Rise In Calradia - Chapter 443: : Restoration of the principality system

In the castle hall of Palavin, the nobles gathered together, and two-thirds of the vassals loyal to Prince Harau in the kingdom gathered here, and the family records of these adults also followed, and hundreds of nobles occupied Every corner of the hall, shoulder to shoulder like a market in the city.

People talk to each other, and keep greeting different people, which can even get a little tiresome after a long time. Only those children from aristocratic families who haven’t seen much in the world will be happy, and deal with this grand and wonderful scene in their immature way.

Of course, for Byron, seeing a king’s enthronement ceremony is obviously more interesting than an aristocratic event of this scale. To be honest, his reputation in the country is not very good. On the one hand, he treats the people well and adopts the heir of the enemy , remained faithful to the new king, and married Ms. Nelda. But on the other hand, his behavior is not like that of a nobleman at all. Although it is difficult to find evidence, many people suspect that the deaths of many people, including Konis, are inseparable from him. The freedom of the other party took the ownership of Fort Amira by force, expanded its power almost greedily, and undertook their taxes in the south for other nobles in a disgraceful way, step by step like a cunning mercenary and an insatiable businessman. Today, it can’t help but make them feel uneasy and disgusted.

So, for these reasons, while people who met Byron were greeted with smiles and many compliments, they quickly turned away.

“Ah, Lord Byron, we haven’t seen each other for a while.”

While Byron was observing the situation in the room, Earl Blands walked up to Byron and patted him on the shoulder. The age and in-law relationship made the two sides stand together naturally on any occasion. The power of marriage is thus revealed. Two families that were once completely different and basically had no intersection, after a marriage, the two sides are tightly linked together. For Earl Crags, Byron’s family line and ancestors are no longer important, and his own problems can be tolerated. As long as his heir is his grandson, the two parties will be bound together. What’s more, they both need each other’s support.

“Ah, Lord Blands.” Byron nodded.

“I think it was the first time that even my family received such a welcome when they came to Palaven.” Berlands said with a smile: “Obviously our union has made us the most loyal lords to the king.” The powerful one.”

“Our status in His Majesty’s court is indeed getting higher and higher. When I chatted privately with Your Majesty yesterday, His Majesty told me that he hopes your father can be the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom, and Lord Grainward and Lord Harlengoth It will be a great honor to assist His Majesty in governing the internal affairs and managing the army.” Byron flattered.

“This is indeed the honor of our family, but if you ask me, this is the correct decision in line with the current situation.” Earl Blands raised his head proudly. He couldn’t hide his feelings on the Internet, even Byron could easily see through his thoughts.

“What about Earl Kreis? How does His Majesty plan to arrange for this lord? As far as I know, Earl Kreis’s position in the eastern part of the kingdom can no longer be shaken.”

Byron glanced at the nobles who were chatting nearby, lowered his voice slightly, and leaned closer: Just as our arrival allowed the king to keep half of the kingdom, the choice of Lord Cress will also change the situation of the entire kingdom. But this time I didn’t see Lord Kress or his messenger. ”

“Ah, you don’t have to worry, Byron.” Earl Blands was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: “It seems that you haven’t heard, His Majesty the King has decided to restore the ancient title of duke and establish a dukedom. If you don’t Unexpectedly, he should designate the land around Dherim as a new principality, hand it over to Lord Kles to rule, and transfer to him those vassals who are no longer loyal to him. This is Aisona The authority that cannot be given to him, and Dherim and the Eastern Castles will remain in the kingdom. Duke will be a title more respected than earl, but not above us, as it was in ancient times , at least His Majesty promised so.”

“I don’t think this is such a good idea, but I also admit that this is probably the best way at the moment.” Byron nodded slightly. In Calradia, the Duke is not as simple as his hometown

The fifth-class noble title system, but closer to those complicated title systems in Europe. In the former empire era, the kingship of Swadia was not fully established. At that time, the king was just the leader of an alliance, and this alliance was being It is composed of several principalities that are opposed to each other but have to stand together to resist foreign enemies. Later, with the prosperity of the Lion family, the royal power overwhelmed all the principalities, disintegrated these small countries through marriage, power tactics, and wars, and all the scattered nobles belonged to the royal power. Although in fact the local rulers are still the former earls and lords, they are already the king’s vassals and directly fulfill their obligations to the royal power. It was also the establishment of the king’s rights that allowed the Varangian Kingdom at that time to have the ability to compete with the declining but still powerful Karad Empire.

Now, with the decline of the royal power and the division of the country, it seems that King Harauu has had to come up with the system that his ancestors worked so hard to abolish, and maintain the fragile unity of his country as a suzerain instead of a monarch.

“I don’t think the king made the decision with a smile?” Byron joked humorously.

“He has no choice.” Blands put away his smile and sighed softly. “People say that the black soil from the south of Palavon to Suno is the most fertile land in Calradia, but in fact we don’t get enough food. I don’t know what’s going on with those farmers, but they keep shouting Hungry, complaining about the high taxes of their landowners, the landowners and manor owners have never paid even one grain, scolding their farmers for being lazy all day long, these people are arguing about all kinds of trivial matters all day long, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com How do you know how important those grains are to the kingdom’s war! Now the plains of Dherim are the real granary of the kingdom, with large tracts of land, hardworking farmers, and prosperous trade, Kles The count holds half of Swadia’s trade grain in one hand, and the other on our king’s neck. You and I know, Byron, that if Count Cress does cut off the trade, burn the fields, and take the torches Standing by the grain storehouses, then we will never be able to organize the armies you saw the other day, unless the lord is willing to provide all his own supplies, but life is not easy everywhere.”

“And he has an army, thousands of heavily armed warriors and militia, with our swords and the sabers we captured last time from the Kujit.” Byron added: “We cannot possibly fight against another opponent Take Dherim before we stab us in the back, especially as our opponents are now ready to send troops across the border at any moment.”

“That’s why it’s better to give Mr. Kles the corresponding rights. Anyway, His Majesty doesn’t have a partner yet. If this trick doesn’t work, at least you can marry.”

The two stopped their discussion when they said this, and toasted each other, because at this time the horn had sounded for the first time, and the king and several important ministers of the future kingdom would arrive soon.
