Chapter 305 - 305 151 Bestowing Gold and Secret Alliance

305: Chapter 151: Bestowing Gold and Secret Alliance 305: Chapter 151: Bestowing Gold and Secret Alliance Halting his warhorse, Leon awaited the return of his “Heroic Spirit” atop his mount, not the least bit worried that Canis would reveal the truth to Baron Grey Wolf.

From a distance, Canis finally bid farewell to his father, unhurriedly caught up with them, and approached the current “Lord.”

Mounting his beloved horse from before his death, the Wolf Family Young Master rode alongside Leon toward the grand encampment before Wacht Castle.

He certainly wouldn’t reveal to his father his true state.

Not just because his revenge was incomplete and he was concerned about whether his existence would be constrained by Leon’s will.

More so, he knew…

Telling his father about his reality, being a spirit dead and bound, controlled by Leon, a Thorny Flower Vassal, would purely be all disadvantage and no benefit to himself.

The Master of Grey Wolf would never pass on the family’s right of succession to an Undead spirit under someone else’s control, even if he was the father’s most beloved legitimate eldest son.

Before the vast family business, even father-son affection had to stand aside.

What’s more, he was far from the only so-called brother coveting the position of Family Head.

Retreating ten thousand steps, even if his father was willing to nurture Little Logan to grow up and replace himself to inherit the title of Baron, the variables involved were unpredictable.

He was no longer a living man, unable to have more offspring, and Logan was the only bloodline he had left behind; it would be at least a decade before Logan reached adulthood.

If the news leaked that he had died and become something akin to a “Wizard Puppet,” his only offspring would likely, sooner or later, perish in some “accident” arranged by one of those “brothers.”

By then, even if his father found out who was behind the murder, it wasn’t certain he would avenge his grandson and deceased eldest son by dealing with the other still-living sons.

All because…

As the eldest son…

he was already dead!

A wave of resentment surged, and Canis clenched his teeth, his hatred for Met growing deeper.

He turned his head to look at the young knight ahead.

Some of these intricacies he had come up with himself, while others were warnings and reminders given by this knight named Leon.

This young man, so keenly aware of the filth within noble lineages, was truly a crafty “Wizard.”

Canis temporarily put his strong prejudice against wizards aside, seized the sober moment during his appearance, and silently plotted for the future.

Since he had been granted a second chance at “life,” he wouldn’t give up everything that was supposed to be his; the throne of the Lord of Wolf Domain had to be his, even if he was already dead!

And on this point, frankly, even his son Logan would have to step back.

Considering how to secure his right of inheritance in his state of death, Canis gazed at Leon’s figure mounted on the horse ahead.

This Thorny Flower Knight was very mysterious…

As a witness to the miracle of returning from the dead, Canis knew how unbelievable it was to be pulled back from a Netherworld beyond comprehension.

Though he was very reluctant to admit it, the Wolf Family Young Master couldn’t imagine a second answer to achieving such a miracle, other than being favored by the gods…

But regardless, to continue the brilliant life that had ended too soon before it even started, as unwilling as he was, he had to rely on this person who manipulated his existence.

In the years to come, Leon could not die; how long this Thorny Flower Knight lived would determine how long his second life lasted.

“You promised, don’t forget,” Canis urged his horse forward, unable to restrain himself from reminding the other once again.

Upon hearing this, Leon turned his head to assure, “As long as you sincerely do me the favor, someday when I possess Magic Power akin to that of Met or Hilgard, you will be able to act on your own to some extent.”

“Think on the bright side, I, of course, am happy to help you succeed the Wolf Family securely.

You and I are now in the same boat, though not in mutual destruction, we are in mutual prosperity…

In the future, to have the Baron of Wolf Domain as one of my own, why wouldn’t I be willing?”

Hearing this, Canis looked up, saying, “Of course, you should feel honored to have the future Lord of Wolf Domain’s allegiance.”

Regardless of personal feelings, at least in terms of actual action, even if reluctantly, Canis had to show the necessary “loyalty” to the person in front of him who had decided his new lease on life.

“….Honored?

Well, I am deeply honored, Lord Canis.” Seeing Canis’s proud demeanor that wasn’t easily satisfied, Leon sighed and responded perfunctorily.

The Master of Thorns of the ancient Kosos Duchy didn’t have such airs, and you, a son of a baron, are quite spirited, one would think you’re the son of a king.

Besides, under my command, there is actually a prince who has sworn loyalty, the former country of Kovis, if put on the Western Continent, is not a small nation at all; Villania’s area is said to be nearly as large as Kantadar, you work in the same company with him, not knowing who should feel honored…

Leon shook his head, then thought of his fiancée, who was the legitimate daughter of the former King Orland.

If he wasn’t afraid to declare it, he had a claim to the throne of Orland too.

Is it too much for the Young Master of Wolf Domain to work for me?

At this thought, Leon’s nostrils unconsciously flared higher than those of the man beside him.

Ah, stay humble, stay humble…

It seemed that in his own small circle, only he and Lokhak were from grassroots backgrounds, ordinary commoners.

…

In front of Wacht Castle’s military camp, the soldiers of Thorny Flower greeted their lord’s return.

Eriv had returned to the castle ahead of time, while Leon briefly parted with his Sealing Lord, staying outside in the military camp to meet up with his companions and his own army.
