King Morton keenly realized that he seemed to have opened a Pandora's box; the future had become increasingly uncontrollable for him.
But one thing was certain: a war sweeping across the entire continent was no longer far away.
The more strength the Feis Kingdom could preserve at this moment, the more assured they could be of protecting themselves in the future.
They might even take the opportunity to advance further!
Therefore, King Morton needed to unite all possible forces.
Behind Lis, the "Judgement Flame" and the Legendary Assassin Joyce were extremely important existences.
Even, considering the talent that Lis was now displaying, it was very likely that he would become a Legendary Arcanist in the future.
Bevis had already told him that Lis had successfully advanced to Gold and even defeated Grandmaster Wendell, the head of the Boditch Royal Mage Group!
And Lis was not even twenty years old yet, a talent even more astonishing than Little Taya.
Moreover, seeing the way Little Taya behaved, it was very likely that Lis would become the Prince chosen by Taya in the future.
If that was the case, why make such clear distinctions when they were all one family?
Lis had not expected King Morton to have considered so much, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
After all, everything King Morton did from the standpoint of the Feis Kingdom was to win him over and did not harm him at all.
The candy-coated shells were all sugar on the inside!
"Lis, you don't have many knights and soldiers yet, do you?" King Morton asked, looking at Lis.
Lis nodded his head. Although he was allowed to form a much larger squad of knights and guards after he became a Marquis, he had not paid attention to this while he was out on his adventures. Naturally, there was no progress, and it was still the Golden Warrior Welf leading a few weaklings.
It was for this reason that he sought to recruit those two Golden Strong Men from Danerluo Port as his foundation.
"At that time, I will have Bevis transfer some soldiers from the Golden Lion Knight Order to you."
"After all, it's quite troublesome not to have capable subordinates for such a vast territory," said King Morton thoughtfully and decisively.
Lis had not expected King Morton to be so generous.
The Golden Lion Knights were the Kingdom's most elite and formidable force, the absolute confidants of the old king.
This was an army comprised entirely of Extraordinary Professionals!
In an instant, Lis felt as if he saw affection on King Morton's face and almost bowed down in gratitude!
Having such a god-like ally was worlds apart from the King of Bodich!
Lis controlled his emotions and showed a surprised and happy expression as he said:
"Thank you for your generosity. Your magnanimity is truly admirable."
Fusis, standing by, opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing to dissuade him.
He could see that the King's mind was made up and could vaguely guess why the King wanted to do so.
It was good, tying Lis to the Feis Kingdom's chariot; thinking , the sacrifices seemed worth it.
"In a few days, we'll prepare the ennoblement ceremony for our Little Lis!"
"Fusis, you will be in charge of it!"
Fusis immediately bowed and acknowledged the order.
"Little Lis, rest well for a few days. Soon, our Feis Kingdom will have its youngest Duke!"
King Morton said to Lis with a beaming smile, then added somewhat regretfully:
"It's a pity Little Taya is not here. She's gone out on an adventure with Avin. Otherwise, knowing about your situation, she would have been very happy too."
Lis noticed King Morton's hint. Having just received so many benefits, he immediately made his stance known:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"I will surely get along well with Princess Taya. Having not seen her for so long, I miss her too!"
Lis declared solemnly. Could this be considered eating soft rice by royal decree?
