My Kingdom Building Done Right!-Chapter 64: The Birth Of A Tyrant [Part 2]
Leone didn’t want the atmosphere to be too serious, so he played a little prank. But, seeing that Kael refused to make his vow, he decided to just continue with the ceremony.
"Rise, Kael of the Riverfang Tribe. From this day forth, we are bound not by a Master, and Servant relationship, but of trust, hope, and the promise of a better future. Together with the Riverfang Tribe, we will build something worth fighting for."
The moment Kael rose up, a light shone out from Daedalus’ pages, and bathed the chieftain in a radiant light.
A second later, rows of text appeared in front of Leone, which was something that the young man expected to happen.
After all, this wasn’t the first time such a scene happened when he made someone his vassal.

Description: The Cunning Chieftain of the Riverfang Tribe who pledged himself as Leone Frontera’s Vassal. Unlike warriors who conquer through brute force, Kael rules the battlefield with calculated precision, guiding the flow of combat as if it were a river bending to his will.
Having awakened as a Bloodriver Tyrant, he has transcended the limits of ordinary shamans, gaining dominion over both water and blood. Those caught within his current are dragged toward an inevitable end.

—————
"Oh sh*t he’s busted..." Leone muttered.
For a brief moment, the young man wondered if giving Kael this kind of powerful ability was a good thing, or not.
While Ulric dominated the frontlines of the battlefield, Kael would definitely terrorize them from the rear by using water spells, as well as the very blood of his enemies to his advantage.
As if that wasn’t enough, there was now some kind of deadly-looking red water serpent, floating beside the Chieftain of the Riverfang Tribe.
It was at least three-meters long, making Leone feel a little fearful because it was flicking its tongue in his direction as if it wanted to eat him!

"Oh sh*t this snake is also busted," Leone muttered a second time after seeing the Bloodriver Serpent’s stats.
Unlike the Dire Bear, Fury, who served as a tank, the Bloodriver Serpent was a true killing machine that slithered in the battlefield to kill its prey with its venomous bite.
But, there was one more thing that caught his attention. Just like Ulric, Kael now looked ten years younger!
With youth, power, and a deadly serpent by his side, the chieftain of the Riverfang Tribe received a true "glow up" from becoming Leone’s vassal.
"Thank you very much for bestowing such precious gifts to me, Great Chieftain," Kael once again knelt towards Leone. "I swear to serve you loyally until I draw my last breath."
Leone felt genuinely relieved because this dangerous man was his vassal, and not his enemy.
"Thank you, Kael." Leone nodded. "Now, please stand beside your peers."
Kael rose and stood beside Ulric, unable to hide the happiness on his face.
Leone then shifted his attention to Jason. After taking a quick look at the vassal candidates in Daedalus’ pages, he saw Jason’s name on it.
Right now, the chieftain of the Black Wolf Tribe’s favorability rating was 100%.
Because of this, Leone decided to also make Jason his vassal, so that the Black Wolf Tribe would officially become part of their alliance.
"Jason, do you wish to become my vassal?" Leone asked, making everyone look at the young man with great expectations.
The members of the Black Wolf Tribe looked at their chieftain, who slowly stood up from his seat, and walked towards the stage.
But, instead of going up at it, he knelt outside of it, facing Leone with a calm gaze.
"I am honored to become your vassal. However, there is something I would like to say to you, Leone Frontera," Jason said.
"Speak," Leone replied.
For some reason, he felt that something was wrong. Jason’s determined look made him feel anxious, which he didn’t expect to feel in today’s ceremony.
One by one, the members of the Black Wolf Tribe left their seats, and knelt behind their leader, bowing their heads to Leone as a sign of submission.
Ulric, and Kael glanced at each other as if wanting to know if they had played a part in this sudden turn of events.
Seeing that both of them looked just as surprised as Leone made them realize that this was probably Jason’s doing.
"From here onwards, we of the Black Wolf Tribe, swear our fealty towards Leone Frontra, treating him as our Great Chieftain," Jason declared. "From this moment onwards, we shed our tribe name, and wish to become part of Sir Leone’s tribe."
"W-What?!" Leone’s eyes widened in shock because he didn’t understand what was happening. "But, I have no tribe?"
"You’re right," Jason replied. "But now, you do. We will become your first official tribe members, Great Chieftain!"
"""Great Chieftain!"""
All the members of the Black Wolf Tribe bowed, making Kael almost drop the staff in his hand.
’This kid...’ Kael thought. ’He’s more daring than I thought.’
Even Ulric’s expression turned solemn after hearing Jason’s declaration.
The Black Wolf Tribe was practically shedding off their tribe’s name, similar to what weaker tribes do when they merge with a stronger tribe.
However, they didn’t merge with the Alborin Tribe, nor the Riverfang Tribe. They wished to officially become the tribe member of Leone’s tribe, only taking orders from their one, and only, Great Chieftain!
