On the night of March 21, at 8 o'clock, Oshelin Abraham Family Manor.

This dinner was held by the Abraham family, and invited the nobles of all and large in Ossim, including the Osmon family, Lorell and Prudens, three top families in the Lorraine region. Of course, they decided whether to come or not, but since the invitation was sent out, it naturally means that the Abraham family itself values ​​the banquet.

Because at today's banquet, Abraham will hand over the honor restoration documents issued by the empire to Kylot Affleck, the current ruler of the Affleck family. This kind of reputation restoration relationship means alliance or dependence, which is normal. In the eyes of the public, a declined nobleman wants to regain honor, finding a backer is the only way to find a backer.

And as for the Abraham family, the Affleck family is looking for, they also do not think that the Affleck family is a capable family.

Such associations may be a bit inappropriate. They are also an earl-level family and once a royal family. They can be regarded as rich in strength, but in the current Sambiya region, this is true, because Abraham was rejected by the real high-level aristocratic circle.

The royal family of the Lorraine Empire received benefits and rewarded the Abraham family with a noble position and a land. This is normal and everyone supports it. But if this land suddenly appears on their side, it will be difficult to make people happy.

It’s not that the imperial royal family has divided the land of some nobles. Abraham’s current territory was originally land under the control of the empire, so there is no such thing as robbing territory, but this is just a superficial situation. To give a simple example, there must be a small town in the Abraham family territory, right? At first, they were imperial royal family, with the sky high and the emperor far away, and the name was based on the name. If there was anything wrong with the government in this place, they had to ask for the heads of several great nobles in the Sambiya region and ask for help, and they had to bring some gifts, right?

In the long run, an invisible rule has been formed. In order to establish good relations with the great nobles such as Osmon, the towns and cities in the Sambiya region not only have various money to hand over every year, but also often entrust their family's industries to go to their own places to do business. The land rent price is the lowest, and the hidden benefits are absolutely a lot.

Now, when the Abraham family comes, almost all these things are gone in the place where they are, because the land belongs to others now, and all kinds of affairs are of course determined by their wishes. On the other hand, the Abraham family is of course the best. They don’t intend to move the underlying chain of interest, and the rent is still the same. If you suffer some losses, you will suffer some losses.

However, sometimes giving in will not stop greed. On the contrary, it will make some people think that your family is easy to bully and continue to put pressure on them. The major nobles in the Sambiya region demanded that the previous offerings must not be less money!

Everyone is a high-ranking nobleman. If you want commercial discounts, you just rent some land. Everyone is easy to say. The next time you go to your place to open a store will give us some benefits, but now you want us to give you money every month and treat us as cows, it would be a bit too much. Abraham refused immediately, which caused the exclusion and alienation of the top aristocratic circles.

The most intuitive manifestation is that if the three major families in the Duke and Earl level hold banquets, they basically do not invite Abraham. It is obvious that they don’t want to take you to play, unless you pay the money, as long as you pay the money, everyone will still be good friends.

"Yue Yong is still tough. He doesn't participate in private transactions and alliances between top aristocrats. He has the backbone to develop his territory, but he is a little frustrated. If it were me, he would just send a team of people to the territory of these guys to grab things. If it weren't for the alliance, he wouldn't take me. Then I just pick the fruits. He grabbed the bank and robbed the rich, and then asked a question and didn't know."

Kylot was listening to Femiya introduce the current situation of Abraham.

"We are not nobles now, and our territory is overseas. Of course we can do this, but when we have our own territory on the mainland, we probably can't do this by ourselves. If we are discovered, the aristocratic alliance can directly punish you."

Becoming a nobleman has many privileges, but it will also cause many more troubles. Especially after having the territory on the mainland, unlike the Qingshu Islands, the retaliation of hostile forces can be found here and there are certain conditions for implementation.

"Yes, let's go, hurry up and take the aristocratic documents and set off tomorrow to return to the Qingshu Islands. The island has been preparing for more than two months, and local exploration has also made considerable progress. Now is a good time to advance. If it goes well in March, maybe it will be able to catch up with the end of this year's spring plowing."

When he opened the car door, Kylot and Fimia were both wearing dresses. His external identity is currently the deputy director of the Aoki Consortium, so there was no problem with Fimia coming with him.

"Scarlett's report yesterday said that it seemed to be connected with some refugees there. The other party hoped that someone would help them build a new home, but there seemed to be some resistance. There were underground groups in such a chaotic place... I heard that there was a slave hunting team?"

"Normal, there will be no big problems in this regard. When I bring people there, the place is mine. They don't like it. Can you leave? I will "send" them for a while... The topic ends here. Don't mention the plan when you enter the door. Let's find a place to wait for a while. How about going to find Yue Yong? Mina and Bethtrice should be both there."

The relationship between Bethreth and Latis has developed rapidly recently and has become the same relationship as a best friend. Yue Yong has not stopped and acquiesced to the development of this relationship. It doesn't matter whether Kellot is. The two sides are now in an alliance. If nothing unexpected happens, it should not change for a long time in the future. Therefore, this private intimate relationship will still help increase the trust between the alliances.

"You are finally here, let's go, don't go to the hall first. The ceremony will be processed later. We have to agree to you first, so we won't be fooled."

The two were chatting, and Mina didn't know where to stop them.

"Ah? Isn't it that I receive a document, and there is a ceremony?"

Kylot and Femiya looked at each other.

"Of course there are rituals. You don't think there are any nobles, but here is the Lorraine Empire. There is no right to have ranks among the nobles. However, no matter how low aristocrats are, they are completely different from civilians. The Lorraine Royal Family also sent people to come here this time, so there must be a testimony. If there is a problem at the ceremony, you might be a bad evaluation when you go back."

Covering his forehead, Mina suddenly realized that the two people in front of her were illiterate in this regard, and the noble etiquette and rules were probably invisible to them.

"Evaluation? What is that, does it have any additional effect that affects the granting of documents?"

Hearing that there was a circumstance certificate sent by the royal family to evaluate it, Kylot couldn't help but think of a situation similar to an interview. If he didn't pass the qualification, he would not be given honors or something. This was something he couldn't accept. He had been waiting for so long. If someone's subjective evaluation caused a plan to have a miscarriage, he would not guarantee that he would do something bad to that person.

"The documents will not affect them. After all, they have applied for them. They are the lowest-level barons, and the guarantee made by the Abraham family for you. They will not deprive your name on the spot. It is just that if you leave a bad impression on them, it is very likely that the subsequent imperial taxation will increase, and the promotion of the nobles will also hinder the promotion of future aristocratic names."

The witnesses commissioned by the Empire are equivalent to the eyes of the royal family. They consider the situation of the nobles and write some good or bad comments to the archives. I don’t know whether it is useful, but this kind of thing itself is not afraid of ten thousand but afraid of if. If the comments are too bad, if there is something to apply for in the future, a review of the royal family may have preconceived bad impressions. This is something to avoid and prevent problems before they happen.

"It's good that it doesn't affect the documents. At present, what we want to do next is not within the territory of the Lorraine Empire, and it's unlikely to deal with the imperial nobles."

"You are too simple to think. You can't just say you can keep those people out by not dealing with them. If the territory you choose is really destroyed, you don't have to think about how many benefits there are. The empire has regulations that there are tax-free time for developing nobles to regain the land outside, but then it is the rules they set in the end. If your performance is too eye-catching, who can guarantee that they will not be moved?"

Mina walked between the two and took them into the manor through the door on the other side, first to the third floor, where Yue Yong was waiting for them.

The banquet was about to begin half an hour before Kellot and the other two walked to the door when they heard Yue Yong scolding inside, they looked at each other and knocked on the door.

"What's wrong? It's a good thing today. Why are you still angry?"

Mina and Yue Yong had a better relationship, so she asked.

"The invitation for the dinner was sent to several families in Osmond..."

"They don't come? It's normal. I haven't seen them here at dinners before, and it's not better if I don't come at this time. Those people are just here to make trouble."

"You said it right, so the troublemakers came. The Osmond and the Loriel family ignored my invitation letter without any surprise, but the Prudens family said that they would attend, saying that they would observe the honorary gifts this time and express their congratulations!"

Abraham recruited other nobles in front of the current nobles for the first time. Even if it was just a baron, perhaps others thought it was nothing. It was nothing more than that Oshelin had an additional noble family in the future, and it was an old noble family that had existed before. It was considered inheritance and not emerging. But for some families, this was a signal, a signal that the Abraham family was preparing to expand their own power.

The Prudens family is not well-known. Some people may ask if it’s better not to invite them at the beginning? This is not possible.

The hierarchy between nobles is also strict. If you hold a banquet, you don’t invite an earl. No problem, you won’t go if you don’t invite it. However, if your count’s dinner is not sent to the upper class nobles, it means disrespect. If the other party is willing to mess with you, you can use it as a fuss and punish you for a few thousand gold coins at will, so you won’t hurt your muscles, but you can spit out all your disgusting overnight dinner.

"It means someone will make trouble later? Then I will contact Scarlett and ask her to bring someone to help. There are still some people here. It is not convenient for Kylot and I to take action, so I can just leave it to my subordinates."

A high-level heart refining is enough to shock many people.

"No, if you still need help here, what will our Abraham family take to gain a foothold? And you think too directly about the battle between the nobles. They emphasize civilization and intelligence... To put it bluntly, they use various rules to disgust you, make you look ugly at the banquet, and then oppress you in all aspects, making you powerful and have nowhere to use it. Until it is finally ruined, I don't know who is instructing you later..."

It is impolite to fight at a banquet. Even if there is any hatred between the two sides, it must be put into duels and other means. If you take action directly at the banquet, you will only be regarded as a barbarian. This behavior is more despised by other nobles than assassination. For those who regard family honor and life, there is only one prerequisite for doing such a thing, that is, when the family is about to be destroyed, it is the worst thing to put in the ordinary.

Proudence obviously hasn't reached this point. Their people are likely to just make trouble, but these people's trouble is not just a cake. If you say a few words, you may be caught by them and chased them hard.

The dinner that was originally used for celebration turned into a battle without gunpowder, and no one could be happy.

"I don't know what they are going to do later, so the best way is to complete the award of documents as quickly as possible so that they can not find loopholes in this most critical place. We originally prepared some more complicated rituals, but now... we will simplify the steps to pick up the documents at the end. There are still fifteen minutes left. I will go out and briefly talk about the situation later. Then Kellot brought Beths out and took the documents over. There will be a play of oath of allegiance in the middle, which is for the royal family... This part must be done well, and it may be necessary..."

In the second half of the words, Yue Yong was a little hesitant, but Kelot understood her meaning. After all, it was nothing more than showing loyalty. It was very necessary for the noble to express his respect to the royal family during the process of taking office. Everyone can say that he must take action.

Yue Yong's worries are here. Others may not know Kylot's identity, but she is very clear. It is very likely that such a strong man will make things happen if he makes a surrender move. At that time, he will naturally give Prudent's handle, offend the royal family, or be in full view of everyone, this will not work in any country.
