Chapter 188:
Lieutenant Frayzer completed the handover with another intelligence officer who came to take over at Pioneer Fortress, then left his barracks with a relaxed face, carrying his luggage that he had packed more than ten days ago.
From today, he will enjoy his first vacation since the end of the war.
Although the originally promised three-month vacation was reduced to two months, the lieutenant had no complaints. Fulfilling one’s duty against the backdrop of the impending Black Disaster is an honorable thing. Moreover, as His Majesty’s eyes and ears and the heir to the Carpe family, he must accomplish something to prove that his success does not rely on his noble birth.
But even someone as upright as Lieutenant Frayzer had to admit that his smooth military career was indeed largely due to his surname.
The Carpe family was a prestigious family in the Anju region even during the Silan Kingdom era!
Relying on Frayzer’s grandfather’s precise bet in middle age, they became a powerful force in the royalist party. When the reform of the Silan Kingdom began, they had already built factories in the country. His father also hitched a ride on King Louis’ carriage and monopolized the supply of the Royal Guard’s logistics for a period of time.
After the establishment of the Goldflower Kingdom, King Louis’ generous rewards made the already powerful Carpe family even more of a “pillar of the nation”.
An ancient heritage, an open-minded education, plus a constant influx of money, Lieutenant Frayzer was born into such a family background.
But fate played a joke on the Carpe family. Among the children born in his generation, whether in the main branch or important side branches, he was the only boy. Being such a “sole seedling” meant he was undoubtedly confirmed as the family heir from infancy.
