Nobles of the East Coast not only emphasized prosperity and meticulousness but also pursued decency.
To obtain something out of mere words was a merchant's behavior, despised by all nobles.
Just like Titon.
Having been treated courteously by the Kledos Family and upon learning that it was a 'Millennial Family,' Titon's heart had already undergone tremendous change.
Especially the latter, which even made the butler harbour thoughts of reaching beyond his station.
In the face of such aspirations, the Harold Family naturally had to make a gesture.
According to the rules among the nobility of South County, seeking such patronage required at least a third of one's estate or more to establish a corresponding cooperation.
But a third of the Harold Family's estate...
That must be a joke.
Titon didn't want Lord Kledos before him to mistakenly think that the Harold Family was insulting the Kledos Family.
The Harold Family was simply too poor.
