Rise In Calradia - Chapter 444: : 2 dukes

The crown of Swadia has been passed down for hundreds of years. When Vlandia was first established, it was just a golden ring without any decorations, but when King Harlaus wore it, the golden ring was already Smelted into a true crown, it is set with one of the largest rubies that can be found in Calradia and four smaller gems.

At this moment, the crown is in the hands of the Archbishop of Swadia. Whenever the diplomacy between Swadia and Rhodoks deteriorates, or the Pope does not get enough benefits, crowning the new king is the highest religion in the kingdom. responsibilities of the head.

Halauwu sat high on the throne, nervously waiting for the archbishop to approach from behind, waiting for the moment when the crown would fall on his head.

“Prince Harau, are you willing to take over your father’s duties and take over the Kingdom of Swadia because of your glorious and great blood?”

“I would.”

“Have you sworn to rule your people justly and keep them safe?”

“I swear.”

“Did you take an oath under your rule to uphold the state religion and protect our faith?”

“I swear.”

“Finally, and most importantly, do you swear that you will treat all nobles fairly and justly, protect their lives and properties, and defend their due rights?”

“I swear!”

The archbishop anointed the holy oil on the forehead of the new king, and announced to the world in a solemn and inviolable voice:

“In the name of the Father, and with the blessing of St. Valentia (the saint-king of Swadia, canonized for his virtue and establishment of the present state religion), I declare, Prince Halau of Pravin, Today officially enthroned as Halau I of Swadia, may his reign last forever!”

“Long live the king! Long live the king! Long live the king!!”

The deafening shouts of the nobles in the castle shook the entire hall. This is not just the roar from the throats of more than two hundred people, but represents the power of half of Swadia. The power transformed by this power can move Crack boulders, twist rivers, and the fate of millions depends on their will. When they choose to pledge allegiance to Halau, the black lions will hold their heads proudly in the vast land mountains from Palaven to Jerkala, and no one can shake their majesty.

At this moment, Byron was standing in the second row among the many nobles, beside the Earl of Blands. The nobles in the row ahead were all old nobles with many fiefs in the kingdom, and they were all talkers in the family. As Byron is an upstart, the position arranged for him by the new king is equivalent to a major member of the kingdom’s main lord’s family. Compared with the treatment of King Harlaus, it is at least much better on the surface, and it is worthy of Byron’s current status. .

“We did it, Borlands.”

Under the shout of long live, Byron looked at the Earl of Blands next to him and said: “The king we support has ascended the throne, and the enemy of the king is still active in the world. He owes us a great favor. And he doesn’t have the option to renege.”

“That’s right, but I heard from my father that the king has made an arrangement for you to repay this debt of favor.” Earl Blands moved his body close to Byron with a complicated expression: “I don’t know the specifics. But I think this will be a great reward. Remember last time? He sealed you two cities in one breath, think about what he will give you this time. Maybe, he will allow you to attack the rest of Rhodok at will region and take it for themselves.”

“Maybe, but I’m afraid no lord is willing to continue to stir up the muddy waters of Rhodok, and few northern lords are willing to rule there, especially those troublesome mountainous areas.”

Byron stopped at this point, and applauded the king who stood up and looked down at the nobles with others.

He knew very well what the lords of the current kingdom thought of Rhodok. The aristocratic lords of Swadia once thought that Rhodok was a treasure land, prosperous and rich, with a lot of oil and water, and some fresh fruits and grape wine. But when they broke through Gruenwald Castle and entered the Veluga Plain, which is full of beautiful manors, they discovered that things were not as simple as they imagined. In Swadia, their lands are completely ruled by them. But in Rhodoks, large and small town councils and village elders in the central region, gentry groups with complex relationships and control of agricultural output, and various guilds that control the operation of the local economy are bound like invisible threads. They, those aristocrats in the north who are good at fighting on horseback, hunting, reciting poems, and aristocratic tactics, will immediately feel uncomfortable when they arrive here. They can only watch a lot of dinars run away in front of their eyes. Research rebellion. In the end, they had no choice but to outsource taxes to Byron after returning to their hometown.

In the mountainous area, it would be good if the lords from the north can control their castles, but there is nothing they can do about the mountains and swamps.

No way, the South is like this. Although Byron played a “little” role in it (such as cooperating with the locals many times against the Swadian lords and supporting the opponent’s weapons), the south is not suitable for the Swadian lords. So after Byron acquired the richest lands of Rhodoks, they lost interest in all plans to attack Rhodoks.

While Byron was thinking, the king raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

After this period of news transmission, everyone knew that His Majesty the King was going to announce the restoration of the duke system, but they were still patiently waiting for the announcement.

“Masters of Swadia, every monarch in the history of the kingdom has to do something, even if those things are not what we expected. Once, the former kings of Vlandia ended the rule of the dukes with their own hands, creating The kingdom of today, and the authority of the king. But look at Calradia now, how many enemies have we made? The barbarians in the north wantonly plunder our coasts and borders, the slave traders in the desert and those pathetic Rhodoks Rebels are always ready to invade our southern borders, and the steppe brigands have been watching us for hundreds of years. Now, the vile usurpers are trying to take the throne. They have failed, but they have divided us Great country. I have no choice! We must admit that some outstanding and powerful lords need more freedom and rights, and we must treat their help correctly and return it with friendship and respect. Therefore, I announce the restoration of the ancient duke system and the establishment of duchies within the kingdom, and may the dukes work together with us to defend our kingdom!”

Speaking of this, everyone was surprised. The king’s meaning was very clear. There would not only be a duke, but naturally there would not only be a duchy.

“By the right granted to me by the Father, I formally dedicate all the territories in the plain of Dherim, and Dherim, Degeosburg, St. Luz Gothaburg, Tilbert Castle, Rendy The entire territory of the Fortress, and the baronies in the southwest of Fort Lundia and all the lands under its rule were designated as the Duchy of Deherim, and the dukedom was awarded to Lord Clays, Earl of Deherim, and the vassal lands in the duchy be controlled by it.”

“At the same time! Because the conquered area in the south of the kingdom has not yet been surrendered, we need a strong lord to guard the south of the kingdom, so I formally divide Veruga, Jelkala, Fort Amira and Fort Gamiqi and all the lands under my rule. It is the Dukedom of Rhodoks, and the title of duke is awarded to Earl Von Byron of Veruga, and the land of the vassals in the dukedom is controlled by him!”

Now, the whole of Swadia is going to boil.
