Chapter 36-36-Game of Thrones
In the feudal era, there are generally two situations for the succession of territories after the extinction of nobles.
One situation is that the territory is directly taken back by the lord, and becomes the territory directly under the lord or entrusted to other nobles.
This kind of situation is not particularly common, and it is often seen when the lord is strong or the family with no heirs has no marriage or collateral branch.
The other is the vast majority of cases, that is, after some open and secret fighting, the territory is inherited by the married family of the extinct family or the collateral branch family with certain inheritance rights.
The same is true for the world of Myria.
More than that, because there is extraordinary power in the world of Miria, and the marriage between extraordinary people can increase the probability of awakening extraordinary power in the offspring, so the marriage between nobles in this world is more frequent.
Take the Castel family as an example. If you really want to track it down, almost the entire Duchy of Boulder, and even some other noble families in the Crescent Kingdom outside the Duchy of Boulder, have married Castel. distant or near relatives.
In other words, if Charlotte hiccups, families outside the Duchy of Boulder and even the Duchy with weak claims on the inheritance of the Earl of Castel will be caught.
Of course, if there is a claim, there is a ranking.
Among all the succession rankings, the Boulder family, who is both the lord and the main family, and who has been married to the previous generation, deserves to be number one.
Others have at most a weak claim, but the Bold family has a strong claim, or even a direct successor.
That is to say, once something happens to Charlotte, the Earl of Castel will almost certainly return to the Duke's Mansion.
Charlotte, who has already supplemented the noble knowledge of this world, quickly figured out these ways.
"How did the assassin's weapon come in?"
She thought for a while and asked again.
This time, Quasimodo looked at the black cat Niss, and Niss let out a hey and said:
"It is a temporary space magic, and it is a rather advanced technique. Your servant is not a superhuman, so naturally he can't see it."
"Temporary attachment? Is there a superhuman behind him?"
Charlotte's heart moved slightly.
"Yeah, meow, but he refuses to say it, or he can't say it. He should have been cast with a mental forgetting spell. He just remembers that he has a weapon that can be hidden."
"In his words, even if he is used by others, as long as he can avenge his family, he is willing."
Nice licked his paw and said.
"But if you continue to trace, you can still trace to the Duke's Mansion, right?"
Charlotte took a sip of the milk and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Nice hecked twice, which was regarded as acquiescing, and it was obvious that "evidence" had been found.
"A fool who is overwhelmed and used as a gun!"
Charlotte's eyes turned cold, and she added a new label to the assassin.
Obviously, this is another planting.
Indeed, from the perspective of inheritance, if anyone wants Charlotte to die more, it is undoubtedly the Duke of Bold.
Such framing is easier to be believed by the public.
But Charlotte didn't think the Duke of Bold would be so stupid.
Nobles have noble rules, and obeying the rules is the most important thing for all Miriam nobles.
In Game of Thrones, a lot of filth can be hidden in the dark, but it cannot be shown on the bright side.
If the Duke of Bold did assassinate her and it was revealed, he would be charged with murder.
This is no ordinary murder.
As the beneficiaries of the extraordinary ruling system, the nobles of Myria have privileges.
The Holy Royal Court and the founding emperor of the Unet Empire, Charlemagne I, who established the current political structure of Myria, once signed a "Holy Code", which clearly stipulated the various rights and obligations of nobles.
The murder of nobles, even the lower nobles, is not allowed in the political circle of the Miriam world.
Even the holy royal court regards this as a crime, and even has the right to excommunicate the murderer and directly excommunicate him!
The power of the king is granted by God, and the power of the king comes from the power of God, and the same is true for the nobility's control over the land.
At that time, it will be very lively.
Once excommunicated, the Duke of Boulder's control over the territory and even its legitimacy will be weakened.
At that time, the inheritance rights of the Earl of Castel will definitely not be obtained, and the vassal nobles may also take the opportunity to make trouble.
Everyone is not a fool, everyone is staring at the Duke's Mansion.
The bosses in the feudal system are not so easy to be. The vassal nobles are all human beings.
Even the Castel family, praised by the Duke of Bold as the humerus of the principality, used to fabricate accounts to lower the apparent income of the territory, thereby reducing the contract tax paid.
Not to mention other families.
Most of the vassal nobles up and down in Boulder actually wish that the Duke's Mansion would weaken immediately, so that they could sit down and raise prices to reduce the contract tax and levy ratio in their vassal contracts.
When that time really comes, I am afraid that even the other lords and even the royal family of the New Moon Kingdom will be ready to move.
Presumably the King of the New Moon will not miss this good opportunity, and will definitely use this as an excuse to weaken the Bold family, and even take back part of the duke's direct-controlled territory.
Centralization of power has always been the dream of every feudal monarch.
So... as long as the Duke of Bold is not stupid, it is impossible to assassinate Charlotte.
At least you can't get your hands dirty, and if you want to do it, you have to do it secretly, and you can't be caught by others.
Not to mention that this is the worst method.
Thinking in another way, if Charlotte herself is the Duke of Bold, wouldn’t it be good if she fell into a horse accident after the marriage?
Even if you don't fall off the horse, the heir you will give birth to will be Boulder!
It's not like the Duke's family doesn't have... Damn it!
Seems to have thought of something, Charlotte suddenly shivered, and his face was a little ugly.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of the rumors about those believers with broken mouths running trains when she was in the church hospital.
"Quasimodo, the duke invited me to the banquet a week later, and reminded me that it was related to the future of the Castel family. What do you mean by that?"
She took a deep breath and asked.
"Is it related to the future of the family?"
Quasimodo was stunned for a moment, with a dazed expression on his face.
Seeing his ababa expression, Charlotte knew that although his old servant was loyal, his political acumen might be almost zero.
"You said... the Duke's Mansion doesn't want to marry me, does it?"
Charlotte expressed her guess.
Quasimodo frowned:
"Marriage? But the Duke doesn't have male inheritance... Wait! That illegitimate child?!"
He suddenly widened his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Charlotte saw that her old servant became angry like an old hen guarding her cubs, and her beard was blown away:
"Dream! It's a dream!"
"He actually wants to marry our noble Castel family with a dirty illegitimate son. Even if he is a duke, he can't insult his master like this!"
Charlotte was taken aback by Quasimodo's reaction.
The always docile old servant started to curse like a powder keg on fire at this moment, and greeted the Duke's house from top to bottom, even if it was just a guess made by Charlotte.
And listening to the other party's filthy curses without aristocratic etiquette, Charlotte gradually came back to it.
Same as Blue Star, no, worse than Blue Star.
The status of an illegitimate child of a nobleman in this world is quite low.
Not only does he have no inheritance rights, but he is also at the bottom of the chain of contempt for nobles.
It is no wonder that Quasimodo is so angry. Even if he is the son of a duke, the status of an illegitimate son determines that Leno's status in the aristocratic circle is not even as good as that of a baron at the bottom.
The most, that is, relying on extraordinary strength to be equivalent to a knight, or a knight with stains.
However, Quasimodo's reaction made Charlotte heave a sigh of relief.
Even her own servants are so angry, so if the duke proposes a marriage, she can justly refuse with the honor of the family.
Quasimodo scolded for a long time.
While cursing and cursing, he seemed to be tired of cursing, and seemed to remember something, he suddenly stopped and asked:
"Wait, master, how old is the illegitimate son of the Duke's family? What kind of strength is it? Have you awakened the power of your bloodline?"
"I'm in my twenties, it seems to be the second level of Silver Moon."
Charlotte picked up the goblet, put it in her mouth gracefully, and said.
"Twenty years old? Silver Moon Level 2?!"
Quasimodo's eyes lit up instantly.
He stood up and pressed the table excitedly:
"Master! We must take him down! We must find a way to take him down!"
"Poof..."
Charlotte choked and sprayed Quasimodo's face with milk.
Quasimodo didn't care at all, but said excitedly:
"Second Level Silver Moon! He is Second Level Silver Moon! Such a young Second Level Silver Moon!"
"You said it earlier! Then it will be fine! No... It's better to say that his status as an illegitimate child is a good thing!"
"By combining with him, the family will have one more strong support, and it will be a strong support with unlimited potential!"
"Strength can smooth out stains, plus illegitimate children can't inherit the territory and must marry into the family. Our Castel family can definitely continue the blood!"
"Not to mention that you have awakened the power of your bloodline today, and it is still so powerful. With the combination of the strong... you will definitely be able to give birth to a stronger heir!"
"I got a strong support from the second level of Silver Moon for nothing, and continued a strong bloodline..."
"Master! This is a great thing!"
Looking at Quasimodo who was getting more and more excited as he talked, Charlotte's face completely darkened.
She wished she could pick up the goblet and smash it down on the other's shiny forehead.
Good job with your uncle!
Bring an heir of your size!
Pinch grandma!
After crossing over, Lao Tzu dressed up as a woman, acted cutely and acted...that was for the pleasure of being a lord in the future!
Instead of taking off your clothes, closing your eyes and lying on the bed to make others feel good!
Marriage?
Fuck!
No way!
