Hellmode ~A Hardcore Gamer Becomes Peerless in Another World with Retro Game Settings~

The nobles watched with caught breaths as the cardinal, an important person in Elmea's Church, sat on a chair next to the king's throne.

After the cardinal was seated, the members of royalty entered the room.

They were all the children with a chance at inheriting the throne.

Including Princess Leirana, who was good friends with Cecile's brother Thomas.

(I guess they're here to learn how such rewards are handed out.)

Some of them were really young, but even they could learn something.

Only one of them would become the next ruler, but the rest would still become entitled to large territories, with nobles and people to manage.

Lastly came Inbuel and his queen, with his hair swept back and looking like the antagonist or villain in a western film.

"Let's begin this ceremony then. There's an esteemed visitor from Elmea's Church amongst us, but it's customary to reward those who served our country first. Rodan, please step forward."

The Prime Minister announced and the cardinal bowed slightly.

He would wait for his turn.

Rodan would be rewarded first, and the matter with the Evil Cult would have to wait.

But the fact that they had to inform the cardinal of that showed just how much authority he had.

"Y-yes."

Rodan had gotten too absorbed in the sight of it all, so he was slightly distressed.

But no one blamed him.

This happened almost every time a commoner was surrounded by royalty and nobles like that.

Allen paid special attention to Rodan's movements, so he could relay them in detail to Theresia, Mash, and Muras.

Rodan walked forward a bit and nervously knelt down, looking at the Prime Minister for approval. The Prime Minister forced a cough, indicating it was alright.

"Alright, Rodan. You were born in Grandvelle's territory, where you displayed courage and loyalty, greatly serving Kurena Village, and Rodan Village, of which you became chief. Your efforts have been recognized, and you shall be entitled to your own land."

(Oh?! So dad is getting knighted then?)

After that, the Prime Minister detailed more of Rodan's life and work.

Rodan had started working for his village at an early age, risking his life hunting boar.

Eventually he rounded up more people from the village, producing large amounts of Great Boar meat every year.

Viscount Grandvelle eventually noticed his leadership talent, appointing him as a new village's chief.

Only a few years passed after that, and the new village was already fully developed and active.

"What, in just a few years? Is that even possible?"

"He hunted 30 boars every year?"

"So Allen's father was also a hero."

(Hm? Viscount Grandvelle bought all that boar meat though.)

The nobles started talking with each other.

Those who owned land felt like Rodan's speed was extraordinary.

Meanwhile Allen began thinking about the boar meat Rodan gathered in the village.

The taxes on developing villages were still active, so there was no real reason to hunt so much.

For those in the capital, that would look like they were willingly supporting Grandvelle with everything they had.

The Prime Minister continued talking.
