Chapter 56: Title
"A few days ago I got a letter from the military department that your cousin Stern Liebesil had taken the throne. ”
"Uh-huh, cousin, oh, Cousin Stern..."
Charles thought for a moment, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.
My aunt married early, and although she has not had much contact with the family in recent years, the children of the two families often played together when Charles was young.
He was too young to know how inferior he was to his hunchback.
Although the two children of the Libersil family are quite urban, they do not show much.
But children's hearts are the most sensitive, and after spending time with them, Charles began to realize that he was flawed.
Thinking of this, Charles pursed his lips and wondered, "But... Do they still have a title to inherit?"
The success of the Libersil family depends on an old man who can fight in their family.
The old man has been a mercenary, a nurse, and I heard that he has worked part-time as a killer for a few days, but he has not let go of anything that can speak with his fists.
Until one day, he enlisted and became the personal guard of the old duke of Hot Springs, this Houmen personal guard, he has been doing it for thirty years, following Bailu Gong to kill the enemy and behead the generals, and he also earned a noble family business of a second-class viscount for himself.
The old man had two sons under his knees.
The eldest brother took over his father's business and served as a personal guard for the old Duke of Bailu, and also inherited the only title in the family and became a third-class viscount, and his child was also a chosen one, and was arranged by the old duke to be a guard next to his grandson Earl Bailu.
The second child, that is, Charles's uncle, was born an ordinary person and has been taking care of the family business by the old man's side, but he has no chance of being crowned with the family.
Stern is the child of the second child, fortunately inherited from generation to generation, he is a chosen one, he was sent to the barracks as soon as he became an adult, and he has been fighting in the southeast defense line for several years, and now he is the leader of the first battalion.
Ogu obviously also knew about the situation of the Libersil family, he paused, shook his head and said to Charles:
"Stern didn't inherit the title of Libersil, he came from his mother, your aunt, the Griffins. ”
Charles had just swallowed a mouthful of food, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but get up, and exclaimed:
"What! my family's title?"
Agu rubbed his eyebrows and said:
"Don't worry, inheriting the title of a distant relative, this kind of thing cannot be managed by the military department alone, this notice is also stamped with the signature of the Ministry of Justice, and I have already sent a letter back to the military department and the Ministry of Justice to verify this matter..."
Although Charles was furious, in front of the teacher, he had to grit his teeth and wait for the teacher to continue.
Ogu nodded, and then said: "Last July, when the new army was recruited, you fell into the river and disappeared, and there was no news for half a year, so your cousin applied to the military department, saying that the Griffin family blood has been broken, and according to the rules, if one of the close relatives has military merits, you can inherit the title." ”
"Military merit... Military merits, but at least one three-star battle medal can be inherited, can he really block the rush of a magic beast alone?"
It is not easy to obtain a three-star battle medal, at least you have to kill a fierce adult magic beast independently to obtain this honor.
Fiona sat and listened for a long time, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she said disdainfully:
"Of course Stern can't, but his grandfather has been by Bailugong's side for a long time, and he is also a little connected, so he can be said to be the commander of the army guarding the Southern Military Region, and every time the southern defense line defends against magic beasts, he is dispatched to participate. After a few years, he really saved up a three-star battle medal. ”
In addition to the high-level generals in the army, they often fight collectively in the face of the magic beasts, and the magic beasts are killed in the battle, and the whole army is given military merits, even if the battalion commander who contributes more efforts, he can only get a one-star battle medal at most.
The promotion of battle medals is every three into one, and one three-star battle medal requires three two-star battle medals, that is, nine one-star battle medals. If you want to inherit the title by relying on such a star-by-star accumulation of military merits, the battalion led by Stern must at least participate in the killing of more than a dozen magic beasts.
"Well, am I not still alive now, and how can I inherit this title from him?"
Charles felt that the matter was simply ridiculous, it was not a day or two before he returned to the royal city of Alton, and the matter of the young eagle was definitely not trivial, he did not believe that the two officials could ignore their surnames.
Agu shook his head, the dissatisfaction on his face became stronger, and the military department really brushed the tiger's whiskers this time: "When you came back, both departments had already issued a document to register the title under Stern's name, and attacking the knighthood was just a scene of effort..."
Charles didn't think about it, so he blurted out: "I'm still alive and well, even if I don't save enough three stars, my father's title will wait for me for three years! I will never allow anyone to touch him!"
A flash of relief flashed in Agu's eyes, and Fiona couldn't help but play with it in her eyes, gave the teacher a look, and stepped forward to persuade Charles:
"Charles, the two things are ugly this time, but I heard that the lord wrote your contribution to "Dragon Fist" in a reply letter a few days ago, and the military department knows that it is indebted, and has agreed to ask Her Majesty the Queen for credit for you, and return you a three-star battle medal, with your qualifications, you can stand alone in a few years, and it is not difficult to make a four-star battle medal..."
If an ordinary soldier does not have the shadow of his ancestors, he must gather enough four-star battle medals to be knighted, if Charles has a three-star battle medal in his hand, with his current strength, maybe he can meet two magic beasts like the steel bone demon ape that have just transformed and evolved, and he can immediately fight for the title himself.
Charles turned his head unmoved, gritted his teeth and said categorically: "Dragon Fist is my uncle's work, I would rather not have this three-star battle medal, as long as my father's knighthood can wait for me for another two years as usual!"
Ogu looked at Charles's resolute posture, quite a bit stubborn like he was back then, the smile in his eyes grew stronger, and he was about to step forward to appease, but was stopped by Fiona.
I saw Fiona with a smile on her face, but she still continued to persuade with a serious tone: "Do you know that if you endure this breath, most of the officials of the two ministries will have to accept your affection, and your title will only be higher in the future..."
When Charles heard Fiona's persuasion, his brows furrowed slightly, and the resolute color in his eyes was great, and he saw that he was full of indignation, and said quickly:
"My father had been in the army for many years and rarely came home on weekdays, and the two things he valued most in his life were the casting skills of my Griffin heirloom, and the other was the last third-class baron.
I used to be ignorant, I didn't learn the ability to strike iron, and I have disappointed my father, but I can still practice the craft in the future, I have made it wait for a year for this title, and I must not watch it be taken away by others!"
The teacher is very gracious, Charles has always been grateful to Ogu, and has never spoken to Ogu so loudly, but this time he was a little rude to express his heart, but Ogu listened to it like drinking elixir, and his heart was very comfortable.
Fiona didn't know how happy the teacher was listening to it, and even she didn't know how long it had been since she had heard such innocent words.
But it's really interesting to tease this junior brother, just listen to her continue to analyze the pros and cons for Charles:
"But if you want to come back, not only will you offend your cousin who is in an important position in the army, but it will also be tantamount to a slap in the face of everyone in the two departments, and I am afraid that you will not be able to go in the future..."
Charles finally couldn't bear it anymore, and with an irrepressible look of disappointment, he turned around and interrupted:
"Madame!"
As soon as he turned around, he saw that Fiona's beautiful face was full of appreciation, and Agu was even more relieved and comfortable, looking at the two of them looking at each other tacitly and smiling, Charles was a little confused for a while, so he had to stay in place.
"Hahahaha..."
Agu looked at Charles's stunned little face, only to feel that this student was too angry with himself, and his chest was comfortable for a while and it was difficult to speak, so he only heard him laugh loudly for a while, and said happily:
"Silly boy, what's yours is yours, this title, the teacher is turning over the military department, and he will help you come back!"
