Despite being disturbed by Anna, the other noble still tries to chat with Angus. Since Angus couldn\'t get away, he also politely replied to them. Unlike the aristocrats in the capital city, these people have more chances to become influential people in the future.

Be it from their battlefield experience or the merits they get in the field, they are many times better than the spoiled noble in the capital. These people are the fundamental pillar of the Heart Kingdom.

Moreover, Angus also knows they are the true reason why the aristocratic system still exists until now. The Heart Kingdom\'s government system is very complex, but it is clear that King Leon leaned towards the people rather than the nobles.

Still, King Leon also knew the importance and benefit of the aristocratic system. One of them is the quality of human resources. Noble has better facilities and resources compared to commoners.

Therefore, it is undeniable that nobles have a higher chance of producing high-grade fighters. Although commoners still have a chance to become high-grade combatants, it is less than ten percent of all the commoner knights in the army.

Most of the high-grade knights and soldiers in the army come from the noble or were at least nurtured by the noble. Still, some nobles become too spoiled and waste, but it is a tiny setback.

The noble society in the Heart Kingdom is also cruel. They will use everything to bring down and defame each other. If the noble didn\'t have a strong heart and show their worth, they would soon lose their noble position.

At the same time, King Leon will promote any notable soldier and grant them nobility to replace any waste noble. For the stability and safety of the kingdom, Angus agreed with King Leon\'s idea.

Although he didn\'t want to meddle with politics and government, he is still part of the Heart Kingdom and lives in it. Hence, he still must abide by some rules and norms to avoid unnecessary conflict.

Unfortunately, fame not only gathers popularity but also hatred. Angus notices a few young nobles staying silent and even making a disgusted face at Anna.

Observing their reaction, Angus found few of them bore negative feelings toward him and didn\'t like Anna\'s presence among them.

The dining area is designed to show the hierarchy of everyone. All the nobles are placed at a long rectangular table, with the highest rank seat at the head table.

This is to ascertain the army\'s commander\'s authority and chain of command. Therefore, any low noble or less famed one will be seated far from them. It is clear they will feel dissatisfied with Anna, who shouldn\'t be sitting near the head position.

\'At least they are seated far from us to make a direct confrontation. I don\'t want to know what kind of stupid thing they will do and create more commotion.\' thought Angus.

Although Angus is calm and has good control over his emotions, he knows he could become reckless and act without thinking when it involves Jayna and Anna. This is his unique trait that comes from his past life.

During his past life, whenever it related to his young brother Victor, he would become blind and act without thinking too much.

"Hmm… This makes me curious. But, who is the young lady here?" asked Viscount Verner to Brigida, who was sitting beside Anna.

Before Brigida could answer, "She is Brigida Nergal." replied the Duchess Amberblaze.

"Nergal?!" replied Viscount Verner.

The other noble also chats with the others in confusion. Some even show hostility towards Brigida.

Ignoring everyone\'s reaction, "Some of you may already know her as the number one prodigy of Nergal. But you don\'t need to worry. She is already one of us." replied the Duchess.

"This.. Duchess Amberblaze, can we trust her?" asked Viscount Verner.

"Of course not. But she is already completely bound to these three brats. So, there is nothing to worry about." said the Duchess.

"Bound?! Can you expla..?" asked another noble before stopping by the other from the side.

"Stop talking!! Did you want to get killed?!" whispered the noble from the side.

The Duchess didn\'t reply and only gave the noble a sharp glare before continuing her eating. At this moment, they remember the rumor about the terrifying Crimson Flash. Crimson Flash is not only famous in the surrounding kingdom but also in the noble circle.

Besides the Crimson Flash, she also has other nicknames. She is often called the noble slayer. She is famed for beheading the incompetent low noble that is making trouble for her. The noble head that died under her greatsword was even higher than the noble killed by King Leon.

Some ridiculous rumors even said they were competing to get a higher number of kills with their tendency to kill nobles on the spot.

"Anyway, you don\'t need to worry about her. Just focus on your task and keep vigilance on Nergal attack." said Duchess Amberblaze.

After that, everyone had their meal in silence. *BLURPP* Suddenly, Anna releases a loud burping sound from her mouth.

"Anna, that\'s rude!! It\'s a bad habit." lectured Jayna.

"*Yawn* Big sis, Anna is sleepy." said Anna with a drowsy expression.

Jayna stops lecturing Anna and embraces her. She let Anna sleep on her arm like a baby while rubbing her head.

"Then, we will go first." said Angus to excuse themself.

"Sure. Just make sure to visit the facility later." replied the Duchess.

Leaving the dining area, Angus and the others go towards their room. After ensuring Anna sleeps peacefully while hugging her fluffy ball, Angus leaves the room and goes towards a secluded basement area. During the walk, he occasionally hears an engine and hammering sound.

After walking through a series of barriers, Angus finds a large room filled with many advanced magic tools.

"Ohh… Angus, you are finally here." called Master Benjamin.

"Long time no see, Master Ben. Where is Lily?" greeted Angus back.

"She is… collecting some samples outside." said Master Benjamin with a helpless expression.

"Outside?! Don\'t tell me she is with the marching army?" replied Angus.

"Yeah. She is too obsessed with fighting. It\'s my fault. I shouldn\'t leave her alone all those years." said Master Benjamin with a gloomy tone.

"Nonsense. She just loves fighting. Besides, you don\'t need to worry about her. Even King Andvari will have trouble handling her speed." said Angus.

"You are right. Anyway, you should look at this." said Master Benjamin while showing some research documents.

Angus finds a giant tentacle beast picture and some information about it inside the document. This is the information about the unknown seventh-grade tentacle beast that Angus met not long ago.

​ Master Benjamin and some beast experts are tasked to identify the beast to ensure the safety of their army. Unfortunately, they still couldn\'t identify the beast, even with Benjamin\'s vast knowledge.

On the other hand, they are sure the beast is no longer in the Humnia Grassland after scanning the whole area. Some experts theorized the tentacle beast is attracted to the Krugguar Emperor, who came into the area not too long ago.

"Is there no record of such a beast? Like legends, myths, or something?" asked Angus.

"No. At least not in this region. We are not sure about other regions or places. However, I think this beast is bigger than we thought." said Master Benjamin before showing a hologram picture.

"This…" replied Angus in surprise at the scale of the tentacle beast.

"If we assume the beast\'s real appearance is similar to the baby octopus that you find, the beast should be about this big." said Master Benjamin while showing the beast\'s actual appearance underground.

"It\'s.. It\'s bigger than Humnia Grassland?! Is that even possible?" asked Angus.

"It is. In ancient times, some colossal beasts could be found by chance. Some of them are often mistaken for mountains or something similar. Some beasts couldn\'t be described as they are too big for people to get a clear picture." replied Master Benjamin.

"I see… So, what attracted this monster to make a sudden appearance? I don\'t believe such a beast will let its baby run around casually without reason here." asked Angus.

"I am not sure either. Now, we could only conclude like our previous conclusion. In fact, the Beast and Monster have a unique relationship. Some of them even form a sort of symbiosis relation despite still being mindless low grades." explained Master Benjamin.

"Perhaps it has some kind of relation with Krugguar species or something." added Master Benjamin.

"I see… So, is there anything I could help with?" asked Angus.

"Yes. Currently, we tried to find any clues and information about this beast from all the traces it left behind in the Humnia Grassland. Because of its massive scale, we created new magic tools to help us. We could use some of your help here." said Master Benjamin.

"Sure." replied Angus before approaching the other crafter and smither.

Despite it being quite late, they didn\'t need to worry about lack of sleep. Most of them have a lot of stamina and high-grade level. The research team often works for a few days straight without sleeping. Angus also already sleeps during the day before playing in the swimming pool.
