Chapter 165: Friend

Firenburg, Rodin Kingdom.

Firenburg was a Knight’s farm on the western border of Rodin Kingdom. Its original owner was a Knight of the Leicester family, and the new husband of the Knight’s wife was sitting here.

In the bedroom.

“Hurry up, Rosa. Help me finish the d*mn wrinkles. We don’t have much time!” A loud young man’s voice rang out.

“I’m trying my best, okay? If you’re urging me, you can do it yourself.” A dissatisfied female voice followed.

“Please, I hope you can understand. This is very important to me and to us. Whether I can become a baron depends on my performance at this banquet. Compared to the daughter of a Knight, you also prefer to be called the daughter of a baron, don’t you?”

“Alright, I will work hard.”

In the room, a tall and slender young man was standing in front of the appearance mirror and tidying up his clothes. A young girl of his age was helping the man put on his formal clothes, ruffling, trimming, and smoothening. Everything was meticulously done.

Not long ago, a baron of the Portia family passed away unexpectedly and did not leave behind an heir. Furthermore, the inheritance rights of several members of the same family who were closer in bloodline were relatively close in rank.

According to the law system, this kind of situation would be decided by the head of the Portia family.

Therefore, Count Portia decided to hold a family banquet and invite the descendants of the family who had the right of inheritance to participate. During this banquet, the Count would choose the heir.

Standing in front of the mirror, Kayla looked at himself in the mirror. The nervousness on his face was obvious.

This was the identity of a baron. Before this, Kayla did not even dare to think about it.

‘Sir Baron’, ‘Sir Baron’.

Just thinking about these titles made Kayla so excited that he could not help himself.

Moreover…

Red Rock Territory was famous for producing beauties in the entire Western Region and even the entire Rodin Kingdom. It was even known as a beauty’s territory. It was said that even the king would go there to look for girls…

Da! Da! Da! At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.

Not long after, a beautiful maid appeared at the door.

The maid bowed to Kayla and said, “Master, there’s someone visiting the manor, but there’s no invitation…”

Kayla interrupted, “There’s no invitation?”

“If there’s no invitation, why are you telling me? Let him go back to where he came from.”

The maid hesitated for a moment and said, “But he claims to be your friend, Master.”

Kayla was stunned. “My friend?”

He asked, “Did he say what his name was?”

But after thinking for a moment, he continued, “No matter who he is, tell him that I have something very important to deal with now.”

Kayla was quite self-aware. He was just a small Apprentice Knight who owned a farm. To be able to claim to be his friend, he must not have a very noble status.

“Yes.”

The maid agreed and quickly left.

At the same time, Kayla finally finished tidying up his dress.

“Wish me luck, baby.”

Taking a deep breath, Kayla picked up his cane and prepared to leave with Rosa. The carriage was already waiting downstairs.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the balcony, with a half-joking tone:

“You look so handsome. Where are you going to seduce little girls?”

Kayla’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

He turned his head around in confusion, only to see that a figure had strangely appeared on the balcony, which was supposed to be empty.

It was a man around his age. He looked around 20 years old, but he was very handsome. He had sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, sharp facial features, and a very rare black hair. He had quite a temperament.

However, he was only wrapped in a black cloak. The cloak was covered with a layer of dust, which made him look travel-worn.

“Ah! Who… Who are you?” Rosa’s pretty face turned pale, and she quickly hid behind Kayla.

But after thinking for a while, she quickly shouted to the corridor, “Help! Hurry… There’s an assassin, there’s an assassin!”

“Rosa!”

Kayla held her hand.

Kayla said, “Relax, baby. No one would be stupid enough to arrange an assassin on this matter, unless he plans to assassinate the entire Porcia family.”

He paused and looked towards the balcony.

His gaze was a little hesitant. “You look like a friend of mine.”

The man shrugged, seemingly dissatisfied with Kayla’s description. “Looks like?”

Kayla finally confirmed it.

He said, “Alright, I’m sure now. You’re that guy!”

Rosa was even more confused.

She had been by Kayla’s side for several years. She knew the kind of people around Kayla like the back of her hand. At least, she had never seen this friend standing on the balcony.

And…

She looked at Kayla in surprise.

Kayla looked as if he really saw his best friend. He couldn’t help but smile. He couldn’t take his eyes off the man on the balcony.

Did nobles have friends? Maybe?

But Kayla didn’t have such an excited reaction to the social network around him.

Before Rosa could react, Kayla said, “Alright, you can go now. Ask the restaurant to bring out the best food and wine. I have a friend to serve.”

Rosa was stunned and quickly said, “We’re not going to the banquet?”

Kayla said, “Yes, we’re not going.”

Rosa’s expression changed. “Hey, are you crazy? This is…”

Kayla’s tone became heavier. “Do as I say!”

Rosa frowned.

“Yes, Father.”

She bowed and turned to leave.

After walking for a while, an image suddenly flashed in her mind, as if she felt that this scene had happened before.

It seemed to be a few years ago in the afternoon, she went to visit a friend with Kayla…

Finally…

Rosa seemed to have thought of something, and her beautiful eyes widened.

On the other side, in the room.

Kayla walked to the balcony and complained, “Hey, buddy, is that what you learned over there? Climbing over the wall and entering?”

Heath said, “The door insisted that I deliver the visiting card first.”

Kayla put on an angry look. “Who said that? I’ll chop off his head later.”

Heath said, “They said that person’s name is Kayla.”

Kayla laughed dryly. “Ha, ha, looks like I’ll have to change my name.”

Heath laughed and said, “Forget it. I don’t want to waste my energy trying to remember my friend’s other name.”

Kayla suddenly raised his hand and punched Heath in the chest. He said loudly, “Do you know? Brother, we all thought that you abandoned us and forgot about this land. We all thought that you would never come back.”

After a pause, he pulled Heath over and gave him a big hug.

“Welcome home, my friend!”
