Chapter 0257: Sky Knight's Training Journal (Second Update)

Both sons were no good.

Viscount Roland, who had the appearance of a middle-aged uncle, was no genius either. As a follower of Marquis Merlin and married to Marquis Merlin's daughter, one would think he had access to plenty of resources. Yet, after all these years, he remained merely an Elite Earth Knight.

He had no hope of being promoted to an earl.

Just as one cannot be a Grand Duke without being a Dragon Knight, one cannot be an earl without being a Sky Knight. However, one could have a hereditary right for three generations, which means that if an earl's descendant is not a Sky Knight, they can still inherit the earldom, but if they fail to produce a Sky Knight after three generations, then, unfortunately, they must be demoted.

Originally, there was also the rule that one cannot be ennobled as a baron without being an Earth Knight.
