"Hudson, you've been making quite a bit lately, eh?"
Knight Adrian jealously said.
Also a striver, it took him and his father two generations' of effort to barely secure a fiefdom, while Hudson achieved height that he aspired to right off the bat.
For resources to develop, he even abandoned the appearances valued by the nobles. Yet compared to his distant cousin, the gap between them seemed to grow.
"Haha..."
"Just a little business, earned me some hard-earned money. I can't even keep it quietly, I fear someone might have their eye on it.
Adrian, your haul this time isn't small, right?
Those more than seven thousand people, they are all yours now as they have overstepped their boundaries. The funniest part is those idiots have to apologize to you and pay you compensation.
Although it's not a lot of money, your name, Knight Adrian, has now echoed across the two counties. Everyone knows you're the toughest knight in the two counties!"
