Noble title

"What did you do?" Shana Del Heron rubs her temple with her thumb and asks in exasperation.

"Hahaha, we were just lucky." Kim Yo-han touched the back of his head and laughed unseriously.

"Lucky huh?" Shana glanced at the masked John. "How did a support group manage to obtain such high fortune? Sigh~ How do I handle this matter?"

"You tell me. We don't know how?" Kim Yo-han shrugs his shoulders. Feigning ignorance.

Hwang Myeong-suk and the others look at him weirdly. They really can't comprehend their Guildmaster's thoughts. His personality is always changing, sometimes is cold, confident, enthusiastic, etc.

From what Kim Hayan told them. Kim Yo-han in the past was colder and more serious. But this one is not. However, they shrug off his characters aside as this one is the one they were accustomed to. Nevertheless, they couldn't understand his thoughts and it made him mysterious.

"Well, it's not like I can do anything about it. If the system recognizes your achievements then I can only accept it. However, that does not mean everyone is like me. Once you present yourselves in front of the throne, there will be a lot of opposition."

"When am I gonna get my noble title?"

"In about 2 months. There will be a lot of preparation going on. In these 2 months, your group will have to learn proper etiquette before you meet the King. For now, I will have to escort your group to the Governor's residence for your registration."

"2 months... that should be alright. But Madam Shana, can you leave the etiquette to ourselves? In these 2 months, we have something to do."

"Why so?" Shana del Heron raised an eyebrow.

"About this... Mr. John here wanted to train us as his way of repaying the favor. So we can't spend the time learning etiquette as we will be in the wilderness for about some time."

"I understand. However, I will be conducting a test in one month. If you didn't learn basic etiquette in this in the given time. You will promise me, that you will follow my instructions. Is that alright?" Tapping her forefinger on the desk, Shana del Heron relinquished and then laid out her proposition.

"I didn't think you would easily accept it, Madam Shana. I thought you would oppose my decision."

"...If it were any other, I would have declined your decision. I trusted my intuition and you are more capable than I thought."

Shana Del Heron finds this young man a quite capable person. He didn't overstep his boundaries and kept respecting her. Although, he sounds very casual to her. With a bit of training, he can be formed.

Kim Yo-han saw her thoughts and rolled his eyes.

All of it is bullcrap, she has some peculiar thoughts of him. She may be hiding it behind her calm temperament. On the contrary, her mind is full of something that made Kim Yo-han retract his sense.

Well, in any case, it's all in his favor. He is indeed very lucky. If the leader was a man, his charm wouldn't work.

"The matter of bestowment of your title. You should not have too much expectation on it. You will have benefits but they will not be as grand as Nobles in this world. The title is just a title and brochure in the end. You will not have land or people, and you will not get a salary or have the same benefits as those who were conferred with the land. However, you can assign Knights and Vassals depending on your noble rank."

"In other words. There is a clear difference between a real noble and my noble title?"

"Are you disappointed?" Shana looked at his expression.

"I would be lying if I did not? But, seeing the benefits. I shouldn't be greedy. After all, If not for Mr. John we wouldn't have gained this reward."

"I admire your understanding and honesty. However, there is something you need to know." Shana nodded at his answer. She was not wrong, this young man before her did not disappoint her.

"What is it?"

"In these 2 months. It's not just for your etiquette training but you have to hide yourselves."

"Why do we need to hide ourselves when it's just etiquette training?" Hwang Myeong-suk became confused, so she asked Shana directly.

"No, it's my advice to your group. If your group had the power, I wouldn't have given you a piece of advice." Shana waved her finger.

"Saying it like this. Madam Shana, are you saying we will encounter danger?"

Shana del Heron crossed her arms and legs. Inadvertently squeezing her mounds. It's unknown if she is doing it intentionally or not.

Hwang Myeong-suk's eyes twitched seeing that. 'What a fox!'

It can't be helped. Shana Del Heron is a woman of high caliber. Her beauty may not be able to compare to Kim Hayan, but she's the second in this room.

With long golden hair tied in a whole braid. The braided hair hanging from her shoulder. Her Azure eyes were like a forest in the spring, lush and vibrant. The face of a woman yet still very youthful and smooth. Her figure does not lose out on Kim Hayan's. Large accented chest, not supple, but vigorous for her age. Having a slim curvy waist was enough to make a man kneel before her but having the hips of a seductress was enough to make man give up their everything for her.

Anyway, Shana del Heron is a married woman. She is married to a prominent noble family in Demon Suppression Fort City.

"Yes. Your group will be in danger. There is something that the system hides from you. If you look at the item brochure. It does not bind the host. What would happen if you dropped it?"

"It can be looted. But, even if it does drop the one that loots the item is not first in ranking." Hwang Myeong-suk answered.

"Myeong-suk, if I am thoughtful enough, this world obeys the rule, the strong is the winner and the loser is the bandit. Am I right Madam Shana?" Kim Yo-han moved forward as he said with a steady smile.

"You're correct. Despite being crowned by the system. What matters in this world is how strong you are. The Human continent does need weak people as we have enemies left and right. In other words, try your best not to be exposed to other people. I will also do what I can to help you."

Shana stood up from her seat and approached Kim Yo-han. Arriving close to him, Shana could see his face very closely. Her cheeks turned slightly red as her heart was beating furiously. Despite that, she still wears a calm expression.

Hwang Myeong-suk and the others did not notice the abnormality.

As for Kim Yo-han, the corner of his lips twitch. 'This woman is courageous, to have thoughts on the young man while being married... Or more like, my charm is broken! How can I charm a married woman?'

"Madam Shana, why are you so good at us? I mean, we are only low-ranked, and we are only lucky we have Mr. John here."

"...I can't answer that question. Know that, I'm no enemy and do not want to see you perish in this world." Grabbing Kim Yo-han's wrist she gently caresses it with her smooth fair hand.

"It seems I owe you a favor, Madam Shana." Kim Yo-han did not pull his arm as that would be rude. However, being stared at by a piercing glare from behind made him shiver.

"I hope you repay this favor soon." Pursing her lips, Shana said intimately. Her eyes were now attached to Kim Yo-han's face.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Leader Shana, The preparation is completed. We have received a letter from the headquarters. Otherworld Department Head, Valeria Zan Yontou wanted to meet the top 10. What is your instruction Leader?"

Ziba opened the door after knocking. Shana quickly snapped out of her mind and let go of her hand. She composed her emotions quickly 'That was dangerous... Oh Shana, why are you so unfaithful? You cannot do that. You are married.'

Blaming herself in her mind. Shana faked a cough and then noticed there were other people besides Kim Yo-han. She tried her best to ignore them.

"Don't tell anyone about them. Ziba control yourself. You may be mouthy, but you know what is better. We can't let the lives of these people be in danger. Just ignore the message from the headquarters."

"But leader, that's Valeria Zan Yontou you know?" Ziba did not mind about the first but the latter was something they had to obey as it was a militaristic order. To disobey such an order will have a big punishment.

"You don't have to worry about trivial matters. Let's go to the Governor's residence. Come with me."

Kim Yo-han and the others followed her. Ziba did not say anything. He did not know why her leader was doing reckless things. She is usually very smart but this action is not smart as it would incur troubles they shouldn't have.
