As a result, all the nobles who were already preparing to leave stayed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Not only did they leave behind themselves, but they also left behind their loved ones, all their possessions, and a large number of family guards. During the time when Anarian struggled to regain the battle in Micheng, Merandil saw the perseverance of the human nobles for the first time. In the war-torn years away from the delicate life, even the most humble nobles in peacetime did not complain, and took the initiative to learn all the skills that could be used to gain in war. They are nobles who can make their clothes and feet not move in the slightest with their graceful steps, they are also creatures who can gnaw snow and drink wind and fight when they take off their noble clothes, and they can still smile and take revenge with their actions in the face of the death of their relatives, and they will never succumb to the evil forces.

As the battle in Micheng stabilized, Aritan and Ziljan came to their aid, and Anarian was summoned by Ilendil to the main battlefield of the "Last Alliance" to participate in the defense of the Ballard Plains. But this time, all the nobles refused to go with them. The reason why they cling to Micheng is that "their relatives and friends have died in this land, and we and our descendants will always accompany and honor them here." ”

Until the end of the Battle of the Last Alliance, all the nobles refused to leave Gondor. Even after the war ended, Essidor put down his posture to persuade and even curry favor, and promised many preferential terms, there was still no way to get a nobleman to agree to return to the kingdom of Arnor with him.

For those two years, Essidor stayed in Gondor not only because he wanted to tutor Merandiel, who had become King of Gondor, but he wanted some nobles to return to Arnoor with him, and he didn't want the kingdom of Arnoor to become a kingdom without nobles. But he was disappointed, and with the death of Essidor, Arnoor remained a noble-free kingdom.

What does it mean to have no aristocrats? It means that when the country is in danger, there will be no nobles who dare to take on the burden to stand up and turn the tide; no one will still be able to make those in power feel awe in the face of the emperor with a posture of neither flattery, nor coquettishness, nor pity; and no one will convey to the whole country the principle that "virtue and honor are above all else." To put it more realistically, there is no noble country, and the marriage of the descendants of the royal family is worrying. If Arnoel had no nobles, would Essidor let Valendil grow up in the hands of such a mother with the help of a handmaiden, and if Arnoel had one or two nobles, the maids who followed them would not be in such a situation.

But the aristocracy can have it if they want to? This is not something that money and national power can be exchanged for. Without more than 100 years of precipitation, after more than three generations of inheritance and edification, how to cultivate a strong sense of mission, tenacious and unyielding nobles?

Not tempted by glory and wealth, not changed by poverty and hardship, and not surrendered to threats and violence, such living nobles abound, but there is no nobleman in the Kingdom of Arnol! It is tolerable without an example to guide the people, but what about the spouse of the future human emperor? To put it more realistically, most of Arnol's officials didn't really care whether Gondor was under the jurisdiction of the Emperor, after all, Anarian had done a lot for Gondor, and when the country was first founded, the thrones of Essidor and Anarion were also placed on equal terms on the left and right, and it was not a big deal for his son to obtain the real power of Gondor. However, if Gondor does not take it back, will the emperor beg for marriage from the king of Gondor and ask the king who is lower than him to agree to marry the noble daughters of Gondor as queens, and to do the same?

In order to make Valandil, who is about to succeed to the throne, less affected by his biological mother's bad influence, it is necessary to find a queen of noble birth for him.

The reason why the Arnoel officials wanted to choose a wife from a noble family for the emperor was not only because the descendants of the Danden royal family had the habit of intermarrying with nobles, but the most important reason was that they hoped that the queen could have a better influence on the emperor. Who else is more suitable for teaching by word and deed than the wife who is opposite day and night, and can better compare the superficiality and selfishness of the emperor's biological mother?

As for what Varandil thought about the marriage, the Arnold officials did not care or worry at all. Because "the emperor should marry with the noble lady" is exactly the creature that the emperor respects the most, the lord of Rivendell, Elrond. In order to make Valandil's requirements for his spouse reach the realm of the human emperor, he not only personally appointed a few handmaidens from the high elves for the human emperor, but also carried out a strict selection of the maids sent by Arnoor. By the actions of the wise man, when Valandil was 17 years old, he politely invited the maid who had been sent by Helana to accompany him to grow up.

Although the Emperor's mother wanted one of the maids to become Valandil's wife, and although this incident caused Hilana to lose her temper again, she was obviously unable to fully manipulate the Emperor of Humans, who had established the ability to think independently.

In any case, the Emperor of Man, under the mentor of Elrond, gradually developed for the better. However, after succeeding to the throne, Valandil needs to return to Arnoor to fulfill his guardian duties. Far from the teachings of the wise man, and having to face Xilana every day, who knows if the human emperor will be affected again?When the Arnoel officials asked for help, the wise man stood on the highest terrace in the Ringu and began to ponder. It wasn't until a long time later, when his eyes fell on the bookcase that the Emperor of Man had turned over countless times, that Elrond gave an answer that all humans admired.

"Find him a good wife. Gently flipping the yellowed pages, Elrond smiled unconsciously. "In a noble family of more than 300 years, you will inevitably find a girl with good quality and long-term vision. If she is gentle and tenacious, even if she is older than Valandil, she is still a good queen of mankind. ”

The wise man's method made the officials of Arnol, who were the eyes and ears of the Emperor and temporarily residing in Gondor, pay less attention to Merandil. In recent years, they have devoted almost all of their energy to interacting with the human aristocracy. Consult the genealogies of the various clans, learn about their different precepts, and even approach the patriarchs of the various clans in a seemingly flattering manner, just to increase contact with the noble ladies. It didn't take long for them to truly see the nobility imprinted in the bones of the aristocracy.

"Our ladies are what you want to see?" Before the material material returned to normal levels, the aristocratic elder in the old robe glanced at the bird's nest that had just finished picking out the miscellaneous hairs, and said while not being satisfied with the hands-on work: "We have guessed your purpose. Although it is a maid's child, it will be the emperor in the end. We will give a suitable candidate after deliberation based on his background. As for the right to choose, he doesn't think about it. Moreover, the candidates will only be from the side branches of the nobility. Let our immediate daughters respect a maid as their mother for the sake of marriage, and the emperor might as well send us to make snacks for Sauron. ”
