"After me the lord will be Ashia, the head maid of the Duke Family and caretaker of all family matters going on here and safety inside of the house...
My future family won't be taking direct actions, they will need my permission before doing big things, small matters don't matter though, so basically my family will be under my authority
And lets discuss things when there is family in here, anyways next in line will be people from the newly created position... But before that..."
Klaus stopped in the middle of his words and approached Ain and took out his ceremonial noble duke sword bestowed to him directly by the Emperor when he became the Duke and Lord
The windows of Klaus's hall opened and the light of sun directly touched Klaus and Ain's face
Ain saw that and immediately knelt down like a knight, Klaus placed the blade of the sword in both corners of Ain's shoulders one by one and said
"From today Knight Commander Ain is being promoted to a 'Grand Cross Knight Commander' the highest knight ranking in knighthood!"
As Klaus said that a great shock fell over the place and everyone seemed to be extremely surprised by this statement
Especially Ain, what Klaus did wasn't just a simple promotion, there can be only one Grand Cross Knight Commander within a place and it can't be changed till its death
And only Duke and Royal family can have them, so with that Klaus had declared Ain as the second face of Brahm Duke Family after him
"I thank the Lord for thinking me worthy..."
It was the greatest honour for any knight to get this position in knighthood, Ain had become a little emotional over this
Klaus just nodded and placed his hands over his shoulders and replied "There is no one possibly better than you for this position Ain..."
Klaus turned back and returned to his place and continued "Then next... The newly created position will be 'Lord's Fury'
This will include the leaders of 5 Forces, the 'Mage Order' led by 'Seraph' responsible for all mages
Then 'Dark Raven Order' led by Lili responsible for all works of the family under shadows
The 'Beast Order' led by Armoux which basically includes all the people from the Godly Beast Clan, these are the ones who move only under my orders, for now they are taking care of the safety of the city but they are one of the top 3 strongest forces we have here
And finally the 'Order of Fallen Sword' which will be led by 'Sir Marshall' is the third person I wanted to introduce here..."
As Klaus said that the doors of halls opened and Marshall entered the hall in his knight armour but this time his face was clearly visible to others
It was the same handsome face Klaus had seen in Reus's memories, Marshall arrived at front of Klaus and immediately knelt
"I greet the liege!"
Everyone present there seemed to be surprised by Marshall's presence, none of them could see through his strength
Seraphim and Lilith also seemed to be interested over Marshall, the fairies also seemed to be excited
"Interesting..."
Lilith muttered seeing Marshall there, Klaus nodded and started speaking
"The order led by him will be another newly created Knight Order and he has the position of 'Knight Commander' if anyone has some confusion please be free to challenge him on duel...
This knight order is basically my trump card for work in light just like 'Dark Raven Order' is my trump card in shadows..."
And then lastly the leader of all forces except these forces 'Ain', the Grand Cross Knight Commander..."
As Klaus finished his words Marshall's gaze met Ain's gaze, Marshall was smiling on the outside but that smile seemed to send cold shivers to Ain
Everyone stood back to their positions and Klaus continued "And after the 'Lord's Fury' will be three more groups
White Knight Order from the church made of holy knights paladins with power of both Light Magic and Melee weapons
They will be staying at the church of Rosario City and then
The Dark Knight Order from Imperial Family made up of knights trained by the Empire who will be coming here in a few days
And finally 1st Knight Order led by Zoya, these people are basically my retainers, Zoya will be always with me
White Knight Order will be my guardian in church territory while Dark Knight Order will be following me out at noble duty times"
Everyone present there nodded and attention was over Zoya now, she seemed to be a little shy with all attention but Klaus continued anyways
"Elena, Isis, Robert, Lumina, zeroth order of Dragonoid and zeroth unit of fairies are exceptions in here, they aren't counted as forces and they will work only under me
They are separate from other forces, these are ones who will follow my individual command and do tasks ordered by me! And here is the perfect list of hierarchies..."
Klaus smiled smugly but suddenly Molly raised her hands and asked "Then what about me? What is my position?"
Klaus looked at her with a tired look over his face just like others and said "Aren't you from the Godly Beast Clan, of course you come under Beast Order..."
Molly still looked unconvinced with the explanation, Klaus sighed and while pointing he said
"Let's try to tell you in simple words, the Beast Order is made up of 7 Beast Orders, Armoux is leader of 1st Beast Order, you are leader of 2nd Beast Order and Simon and Felix are leaders of 3rd and 4th Beast Order
Isn't it simple, every order has its own rules and laws, you can make hierarchy in your order from those rules and for Beast Order
Isn't it just 'The strongest with loudest words', why are you even questioning that fool?"
"Then I'm still good I guess!!"
Molly finally came to understanding and burst into a wide smile and got lost in her own happiness
Everyone smiled seeing her innocence and just as Klaus was about to adjourn the meeting an interesting thought came to Klaus's mind
"Then before leaving... Why don't we have a little duel between Ain and Marshall, since both of them are knights isn't it a good way for bonding?"
As Klaus said that others also became interested, the eyes of both Ain and Marshall shined brightly over this topic and both gave a nod of agreement
Everyone made their way to the place for the duel, but this time it wasn't the duel ground inside the city
But rather a large open wasteland like area besides the great forest filled with monsters, it was a little away from the place where Godly Beast Clan used to live
Klaus and others arrived there from the portal Klaus had opened, Klaus came there and noticed a dry tree there in front of large open wasteland
Klaus slashed down the whole tree within a flash and made it a place for him to sit
Others also stood besides Klaus either in large stones or high grounds and some just stood behind Klaus
Fairies were the only one daring enough to sit directly in top of Klaus's head with bright faces
"I pity the Ain guy hahaha!"
"Klaus is evil as always!"
"Right! Right!"
Klaus just sighed hearing their conversation and devil wishpers and moved his gaze to the two knights standing at distance
The whole area of 390 meter radius was the battle ground for them for that duel, Ain was standing to the right with the large giant sword of his
And Marshall was standing on the other side with a long blunt sword in his hands and fully equipped armour just like Ain
Klaus just clicked two fingers of his and a spark suddenly appeared between both knights slowly making its way to ground
As that happened but knights tightened their grips over their blades and as the spark landed to ground a little explosion happened there just like the small crackers
And at that exact moment Ain made his way directly towards Marshall, he was definately a little nervous but more than that he seemed to be excited
Marshall was also grinning inside his armour and both clashed their swords with each other, both seemed to be equally strong to others
But Klaus, Orion, Seraphim and Lilith easily noticed Marshall clearly holding back and not showing his full potential there
But Ain was giving quite a lot there, the both swords collided times and times again
The sparks and shockwaves from the collisions made their ways hundreds of meters away to Klaus and others watching duel
Everyone seemed to be amazed by this duel going on in front of them
"You are really good my friend!!!"
Marshall gave Ain a praise with a bright look over his face, Ain also seemed to be happily accepting this praise and replied
"I can say the same for your sword too!!!"
Both knights grinned and suddenly Marshall distanced himself from Ain noticing the strange move Ain was planning on doing there

Hey ya bastards! Don't force me to turn into my Primordial Dragonic Devil form to chew you all alive!!! Give comments! Anything!!!!
"You are really good my friend!!!"
Marshall gave Ain a praise with a bright look over his face, Ain also seemed to be happily accepting this praise and replied
"I can say the same for your sword too!!!"
Both knights grinned and suddenly Marshall distanced himself from Ain noticing the strange move Ain was planning on doing there
"Haha! Then be ready!!!"
Ain shouted and next moment swung his sword vertically towards Marshall who was standing quite far away from him
The Ain's sword slash was so powerful that the reactions of the slash started even before it was made
The pressure over the whole sky and earth increased immediately for a few seconds and as Ain's sword touched the ground
A huge arc filled with immense sword aura and intense wave of energy rushed at Marshall
The whole ground got separated into about 40 meters crack inside it and the height of that arc reached the height of more than 50 meters in air
Marshall saw the slash coming at him and he seemed quite amazed by the slash for first few seconds and the awe over his face was quite clear there
"Hahaha! This is good!!!"
Marshall suddenly busted into a big smile and next also launched his own sword strike in horizontal surface
His sword slash directly suppressed the ground at his front side in the radius of more than 30 meters like a cater
And the darker arc released from his sword collided with Ain's white slash and an immense shockwave capable of creating grade 4 earthquake appeared all over the place near them and Klaus
As the dust in air calmed down both Ain and Marshall looked at each other with shining eyes and excited faces
Ain next moved his sword around his wrist and held the hilt of sword in a way that the frontal part of the sword faces the ground and with a strong force Ain smashed his sword over the ground while being covered in whitish sword aura
As Ain did that suddenly hundreds of cracks appeared all over the place and next moment it felt like whole ground had exploded
Ain already knew it so he jumped away in the air and Marshall looked like he noticed he it at last moment but he also jumped in air
Both were already dozens of meters above the ground and just then whole ground below them also exploded to high up in air
Hundreds of small and big pieces of ground went air all at once, Ain was the first one to use those pieces of ground in air to use as stepping stone to reach higher
Marshall noticing Ain's reaction also followed the same way and started jumping over the pieces of ground
Both were quick and agile so within few seconds both reached more than 70 meters high in sky
The shine of sun directly touched Ain and Marshall's armours and the swords
Both of the knights looked at each other with shining gazes with aura leaking from their bodies in exploding motion
Meanwhile Klaus and others watched them from the ground with awe and amazement
"Damn... Battle of Tier 9 beings is just too strong..."
"Fan-fantastic..."
"Marshall guy is quite skilled himself!"
"But Sir Ain is quite good himself!"
Everyone had their faces straight upwards to the sky where both knights were ready for the strike and next moment as predicted both knights smashed their swords against each other directly in air
Ain seemed a little higher than Marshall in the air and as both swords collided a little shockwave also appeared over the sky
But Marshall suddenly made a right curve over the sky deflecting the most of force Ain had exerted over the strike
And before Marshall could get sent flying to ground he smashed his fist right at Ain's face dragging him down to ground with himself
Ain seemed to bleed a little from corner of his lips after that strike but the excitement for long battle was also growing more and more
Ain tried to make a safe landing over knees but as his feet touched the ground his left leg seemed to have gotten a little weak for a momentary time
Ain couldn't help but to fall over the ground and his gaze went towards Marshall, Marshall had also fallen over the ground on his back
"Caugh... That was a good strike..."
Ain complimented Marshall and stood back over his feet and without a movement immediately dashed at Marshall with his sword
"Ho ho! The sword strike wasn't too bad!!!"
Marshall also commented but he was still on the ground and Ain had already arrived near him
Ain smashed his sword towards Marshall but Marshall was quite agile here and within a flash he stood back from the ground and for in battle posture again
"Fast heh~"
Ain said with cold grin over his face and Marshall in response just tightened his grip over the sword and said
"You too comrade..."
Saying that Marshall took the initiative for the strike and he made the strike from high up on sky towards Ain's face below his sword
Ain also made strike from the sword stuck at ground towards Marshall's sword that was coming towards him with blunt look
Both sword collided making big sparks and they continued to make dozens of strikes again and again
The excitement of battle as grew over time and Marshall suddenly found an opening over Ain's posture and kicked Ain's left legs
With that Ain's battle posture broke and he was in condition to almost fall towards Marshall
His neck was was in perfect condition for Marshall to slice it off like a chicken
But Ain used this posture to his advantage with his quick thinking, he used his another leg as launcher from ground and thrusted his sword to ground to use it as his handle for the move
Now with that Ain made flip over the ground with his hands on hilt of sword using the sword and his base for support
And next his first knee smashed at Marshall's face and other one at Marshall's wrist deflecting his sword that was coming towards Ain's head
After that Marshall was pushed quite far away from Ain and Ain also fell to ground because of the impact
Marshall knelt to ground with one of his knees and using the sword as support, a line of blood was leaking from his left side of nose
"That was excellent thinking!"
Marshall acknowledged Ain's quick thought process and stood back to the ground and this time without wasting any time he also dashed at Ain
Ain had also found his posture back but this time Marshall was a little faster, Marshall started his barrage of attacks over Ain
He kept smashed his blade over ground again and again creating big caters and not leaving Ain any chance to counter attack
Ain just kept dodging the strikes making distance from Marshall, Ain couldn't follow the positions of sword that Marshall held
The moves made by Marshall were extremely unpredictable as they kept making their way towards Ain
After some time passed Ain managed to find a little gap over the sword attack and immediately stuck his sword there to stop the next sword strike of Marshall before it even reaches mid air
"Very strong... I would have surely lost a limb here..."
Ain commented with his trembling hands after blocking Marshall's strike, Marshall also grinned and replied
"We have excellent healers to heal you buddy!"
Saying that both knights smashed their heads against each other but neither seemed to be weaker there
They gave up over head butts and started their sword battle once again, everyone that can be called audience seemed to be getting more and more amazed as time passed
While Klaus was already analysing different factors here
'That's the effects of 'Tier 8' job holder 'Sword Lord', this is quite amazing, looks like job doesn't determines potential of the host but just adds few skills, Apollo! form a chart here...'
Klaus moved his gaze all over the other people once again with a bluish look on his eyes and Apollo immediately got into his work
[Aye!
Arhemes De Whiteblood _ Leon Lord (Tier 8) \Suckers who forgot he's Klaus's father\
Rianne Nos Swordette _ Silver Frost Ruler (Tier 8) _ \Suckers who forgot she's Klaus's mother\
Arwin De Whiteblood _ Frost Blade (Tier 8)
Sarah Whiteblood _ Nature's Fury (Tier 8)
Ashia _ Night Raven (Tier 7)
Isis _ Red Monarch (Tier 7)
Zoya _ Tempest Blade Master (Tier 7)
Robert _ Lunar Swordsman (Tier 8)]
'Hoo~ So many strong characters and Ashia is holder of Tier 7 job?'
Klaus turned back to look at Ashia for once and recieved a kind smile over his face, Klaus turned back with serious look and once again thought
'Even then she is strong... Definitely an amazing SSS grade talent...'
Klaus nodded with agreeing with his own thoughts and suddenly his gaze went back to actual duel going on there and Klaus noticed
Both Ain and Marshall had distanced themselves from each other and glaring at each other with excited faces preparing for last strikes
