Chapter 1 Start Home And Inherit The Family Business
"My dear son Rennes, how have you been recently?"
"In the blink of an eye, you have also left home and served in the Lionheart Legion for nearly ten years..."
"A few days ago, your father and brother were attacked by monsters while inspecting the fiefdom and unfortunately died."
"Your mother hopes that you can retire and return home as soon as possible to inherit the title and fiefdom of the family."
"..."
- Your mother, Evelyn.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Rennes didn't know what to say for a moment.
He never expected such a big change to happen in his family all of a sudden.
His father and brother were attacked by monsters and died.
He, the second son who never expected to inherit the family business, suddenly became the first heir of the Habsburg family.
This really caught him off guard.
"This Roland Continent, where the gods manifest their miracles, is truly dangerous."
"Nobody knows which will come first, accidents or tomorrow."
After a long silence, Rennes couldn't help but feel the impermanence of the world.
As for the sadness of hearing the news of his father and brother's death, it was there but not too much.
After all.
He had only crossed over half a year ago.
The memories of his previous life were like watching a movie to him.
Plus, he had been in the military camp for the past six months and had no contact with his previous family.
Naturally, he couldn't have a deep affection for that 'strange' father and brother.
"Should I go back and inherit the family business or not?"
After reflecting on his feelings, Rennes began to carefully consider this question.
Returning to inherit the family business has its advantages and disadvantages.
If he wants to further advance on the extraordinary path, it would be better to stay in the Lionheart Legion.
After all.
The Lion Legion is one of the three extraordinary knight legions of the Kingdom of Rennes.
The benefits are all very good.
There are intermediate and advanced warriors to guide daily training.
By achieving military merits, one can also obtain various auxiliary extraordinary potions for training.
There is even a chance to be ennobled and obtain a territory.
According to the memories of the previous owner of this body.
The previous owner's father had spent three years of the territory's income bribing the captain of the Lion Legion in order to allow the previous owner to enter the legion smoothly.
However.
The aptitude of this body is really average.
Having served in the Lion Legion for nearly ten years.
Now, he is nothing more than a low-level knight at the 3rd rank.
Based on the current rate of cultivation, it will take several more years at least to break through the bottleneck of the 4th rank and become an intermediate knight.
As for breaking through the 7th rank and becoming an advanced knight, it is almost impossible.
In this situation.
It is obviously very difficult for him to stand out in the Lion Legion, where the strong are respected.
Encountering a war, his life is at risk at any moment.
"In that case, returning home to inherit the family business is my best choice."
Rennes sighed and thought to himself.
When he first crossed over to this high-magic world, he also had grand ambitions to emulate those senior transmigrators and become the most powerful existence in this world.
But after living in this world for half a year, he had long recognized the cruelty of reality.
For someone like him who has no background, no talent, and no cheat-like abilities, it is simply as difficult as reaching the heavens to achieve great success on the extraordinary path.
Since that's the case.
Then it's better to go home and inherit the family business, and live a comfortable life in a few days.
Although the Habsburg family's business is not big, it is only a baron title and a territory of less than 20 square kilometers that can be inherited.
But it is enough for him to live a worry-free life and wait for death.
With this in mind, Rennes made a decision immediately.
Retire and inherit the family.
However.
Retiring is not such a simple matter.
As an extraordinary legion sponsored by the Kingdom of Rennes, the Lionheart Legion is not a place where one can come and go as they please.
Under normal circumstances, a soldier needs to serve for at least fifteen years or have a physical disability in order to retire.
And Rennes has served for less than ten years so far, obviously not meeting the retirement criteria.
There's no way.
In order to retire and return home as soon as possible to inherit the family business, Rennes can only resort to some special means.
For example, giving gifts to superiors.
After a series of "PY transactions" (bribery), the fortune accumulated over the years was instantly reduced by more than half.
Fortunately.
The retirement procedures were successfully completed.
From today on, he officially leaves the battle sequence of the Lionheart Legion and becomes an ordinary civilian from a soldier.
Knowing that Rennes is about to retire and return home, the soldiers who have a good relationship with him come to bid farewell one after another.
After having a farewell meal with these comrades-in-arms who fought side by side for many years, Rennes mounted his warhorse and went home.
...
The next day.
After a day and night of rushing, Rennes successfully returned to the Habus family's fiefdom - Eagle Village.
Perhaps due to the attacks of Warcraft, the atmosphere in Eagle Village was noticeably tense.
Even during the day, there were very few people on the village streets.
Riding on his warhorse.
Arriving at the small manor in the center of the village.
The guards reported.
After a while, a mature and beautiful woman came out. It was Evelyn, Rennes' biological mother.
Mother and son reunited.
Evelyn was extremely excited.
She ran over immediately and hugged Rennes tightly.
"My child, you have finally come back."
Her husband and eldest son were suddenly killed by monsters.
All the affairs of the territory were suddenly placed on her, a weak woman.
If Rennes didn't come back, she didn't know what to do in the future.
Facing her emotionally unstable mother,
Rennes comforted and pacified her repeatedly.
After a few minutes,
When Evelyn's mood calmed down,
Under the arrangement of his mother Evelyn, Rennes presided over the funerals of his father and brother.
Let them rest in peace.
Then, witnessed by all the villagers of Eagle Village, Rennes successfully completed the inheritance of the title and became the ruler of this land.
As for the follow-up, he just needed to send the register to the noble house in the county city for registration.
Inheriting the family title for direct relatives is that simple.
As for the epic ceremonies of title inheritance witnessed by the king, those are only for top-level nobles like dukes and marquises.
Don't even think about it for a low-level noble like a baron.
After spending several days handling the affairs of the territory, Rennes immediately prepared to start his decadent life as a useless noble.
However.
After two days, Evelyn gave him another big surprise.
She directly found him a fiancée.
