Silver Moon Empire.
Inside the Governor-General's Office of the Southwestern Defense Line.
The sudden retreat of the blood beasts.
Finally allowed the heavily burdened governor to breathe a sigh of relief.
But the nobles immediately fighting over credit gave the governor another massive headache.
These second sons of noble families.
They were counting on bringing back achievements and receiving rewards from their families.
The problem was how to distribute the credit, which was a tremendous dilemma for the governor.
Most of the noble second sons were easy enough to deal with.
But a few of them had extremely powerful bloodlines.
They were people the governor could not afford to offend.
For example!
Akuwa had arrived at the governor's residence.
"Governor-General."
"This concerns whether I can become a Star Knight."
"My mother once said that she saved your life at the border."
"Although she is currently in the royal capital, she often brings up the matter."
Akuwa's mother was not the official wife of the Star Knight, but she was one of the more favored among his many women.
If not for Akuwa's weak bloodline.
She could have been even more favored.
Now that Akuwa had the chance to become a Star Knight, it was also an opportunity for her mother to regain favor.
This time, when Akuwa was sent to the front line, her mother had specifically instructed her to seek out the governor of the Southwestern Defense Line.
She had to secure the greatest possible credit.
According to the original plan, Akuwa would use the scroll to kill most of the blood beasts.
That credit would have been indisputable.
But the blood beasts had suddenly left.
That made the credit difficult to handle.
"This..."
The governor also looked troubled.
Akuwa's words amounted to taking all the credit for herself.
