Lady of the Lord From the East - Chapter 152

The knight promotion competition has made Sardinson Castle lively for a long time. All the knight attendants have the opportunity to participate, and they have performed well. The final result is very satisfactory.

This is also their good luck. When Felix’s men are short of manpower, otherwise, in general, if such a competition is held, only the top few will be able to get promotion opportunities, rather than the current situation where one hundred and twenty There are sixty knight attendants, all of whom were successfully promoted to knights.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that the remaining people who have not been promoted have performed poorly. On the contrary, they are all very good, but they are not as bright as those in front, but overall, they are still impressive.

Felix’s selection of knights this time is mainly to fill Slot’s defense force, but considering that Slot’s population is sparse now, and if the knight order promotes all 120 knight attendants to full knights at one time, and then dispatches them In the past, it was inevitable that there would be insufficient staff on Satinson’s side, which would affect the normal operation of Satinson, so he only selected some knight attendants to become knights, and was ready to be transferred to Thrott County after the award ceremony.

The selected knight attendants are very happy. After the official promotion, it not only means that they have become full-fledged knights, but also means that they can have their own fiefs.

Although it was a pity that the knight attendant was not selected, he was not discouraged. Instead, he planned to train harder and wait for the next opportunity for promotion. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that their Count needed more subordinates, and now it is only Slotner. The side has not been built, so only a part of the knights were dispatched, and then the manpower must be increased.

Moreover, only half of Sloot is in the hands of Lord Count now, so can the other half be obtained by any means.

Looking in the direction of Slaughter, many people have such thoughts.

It is very common for nobles and nobles to fight for territory resources and population, especially between two adjacent territories. You don’t even need to be famous, you just want to fight, even if one side annexes the other side. , when the king knew about it, at most, he would only receive a letter of reprimand, and it was difficult to have any substantive punishment.

Of course, things get more troublesome if both sides of the war have backgrounds.

But the former Earl of Sloth next door, the current baron, was demoted because he offended the great nobles, and he had no power background, so if he wanted to beat him, he basically didn’t have to worry about any follow-up troubles.

This is also the reason why the baron was so cautious after Felix took over Sloter. He was sandwiched between Princia and Sardinson. The landowners on the left and right are still friends. It is too easy to beat him as a baron. .

It’s not that the baron has tried to curry favor with Felix, but it’s too difficult. Felix rarely attends the gatherings of the surrounding nobles, or should say almost none, and he himself rarely holds banquets, rarely a few times. , as a baron, it is difficult to grab other nobles to approach him, and it is even more difficult to take the lady route. Wei Wei also doesn’t like parties, otherwise, as the most powerful noble lady in the eastern part of Prady, she has long been by her side. There are a bunch of noble ladies who are wooing her, but now that even the five baronesses under Felix and the family members of those knights have not received her invitation, it is even more impossible for others.

Moreover, the couple had a very bad impression of the baron of Sloter. When they first took over Sloter, they heard a lot of the baron’s evil deeds from the serfs, and even scared him about it. What about the other party.

It is impossible to say that Felix has no idea about the remaining half of Sloter’s land, but for the time being he has no time to start.

But he doesn’t have time, it doesn’t mean that his group of knights don’t have time. Many noble knights will disguise themselves as robbers to rob. At this time, they feel that if there is no important work, they can also make time to go to that half of the area. “Wandering”.

Of course, this must first be approved by the Count.

Lord Earl told them to stop doing this for the time being.

They are busy right now, don’t waste time on such little things.

The knights nodded to show their understanding, that is, they can go to work when they are not busy, right?

For example, it is very suitable in winter, and in cold weather, you should exercise more to keep your body temperature.

I don’t know what the men are thinking, Wei Wei is leading people to prepare the knights’ award ceremony.

Because multiple knights were awarded at the same time, the ceremony was simplified to a certain extent. The specific process was that the knights who were awarded knights knelt on one knee in front of the loyal Felix, and Felix held a long sword and tapped the knight’s shoulder three times with the back of the sword. , Even if the award is completed by presenting a proverb, Felix needs to repeat this process sixty times. Even if each person only delays less than a minute, the whole process will last for about an hour.

So, Felix generously gave Wei Wei the right to award half of the honors and asked her to award half of the knights. No one has any opinion on this. This is the countess, and it also represents the Williams family. Their status is no less than Felix, and they naturally have the right to award them honors. Some people are even very honored because they are the countess who honored them.

After the award ceremony, there will naturally be a grand celebration banquet. Considering the knights’ preferences, the menu of the banquet is mainly based on dishes suitable for drinking. A large amount of newly brewed beer is enough for them to drink until dawn, and they will not be drunk.

Nowadays, everyone in Sardinson knows the use of hops to brew beer, and this method has also been quickly promoted to other places. The taste and shelf life of beer have been significantly improved, so no matter when, the castle has a large amount of beer in stock, Even maids drink it every day. After all, it is an era when beer is used as water. Even women will drink.

And everyone knows that the beer brewed by the countess is the best.

Kingsley was blushing at the banquet. He had a very good amount of alcohol, and he was very restrained in drinking. He never let himself get drunk, but today was obviously different. He was so happy and let go of it. , intends to stay as drunk as the others.

Among the knights who have been promoted this time are his knight attendants, and his knight attendants are both his students and his son.

It is not uncommon for the knight attendants taught by knights to be their heirs. Their knight titles can also be inherited to their sons, as long as the latter has enough ability, so most knights will teach their children very seriously, Rather than entrusting others to teach, it is better to teach yourself.

Originally, Kingsley thought that his son would have to wait until he retired before taking over his position, and he was only forty years old this year, and he could still serve the Count for at least ten or twenty years, or even longer. In the meantime, unless he himself retire early, his son will probably not officially become a knight until he is about the same age as he is now.

But obviously his eldest son is very lucky. Not only did he not wait that long, he even graduated early and became a formal knight because of his excellent performance. The eldest son just turned 20 this year, so he added a piece of knighthood to the Hall family. Ya, this is really a happy thing.

Especially since the eldest son already has his own title of knighthood, Kingsley’s title cannot be given to him, and he can leave this title to another son.

However, there is also a sweet little trouble here. Kingsley only planned to train his eldest son to inherit the title of knighthood, so he did not have a knight education for his youngest son, and the youngest son is now seventeen years old and is already in the earl. He held a small management position in the factory, worked hard and worked hard. I heard that he would be promoted soon. Obviously, it is not suitable for him to be brought to any other place for knight training.

“Then who should I give my knighthood.” Kingsley was slightly drunk, looking distressed but also smiling.

Happiness is really happy, and distress is also really distressed. If no one inherits the title of knight, both the title and the fief will be taken back, and the title of knight cannot be held concurrently. He has to find another heir.

“What’s so annoying, you can just have another one.” The half-drunk companion next door slapped him vigorously on the shoulder.

This is not impossible. Kingsley is only forty years old, when he is officially strong, and his wife is seven or eight years younger than him. Although he is a little older when he has a child, it is not impossible to have another one.

It is only an elderly mother, and the danger is self-evident.

And Kingsley has a good relationship with his wife, and he doesn’t plan to let her take the risk.

“Then give it to your grandson.” The people on the other side also came to join their conversation: “I plan to give my knight title to my little grandson, he is also three years old this year, no matter how old he is. Some, you can start training.”

Kingsley looked at him, the other party was the same as him, the knight attendant around him was also his son, and this time he was promoted to have his son, so they had the same troubles and found another heir for their knight title.

Unlike him, the other party has only one son, but the son has long reached the age to graduate, but he has no chance to become a knight, so he has continued to be a knight servant, and he has two boys, one inherits his father’s title , a person who inherits the title of grandfather is just right.

And after his reminder, Kingsley suddenly thought that he did not have a suitable son to inherit his position, but he could wait for his grandson!

The eldest son is now an official knight. He is not married yet. Even if he gets married, the first boy will definitely inherit his position. The younger son, because he is determined to work **** his own, is full. After the age of sixteen, his mother who loved him married a wife for him. Although the young couple has no children yet, I believe they will soon have them.

But this had to be discussed with his eldest son. He didn’t want the two children to have a deadlocked relationship because of the inheritance.

There are actually many people who have the same troubles as them. After all, Sardinson was originally a poor place. Outsiders would not send their sons to study with the knights here, and the locals were basically poor and could not afford the knight education. , and there is no noble blood, it is basically impossible to change the lintel, so most of the satinson knights are blood related to the knights.

And little serfs like Chimi were born, and if Felix hadn’t valued them, they wouldn’t have had such an opportunity at all.
