Chapter 115: Meetings

While everyone enjoyed a hearty breakfast, the early morning was obviously a little unfriendly to the nobles who lived in Shodrea.

I saw that all the nobles in Shudrea got up early today and rushed to the same place.

Whether these nobles are in high spirits, or sleepy-eyed, or full of resentment, no matter what kind of psychology these nobles hold, they are very determined to go in the same direction.

At this time, the center of the capital city was bustling with activity, and even the old commoners who lived in the city had never seen so many aristocratic gatherings in their lives.

The House of the Nobles, the symbol of political power in the Duchy of Erel, is the place where decisions are made on all laws.

Many bills have been issued here that have changed the lives of countless people, and it is also here that the most heinous murderers have been punished.

It was here that the establishment of the Duchy was proclaimed, and it was also here that traitors who betrayed the Duchy were punished.

This is a place that countless men in the Duchy of Erel want to set foot in, and even some young people in the city of Shyderia are striving to be able to participate in the meeting of nobles.

Although there are many stories about this noble council, its appearance is indeed very ordinary.

If no one told the stranger, he would have thought it was just some large abandoned theater.

But the first feeling of the stranger was not wrong, and even this was the origin of the predecessor of the Council of Nobles.

After the last arduous battle, Archduke Xavier and his knights in the abandoned theater decided on the course of action and the name of the kingdom.

Probably because of habit, most of the places where Archduke Xavier held meetings in the future also chose here.

There were also people who suggested that they should change places, because it was too simple to be worthy of the identity of the person holding the meeting here.

But these people's requests were all rejected by Grand Duke Xavier, and he just said that I thought it was good here, and he made everyone shut up.

Although in the years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiudria has also sent people to repair it many times, but it still looks very shabby on the outside, and it still looks like a dilapidated theater, but the inside is very different.

The interior decoration has become low-key and gorgeous, and the walls have been repaired to avoid some troublesome problems such as wind and rain leakage.

Yes, you heard it right, the first noble council was really shabby, not even as good as some commoners' houses.

Although Archduke Xavier did not choose to relocate, he ordered a statue to be carved in front of the Noble Council.

The statue appears to be a knight's sword dug deep into a code of law, and the huge pages are engraved with the first and most severe law issued from this council of nobles.

Because the early days of the principality can really be regarded as turbulent, even many big nobles are not satisfied with the rule of Archduke Xavier, and some of the big nobles are even plotting rebellion in private.

Therefore, in this undercurrent situation, most of the legal punishments are mainly beheading and exile, and even stealing uses the punishment of amputated hands, which can be said to be very strict.

As soon as this law came out, almost the entire northern territory was covered with a layer of blood, and more than 100,000 people died because of the punishment of the law in just one year.

However, it is also because of this iron-blooded method that the territory of the principality can be stabilized so quickly.

Although some old people now criticize the harshness of that law, they also have to admit that it is because of the existence of this law that their suffering will end in such a short time.

But the current law has been revised many times, removing some of the more severe punishments, making the current law more humane.

With this in mind, turn your gaze to the current meeting of the nobles.

I saw that the aristocratic council in the center of the capital was full of people, and from time to time someone found their place to sit down, and then closed their eyes and rested.

A meeting was nothing to them, but getting up early in the morning would kill some of the fallen nobles.

Among the nobles present, there were gray-haired, energetic, pale-faced, and even some disabled people who were also in the clubhouse.

These disabled aristocrats were obviously more energetic than the richly dressed aristocrats, and even had a killing aura that others could easily feel.

When all the seats were full, the clock began to ring outside the Noble Council on the hour.

After this bell rang, the meeting room, which was still a little noisy, instantly fell silent, and all the nobles sat and looked at the center of the venue, not even daring to breathe.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, a tall knight pushed out an old man in a wheelchair.

The old man's eyes were cloudy, his hair was gray, and even a faint age spot had appeared on his face, and he leaned weakly on his seat, giving people the feeling that he might die at any time. Love Me eBook

When all the nobles present saw the old man in the center of the venue, their faces were full of shock, and even those nobles who were physically disabled had already emitted bursts of murderous aura, which made the eyelids of the ordinary nobles around them jump.

Although they also received some news through their own connections, they did not expect the situation to be so serious.

This old man in a wheelchair is the pinnacle of power in this principality, known by everyone as the patron saint, the living myth, the victorious general, Archduke Xavier.

Among them, the three nobles who sat at the front of all the nobles had the most solemn expressions on their faces, and even gave the impression that they could squeeze water out of their gloomy faces.

For a moment there was some noise in the meeting of nobles, an uproar, whispers, and even the sound of something falling on the ground.

The various sounds are intertwined, giving a feeling of extreme chaos.

"Quiet!"

An old voice appeared in their ears, and although it was gentle, it had an irresistible momentum, which silenced the nobles.

I saw that the old man in the wheelchair opened his somewhat cloudy eyes, but at this time, those eyes revealed a ray of light, quietly observing all the nobles in the conference hall.

At this time, all the nobles saw the old man in the wheelchair exuding such a majesty, although they felt that their performance at this time was a little embarrassing, but their originally hanging hearts also became stable again at this time.

However, this overwhelming power only lasted for a moment before disappearing, and the old man in the wheelchair collapsed in his seat again, and his eyes began to become cloudy again.

"Today's topic is normal, you don't need to worry too much about my physical condition, I know it very well. ”

The gentle voice appeared in everyone's ears again, although the current voice was no longer as imposing as just now, but this gentle voice also calmed the panic in everyone's hearts.

"Now that His Excellency has spoken, don't waste time and start today's topic. ”

One of the three nobles sitting at the front spoke, and although his voice was a little small, everyone present could hear it clearly.

At this time, all the nobles in the field were straight, and they were obviously more afraid of this nobleman than the old man in the center of power.

However, this nobleman is indeed afraid of his power and status, and as for who this person is, we will talk about it later.

Among them, the aristocratic young man who had just had a nightmare last night also appeared in this aristocratic council, but his position was quite low, and he could almost be said to be in the last row of the council.

Now he sat listlessly in his chair, with deep dark circles on the outside of his eyes, as if he had not rested well from nightmares.

If it weren't for the fact that he respected the place so much, perhaps he would have begun to doze off by now.

However, when he saw the old man appear in the center of the clubhouse, the sleepiness disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he even sat up from the chair and leaned forward, trying to make sure that he was not mistaken, whether it was a hallucination that he was too sleepy.

However, after receiving an affirmative answer, the young man's face was full of confusion and worry, as well as a trace of sadness and nostalgia.

He sat down in his chair and fell into deep memories.

Even the silence after that didn't make him feel too much spirited, but he couldn't extricate himself from his own world, and even the whole person began to reveal a trace of despair.

After the announcement began, aristocrats began to stand up from their seats one after another to report their situation.

Some of them asked for support because of the bad harvest in their own realm, some raised some disputes with other nobles and asked them to arbitrate, and some made small suggestions about the kingdom.

When these nobles spoke, all the nobles listened attentively, and some nobles even took some notes from time to time, or nodded in agreement.

Although there were a lot of people, most of the things they said were different, which made it suddenly sound a little good.

Listening to their conversations, it gives people some insight into most parts of the kingdom, as well as some things between nobles.

For example, who is at war with whom, for example, who is married to whom, or whose son is promoted to the title again.

Things like this often happened in this council, and there were even nobles who fought in this place, but the end of these two nobles was not very good.

Most of the things raised by the nobles will be resolved immediately, and the rest will be recorded by a special clerk for later discussion, after all, it is not very realistic to solve so many things in one day.

As the sun rose little by little, there were fewer and fewer nobles who got up to talk about things, and the three nobles led by them looked at the sky outside and looked at each other again.

In the end, it was the man who spoke just now who spoke again, and his words instantly attracted the attention of the audience.
