Within the hall, Chen Heng calmly sat there, holding an old book in his hands.
In front of him, Baron Kaisen sat there by himself as he ate. Looking at Chen Heng like this, he thought to himself.
"Do you know why I've called you here?"
After a moment, he looked at Chen Heng and put down the utensils in his hands as he slowly spoke.
"What is it for?"
Chen Heng asked respectfully as he put down the book in his hands.
"The Kutu Royal Academy's new round of recruitment is about to begin."
Looking at Chen Heng, Kaisen's expression was complicated as he said, "I just happen to have a spot that I want you to take a look at.
Are you willing? "
Hearing this, Chen Heng felt quite surprised.
The Kutu Royal Academy was the best academy in the Kutu Principality. It was run by the Kutu royal family, and it had been the best place to study for hundreds of years.
An academy like this was incredibly prestigious, and it was incredibly difficult for ordinary commoners to enter.
Carlson must have spent a lot of effort to get his hands on this spot.
"He wants to transfer me away?"
Hearing Baron Kaisen's words, Chen Heng instinctively lowered his head and started to think about his gains and losses.
His first reaction was that Baron Kaisen wanted to transfer him away to pave the way for Ormando to inherit the title.
This was not without reason.
Over the past half a year, because of Chen Heng's performance, many people had said good things about him, and many people had tried to convince Baron Kaisen to let Chen Heng inherit this territory.
As for Baron Kaisen, he had been quite hesitant about this for quite some time.
In terms of feelings, Chen Heng was his favorite child, and he had liked him since he was young.
In terms of ability, learning, and popularity, Chen Heng's performance completely surpassed Ormando's.
The only flaw was that he was not the eldest son.
As such, Baron Kaisen had felt quite conflicted many times, but he had not been able to make a decision.
Right now, Chen Heng could not help but think to himself.
However, on the surface, he did not hesitate at all and directly said, "I'm willing."
No matter what Baron Kaisen was planning, from how Chen Heng saw it, it did not matter.
The moment he had discovered that he had Knight talent, Baron Kaisen's successor had already been decided.
One was Chen Heng, who had Knight talent and the legacy of a Knight, and could become a Knight in the future. The other was Ormando, who was just an ordinary person. The difference was quite clear.
As long as Baron Kaisen knew about this and was not an idiot, he would know what to do.
In actuality, by now, Baron Kaisen's own opinion was not very important.
After all, in this world, one's fists decided everything.
Over the past half a year, Chen Heng had used Jit and the other veterans to win over many guards and officials by Carlson's side.
From the guards to the people by Baron Kaisen's side, all of them praised Chen Heng and supported him greatly.
Under such circumstances, adding on Chen Heng's martial strength, it was enough to decide many things.
Baron Kaisen's opinion was not as important to Chen Heng as it was in the past.
Of course, even so, it would be better if he could take over normally.
Taking over with martial strength would be great, but it would also bring shame to his reputation, which would not be beneficial to his future development.
As such, he still had to pretend.
For now, Chen Heng had to pretend to be a good son.
Sitting there and looking at how obedient Chen Heng was, Baron Kaisen lightly sighed and said, "I paid a great price to obtain this opportunity.
"After you go in, make sure to be careful and get to know some people who will be useful to you in the future."
He spoke softly and cautiously.
Hearing his words, Chen Heng's emotions became clearer, and he roughly understood what Baron Kaisen was thinking.
After his performance over the past half a year, Baron Kaisen was most likely leaning towards Chen Heng.
Otherwise, he would have given this opportunity to his eldest son, Ormando, and not Chen Heng.
Of course, this was both an opportunity and a test.
If Chen Heng performed well in this trip to the Kutu Royal City, it would be enough for Baron Kaisen to make up his mind.
However, if he did not perform well, the result would be completely different.
Chen Heng instantly understood all of this, but he maintained a bright smile on his face. That smile was incredibly sincere, and he looked like a child earnestly listening to his father's teachings.
Not too far away, Butler White was wearing a coarse robe. Looking at this scene of a loving father and a filial son, he could not help but smile.
At that moment, Chen Heng seemed to sense his gaze and turned to smile at White, seeming quite friendly.
White felt quite surprised and nodded at Chen Heng before turning and leaving to take care of his own matters.
In front of him, Baron Kaisen was still speaking.
Looking at Chen Heng, he continuously spoke about his past experiences so that Chen Heng could use them as reference.
"You can head out in three days."
Finally, he looked at Chen Heng and lightly sighed, "When the time comes, I'll personally send you off."
"Very well."
Chen Heng smiled and nodded before continuing to chat with Baron Kaisen.
After chatting for a while, Chen Heng got up and left.
After leaving Baron Kaisen's hall, Chen Heng turned and walked out.
Not too long later, he came to his room.
The room was quite spacious, and there were hoarse sounds coming from within; someone was cleaning inside.
Chen Heng opened the door and looked inside. Within the room, there was a young woman in gray standing there, holding a broom and diligently cleaning.
This was Tina. Over the past half a year, she had become someone by Chen Heng's side, and she only served him.
"You came so early?"
After walking to the door, Chen Heng smiled and instinctively stretched out his hand and patted Tina's head, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet …"
Looking at Chen Heng, Tina lowered her head, "Why did you suddenly come in?"
"I saw that you were busy, so I didn't want to disturb you."
Chen Heng smiled and said, "Go and rest for a while."
Tina looked at Chen Heng and his handsome face, her gaze became a bit hazy, but she still obeyed and silently left.
