Chapter 36 36 Game of Thrones

Chapter 36 -36- Game of Thrones

In the feudal era, there were generally two situations for the inheritance of a territory after the extinction of a noble family.

One situation was that the territory was directly taken back by the lord and became the lord's direct territory or was divided among other nobles.

This situation was not particularly common, and was common when the lord was strong or the extinct family had no marriage or collateral branches.

The other situation was the vast majority of cases, that is, after a series of open and secret struggles, the territory was inherited by the marriage family or collateral branch family of the extinct family with certain inheritance rights.

The same was true in the Miria world.

Not only that, because there were extraordinary powers in the Miria world, and marriages between extraordinary people could increase the probability of awakening extraordinary powers in their offspring, marriages between nobles in this world were more frequent.

Take the Castel family as an example. If you really want to track it, almost the entire Principality of Boulder, and even some other noble families in the Crescent Kingdom outside the Principality of Boulder, have been married to Castel, and they are considered to be relatives of a certain degree of inheritance.

In other words, if Charlotte died, there would be a lot of families in the Duchy of Bolde and even outside the Duchy who had weak claims to the inheritance of the Earldom of Castel.

Of course, where there is a claim, there is a ranking.

Among all the succession rankings, the Bolde family, who are both the lord and the main family, and have also had a marriage alliance with the previous generation, are the well-deserved first.

Others have weak claims at most, but the Bolde family has a strong claim, or even the direct heir.

In other words, once Charlotte gets into trouble, the Earldom of Castel will almost certainly return to the Duke's Mansion.

Charlotte, who has already made up for the noble knowledge of this world, quickly figured out all these things.

"How did the assassin's weapon come in?"

She thought for a while and asked again.

This time, Quasimodo looked at the black cat Nice, and Nice chuckled and said:

"It is a temporary addition of space magic, and it is a very advanced technique. Your servant is not a superhuman, so he naturally can't see it."

"Temporary addition? Is there a superhuman behind him?"

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

"Yes, meow, but he refused to say, or he couldn't say it. He should have been subjected to a mental forgetfulness spell, and only remembered that he had a weapon that could be hidden."

"In his words, even if he was used by others, as long as he could avenge his family, he would be willing."

Nice licked his paw and said.

"But if we continue to track, we can still track it to the Duke's Mansion, right?"

Charlotte took a sip of milk and squinted slightly.

Nice chuckled twice, which was considered as a tacit agreement, and it was obvious that he had found "evidence".

"A fool who overestimated his own abilities and was used as a gun by others!"

Charlotte's eyes turned cold, and she added a new label to the assassin.

Obviously, this was another frame-up.

Indeed, from the perspective of inheritance, if anyone wants Charlotte to die, it is undoubtedly Duke of Bold.

Such a frame-up is easier for the public to believe.

But Charlotte does not think that Duke of Bold is so stupid.

Nobles have their own rules, and abiding by the rules is what all Miria nobles value most.

In the game of power, many dirty things can be hidden in the dark, but cannot be exposed.

If Duke of Bold really assassinated her and the matter was exposed, he would be charged with murder.

This is not an ordinary murder.

As beneficiaries of the extraordinary ruling system, Miria nobles have privileges.

The Holy Royal Court and Charlemagne I, the founding emperor of the Yunite Empire who laid the foundation for Miria's current political structure, once signed a "Sacred Code", which clearly stipulated the various rights and obligations of nobles.

And murdering nobles, even lower nobles, is not allowed in the political circle of the Miria world.

Even the Holy Royal Court regards this as a sin, and even has the right to excommunicate the murderer and excommunicate him directly!

The king's power is granted by God, and the king's power comes from the divine right. The same is true for the nobles' control over the land.

It will be a lively time when that happens.

Once excommunicated, the Duke of Borde's control over the territory and even its legitimacy will be weakened.

At that time, the inheritance of the Earldom of Castel will definitely not be obtained, and the vassal nobles may also take the opportunity to make trouble.

No one is a fool, and everyone is watching the Duke's Mansion.

It is not so easy to be the boss under the feudal system. The vassal nobles are all shrewd, taking advantage of the situation, being sneaky, and being cunning... playing thieves.

Even the Castel family, which was praised by the Duke of Borde as the backbone of the principality, is accustomed to falsifying accounts to lower the apparent income of the territory, thereby reducing the contract tax paid.

Not to mention other families.

Most of the vassal nobles in Borde actually wish that the Duke's Mansion would weaken immediately so that they can raise the price and reduce the contract tax and conscription ratio in their vassal contracts.

When that time comes, I am afraid that even the other lords and even the royal family of the Crescent Kingdom will be ready to move.

I believe that the King of New Moon will not miss this good opportunity. He will definitely use this as an excuse to weaken the Bold family and even take back some of the duke's direct territory.

Centralization has always been the dream of every feudal monarch.

So... as long as the Duke of Bold is not stupid, it is impossible to assassinate Charlotte.

At least he can't dirty his hands. If he wants to do it, he must do it secretly and can't be caught by others.

Not to mention that this is the most inferior method.

Putting it another way, if Charlotte herself were the Duke of Boulder, wouldn't it be nice if the marriage ended with a horse-falling accident?

Even if he doesn't fall off his horse, he will still be named Bold if he gives birth to an heir!

It's not like the Duke's family doesn't have... Damn it!

As if she thought of something, Charlotte suddenly shivered, and her face looked a little ugly.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of those gossipy believers who spread rumors like trains when she was in the church hospital.

"Quasimodo, the Duke invited me to the banquet a week later, and specifically reminded me that it was related to the future of the Castel family. What do you mean... what does this mean?"

She took a deep breath and asked.

"Is it related to the future of the family?"

Quasimodo was stunned for a moment, with a confused look on his face.

Seeing the look on his face, Charlotte knew that although her old servant was loyal, his political acumen was probably almost zero.

"You said... the Duke's Palace doesn't want to marry me, does it?"

Charlotte expressed her guess.

Quasimodo frowned:

"Marriage? But the Duke doesn't have a male heir...wait! That illegitimate child?!"

His eyes suddenly widened.

Immediately afterwards, Charlotte saw that her old servant became angry like an old hen protecting her young, and her beard was so angry:

"A dream! This is a dream!"

"He actually wants to marry our noble Castel family with a dirty illegitimate son. Even if he is a duke, he cannot insult his master like this!"

Charlotte was shocked by Quasimodo's reaction.

The always docile old servant was like a ignited powder keg at this moment. He began to curse and greeted the Duke's family from top to bottom, even if this was just a guess made by Charlotte.

And listening to the other party's filthy curses that had no aristocratic etiquette, Charlotte gradually came to her senses.

Same as Blue Star, no, more than Blue Star.

The illegitimate son of a noble in this world has a very low status.

Not only does he have no inheritance rights, he is also at the bottom of the noble chain of contempt.

No wonder Quasimodo was so angry. Even if he was the son of a duke, his status as an illegitimate son determined that Lenno's status in the aristocratic circle was even worse than that of a baron at the lowest level.

At most, he is equivalent to a knight by virtue of his extraordinary strength, but he is still a knight with a stain on his back.

However, Quasimodo's reaction also made Charlotte relieved.

Even her own servants are so angry, so if the Duke really proposes a marriage, she can justly refuse on the basis of family honor.

Quasimodo cursed for a long time.

While cursing and cursing, he seemed to be tired of scolding and seemed to have remembered something. He suddenly stopped and asked:

"Wait a minute, Master, how old is the illegitimate son of the Duke's family? What is his strength? Has he awakened the power of his bloodline?"

"About 20 years old, seems to be the second level of Silver Moon."

Charlotte picked up the goblet and put it to her mouth gracefully while saying.

"Twenty years old? Second level of Silver Moon?!"

Quasimodo's eyes lit up instantly.

He stood up and pressed the table excitedly:

"Master! We must capture him! We must find a way to capture him!"

"puff……"

Charlotte choked and squirted all over Quasimodo's face.

Quasimodo didn't care at all, but said excitedly:

"Yinyue Second Order! He is Silver Moon Second Order! Such a young Silver Moon Second Order!"

"You told me earlier! Then it would be okay! No...it's better to say that his illegitimate son status is a good thing!"

"Combined with him, the family will have a strong support, and a strong support with unlimited potential!"

"Strength can erase the stain. In addition, illegitimate children cannot inherit the territory and must marry into the bride. Our Castel family can definitely continue the bloodline!"

"Not to mention that you have also awakened your bloodline power today, and it is so powerful. The combination of powerful forces... will definitely give birth to an even more powerful heir!"

"I got a silver-moon second-level support for nothing, and my strong bloodline continued..."

"Master! This is a great thing!"

Looking at Quasimodo, who was getting more and more excited as he talked, Charlotte's face turned completely dark.

She wanted to pick up the goblet and smash it down on the other person's shiny head.

It’s your uncle’s business!

A tall heir!

Squeeze grandma!

After I traveled through time, I dressed up as a woman, acted cute, and acted... That was just to make myself happy when I became a lord in the future!

It's not like taking off your clothes, closing your eyes, lying on the bed and letting others feel good!

Marriage?

grass!

No way!
