Chapter 3363
The Duke and the Mayors from the other cities had their eyes on Darryl after Albert commented.
‘This guy is dressed in ordinary clothes, what ability does he have to defend Sunshine City twice in a row?’ they
wondered.
“Albert, I think you might be exaggerating Darren’s achievement. Darren was indeed part of the last two battles
that Sunshine city managed to avoid, but I thinkyou’re giving him too much credit,” Jameson stood and said
disapprovingly.
Then, he explained the situation to everyone present as he threw Darryl glances filled with disdain and contempt.
‘This guy was just lucky. What can he possibly achieve?’
The Duke and the others present rose into a ruckus when they heard the details.
‘That person with the strength of the saint king killed Winson, who had the strength of a saint honor?’ they

He had also strategized to station the troops on the hillside and defeated hundreds of
thousands of joint armies effortlessly.
Darryl cracked a faint smile when he sensed the attention on him.
“Your Majesty, Mayor Jameson is right; we have to thank all the garrison soldiers in
Sunshine City for their efforts in defending the city twice. I was just lucky to be part of it,”
he said to the Duke.
Darryl did not bother to explain because he never thought of claiming any reward. After
all, it was hard to explain the Geomancy of Yin Yang to people.
Albert was a little anxious and felt Jameson’s statement was unfair to Darryl. “Mister-”
However, he was interrupted by Darryl’s gaze as soon as he started to speak.
Finally, the Duke reacted. He looked at Darryl with a smile and nodded. "Ha-ha-ha! No
matter what the truth is, you have contributed to defending Sunshine city!"
The truth was, the Duke could not see anything special about Darryl, but he trusted Albert
very much. He knew Darryl was talented if Albert recommended him.
"Pour Mister Darren a glass of wine!" the Duke said to a maid next to him.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The maid hurried over and poured Darryl a glass of wine.
The Duke looked at Darryl with a smile. "Now that Day Rise Principality is committed to
reuniting all the principalities; we need good people. Albert has high praises for you. Ĩ
declare that from now on, you will be bestowed the title of a Knight."
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the hall. Albert and Reese were beaming as they were
happy for Darryl! However, Jameson and the other Mayors were shocked and glared at
Darryl.
It was a huge honor for a commoner to be drinking wine with the Duke in the palace hall. Now the Duke has

‘What’s so great about this guy?’ they wondered.
Anyone else would be overjoyed to receive the reward, but not Darryl.
Darryl wore a calm expression and smiled at the Duke. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He never wanted to be a Knight, but it would be disrespectful to the Duke if he refused the title bestowed upon
him.
‘What?’ Jameson and the other mayors were startled to hear Darryl’s curt response. They were shocked and
furious.
They thought that Darren was very rude. His Majesty made Darryl a Knight, but he could not be bothered to even
kneel before the Duke and give thanks; he simply remained seated. What an unruly person!
The Duke also frowned at Darryl’s reaction, but he was in a good mood that day so, he let it go.
