"Theoretically, your achievements are more than enough to claim all three border territories."
Swaro shook his head.
"But every great noble house has its eyes on those lands. The status and wealth of the three border territories are tempting enough that no one can resist them. The resistance you'll face is overwhelming."
"Besides, the Empress will never allow a young man to control such a strategically important military region. Even under your family's name, it won't work. Without a sixth tier Divine Chosen, the Ross family is no longer suitable for expanding its territory."
"And most importantly, I want Bull Territory myself. Your family has no way to stop me."
Swaro spoke with complete sincerity.
He simply couldn't refuse the most delicious slice of the cake.
"As expected…"
Phield let out a long sigh.
"Then I'll settle for the border fortress."
Despite earning enough military merit, he still couldn't receive the reward he truly deserved.
