"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Reinhardt's scrutinizing gaze made Colin a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the other party quickly smiled and said, "Indeed, a young talent! The cream of the crop among the Northern Knights!"
"Your Majesty flatters me," Colin modestly replied, all the while guessing at the Emperor's intentions.
After Knight Fermi's "gift", Colin was on high alert for the Emperor, in case another tough condition would be added.
"For slaying the Troll Emperor, annihilating a hundred-thousand-strong Troll Army, and quelling the Rebellion in the North Territory, Viscount Angler, you fully deserve this praise!" Emperor Reinhardt stated sincerely, "With your accomplishments, you merit more than a countship. However, as you are a vassal of the St. Hilde family, I will let them handle the reward of nobility.
In the other aspects, I still wish to reward you."
Colin wanted to say that he didn't need a reward, but understood that he might not have a say in the matter.
