Chapter 13
Duwei’s group continued to move on. Obviously the addition of a female night caught the attention of the other knights. Of course it’s not only because she’s the only girl in the group, but also her relations.h.i.+p with the master.
She came out from the master’s room last night. Then the next day she came to pledge loyalty.
There’s actually another reason for the attention, a bit of jealousy. Yes, jealousy, because she obtain the t.i.tle of a true knight. Warding knights that belonged to a family were not real knights. They were just a t.i.tle that included the word "knight".
Then a girl that they met only a day ago, a low level warrior, suddenly became what these men desired. How can they not be jealous? It was already unfortunate that they were picked to follow the little master here. Their only goal was that someday, this master would recruit them as honor knights.
Everyone knew, that this master could only be a Baron and be able to recruit only ten knights. Then suddenly this unknown girl took one spot. This left them feeling imbalance.
The most reasonable explanation was that a thirteen year old couldn’t understand what knights were. He was treating such valuables as a child’s game. Most importantly, what can you do about a girl with a pretty face?
Relin could feel the sights by her new companions. But she was determined. This new master won’t be a normal person. This wasn’t a wrong decision.
By sunset, Duwei’s carriage crossed a river. It had the official name called "Roland River". This river was named after the Roland family.
The Roland River spanned across Kete Province and separated it in half. Once you cross this river, you were in the territory of the Roland family.
South of the river was a prairie. This was one of the most fertile land of the kingdom, and an important producer of food. It was the size of half the Kete Province and had an official name "Roland Prairie". Yes, it was also named after the Roland family.
Two hundred years ago, the Luolan kingdom defended a huge invasion. According to history, the foreigners from the north invaded and put the whole kingdom in war. As the kingdom was declining, rebellions started to take place. The kingdom was on the verge of collapse.
During the war, a group of exceptional people surfaced. One of them was a general from the Roland family. That general acc.u.mulated enough achievements to later become a Marshal. The king also married his sister to this marshal.
Before one of the most important battle took place, the king pointed to the Roland River and said, "If you come back with a victory, then south of this river, of the Kete Province will be rewarded to you. In addition, this prairie will also be named after your family, to show the contribution your family made
