Chapter 802

Shien's return was undoubtedly the most sensational news to the Borztutt Family.

This was because Shien was the head of the Borztutt Family, a bona fide Earl of the Kingdom.

The master's return, no matter in which noble family, would be a sensational event.

If this person was the fiancé of Her Royal Highness the Kingdom's princess, had an engagement with one of the top Dragon Demons, and was even a Hero who had not been seen for a thousand years, and had the support of both the Protoss and the Demons, it would be even more sensational.

Even though Sean had returned in a high-profile manner during the day, and the people in Borztutt's family had already known about it and were already excited about it, when Sean really returned home, the hustle and bustle in the house was still comparable to a market.

At this moment, countless maids, servants, and even knights gathered at the entrance and welcomed Shien's return with loud cheers.

Shien was still holding Lilith's hand and You Lin's hand. Vivian, Lily, Tierre, Lucia, and the rest followed beside him as they walked on the main road to the main residence.

Along the way, the maids, servants, and knights looked at him with excitement, admiration, and worship. He could not help but rub his nose.

"Why didn't I realize that they liked me so much before?"

Shien blurted out.

Beside him, the young ladies who were accompanying him looked at each other, and then they could not help but laugh.

"It's not that they don't like you, it's just that you haven't realized it." Vivian's voice was gentle and kind as usual. She said to Shien softly, "You are the future star of the Kingdom. There are actually many young people who admire you, but those who entered the Borztutt Family at that time did not have the heart to do so."

After all, at the beginning, the Borztutt Family only had Shien and Vivian's team. At most, there was Ai Yi, and no one else.

The first batch of maids and servants were roped in by La Xia from outside.

They were of high quality and had extraordinary looks. Shien did not know how La Xia managed to find such a batch of excellent maids and servants to work in the Borztutt Family willingly. The only thing he was sure of was that compared to him, those maids and servants admired La Xia more.

There was no need to doubt his elder sister's reputation. At that time, almost all the popularity of the Borztutt Family was focused on her. The maids and servants could not bear to part with La Xia. How could they possibly care about Shien?

But it was different now.

Now, Porztutt's family was no longer just the original batch of maids and servants. Sean's status was also different from before.

Now, the Borztutt Family did not only have the first batch of maids and servants, but Shien's status was also different.

"I" Shien had been holding back for a long time.. Sean said strangely, "And there's also a group of knights. I clearly haven't established a private group of knights."

As a noble of the kingdom, regardless of whether it was the duke with the highest rank or the baron with the lowest rank, they all had the right to establish their own private army of knights.

As a count of the kingdom, Shien naturally had the right to do so. However, he felt that he did not need it, which was why he did not establish one.

But now, not only did the number of maids and servants increase, but there were also fully-armored knights lined up at the side, as though they were obedient to him.

This puzzled Shien.

Lily rolled her eyes at Kieran's words.

"You still have the cheek to say that?" Lily snapped, "It's because you were slacking off and didn't make sufficient preparations that we've been so busy with these matters."

Upon hearing this, Sean blinked his eyes.

How can you blame me?

Vivian seemed to see that Sean was at a loss, so she explained.

"After your identity as a hero was exposed, the Borztutt Family became the focus of all the forces in the human world. It attracted the attention of many."

The reappearance of the Hero was a huge matter in the entire Omni Pottanson, let alone in the Human Realm and the Human Race.

When the world found out that the current hero was Count Borztutt of the kingdom, how could the Borztutt Family not become the target of public criticism?

Therefore, during the period when Sean's identity was exposed, the Porztutt Family had indeed been targeted by many people with ulterior motives.

"There are people who want to meet you, but they can't find you, so they can only look here.

"There are people who want to find out if this matter is true or not. This has made things difficult for the Borztutt Family.

"There are also people with ulterior motives. They want to find something valuable from the hero's home, or they want to manipulate this place to threaten you or make use of you.

"There are even people from the Old Demons who are spying on you and trying to invade the Borztutt Family."

Vivian's words caused Shien's expression to change.

"The Old Demon Race actually sent people to invade this place?"

Shien frowned, and his expression turned cold. Even his mana fluctuated, causing the surrounding temperature to drop.

Those damned flies …

Shien couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Not to mention Shien, even You Lin was furious.

"If I were still here, would those scum dare to be so impudent?"

You Lin was furious.

"Yes, what a bunch of scum."

Shien's expression turned colder.

Vivian and the rest felt a chill in their hearts as they looked at Shien, and they instinctively shuddered.

"Mister Shien …?"

Lumia spoke in a timid and frightened voice.

"Don't worry." Tierre was no longer silent, and she no longer acted as if this had nothing to do with her. She reached out and held Shien's hand, saying, "I've already dealt with them."

This sentence successfully calmed Shien down.

Shien tightened his grip on Tierre's hand and took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry."

Sean suppressed the fluctuations in his emotions and calmed his mana. His slightly cold face returned to its original state, and he smiled bitterly at the girls.

"It's alright, I understand."

Vivian comforted him gently, but she was feeling a little emotional.

After two months, this man seemed to have become stronger again.

Lumia seemed to be thinking the same. She looked at Shien with a faint admiration that others couldn't see.

As for Lily, she was even more speechless.

To her, Sean was still the new adventurer who had just left Lamegion half a year ago and headed for the Royal City.

Although Lily had already seen through Shien's identity at that time, and she and Vivian had provided Shien with many cover and conveniences, she also learned of Shien's various feats and achievements through various channels. She was already mentally prepared for Shien's greatness, but when she saw Shien face to face, she was still shocked.

(I'm really no longer that newbie adventurer who doesn't know anything.)

Lily was filled with emotions.

Unaware of Lily's emotions, Shien returned to his usual self and said, "In other words, because the Borztutt family encountered many security issues, you guys helped to form the guards and knights?"

"In other words, it's because Borztutt's family has encountered a lot of problems related to their safety that you guys helped to form the guards and knights?"

"That's right."

Lily snapped out of her daze. She nodded and said, "Originally, without your permission, no one had the right to form a knight regiment in your name. However, after we reported this matter to Her Highness Rosie, Her Highness used the name of your fiancée to request special privileges from the kingdom." Lily also came back to her senses. She nodded and said, "Originally, without the permission of you, the head of the family, no one has the right to form a knight regiment in your name. However, after we reported this matter to Her Highness Rosie, Her Highness obtained special privileges from the kingdom in the name of your fiancée."

Hence, Vivian and the rest were able to recruit knights and guards in the name of the Porztutt Family and Sean, forming the Porztutt Family's exclusive private knight group.

"Can they be trusted?"

Shien didn't have any objections, but he was worried about this matter.

He didn't want to form a knight regiment. Firstly, he didn't think it was necessary. Secondly, he didn't want to have some crooked people in his family.

Ever since he became famous, be it before or after his identity as a hero was exposed, he had always been in the eye of the storm.

Moreover, he had an extraordinary background, and there were definitely countless people with ulterior motives.

If he were to recruit people randomly, it would be inevitable that others would take advantage of the situation and plant informants or assassins in his family.

This was definitely not what Shien wanted to see.

Naturally, Vivian and the others understood this.

"Don't worry." Vivian smiled sweetly and said to Shien, "Those knights were brought here by Lily. They're absolutely safe."

"Is that so?" Shien was slightly startled and looked at Lily.

"Why do you think I'm here as your agent?" Lily spread her hands and said, "Firstly, because of Her Highness Rosie's entrustment, and secondly, because that person in my family also wants to do something for you."

Lily was referring to her father, the patriarch of the Lazahad family.

The patriarch was very friendly to Shien and the others. As early as when Shien first came to the capital, he had taken good care of them. He was a very amiable and trustworthy person.

He had also helped Shien a lot. For example, when Shien first entered the palace, the Duke of the Sterling family had hindered him in various ways, and Lily's father had supported him so that he wouldn't have to fight alone.

Because of this, Shien had a very good impression of the patriarch of the Lazahad family.

In the end, Lily, who had just returned to the capital, was entrusted with an important task. Not only did she take over the position of acting president of the Adventurers Guild headquarters, but she also became the representative of the Porztutt family.

"Vivian and the rest ultimately lacked the means and brains to deal with the methods of the nobles. They lived here as your friends in the Porztutt family. They wanted to become the representative of the Porztutt family, build a guard system, and form a group of knights, but they were ultimately unable to do so."

Lily said.

"So, I was appointed by Her Highness and invited by Vivian to help you run errands."

At this point, Lily's tone inevitably carried a hint of complaint, causing Shien's expression to become resentful.

Who asked him to not be very competent as the head of the family?

He could only be blamed.
