Chapter 78: Celebration (2)

The one that had tried to threaten me was only one of the guards, so while he was a bigger man than me, he didn't have enough in him to threaten the knights.

The knights were specially trained warriors after all.

When this guard saw that the knight was stepping up for me, he couldn't help being caught off guard. It was the same for the men who were behind him.

But at the same time, it was the same for me.

Before this, the knights and the guards had all looked down on me. None of them had any respect for me since they just thought that I was Baroness Rose's boytoy.

That wasn't completely incorrect, but still…I had become the Baron and should have commanded some respect.

Still, there was no real conflict before me and the knights and guards before this, so I hadn't really minded it.

So seeing them stand up for me now…really was something else.
