With the suppression of the sky pirates being a success, Greg and Brad had returned to the royal capital and were summoned to the royal palace in order to discuss about the future
However, the government official in front of them was at a complete loss
Brad slammed the desk
“What on earth are you planning to──ouch, that hurt my arm”
His recently treated ar the desk
Though Greg was aovernment official
“We weren't the ones who suppressed the sky pirates As if we can accept this kind of rehen all we did was assist!”
The reward for the tas to officially appoint thehts
In addition, they were paid reed Shark sky pirates
Brad protested with teary eyes
“Don't look down on us! The one who defeated the to deprive him of his achievement?!”
The government official was stupefied
“It'll be troubling if you don't accept The report from Baron Baltfault said that he only assisted you two A, also, you two currently aren't knights and don't have any court rank or class It would be nature to place more faith on Baltfault's report since he's above the sixth rank and is a baron I, if soh”
The government official stuttered on some of his words
It was bewildering that the touldn't accept their rewards
Nornition and remuneration
Yet, in an unbelievable turn of events, the two refused to accept
If Leon was the one snatching away soovernation However, Leon said that those tere the ones who accomplished the feats
The official just wanted the two be obedient and accept the rewards
Greg folded his arms
(That idiot's doing soe)
Taking a deep breath, Greg told the govern
“We only helped out The one who defeated the sky pirate group was Baltfault, and we didn't do anything worth gaining recognition for At the very most, ere just there on the battlefield We would accept rewards for participation, but nothing more”
Brad nodded
“We didn't really take an active role We can't accept this kind of reward”
The governh
“I was forbidden to say this to you two, but Baron Baltfault's planning so with your households Perhaps he wants your disinheritances to be reconsidered”
The tere surprised, and soon made complicated expressions
“W, ould he do that?!”
While Greg stood up in surprise, Brad made a face as if he couldn't understand
“R, right What reason would he have to do this for us?”
The govern
“I don't understand the baron's feelings, but he sent corresponding funds to the royal palace So bestowed upon your households as well How about just co the rewards?”
After saying that they could return the favor in the future, the official left the room
The royal palace's courtyard
Greg and Brad both sat on a bench
Neither of thes
Greg had a disgruntled face, and Brad hung his head with a slightly gloomy face
Julian appeared in front of the two in such a state
He rushed over after spotting them
He had a slightly exhausted face, but showed a bright s the two
“You two, I heard the news!”
It seemed that he had heard about their services The two made complex expressions
“Your Highness?”
As Brad raised his head, Julian got excited and began to speak
“It seems you've successfully suppressed the sky pirates! Furtheruy! Doesn't that make this our win? I even heard that your households have a better opinion of you t that this ht Perhaps you're close to becoain”
Greg spoke in a low voice toward the pleased Julian
“That's not it We couldn't win against hith and spirit Furthermore, we lost in terms of endurance”
Brad didn't object
“Your Highness, we've decided on so”
“What have you decided on?”
Brad and Greg stood up
“We want to win against Baltfault It's not like our goal is his defeat What ant is to win in ter more of a man”
“Right We can't coht Fro, eren't people who could be his opponent”
The two, thinking that they couldn't just keep hanging their heads, soon began a new course of action
Brad made a request to Julian
“Your Highness, could you arrange awith the queen?”
“Mother? I think I can ?”
Greg made an aard smile
“We've received so much We can't be men if we don't return a favor”
