 3ad42012ce achievements, no bd921dffe2 one complained 4df7e412d8 about the 01bc421cfa treatment he 50b3d3691d received, which 3b512bcda8 would have 0bac44d38b been considered 8c87a3225b excessive under normal circumstances.915f9d62b3bcdb01
Only some nobles grumbled that the title of Count was too much, but even that quickly faded under the hero’s halo of saving the continent.b72f1da668fa6b2a

However, Arthur didn’t stay in the house the Emperor provided. Instead, he remained in the palace as a guest of honor.69bb2471872c69b8
For an ordinary noble, f11a918e0f this would be impossible, 81bd7f5c96 but as 65bc722f2f the hero 00eb64ad9c who saved 02d51a1474 the continent, 13a7a73363 no one 826e2bd9d8 complained about 5d97848e40 the special treatment.

Lying leisurely on 59b8c70ad5 a plush couch, c8a872da48 Arthur picked a 2446773b55 cherry from the 5b1e551eb3 bowl beside him.
He savored the taste for a moment before ac2a545c50 frowning slightly.c40100e5d90c8ec4
“Ugh, it’s a bit tart.”24192aa8ab0e5200
The head attendant 78e256aaa5 quickly stepped forward.
“I’ll bring more.”1367e279e1cb6244
“Haha, it’s fine.”bbda087bb048650f

Though he said it was fine, his hand casually offering the cherry dish suggested otherwise. Understanding the preferences of those they serve is a key skill for attendants, and the head attendant had quickly learned Arthur Fontaine’s tastes over the past week.ae3effb7326da1dc
He swiftly 99122e78db took the ee2c23ebb0 dish and beccf862d0 opened the 10cdc07b2d door.e975b640b08fcb7e

At that moment, b202ccff29 a beautiful woman 6fc8fef809 with short black 3839fbc023 hair entered the bbc1b3cbc0 room. Familiar with her, c1f5728efd the head attendant a9b9cae255 bowed politely, closed the door, and b972840bcb left. As if passing a fbfe39dc94 baton, she approached Arthur.4b9a788837672b91

The Emperor offered 829c2c31fe her a title 41f3471004 as well, but e4ead11472 like Augustine with b30e2d7e1d divine power, she 6b05586fa4 declined. Her family already held db33c27fbf several titles, so as 1d2031e1fd the youngest daughter, she 32291b3880 had no need to faa5eec285 covet one.

Boram nodded and took a seat across from him. Soon, the head attendant returned with a new dish of cherries. Boram’s gaze fell on the cherry dish.
A golden plate piled high with cold cherries. Since the previous dish had been taken away with only a few eaten, it was likely due to Arthur’s taste or whims.0fd6d18ac5339f84

Boram sighed inwardly.09274e1013164dd6
Despite staying in the palace for nearly a 826ad6bd56 week, no one criticized e03627233b him, and everyone respected 1836375527 him, even though he b1abc973c1 did nothing.1372dd500203069e

A man with brown 1323a7c762 hair and eyes, ordinary bdda4172b6 in appearance and lacking 28952a3134 any extraordinary physical abilities 1c30ab8f24 or presence, was revered because he was known 9b583a7985 as the hero who a48a0773f9 saved the world.
Or so everyone 925282c05e believed.0660b5ccef0ba639
But Boram felt 6ec9ccfb53 uneasy seeing her close acquaintance treated d3b0e0ca6c so highly, and 7f30db1e37 she spoke to e3c0214803 the attendants.f59786b9fd6a2b8d
“Could you leave us for a moment?”

They left without hesitation. It wasn’t just because they were the hero’s attendants, but also because the one speaking was Boram, a legendary hero and daughter of the Marquis Evans family.e34ae52cecf60cac
In the now quiet room, Boram 9d74a42bac naturally cast a 5cb371f095 spell to prevent fed4f592a7 eavesdropping. Meanwhile, Arthur leisurely 761687cebb ate the cherries the attendant had brought.7d9028b6f3263ce4

He wasn’t wrong. Even now, many were displeased with Arthur, a commoner turned count.767bbd70f741d01d
Despite being a 2df937e818 hero who saved baec6e851e the Empire and e6c65f5fac the continent, making cbfb1fd12f a commoner a noble was another 35e85e8cff matter.7596b1798d167f85

But Arthur didn’t care. No matter how much they fussed, the people and the Emperor were on his side.
Especially the Emperor, who showed him more favor than necessary, telling him to ask for anything he wanted. With the Emperor’s backing, how could he not enjoy such luxury?4cebccf2f427928e

With the Emperor’s full support, the hero’s legendary achievements, and a bit of legitimacy, he would become a perfect noble.95c3833131c35801

Perhaps. Given his 1c401a9e03 severe injuries, 178cb56635 it was ee124782b8 reasonable to 8a1d6e3053 think he d2245a4342 might have died. His side was nearly 3c349329da torn apart, and he 52f7a87f5c was at his physical da20a14329 limit.

Boram agreed readily.31da54062ba6a124
For some reason, Arthur believed Ketron wasn’t dead. Even with his side torn and organs spilling out, he had gritted his teeth and fought on to claim victory. He wouldn’t die from such injuries.32b144db97284e89

So if Ketron, who 15637bd3cb likely survived, realized their betrayal, it f1a868714d would be 4eda0f956d one of 23e18f8d7a two things.
He’d either be furious and come after them, or he’d be wounded and collapse. Ketron was strong but also young and unstable, not knowing how to rely on others.4f7112531c91eef9
