Cheat Awakening-Chapter 638. Misplaced Confidence

"From the outside, I would still appear to belong to the First Knight Division, but in reality, I will be the Head of the Konoe Knights of the Fortuna Family," Gale, after telling his emotional but very envious and motivational story, realized that he was not in front of his friends and quickly got back to the point.

However, I remember my cheap father-in-law mentioning sending several people. But now there's only one? How the hell is he going to protect so many of us? Myne wondered, confused. Although with his and his girls' current strength, no one in the entire kingdom could threaten them; rather, they were protecting others. Still, seeing a rabbit talking about protecting a lion with such confidence was amusing.

"I heard your father-in-law said he would dispatch some soldiers and civil officials here. Aren't they come with you, Mr. Gale?" Myne inquired, unable to contain his curiosity.

"Yes, currently only I have arrived with my family. Two more knights and two civil servants will arrive soon, once your clan building construction is complete. I'll greet you as soon as they arrive," Gale explained hurriedly as if he was being fined gold coins for every second wasted, he was very nervous.

Ah, I see. So they're waiting for the clan officials to begin... Myne murmured. It seems construction is almost complete. After Garnet moved here and took charge, with the help of extra magic architects she borrowed from someone, the speed increased significantly.

"By the way, what do you mean by 'Fortuna's Konoe Knights'?" June, who had been listening intently to their conversation, couldn't help but ask curiously, excitement mixed in her voice. As a commoner, before moving into Myne's house, she had never encountered a real royal knight, let alone an entire division dedicated to their service.

Hearing the question from the unknown girl, Gale first looked at her, then at the strange pink creature in her arms. He then shifted his gaze to Myne and Sylphy, seemingly trying to figure out their origin. He had done his homework before coming to meet them and was familiar with most people, but these two were unknown factors, a serious oversight for a man with Gale's level of responsibility.

"She's my girlfriend, June, and the one in her arms is Ocea, our new family member, she is an aquatic creature," Myne said nonchalantly, introducing his girlfriend while sitting between his two wives, who had stiff and forced smiles, clearly displeased. This was normal, as no wife could tolerate a third wheel between her and her husband, and June wasn't the third but the fourth wheel.

"Huh? What! Cough, cough—I mean, what a surprise. Nice to meet you, Miss June," Gale, sensing that he had lost his composure, coughed awkwardly and greeted June before giving Myne an admiring look. He couldn't even handle a single wife properly, but here Myne was writing history by building a harem at such a young age.

However, maybe because he had never seen a creature like Ocea before, his eyes occasionally drifted toward her, consciously or unconsciously. But clearly, Myne had no intention of explaining her origin to an outsider and inviting unnecessary trouble, so he let Gale brainstorm about her.

"As for your question, Lord Myne, are you familiar with the banner of the knight's division?"

Myne shook his head and turned to Sylphy, the former knight princess, wanting her to explain. But Gale, who was prepared, hurriedly continued...

"Please be aware, Lord Myne, that as you are married to Her Highness Sylphid, you're a noble too."

"Although you're welcomed into the royal family, you don't have any self-defence unit or knights hired under you."

"It is without a doubt that I am an escort guard for Miss Amy, and I'll put in my 100% to fulfil this mission. However, protecting Lord Myne and his family in the shadows is also one of my responsibilities..."

"You will protect us?" Myne interrupted the excited Gale, asking in confusion and glancing at Sylphy, wondering if he had heard wrong.

To his surprise, she had a very similar expression to his. Then they both turned their heads toward Aisha. Finally, all three of them looked at Gale, who was scratching his head, wondering what he had said wrong.

Title: The Knight

Status: Nervous, Confused, Distracted

[Skills]

Titan's Surge

Void Runner

Chaos Pulse ]

[ Titan's Surge (Active Skill)

Description: Temporarily increases the user's strength tenfold, allowing them to lift massive objects or shatter walls. However, overuse causes intense muscle fatigue.

Cooldown Time: 30 Minutes. ]

[ Void Runner (Active Skill)

Description: Increases speed and agility drastically through supplemental use of mana, making the user move like a blur. It also lets the user momentarily phase through physical barriers. Perfect example of synergistic use of both energies in the body, but it is easy for magic energy to take a dominating position, and break the balance.

Cooldown Time: None ]

[ Chaos Pulse (Active Skill)

Description: Randomly enhances one physical ability (strength, speed, or endurance) to a superhuman level for five minutes but has an unpredictable and random temporary side effect because of uncontrollable mana flow in the body (e.g., glowing skin, loss of speech, crazy growth of hair or any body part, etc.).

Cooldown Time: 1 hour.]

It has been quite a long time since I have seen anyone with a title... Now I remember, Fenrir's title also showed up on her status last time when I used appraisal on her, but because the time wasn't right, I didn't check them. Next time I will do it immediately, I wonder what kind of evil deeds she has done to get them, Myne thought excitedly with a smile.

Although most of the time titles don't make much sense, especially if they are negative once, not only will you not gain any benefit after going through so much trouble to have one, instead, those negative effects come with it, making your life miserable. Even so, just to have one title, Myne, specifically tasked one of his clones to have fun with new girls as many as he could, and to do this, what better place could there be than a brothel, where money can buy you happiness without much trouble?

"I have already tasted 32 nice-looking girls of my type from all brothels in the capital city, I wonder how many more I have to taste before earning a title, but it shouldn't be anytime soon, otherwise everyone might have this title, especially the middle age men, whom I don't think have left any girl in a brothel alone in their young ages."

[ The Knight (Positive Title)

A title that the host earns after not breaking their knight's oath for more than 15 years, and following the true creed of the knights, and doing everything to maintain the honour of knights. Only a true knight from both heart and soul can earn this illustrious title.

Remark: The one who loves mortal things more than anything, and is easily seduced, and has a weak heart should not hope for this kind of title.

Title effect: 1. Charisma Increase by 100% (Permanent)

2. Friend: Can easily earn anyone's friendship, and it would be hard for anyone to hate you unless you do absolutely disgusting work.

3. Stamina and Mana increases by 300%. (Permanent) ] Explore more at novelbuddy

F*ck! Cool. Another wonderful title in the hands of someone who has no idea about it, what a waste, what a waste indeed, especially the second effect. If only I could have this, my task of banging a hundred women could be completed in a jiffy, Myne lamented, the ache in his chest growing stronger.

If only I could cut and paste those titles as well, and choose the one which suits me the best... that would be perfect. Sadly, I can't, since appraisal can then show them, maybe in future when my cut-and-paste skill levels are high enough, I can able to do that... Hopefully...

Regretfully closing the transparent floating window in front of him, Myne refocused his attention on Gale. Deep down, he wanted to sneer at him thinking that he should have at least checked his deed of fighting with a dragon and protecting a town before coming to him and saying that he wanted to protect him, but perhaps the other party's title had already taken effect—or maybe it was Gale's innocent nature. Either way, he couldn't bring himself to do so.

"Mr. Gale, I think you have some misunderstanding about this mission, of yours. Your work was only to deal with the daily work of the clan and maintain its order, making sure people coming there wouldn't create chaos, or trouble other guests. We don't need your protection, and believe me, I am not saying it just on a whim, but genuinely we don't need your protection... To be honest, you are far too weak to protect any one of us... except maybe June."
