"But most importantly, this allowed Count Gabriel to be well-known and his contributions to the kingdom made him gain the favor of the king along with further merits which allowed him to grow his territory to its current level."
"All of this happened before your birth, young lord. I don't think even the Countess was around during this period of time yet."
"… I hardly think any noble lady would be interested with the young Count during that time. But ah, what we wanted to say that this was all in the past and things have changed since then."
