Bain was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it carefully. Shaking his head, he said, "My lord, not at all. The moment you ennobled me, I was ecstatic beyond words, but now… if I may be blunt, I don't feel any different than I did before."
Henry laughed heartily and clapped Bain on the shoulder. "Hahaha, that's exactly right, Bain! It's enough just to have the honor of nobility. Don't dwell on it, or it will make you lose your way and gradually sap your strength."
Bain nodded solemnly. He believed that Baron Nurulan, Baron Sura, and even Count John had all lost their way, forfeiting their strength and becoming blinded by the honor and titles of nobility.
Bain suddenly pointed in a direction and said with a smile, "Hey, my lord, these soldiers are certainly full of life!"
Elsewhere, several soldiers were arm-wrestling. Their muscles were taut and their veins bulged as the men beside them roared their encouragement, creating an exceptionally lively atmosphere.
