As night falls, candlelight sways in Fore City, the main city of the Principality of Jean, and people who have been busy all day begin their nightlife. Of course, there are also some special guys who have just melted their bodies into the darkness.
After all, the nine principalities are all existences with profound historical backgrounds. Even if they are as lonely as the Principality of Zeon, they will not lose even the most basic bottom line.
The ingredients sold may not be the freshest, but the market area still exists. The instructors may not be top-notch, but the Principality College has never closed down.
The hardship of life is just not being able to eat the food that makes you feel satisfied. It is not the same as life and death, nor is it a choiceless resentment.
Because compared to the Vikings living on the frozen continent, the Principality of Zeon can be said to have a pleasant climate, fertile soil, and also serves as one of the four largest ports in the world, East Antler Bay.
As the night grew darker, a mother and son walked out of the main entrance of the palace together. The ten casual cavalrymen of the principality had long been accustomed to this, but their dominant hand was still placed on the end of the scabbard without leaving a trace.
"Today I plan to donate another sum of money to the monastery. I heard that mosquitoes and flies are rampant recently, and the number of people infected with malaria is increasing."
"Pity the poor poor people who are barely covered with clothes. Not to mention children, even strong adults are not immune to this kind of thing."
The woman smoothed her hair on the temples with her hands and said softly. This person's name is Margaret, the matron of the Principality of Jean and the wife of Grand Duke Jose.
She is one of the few nobles supported by the poor in the city of Fore because she has always shown herself to be a good wife and mother, and she loves the people like her own children, without any arrogance of the powerful.
However, it is precisely because of Margaret's character that although the city of Fletcher is a bit dilapidated, people's lives are not hopeless.
At least those who couldn't survive could still more or less get a clear soup and water from the monastery. Moreover, these expenses were all paid for by Margaret personally, and never used a copper coin from the Principality of Jean. p>
Grand Duke Jose has always maintained an attitude of neither opposing nor approving of this kind of behavior. This is because this is the majesty he should have as a person in power, and it is a bottom line that must not be violated.
"Mother, I don't think food can fundamentally solve their problems. The land outside Fletcher City has been abandoned for many years. How about we give them a job and renovate the outside of the city."
"Of course, I will explain this proposal to my father tomorrow. I believe that with the wisdom of my father and the three ministers, they will definitely agree with my idea."
"In addition, the admission standards for the Principality's cavalry can also be lowered appropriately. In this way, these people will have a life goal, and our Principality of Zeon can also increase its strength."
The young man accompanying Margaret spoke, but these words seemed a bit funny coming from the muscular man's mouth.
The accompanying guards shook their heads slightly when they heard this, because even a bunch of warriors like them felt that the feasibility of these things was close to zero.
Putting aside Grand Duke Jose, it is estimated that those three adults can drown each other with Tumo stars. And although there is a large wasteland outside the city of Fore, how to use it cannot be decided in a few words.
As for lowering the standards for admission to the Principality's cavalry, it is even more nonsense. The Principality's cavalry is the mainstay of maintaining a territory, and no matter how small the number is, it will never be mixed into the sand.
The young man's name is Lu Xiu, the son of Jose and the future heir to the Principality of Jean. Although he has good strength, his personality is inherently dull, and many nobles even secretly call him a "walking muscle man".
Moreover, his strength was obtained through his own hard work. For him who lacks natural talent, this kind of single-minded character seems to make up for his biggest flaw.
If Boom and Lu Xiu met, they would be shocked by each other's efforts. It is a kind of silent stubbornness, a persistence that must hold the hilt of the sword tightly even if the hands are torn by fighting spirit.
However, it is precisely because of this that Lu Xiu is often ridiculed by his peers. But he doesn't care about the ridicule and has no interest in even replying.
Margaret sighed after hearing this, but she did not directly insult her son. Although she was the mother of Jean, she was just an ordinary person at heart.
Therefore, compared to those things among professionals, she prefers the life of ordinary people. She works at sunrise and breathes in every day, and truly feels everything this world brings to her.
The group finally arrived at the entrance of the monastery and saw that countless poor people had been waiting for a long time, and many people had even crowded in front of the long table where food was distributed.
As the nun's hand slowly fell, the servants took out the barrels from the monastery. Matron Margaret and Prince Lu Xiu personally went to battle. One distributed food to the poor, while the other entertained countless people.
words of gratitude.
Margaret and her son Lu Xiu do this every month. Although this kind of behavior is called "showing off" in the aristocratic circle, this "showing off" has been going on for five years.
"I cannot make everyone happy, but I hope more people can live." This is Margaret's motto, and it is also his magnanimity as Mistress Jean.
However, just when there was harmony in front of the monastery, the prince Lu Xiu was suddenly stunned, and then stood in front of a poor boy.
"Hand over the things and I can guarantee that you will not die today." Prince Lu Xiu shouted in a deep voice.
"What? I'm just an orphan. You don't plan to frame me." The young man looked slightly nervous, but he still said what he had planned.
"I only ask you two questions. First, who made the fingerprints on my mother's skirt? Second, is there a tricolor elk embroidered on the money bag in your arms?" Prince Lu Xiu took a step forward.
, which means that he will take down the opponent directly.
"You must have made a mistake. I didn't bring a storage bag with me when I went out today. As for this fingerprint, it was accidentally left on it by my servant."
"Little guy, go home quickly when you are full. If you are hungry next time, you are welcome to come again."
The matron, Margaret, raised her hand to stop her son's aggressiveness. She patted him on the shoulder and then signaled that he could leave.
When the young man heard this, he didn't thank him, didn't return a gift, and didn't say anything else. He silently squeezed out of the crowd and finally disappeared into a certain alley.
"Mother, I think you did something wrong today, because it won't change anything, and it will even encourage this unhealthy trend." Prince Lu Xiu said with some confusion.
"Maybe, but if he didn't want to survive, why would he take the risk of being beheaded by the principality's cavalry to attack me, Mistress Jean?" Margaret shook her head, her eyes filled with sadness. The group of people finally returned to the palace, and the midnight bell rang in the city of Fletcher at the right time. But in a certain shadow, the young man was smiling from ear to ear, showing no sign of repentance.
"Hey! I really made a profit today, more than thirty gold coins, and those rocks that I don't know what they are. Are they the legendary magic crystals?"
"Sure enough, the nobles are all idiots. I have these things, how can I still stay in the Principality of Jean? The world is huge, and from now on I can be regarded as a respectable person!"
The young man secretly rejoiced as he left the city of Fletcher in the dark night. However, his fate would not change because of those belongings, and he was even expected to die because of them in the end.
