Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

Said it was to wait until the banquet began, but Richard and Teresa only sat for a while, and several nobles came over and started talking with Richard.

Through the conversation, Richard also understood their identities. These people are members of the noble sect. After learning that Richard became the Earl of Meen, they came to congratulate him, but one of them has some identity. Special, he is a nobleman who was conferred as Earl Oulan with Richard.

Adhering to the principle of multiple friends, multiple paths, Richard and everyone talked in a friendly manner. There is no room for development in the plot of the slap in the face of the novel. First of all, it was organized by the king. At the banquet, the trouble now is undoubtedly a fiercely slap in the face of the king. Secondly-the lowest person who can be invited here is the earl. Which earl would be so mindless?

Compared with the banquet held by the Duke of Olsson, the luxury of the banquet in the palace exceeds several grades. Whether it is walking on the ground or climbing in the sky, it is very luxurious and cooked with a lot of spices. It is made one after another and placed on a delicate dinner plate. However, because to the nobles, those flying animals symbolize nobleness, so the food on the table visible by naked eye is mostly a variety of winged poultry.

Because the pigs of this era have no mature castration technology, pork has a very strong smell, and there are only small roast suckling pigs on the table.

The invited nobles sat around a long table under the musical instruments of the melodious court musicians. They talked softly while eating with tableware, and halfway through the banquet, The king suddenly stood up and announced to the nobles present tonight’s ceremony tonight. He called Cassius Garcia, a clan named Duke of Niang, to his side, and then under the command of the palace chief, Niang The four earls in the collar walked up to them one after another under everyone’s gaze.

Although there is no special pre-rehearsal, the four earls present have relevant experience except Richard. Richard has also seen several ceremonies, and he has seen pigs run without eating pork. Therefore, the re-seal ceremony was completed smoothly.

After completing the ceremony, Richard and the others returned to their respective seats. He found that most of the nobles in the venue had a confused look on their faces. It can be seen that they did not know beforehand. Regarding the transfer of vassal, and the intact monarchs including Olsson had no objections, it seems that the king has settled them all at once.

The law of Touraine Kingdom is a bit deformed due to the interference of the noble house. If a nobleman originally had a title, he will automatically be converted to the lord of the duchy of the original title after he is canonized. Instead of becoming a direct vassal of the king, this undoubtedly weakened the king’s power and greatly helped maintain the power of the aristocracy.

That’s why Richard will be conferred as Earl of Mein. Because his title is equal to the original Lord Wallis, he will automatically become a vassal of Duke Olsson, but from Viscount Bratai Judging from his identity, Richard’s prince was still the Earl of Wallis. The latter wanted to enlist him to fight or receive taxes. Richard did not have the right to refuse. He still had to hand over the enlistment and taxes led by Viscount Blatté. count.

The reason why Touraine Kingdom has such a weird law is that it starts from the beginning of the kingdom’s establishment. At that time, in order to be able to safely become a king, the first king allowed the nobles to form a noble house. And passed a series of laws beneficial to the aristocracy, giving many powers to the other side. The king himself may not be happy, but without the power of the aristocracy, his throne will be on the verge of collapse, and finally the unified kingdom will soon all split up and in pieces.

Since then, successive kings have devoted themselves to changing the law and regaining power. Although this generation of kings has regained some of their power and has a large number of supporters, the power of the aristocracy is still strong.

And now, after a series of transactions unknown to outsiders, Richard and the other three earls have become vassals of the Duke of Cassius Garcia, who in turn is a member of the royal party. This operation of the king will certainly arouse discussion and speculation among the nobles for a long time to come.

After the ceremony was transferred, the nobles began to discuss in low voices, guessing the intention of the king’s move. The people sitting next to Richard also asked Richard about it, and it is better to do more than less. With an attitude of one thing, Richard had dealt with it without knowing it.

After this incident, many nobles lost the mood to continue eating, and turned to toasting and drinking, or to increase their contacts, or to improve relations with allies. Through this time, Austrian Prince Ersson announced in public the marriage contract between Richard and his daughter Teresa, which undoubtedly caused another uproar.

The nobles who set up Sect hurriedly surrounded Duke Olsson, wanting to find out his attitude towards the nobles, because in the eyes of outsiders, Richard is a member of the nobles, and Now Duke Olsson wants to marry his only heir to Richard. This is likely to be the beginning of Duke Leliss joining the nobility.

In response to the surrounding inquiries, Olsson responded with an ambiguous attitude. The members of the aristocratic faction were also a little pleased when they saw it. The Leliss family is the big brother of the set up Sect, he If you join the aristocratic faction, you will definitely bring in many small families.

The nobles of the royal party also understand this truth. Looking at the ambiguous Duke of Olsson, they will inevitably feel a little anxious, and they all turn their eyes to King Thales Garcia who is sitting on the main seat. At this time, the king seemed calm, as if it were just a simple marriage of nobles.

In fact, the king himself was also a little anxious. In previous separate conversations, he and Olsson had hinted that he would attack the aristocratic court at least five years later. Although the duke stated that he He would not join any faction, but he also declined the royal marriage he proposed. Now, he married his only daughter to Richard Vareen, who was promoted by the aristocratic faction.

This makes King Thales inevitably somewhat suspicious, but he doesn’t think that the Duke will join the noble faction at this time, at most it is only two-handed preparation.

After the Duke of Olsson announced the marriage contract, many nobles noticed that Teresa had been sitting next to Richard all night. Looking at the talented and beautiful couple, everyone felt a little bit of sourness. , This sourness is mainly aimed at Richard. As the first heir to Valantia duchy, Teresa’s suitors can almost form a platoon together, especially her looks are not bad, and she has become countless people. In the dream Goddess, even the unmarried Prince once publicly stated that he wanted to pursue her.

It can be said that on this night, not only the nobleman who dreamed of marrying Teresa was heartbroken, but the name Richard Vareen was also firmly engraved in the hearts of many people.
