Lance....Earl?
Lance thought he had read it wrong, so he recited it word by word in his heart a few times and confirmed it, he didn't read it wrong—somehow, without doing anything, he had inexplicably become an earl in a human kingdom.
Oh, and he might have also gained the notorious reputation of being a traitor. It's like a dragon getting hit by a pot while just sitting at home. He never dreamed that someone as pure and honest as him would one day be labeled with such infamy.
The key point was, he hadn't issued any commands to the viscounts.
He had left the Red Maple Kingdom five or six years ago. Normally, having been away for so long, his noble title might have been annulled by some more influential nobles of the kingdom.
He was prepared for that possibility, but as it turned out, in all this time, not only had his noble title not been revoked by those minor nobles of the Human World, but it had also been upgraded to that of an earl…
This was somewhat preposterous.
