I began to remember William's profile and It is true that at the beginning of the year he was the son of a knight, but that will end soon.
The kingdom would pretend to recognize his father's achievements to give him territory and a noble title, thus making him a successor earl.
It was a long term plan so that a marriage, with the royal family, or other nobles, could materialize if the opportunity arose.
Later, they would slowly increase their rank in disguise, to avoid opposition and problems later.
There are no memories to indicate which nobleman he served or serves at this time, and I did not even know that he had a good relationship with such a nobleman. So I asked curiously.
"Wait, William, I didn't know the noble you served had a son at the academy."
