Part 2

Was this a case of returning favors with spite?

I was at the academy, where classes were going to resume tomorrow.

After being able to come back in time and returning to my room within the boys’ dorms, I clutched a letter sent from the royal palace.

“Brad, Greg──I see, did they hate me that much?”

The grip I held with my trembling hand created a crease in the letter.

It said that I had been allowed to be “promoted to the lower fifth rank”.

My upper sixth rank within the royal court had risen one step further and upgraded to the lower fifth rank.

The suppression of the sky pirates had been credited to Brad and Greg, so that couldn’t be the reason. There was also no way that it could be because of me helping them reconcile with their households. ──I couldn’t believe it.

“Who’s the person pulling the strings here? I, I can’t allow this to happen. Why am I in the lower fifth rank? My father is in the lower sixth rank, so what’s going to happen now that I’m two steps above him?!”

Was being promoted something to be delighted about?

Incorrect. At the very least, I wasn’t delighted by it.

Being promoted meant new responsibilities that corresponded with it.

I had wanted to confine myself within my territory and live carefree, but I didn’t know what to do now that I had been promoted.

With a high enough royal court rank, one would get summoned many times.

I didn’t want to get involved with the royal palace, so I had assisted those two. Now I was being promoted without even knowing.

Normally, one would have to build up more achievements before being promoted by the royal palace. With rigorous checks on territory size, the royal palace was strict when it came to raising someone’s rank.

While I was resentful of this unreasonable treatment, Luxon swerved to my behind and peeked at the letter.

[I never thought you would get promoted. You’re really good at moving outside of my expectations, Master.]

“What do you mean by that?! I didn’t think I would get promoted either! There wasn’t anything to promote me for at all! There’s going to be a whole bunch of people who want to know how I got promoted!”

In the first place, it was very difficult to get promoted to the sixth or fifth rank. It was impossible to get promoted by suppressing sky pirates just once.

It was necessary to perform large achievements, like doing massive deeds on the battlefield or serving for many years.

So why was I promoted?! Other people should have been promoted instead!

While I was making a clamor by myself, I heard a knocking sound.

When I opened the door, a staff member of the boys’ dorms stood there while nervous. The staff member was a woman, and she bowed her head in front of me.

“Baron Baltfault. A L, letter and a gift have arrived.”

“A Letter and a gift?”

“R, right. We can’t deliver them to your room, so they’ve been arranged outside.”

“Outside?”

Once the staff member led the way to the gift, there stood an air bike.
