C10 Chapter 10

After the Ceremony Tatsuo is resting inside of a small house. When he was about to sleep a guard knocked on his door " Sir Captain Ragnar commanded me to bring this lady to you"

"I thought that I can now rest at last but I forget about this lady" Tatsuo thought

"Ok let her come in" the guard let the woman in. When the woman came in Tatsuo widened his eyes because this woman is truly a beautiful angel sent by heaven. Her skin is as white as snow, his eyes are as blue as the ocean. Tatsuo never sees a beautiful woman like her even in his previous life. Tatsuo is just looking at her without saying a word

"Sir?" The woman called nervously

"Oh yes. Forgive me I just amazed how beautiful you are"

"Thank you" she shyly replied

Tatsuo offers a chair like a gentle man " lady don't be nervous, just sit here I'm gonna molest you I am a decent man. I just wanted to know which House you came from, why are you in this place?"

The lady sat on the chair nervously but when she heard Tatsuo's question, her facial expressions suddenly changed to an angry and sad expression. But before she answered Tatsuo. Tatsuo suddenly ask again

"Miss my bad. I didn't ask your name yet?" Tatsuo said with a gentle smile because Tatsuo felt that there is something wrong on his question that made the lady change his expression

The lady stands up, smiles and bow to Tatsuo like any noble woman does when they introduce themselves. " I am Anne the 2nd Daughter of House of Veatmoss. Is it nice sir?"

Tatsuo doesn't want to reveal his identity but this woman is an exception. He did not hesitate and introduce himself " Tatsuo Ryujin the Heir of the Throne of Shinku Hou Empire'' he slightly bow his head

This time Anne widened her eyes in disbelief that the Prince was in front of him. She believed him immediately because no one has the courage to use this identity unless they want to die and even if they can use this identity they will not because the Prince is an Idiot, useless, and a trash. There is a rumor that the Emperor's Court is not allowing the Prince to be the Emperor. But this man in front of her is completely different person it's not like the rumor says

Anne is back from his senses he directly bowes again and becomes more respectful "Greetings your Highness!"

"Lift your head, no need for the formalities. I didn't really like it." Tatsuo casualty said. Anne lifted her head.

"Now about my first question, can you answer it? If not I will not pursue that matter it is you rights" Tatsuo said

Anne hesitated for a moment but thinking that this Prince could help her so she decided to tell Tatsuo " When my Father died, my brother took over everything and became the Baron. My older Brother and Sister don't really like me because I'm just a daughter of the second wife and my mother is just a commoner that is why when this Slave Company went in our place my older brother and sister sold me to them, and they also killed my mother I can't forgive them if the heaven give me a chance I will kill them with my hands" Anne said hatefuly

"Now I understand" Tatsuo thought that it is an opportunity for him to get this woman he really like her but he need to test her if she can really help him and also he think that when he become the Emperor it is not bad to have two to three wives

He looked at Anne and asked her seriously "Lady Anne if you've been given a chance to have revenge. Will you grab that opportunity?

Anne answered with a determined eyes "yes"

Tatsuo smiles at her "very well. Now you can have a good rest and we will talk again tomorrow, Guards!" The guards entered the house, Tatsuo instructed them "Find a comfortable place for Lady Anne to rest"

"Yes Sir" the escorted Anne

Before Anne go she bowed to Tatsuo and thank him

Tatsuo is sitting on his bed thinking about what he is going to do tomorrow. Suddenly the System rang "Ding Congratulations for defeating the Iron Slavery Company. Here is you reward…. Soul Breaker Battle Axe"

A blue screen appears in front of Tatsuo " Soul Breaker information - a S Class weapon it can give its welder additional Special Skill: Crasher - destructive power that can destroy a Large Hill."

Tatsuo thought "A nice weapon but I don't use a battle axe. I just give this to Ragnar tomorrow"

….

In the morning Tatsuo instructed Ragnar to gather except for those who will go to the Harbor Town because they left earlier. And asked Rota for everyone's name

In the village hall Tatsuo is sitting on the village chief chair in front of him is his subordinates

"Before we start we welcome first our new comrades. Welcome, First I will introduce myself I am the Crowned Prince of this Empire my name is Tatsuo Ryujin" he directly introduced himself without hesitation

The new people in the group were shocked. This always happens when Tatsuo introduces himself because it is not normal for the Crowned Prince to wander outside.

"Don't be shocked anymore it is normal of a Prince to wander around on his empire" no it is not normal, Tatsuo smile at them

He continued "Second I have two rules, first do not reveal my identity to anyone, second I don't want a weak person in my ranks so you need to train every fucking day. Any one who violates my rules I will kill her or him myself. Understand?" The aura of the Sovereign Burst came out from Tatsuo's body

The new ones became nervous but they still answered him unitedly "Understand sir!"

"Ok I will continue, I will organise a Mercenary Guild. It will be my information source because information is a powerful weapon. I will assign Lady Anne as a first Guild Master and I will establish a Prince Guard 3rd Squad, Fubidon you will be the squad Captain, and of course your sister Fetti will be your Deputy, the half elves will be under your command. Your main assignment is to protect Lady Anne and to assist her, you are also be the Chief Minister and Fetti will be the Chief Officer." Anne, Fubidon, and Fetti did not have time to answer Tatsuo. Because Tatsuo continued to talked to them "also Diza you will join Fubidon's Squad and have a Rank of First Mate also a Chief Examiner to the Guild, Reeldos will be the Deputy to Rota, Nard you will be a Deputy to Ragnar, Sokzal ……….." he gave out ranks until the last of them, his subordinates felt that their power is increasing inside

"Captain Ragnar the Half Giant, come forth and kneel before Me."

He Kneel Down without knowing what will happen next

``Be it known to all men that I, Prince Tatsuo Ryujin, am minded to raise Captain Ragnar the Half Giant by virtue of his honor, loyalty, valor, and skill at arms, to the rank of knighthood."

Now Ragnar understand what his happening Tatsuo will grant him a title of Knight. His tears slowly flow from his eyes

"Ragnar, do you swear and acknowledge Prince Tatsuo Ryujin to be your true and lawful liege?"

"I do so swear your Highness"

``Do you also swear fealty to the Shinku Hou Empire, to defend and obey him until he departs the throne, or death shall take you?"

"I so swear Your Highness"

Let this be the last blow you receive without just recourse. Tatsuo gave him a gentle blow on his sides

Ragnar kneels before Tatsuo, placing his hands palm-to-palm and upraised.Tatsuo places his hands over the Ragnar's head

"Repeat after me: “I, Ragnar Sternguard, do solemnly swear and pledge my sword to Tatsuo Ryujin, my liege, to defend and obey him until he depart his demesnes or death shall take me, and to uphold the honor of knighthood.”

He repeated what Tatsuo says

"And I, for my part, do swear to defend and honor Ragnar Sternguardas befits a true knight.

Tatsuo receive the sword and taps Ragnar lightly on both shoulders with the sword

"Serve and defend me and this Empire. Arise, Sir Knight."

Before Ragnar stood he said "I promise in my faith that I will in the future be faithful to the lord, never cause him harm and will observe my homage to him completely against all persons in good faith and without deceit."
