Each of the summoned men knelt before Mr. Adipram as he bestowed a special title upon them.


After the tribute, the celebration began, featuring musicians, dancers and acrobats. Everyone cheered as they watched everything.


Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal and sipped a quality drink while listening to the various stories told by the poets.


As time went on, many people danced to celebrate their achievements.

"Aadry! we are nobles now, I do not believe this!", I said explosively to Adry.


Adry responded, "Yes, I can't believe this, it's our lucky day!", and then a man in a servant's suit came up to us, "Gentlemen, sorry to interrupt your time. I was ordered by Mr. Adipram to escort you to your new abode"


"New place of residence, you mean a house?", I asked confused to frown.


Adry responded to me, "Yes it is natural for a knight to live close to the castle. It might live inside the castle belonging to their master or in the nearby noble house given by the master. Because then, they will be ready to fight or protect the land owned by their master at any time"


Wait a minute, knight? ready to fight and protect!?


"I'm a knight? am I not a noble?"


"The nobleman is actually a warrior, the knight is a low-level noble title. You don't know?", Adry grabbed me and pulled me, saying, "Here you go!"


Do I have to go to war again? my heart began to feel unsettled again.


Then the servant led us, "Follow me Gentlemen", not far from the castle, just tens of steps away. We arrived at the new house, my house and Adry's next door. The waiter invited us to look at the house.


From the outside it is clear that this building is more complicated than the houses of commoners like me.


I opened the door and set foot inside the house. When I walked into the room, the air was warm. So this is the residence of the nobles and the rich.


Looking at the entire floor made of ceramics, unlike the house I occupied today which was filled with piles of grass tied together as a pedestal.


Then entering deeper, there is a main room decorated with various kinds of furniture. The rug hangs on a thick wall, not only serves as a barrier, but also as a warmth enhancer.


I looked out of the glass window in the main room, with the frame of the box covered with cloth, making it easier to enter the lighting, dispel the wind, and can be opened when summer arrives.


Looking around me, I entered the kitchen room, in the kitchen room there was a large fireplace where meat, even large beef, could be roasted on it.


What about the bedroom? I was impressed to see the expensive-looking bed, as I held it, made of fine silk, as well as a blanket with beautiful seams and a pad containing a collection of swan feathers.


Would all this be worth it if I died in battle? I try to think optimistically. This is the first time I've been able to stay in a mansion since my father dumped me!


I feel like my childhood dreams can come true now.


The waiter called both of us from outside the house, we both went to him, then he said, "Are any of you having a family? I suggest you stay with them here"


Adry responded, "Hmm, my father rarely comes home and prefers to settle down in the tavern. What about you, Reza?"


"I don't even have family here. It's just me, both you and me, we're both single" I replied.


The waiter then said, "Well then, stay here because it is your duty now", then he gave us 2 keys, like a door lock, and the other one I don't know.


"Gentlemen, I'm leaving, and don't forget to check the crate under your bed, enjoy Mr. Adipram's gift", and then he's gone.

"What are you going to do with your old house?", I asked Adry.


"My innate stuff isn't too much, I'll help you tomorrow"


Adry slapped my shoulder, "Thank you guys!"


I embrace Adry, "Let's get back to partying!"


"Alright, I also still want to try some food inside", we both entered the castle again.

In the morning, I and Adry woke up early and started moving everything necessary into the horse carriage we borrowed from the castle to move it to our new residence. We meticulously cleaned up all the items and packed them. Make sure everything is safe and well packed so that no items are lost on the way.


After some time passed, we finished moving everything.


"Your innate stuff is so heavy Adry!", I said sweating.


Adry responded, "Haha, that's good for training your muscles!"


Adry stretched his body, saying, "Thank you for helping me, I'll clean some parts of this new house for a while and go tell my father, until Reza!", he entered his house.


___


I jumped up on the bed staring at the ceiling. A few minutes passed, I remembered the servant's words.


I immediately checked the crate that the waiter said. Looking down my bed and then dragging the chest out. I tried to open the box chest with the key that the waiter gave me. I opened it slowly, expecting something good, after it opened I saw a huge pile of silver coins.


When struck by that large amount of silver, I had just remembered my promise to Mr. Adry. I locked the box back and put it back under the bed.

I rushed to the store, after seeing Dery's sir talking to Adry at the customer's desk, but it felt like Dery was mad at me, "Reza, you didn't come yesterday. I was overwhelmed!"


I walked up to him and replied, "I forgot, I'm sorry. Yesterday I attended an event at the castle"


"I've heard it from Adry, do I have to call you 'Master' now?", he said as if insinuating me.


"I don't think that's necessary"


Adry laughed, "Haha we're so lucky, aren't we Reza?"


"To be precise, very lucky haha", I replied, then Mr. Dery asked me, "It seems you don't have to work anymore in this tavern Reza. You've legally become Mr. Adipram's private soldier "


I responded, "While my daily life may be busy later, I think I can come to help for a while", I started to help Mr. Dery, "Let me take care of the customers", Mr. Dery said, "All right, I'll take care of the kitchen", she goes to the kitchen, while I talk to Adry.


I asked him about the box, "Have you seen the contents of the box?"


"Yes, I haven't counted the numbers. Then I'll go home to count it, see you later!"
