"My dear son Ryan, how have you been recently?”
" In the blink of an eye, you've also left home and joined the Wild Lion Legion for almost ten years…"
"A few days ago, when your father and brother went out to inspect their fief, they were attacked by magical beasts and unfortunately died.”
"Mother hopes that you can retire and return home as soon as possible to inherit the family's title and fief.”
“……”
Your mother, Evelyn.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Rene didn't know what to say.
He never expected such a big change to happen at home.
His father and brother were attacked by magical beasts and both died.
This second son of his, who originally had no hopes of inheriting the family business, suddenly became the first heir of the Habus clan.
This really caught him off guard.
"The Roland Continent is really dangerous.”
"No one knows which will come first, accident or tomorrow.”
After a long silence, Rene couldn't help but feel that the world was unpredictable.
As for the sadness of hearing the death of his father and brother, it was a little but not much.
After all.
He had only transmigrated half a year ago.
To him, the memories of his predecessor were like watching a movie.
In addition, he had been in the military camp for the past six months and had not interacted with his predecessor's family.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to have such deep feelings for his 'unfamiliar' father and brother.
"Do you want to go back and inherit the family business?”
After feeling emotional, Rene began to carefully consider this problem.
There were pros and cons to going back to inherit the family business.
If he wanted to take a step further on the path of transcendence, it would naturally be better to stay in the Mad Lion Legion.
After all.
The Wild Lion Legion was one of the three great Transcendent Knight legions in Lance Duchy.
The treatment was very good.
During his daily training, he had the guidance of intermediate and advanced warriors.
He could also obtain all kinds of extraordinary potions to assist in his cultivation.
There was even a chance to be conferred a title of nobility and obtain a territory.
According to the memories of his predecessor.
His predecessor's father had spent three years of the territory's income to bribe the thousand-man commander of the Mad Lion Legion to allow his predecessor to enter this legion smoothly.
However…
The aptitude of this body was really very ordinary.
He had served in the Wild Lion Legion for almost ten years.
Right now, he was only a low-level knight of the third step.
According to his current cultivation speed, it would take at least a few years for him to break through the bottleneck of the fourth step and become an intermediate knight.
As for breaking through to the seventh step and becoming an Advanced Knight, it was almost impossible.
Under such circumstances.
It was clearly very difficult for him to make a name for himself in a Transcendent army like the Mad Lion Legion, where the strong reigned supreme.
In times of war, their lives were on the line.
"It seems that returning home to inherit the family business is my best choice.”
Rennes sighed and thought to himself.
When he first transmigrated to this high-magic world, he had also wanted to imitate those transmigrators and become the strongest existence in this world.
However, after living in this world for half a year, he had long recognized the cruelty of reality.
For a person like him who had no background, no aptitude, and no cheat, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to achieve great success on the path of transcendence.
Since that was the case.
He might as well go home and inherit the family business and live a comfortable life for a few days.
Although the Habus family's property wasn't big, they could only inherit the lowest baron title and a fief of less than 20 square kilometers.
However, it was enough for him to live comfortably and wait for death.
Thinking of this, Rene immediately made a decision.
He retired and returned home to inherit the family.
However…
It was not that easy to retire.
As the extraordinary army provided by the Lance Duchy, the Wild Lion Legion was not a place where they could come and go as they pleased.
Under normal circumstances, a soldier would have to serve for fifteen years or suffer from a disability before he could retire.
Rennes had only served for less than ten years, so he obviously hadn't reached the retirement standard.
He had no choice.
In order to retire and return home as soon as possible to inherit the family business, Ryan could only use some special methods.
For example, sending gifts to his superior.
After a round of transactions.
The wealth that his predecessor had saved up over the years was instantly reduced by more than half.
Fortunately…
The retirement procedures were successfully completed.
From today onwards, he would officially leave the Wild Lion Legion's battle order and become an ordinary civilian from a soldier.
Knowing that Rennes was about to retire and return home, the soldiers who had a good relationship with Rennes came over to bid farewell.
After having a farewell meal with his comrades who had fought side by side for many years, Rene rode his warhorse and went home.
……
The next day.
After a day and a night of traveling, Rene successfully returned to Eagle Village, the fief of the Habus Family.
Perhaps it was because of the magical beast attack, but the atmosphere in Eagle Village was obviously a little tense.
In broad daylight, there were very few people on the village streets.
Riding a warhorse.
They arrived at the small manor in the center of the village.
the guard reported.
After a while, a mature and beautiful woman walked out.
It was Evelynn, the biological mother of his predecessor.
Mother and son reunited.
Evelynn was very excited.
He ran over and hugged Rennes tightly.
"My child, you're finally back.”
Her husband and eldest son were suddenly killed by a magical beast.
All the affairs of the territory were suddenly placed on her, a weak woman.
If Ryan didn't come back soon, she really didn't know what to do in the future.
Facing his mother who had lost control of her emotions.
Rene comforted him repeatedly to calm his emotions.
A few minutes later.
When Evelynn calmed down.
Under the arrangement of his mother, Evelyn, Ryan presided over the funerals of his father and brother.
Let the two of them rest in peace.
Then, under the witness of all the villagers of Eagle Village, Ryan successfully inherited the title and became the ruler of this land.
After that, he only needed to send the name list to the Aristocratic Court in the county city to register.
It was that simple for a direct relative to inherit the family title.
As for the succession ceremony witnessed by the king in the epic stories, it was only the treatment of top nobles such as marquises and dukes.
Low-level nobles like barons were out of the question.
After spending a few days dealing with the affairs of the territory, Ryan was ready to start his life as a decadent noble.
However…
Two days later, his mother, Evelyn, gave him another big surprise.
She found him a fiancée.
