CHAPTER 573: CHAPTER 538: INCREASE THE NUMBER OF KNIGHTS

Looking down at the newly honored knight about to be knighted, Perfikot stood on the high platform feeling delighted.

The loyalty of new knights is a joyful event for any noble lord, even for a non-traditional lord like Perfikot.

Furthermore, more than the oath of loyalty from these new knights, Perfikot was more pleased with the phase success she achieved in her research on the Divine Artifact.

Previously, her research on the Divine Artifact brooch showed promising results. She used the principle of the shield derived from the divine gem embedded in the brooch, along with the technology she analyzed from the base, to integrate into a small personal shield that can be autonomously activated.

This is the knight medal she previously distributed to all official knights of the White Bear Knight Order, symbolizing their identity while being a powerful piece of personal protection.

In fact, this medal can even be embedded into a specially made baseplate and then installed onto the Steam Knight armor, becoming the shield of the armor.

Of course, so far, Perfikot has only distributed the knight medals, allowing the official knights of the White Bear Knight Order to have a piece of personal protection.

As for how to install it onto the Steam Knight armor, Perfikot currently does not plan to disclose this technology.

Thinking of various matters, Perfikot showed no sign on her face, only a slight appreciative smile as she pinned the knight medals onto the chests of these young knights, becoming the first honor of their lives.

Among these young knights, one seemed particularly excited. During the time Perfikot was knighting him, his body trembled from excitement.

Perfikot was not surprised by this. Given her current identity, prestige, and status, it’s not unusual for young people to tremble with excitement upon seeing her, this young man just shivered, which was quite mild.

Considering this might be his first time experiencing such an important moment, if he messed it up he might never forgive himself, Perfikot decided to let him relax a bit.

So she opened her mouth and asked, "What is your name?"

"Lord, my name is Mitch, Mitch Feier, the son of a worker." Mitch loudly told Perfikot his name, not feeling ashamed of his worker family background.

On the contrary, he felt incredibly proud and honored to have grown from a worker’s child into a White Bear knight.

This was notably evident when he argued about lineage and status with those noble-born knight apprentices, after all, Mitch became an apprentice knight, and now has become an official knight.

And this was the point that broke those noble-born knight apprentices the most. Their family’s upbringing and training allowed them to embark on the path of becoming knights earlier than common people, yet they couldn’t surpass a guy from a worker background, a guy who only received three years of knight training.

It can only be said that some people are indeed extraordinarily talented.

"A worker’s son, huh? You are indeed very excellent, young man," Perfikot raised her eyebrows upon hearing Mitch introduce his background: "The Brandlis Clan is also a knight family. I clearly understand that to become a knight, one must start training from childhood. They need to learn various noble etiquettes and military knowledge while honing their martial skills and physique.

As a worker’s child, you certainly didn’t have these conditions in childhood, being able to become an official knight earlier than those noble-born knight apprentices. I believe you must have put in considerable effort."

Saying this, Perfikot also took the knight medal from the attendant beside her and pinned it onto Mitch’s chest, which was already puffed high, then patted his shoulder, "So I believe you will not tarnish your honor, nor waste your efforts! Do well, young man, I look forward to the next time I’ll knight you, you can tell me loudly what achievements you have accomplished."

Finishing her words, Perfikot then turned back to the stage, while Mitch loudly shouted, "For the Northern Territory, everything for Brandelis!"

Other knights also shouted conjointly, this has already become the battle cry of the White Bear Knight Order, they increasingly like to shout this battle cry during combat.

Perfikot did not mind it, after all, the White Bear Knight Order is her exclusive knight order, shouting everything for Brandelis is not a problem.

"Very good, very spirited! I look forward to you achieving more merits for the Northern Territory!" Perfikot responded promptly to her knights.

——————————————

Leaving the knighting ceremony, Perfikot returned to her lord’s manor.

As soon as she returned to the manor, an attendant reported that Eldest Princess Annie was waiting for her in the office, and had been waiting for quite a while.

Perfikot frowned slightly, unsure of what matters Eldest Princess Annie came to discuss, but estimated it to be more trouble again.

Perfikot frowned only because she dislikes getting involved in trouble, not because she holds any resentment against Eldest Princess Annie.

Recently, the construction work in Beloburg’s new district has been flourishing, Eldest Princess Annie encountered many challenges while hosting and coordinating the construction work, some she could solve herself, but some she could only think of seeking Perfikot’s assistance.
