Although Boom and Rikka are now in the city that never sleeps in Xisai High Court, their living habits and daily routine have never changed.
Wake up at dawn and fall asleep after the moon reaches the branches. Although the regular life is a bit boring, it is the nature that each other has developed over a long time.
The magic light band of "Elemental Summoning" was still dancing, and Rikka was carefully chewing the rice balls in the dimensional space. Christine, who was opposite the door, stared blankly at the sky, and the market area outside the alley entrance was still bustling with people.
At midnight, a sudden speech came here. The Cisse cavalryman drew out his rapier, and the originally noisy market area fell into an icy abyss.
As the climate warms, the number of criminals increases. Although the High Court says the system is loose, it does not mean it allows chaos to rage.
"I don't need to introduce who I am. I believe you all already know that I came here today without preparing any principal laws and regulations in advance."
"But, haven't you gone too far? It's just stealing some meat and vegetables, but recently someone dared to reach out to the waist of a noble!"
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. From today on, anyone who steals will be imprisoned. As for whether you can come out alive, please ask yourself."
The words were concise yet dignified, clarifying the problem without wasting a second. The market area returned to normal again, except that the number of city guards doubled.
Many criminals who left quietly kept silent about them. If Archduke Grylls was a jackal, then this man was the most ferocious hound around him.
Chloe, the Archon of the Principality, has a withdrawn personality. He is unsmiling and unapproachable most of the time. However, he has made an indispensable contribution to the orderly system of the Principality in High Court.
Wherever people look for order, they find only endless chaos. Chaos can always defeat order because it is more organized.
But order is the key to success. No amount of gravel can build a city wall, and no amount of mobs can match the well-disciplined Cisse cavalry.
Although Chloe is also a noble, his current position was not inherited from his father. Cisse is different from any principality in the August Continent, and the most prominent feature is the change of members of the Royal Council.
The electorate, a system that has maintained the prosperity of the Principality of Cisse for thousands of years, is a rule that cannot be abolished. Even a successor as powerful as Grylls would not dare to comment.
This system is very simple to put it bluntly. The Grand Duke of Cisse has absolute power and can choose the reserve candidates for the Royal Council at will.
But in the end, who can walk into the stone house that represents the supreme power of the principality is not decided by Grand Duke Cisse alone, but by voting.
This system, which seems to seriously weaken the power of the Grand Duke, invisibly ensures the vitality of each generation of the Royal Council and makes the entire principality prosperous.
Consul, treasurer, commander, bachelor. No one dares to say that he can sit in his position for the rest of his life, and no one can enrich himself personally.
Whoever belongs to him belongs to him, but everything belongs to Grand Duke Grylls. Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it is the most true portrayal.
Therefore, in order to seek recognition from everyone, ministers not only have to work hard every day, but also come up with creative ideas from time to time.
Whether it is issues of faith related to the gods, or the development direction of the four main cities of Cisse, whether it is the change of the principality's combat power, or the delicate balance between expenditure and income.
Grand Duke Grylls only cares about results, or he is simply a fanatical supporter of consequentialism. Failure to do well indicates incompetence, and any losses suffered by Cisse must be borne by someone.
Therefore, as the High Court Consul, Chloe has never slacked off even though he has been in a high position for decades. As he said back then, as long as he lives for one day, he will manage Cisse in an orderly manner.
Preface.
Chloe's position as consul was not inherited from her ancestors, let alone passed on to future generations. This kind of power is like a pet dog with its own name engraved on it. No matter who abducts it, it can always find its way home.
direction.
The time goes back several decades ago, when Grand Duke Cisse was still young, but he was forced to ascend to the throne. And the moonlight that night was as bright as tonight.
The noisy stone house was crowded with people, and there were hundreds of servants waiting outside. The nobles were spitting at each other, trying hard to get their families a place.
The old king's request for help was discarded in the corner. No one thought about it carefully. Even taking a look at it felt like it was a waste of time.
The helpless Grylls was protected by two old men. If not, it is believed that his head would have been removed. One of them was Kamerin, and the other was Hercules.
That night was the final sentencing day for the "Emperor-Elect". Anyone with brains knew the weight of Consul Cisse. He represented the second power of the High Court and was the person who influenced the trend of the entire principality. p>
"Master Kamerin, Master Hercules, if they continue to make such noise, then kill them all." Young Grylls said softly.
The slightly immature figure echoed in the stone house. Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard the words, but then they realized that they were just participants. The final decision was made by this kid who had just taken over.
"Chloe, I appoint you as the consul of Cisse today. I hope you can show me a brand new principality that is free from the shackles of the gods."
As soon as these words were spoken, two waves of magic power surged into the sky. Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to bow and salute, acknowledging Chloe's identity as a consul.
At this point, the consul who had followed the old Grand Duke all his life officially resigned. And Chloe's name spread throughout the ancient continent in an instant.
Twenty years, just twenty years, Chloe transformed Cisse from the old king's weakling to a powerful principality that could challenge the new king Fernando.
The city wall that had existed for thousands of years was destroyed and replaced by the "unbreakable wall" where the principality's cavalry were stationed. The heavy city gate was never closed again. In Chloe's eyes, the so-called "secret bazaar" was just
Just play with the rest by yourself.
Open and free, but without losing absolute dominance. The essence of Chloe's power has been fully reflected, and today's Cisse High Court has just emerged.
However, even so, Chloe never suggested the abolition of the "electoral candidate" system. Because in his eyes, this system is the wisest decision and the only way out for Cisse's future.
"Sir, it's getting late. Let's go home. You also need to rest." The old servant said softly.
Chloe looked at the whitened sky and nodded immediately. But the carriage drove towards the palace, because there were still many things waiting for him to deal with today.
However, Chloe sighed softly. In his heart, the system of "Emperor Elector" should not be limited to the ministers of the Imperial Council.
The person at the helm of the principality should take the lead. Maybe Grylls is a strong leader, but who can guarantee that his descendants can be so wise?
But I can only think about these words in my heart. Chloe is not a fool and naturally knows his way. Unless Xisai is in a desperate situation where life and death are at stake, he will not make this final blow.
