Start As a Lord In a Viscount - Chapter 499: : Erin's Dilemma

“Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to take back the title of Duke Tulip!”

Under the throne, a minister knelt down at Irene and reported.

As soon as these words came out, the other officials next to the minister showed a look of surprise and fear in their eyes.

Now who doesn’t know that the one most favored by Her Majesty Irene in the kingdom is Claire, Duke of Tulips in Griffin’s Domain, he actually dares to make such a proposal, does he think he has nine heads that can be chopped off?

Irene’s expression did not change significantly, but said lightly: “Why?”

“The Mermaid Port in the Griffin Territory is now the second largest port city in the kingdom, and Nafu City controls almost all the economic lifelines in the southern part of the kingdom. The annual income of the Griffin Territory is an astronomical sum. , and you have approved the power of Lord Claire to establish a duchy, now the Griffin Territory does not need to provide taxes to the capital, which is a great loss for us.”

“If there is a tax blessing from the Griffin, then the economy of our kingdom will not be so tight, and it can develop more favorably.”

Just as Irene was about to speak, the minister kneeling below said, “And the reason why the Griffin Territory can develop so well now is that it has attracted the economy of other territories in the kingdom to grow in the past, so even if your majesty It is to take back Lord Claire’s title of duchy, and it won’t cause any bad effects.”

After saying this, Irene on the throne was silent for a while, and finally said slowly: “I will consider this proposal.”

Just as the kneeling minister was about to speak again, Sophia stood up in time, “Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report.”

Sophia’s insertion also interrupted the minister’s next words. After the other party glanced at the atmosphere at the scene, he stood up and returned to his previous position.

…

The court session ended, in the small palace where Irene rested in the royal palace.

“They are ready to move again.” Erin said lightly.

Sophia also nodded and replied: “Now there are many nobles united below, and there are many shadows of sword saints and other magister families behind them.”

“They are using Claire to test your attitude now. They are angry with me and bluntly say, Your Majesty, you shouldn’t compromise just now. If there is one thing you don’t back down, those people will become even more aggressive.”

Irene was silent, just picked up a knife and fork, picked up a piece of fruit, put it in her mouth, and chewed lightly.

After becoming a king, you can’t do whatever you want, and there are still the Juggernaut family and those magister families who are constantly fighting for power and profit for their own family. The king’s main responsibility is to fight for power and profit for those below the balance, so that one party is not too powerful and suppresses the others, which is not good for the long-term development of the kingdom.

In the beginning, it was fine when Irene first came to power. After killing a group of people, the great nobles became much quieter. But as time goes by, those people start to move again. They are not the biggest beneficiaries of Irene’s position, so now I will take back what I lost step by step.

The minister who was just admonishing was nothing more than a scapegoat introduced by the magisters and the Juggernaut family. Even if Irene killed him, it would not have played a big role. Go out and do a lot of publicity to make the event more favorable to them.

The reason why Claire came out as a target is also the choice of those families after careful consideration. The first is that Claire is very important to Irene, so I can test the attitude of appearing in Irene, if Irene refuses very firmly , it’s not that they want to give up, but that they need to adjust the plan.

What’s more, their nobles are really jealous of the income of the current Griffin Territory, there are no other nobles there, and all the income has entered the pocket of Claire alone. So they naturally like to get a piece of the pie. As long as they get a little bit, it is also a big source of income.

After eating the fruit in her mouth, Irene said: “Should come down first, don’t you see me as to how long it will take?”

Sophia rubbed the corner of her eyes, she and Irene are one, so she has also faced challenges and temptations from various forces these days, and she has also lost a lot in the process.

“Need to tell Claire this news?” Sophia asked.

“Let’s talk, let him also beware of some of those people’s little actions.”

“Okay, I’ll send someone to do it when I go back.”

Gu Ha

“Wait.” Irene suddenly stretched out her hand, “No, I haven’t seen him for a long time, I’ll go there in person.”

“Do you need me to accompany you?”

“No, it’s just a matter of a day or two. When I’m away, help me keep an eye on the nobles in the capital, and don’t let them do anything to me again.”

“Understood.”

…

The Royal Capital and the Griffin Territory were not too far apart, at least for the mages, it was only a matter of ten minutes.

If you use space to teleport, the time can be shortened even more.

After getting up, Irene came to Griffin’s territory in the afternoon. Since it was a private interview, no one knew of her arrival.

But after arriving in Nafu City, Irene was shocked by the scene in front of her.

This place doesn’t correspond to all the memories in her mind. It feels like an ancient person suddenly came to a modern city. It’s not the buildings in Nafu City that make Irene feel this way, but the people who live here. People gave her this feeling, and the faces of those who came and went were filled with smiles from the heart. It’s a wonderful feeling, like that’s how people are supposed to live.

Irene, who was in a daze at the city gate, attracted the attention of others. A teenager about her age came over and asked, “Miss, is this your first time to Nafu City?”

Irene nodded first, then quickly shook her head, “I have been here a few years ago, but I didn’t expect the change to be so great.”

The young man laughed, “Under the leadership of Lord Lord, our Griffin Territory has developed very well, so the change is naturally a little bigger.”

“Do you need me to show you around Nafu City?”

Irene retracted her eyes that looked around, nodded and said, “Yes, how much does it cost?”

The boy quickly waved his hand and said, “We don’t charge money, we are volunteering, and we will bring some first-time tourists to get to know Nafu City.”

Irene was a little surprised. In the capital, there are people who specially lead the way, but those are charged for money, and if you see that you are easy to deceive, they will cheat you.

“Then do you have any money for this volunteer activity?”

“Since it’s a voluntary activity, how can there be money, but three meals will be provided.” The teenager scratched his head and smiled: “I just graduated and I haven’t decided what job to do, in order to not be a moth who doesn’t contribute to the territory, That’s why I came to participate in this support activity. But even if I find a job in the future, I’ll take the time to do some volunteer activities.”

“Are there many volunteering activities like this?”

“There are quite a few ~www.mtlnovel.com~ such as cleaning the streets and taking care of the elderly, and when some activities in the government require manpower, there will be volunteer activities.”

“Are there many people there?”

“Of course, there are many more. I finally managed to grab this volunteer activity.”

When Irene heard this, she was stunned. The people here seemed to be different from the world she lived in.

“So miss, do you need to lead the way? I know Nafu City fairly well.”

Irene just wanted to nod her head in agreement, but the next second came a voice from behind the boy, “No need, let me come, we both know each other.”

Irene stood on tiptoe and tilted her body to look over. After seeing the figure of the person speaking, her eyes narrowed and she laughed.
