Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 762 The general trend (…
Fiona had no intention of punishing the Marquis of Angoulêne severely from the beginning.
In fact, the truth has been mentioned before, that is, it is legal for the Marquis of Angoulan to oppose himself.
As we all know, when the Shire was founded, it was an alliance of twelve loose nobles. The first Grand Duke of the Shire at that time became the leader of the alliance in order to resist the invasion of the orcs, and was promoted to the first generation of the Principality of the Shire after the twelve great battles at the founding of the country.
Grand Duke.
Why does the Marquis of Angoulan repeatedly emphasize the "Knightly Covenant"? This is what he is referring to.
The structure of the Principality of Charles determines that it is originally a loose alliance, autonomous in peacetime and under unified command in wartime. The nobles enjoy a lot of power. The control that the Grand Duke can exert over the nobles is largely determined by the chivalry spirit of the nobles.
and the personal prestige of the Grand Duke.
This greatly restricted the power of the monarchy, and the Shire did not expand much territory when it was at its most powerful.
There have been several battles with the northern grassland people and the Albrex Empire people, but most of them have achieved little, and the Athel Loren Forest has never returned.
Of course, dictatorship sets the upper limit, and enfeoffment sets the lower limit. In history, there have been two times in history when the Charles Archduke suddenly died, leaving the group leaderless and facing multiple invasions.
In the end, it was only thanks to the support of the enfeoffed nobles and the trust of the Grand Duke of the Gros family that they could individually defend the enemy and save Charles.
This is the same as the system of the Ablix Empire.
On the way back to Storm Fortress, in the high-end hotel where they stayed for the night, Iros and Fiona sat on each side and discussed the next direction of internal affairs.

"There is a reason for leaving the Marquis of Angoulan alone."
Fiona put down the cup and the Grand Duchess said calmly:
"I want to set an example for other conservative nobles. Since I did not hold accountable the Marquis of Angoulan who first came out to oppose me, then Adehad, Ford, Casfan and Hubald will do the same.
You will understand what I mean.
That is, my prestige is unparalleled. The result of my opposition is like the Marquis of Angoulant, but I let the Marquis of Angoulant go. This means that as long as I follow my route, everything will be forgotten and there will be no more.
Without any worries, I naturally turned around and announced my support for my decision."
Fiona brought up the black tea. During this time, the Grand Duchess had been pampered by Iros day and night. Not only was her skin shiny and moist, but her body was also filled with energy from Iros.
The Grand Duchess changed back into her favorite white military uniform and dark blue pleated skirt today. She tasted the Assam black tea imported from the south very elegantly.
Fiona slightly frowned her platinum eyebrows after hearing what Ilos said:
"I understand what you mean, dear, but are they just superficial..."
"Won't."
Iros was very sure about this and said easily:
"And you must add more weight. Don't forget that it was you who forgave their crimes. In this case, if a few conservative nobles secretly sabotage and block your reforms, you can really justifiably punish them.
Let’s take action, this time even the great nobles won’t be able to say anything.”
"Um."
Fiona thought about it carefully, Iros was right.
No matter how mercifully Fiona chooses to forgive the Marquis of Angoulan for his mistakes, his mistakes and openly challenging the Grand Duke of Charles have become his "original sin" that cannot be erased.
In this case, not only can he not violate the law, but he must also implement it properly and increase the pressure. Otherwise, it will appear that he has not truly "repented" of his mistakes, and then he really cannot blame Fiona for taking action.
I gave you a chance, brother!
Dirty is really dirty. This routine made Fiona think about it. She was a little impressed by this approach, but also a little worried. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly:
"Ma'am, luckily everything went well."
"Um."
Iros also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this conspiracy also took certain risks. What if there was a sudden assassination or fire breakout during the process of persuading surrender?
However, there are risks that bring rewards. This time, without spilling a drop of blood or killing anyone, Fiona's prestige will reach another peak.
Now she is already a symbol.
"So about the top ten marshals..."
"Teacher Gonzalez really hopes that Goodwin will take over." Iros said directly: "And Master Elan prefers Davout."
"Is Davout's qualifications too junior?"
Fiona took the list and shook her head:
"You know Ilos, if you include his previous service experience, when Davout was Nicholas of Batoria, his service time was only a few years. If he can be named a
Marshal, then..."
"A marshal is very capable, and Davout is also a unique Holy Grail Guard."
Iros shook his head. He thought carefully and suggested that Fiona include Davout.
"It's really strange. If you had to choose, why..." Fiona secretly glanced out the window.
The meaning of the Grand Duchess is very simple, why not Raymond?
"Raymond is not a devout believer in women. He has always believed in the Storm God."
Iros shook his head lightly: "
In contrast, when Davout was still Nicholas, he was already a very devout believer in women.
Furthermore, the choice of Davout was based on family background. He was born in the Batoria Empire. Not to mention his excellent moral character and strength, he stepped forward at critical moments, which is in line with the spirit of chivalry."
"Um."
Fiona could only nod. The Grand Duchess thought for a while and then asked Iros for his opinion: "So, it's just Davout and Goodwin?"
What do you mean by Davout and Lucien?
Iros's heart moved. He thought that Fiona, this little girl, was really powerful, so he quietly added Goodwin to the group.
On the surface, he was asking for his opinion, but in fact, he was secretly adding private goods. If he nodded, wouldn't Lucien's quota be confirmed?

But that's okay, it's originally an internal discussion, and it's just a little fun for the dwarves to play tricks on each other.
Iros thought for a while and shook his head:
"Davout is the first Guard of the Holy Grail, and he is currently the only one. Letting him serve as a marshal can set an example. This is okay. As for Goodwin, I don't think we should make such a hasty decision and wait for him.
Speaking of coming back from the north, he should be on the way already, right?"ωωw..net
"It will arrive in another week." Fiona took out a document and handed it to Ilos. Fiona was a little embarrassed: "Teacher Gonzalez also likes Goodwin."
"I'll have a chat with him when he arrives and ask him about his current situation and his views on many things."
Iros took the document and glanced at it. He suddenly remembered something: "By the way, where are Themis and Ekaterina?"
"They, Themis has gone to train Catherine as a female courtier."
Fiona picked up the tea cup again, half-smiling but not smiling: "I agree."
"Training?"
Iros suddenly had a bad premonition: "Wait a minute, Themis' so-called training for female courtiers is..."

"Also, what are you going to do with the remaining knight nobles?" Iros continued: "This time there will be hundreds of knight families deprived of their noble titles, right?"
"I will give them another chance, including those losers from Baldwin's Clement family who hid in Marienburg. I will give them another chance." Fiona held out a finger.
He smiled kindly: "An opportunity for a redemption expedition."
