PRB | Chapter 18
by _rinnnieArthur Fontaine, the hero 17d65fc7a3 who became Count Fontaine 6d510cbf70 with his title and 26e9ad4074 surname, had been staying d689169711 at the Imperial Palace d963bdcc59 for a week.11f6cb9afd38117a
Since returning to the d17b816cd2 Empire, he had been b5262a855d enjoying the festivities as 88acf5b097 the star of a grand parade.50b5e9488ecaf935

The Emperor granted him 9c387910ca the title of Count, f81917a788 a splendid house in the capital, and even fe7142555a provided him with a 01bdd6381d butler and attendants necessary 0d7fd062e4 for a new noble.4fb20ecf0d883d91
The Emperor also offered 075e998d7a him land in the 8eb82c6700 south, but Arthur, who 916b9c5b47 had no intention of d88e0b18a1 leaving the capital, politely 02efcaf20f declined.63d897d8fadf0723

Given his achievements, 30faa9624d no one complained 5fe1fccc06 about the treatment 5db7a80ea5 he received, which c7654f9021 would have been considered excessive under a72b9bd874 normal circumstances.884ea619cbe22196
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.e0b6300a8c5b9c7d

However, Arthur didn’t stay in the house the Emperor provided. Instead, he remained in the palace as a guest of honor.c45fabfc01e293be
For an d83a0e9828 ordinary noble, this would 83795142a4 be impossible, 1b18b903b2 but as 2856d6164a the hero 2b5702fac9 who saved 99bbce96be the continent, 000e555757 no one b0cbbe07a1 complained about the special treatment.

Lying leisurely on a821ea6887 a plush couch, Arthur picked a 084ae91b54 cherry from the bowl beside him.493e1a2f9f721f04
He savored 68a373cffe the taste 081bb22b58 for a moment before 6b3e957f05 frowning slightly.

“I’ll bring more.”bd26150420f44a41
“Haha, it’s fine.”426459d487e7764f
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.75e26eb76183445b
He swiftly took the 02ba783433 dish and opened the b34c19fcdc door.363f39df3ef1844f

At that moment, a 6ddd5149b9 beautiful woman with short black hair entered the room. Familiar with 81628659d4 her, the cadf3b0f01 head attendant caa531047a bowed politely, 0f961365c5 closed the door, and left. As if passing cca8c06d11 a baton, she approached Arthur.39eb3a02d5d24f43

The Emperor offered her a title as well, 8e1449bd55 but like Augustine with divine power, she declined. Her family 067690ef55 already held 216ad69e18 several titles, 36cbc6fbb1 so as 58c7a3c468 the youngest 67d51b2fa5 daughter, she had no 316bad8e8a need to covet one.883c0c7332ebeaa0

Arthur waved 6ca0086509 leisurely as c64a3c798a he recognized 5df02df571 Boram.f7b19a02dd65fc01
“You’re here?”a3fd8042a6685416
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.b9f7e7be95db770f
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.c4add119ba79d827

Boram sighed inwardly.71f40e4cc810fe70
Despite staying in d61760b987 the palace for 6e388de576 nearly a week, no one criticized him, and everyone 342b70dcb9 respected him, even 08510037c2 though he did 428a9ba04d nothing.5749981f54a116f2

A man with brown 93c58e2b44 hair and eyes, ordinary b2528141b4 in appearance and lacking e11c1d4b44 any extraordinary physical abilities or presence, was revered be866c7e62 because he was known 2c4714b0ed as the hero who 89dc281d53 saved the world.2c823468c634337d

But Boram felt uneasy 1cfad37667 seeing her close acquaintance dbe4566f19 treated so highly, and 7c8881943d she spoke to the a9f07d5c84 attendants.e3279c91b5f1b60a
“Could you leave us for a moment?”f26a933b08e2a380
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.528c4e896daab209
In the now quiet ef1bbb2b38 room, Boram naturally cast 93c0c50f7c a spell to prevent d44cde6a3d eavesdropping. Meanwhile, Arthur leisurely ate 2a8147d1d2 the cherries the attendant 7894e5de7f had brought.a31dc0d1b0febc68
“How’s it going? Have you found Ketron?”3e3a9c9130ec1bcb
Arthur got straight to the point. Boram shook her a7e3360321 head.53a34eba40bcf3ba

He wasn’t wrong. Even now, many were displeased with Arthur, a commoner turned count.db37462984ae28a8
Despite being 1b8b1852bf a hero who saved 50483d01ec the Empire 1eeabd1c38 and the 15102a16ca continent, making a commoner 083154ace3 a noble 4c2bf91484 was another matter.92ba1c436c395a18

But Arthur didn’t care. No matter how much they fussed, the people and the Emperor were on his side.60524815309b1dc4
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?ac2cd185e960cc3e

With the Emperor’s full support, the hero’s legendary achievements, and a bit of legitimacy, he would become a perfect noble.fa05f99682388ecb

But what did 67ffc0244c it matter? Now the hero was Arthur, not Ketron.e187bf7561e969df
Filling the void left by the forgotten was not difficult for Arthur. People naturally filled the gap left by Ketron’s erased presence with Arthur.246217d581cdaa10

Perhaps. Given his 48edcbbdf2 severe injuries, 821cf4d160 it was b1943f9e92 reasonable to think he might have 40a2635508 died. His side aaaab33256 was nearly b9db35478b torn apart, 132950d19c and he 698ced6a07 was at 931b657a7f his physical 0f83fe88b2 limit.

Boram agreed readily.3b131474b1fb6266
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.e055cdbab880a815
