His Majesty the Emperor is the owner of the Odega Empire, and his words are equivalent to the orders issued by the supreme ruler of the empire, sacred and inviolable. His Majesty Fiwenlie XVIII was young and promising when he first ascended the throne. Pacifying the country and striking at strong neighbors, even the Orc Empire, which did not know what to fear, temporarily stopped the pace of plundering and showed respect for His Majesty the Eighteenth Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor was confident, and in order to appease and at the same time suppress the unruly nobles in the country, he divided the royal family and nobles who had made great honors for him on the throne and in the conquest of the Quartet...... I don't know if he is confident or arrogant, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't seem to realize the consequences of doing so.

As His Majesty grew old, the ambitions of the nobles gradually swelled, forming interest groups one after another, and some began to contact the Druid Church, wanting to use the clergy to subvert the imperial power. And when His Majesty the Emperor wanted to solve them again, he suddenly found that his energy and means were far inferior to when he was young, and he had to find another way.

Hathaway. Bell arrived at the Palace of Hermes at 1:50 p.m. on September 23, 901 A.D., and she entered the meeting room of His Majesty the Emperor alone, without paying attention to the tall and magnificent palace or the nobles in the corridors who were pointing at her...... It's a palace carved of gold and precious stones, and Hathaway now knows what it means to be splendid, compared to the Forbidden City in Beijing, which can only be regarded as a classical building full of literary atmosphere.

"Stop!" Two guards guarding outside the parlor stopped Hathaway and tried to search her.

"Humph!"

Hathaway snorted coldly. His eyes glared at the two guards in awe...... She is wearing a magic robe today, and according to the conventions of the Wizards Association, this behavior of the other party is a serious desecration against the magician, and she may bear the wrath of the magician at any time.

The atmosphere was tense, and it was clear that the guards did not want to give up their duties. At this time, the voice of His Majesty the Emperor came from the door at the right time, "Please let her in!" Could it be that a full-fledged magician would carry a knife with him to stab him? ”

The two guards retreated to the side with some weakness, and Hathaway didn't bother to bother with them, and walked in without squinting, looking at His Majesty the Emperor who was on the top of the throne.

No matter how powerful people are, they can't resist the power of time. Fiwenlie XVIII was over seventy years old. Despite good maintenance, it is inevitable that signs of aging will appear. The golden hair of the former sun god has become a little dry, and it has to rely on some special substances to add shine to it, and this substance has a strong stimulating effect on the nerves. So much so that His Majesty the Emperor was often irritable for no reason; The cheeks, which had been fair and plump, became saggy. There are quite a few brown age spots on the skin. Only the majesty of being an emperor on his body is increasing day by day, even if he is only wearing civilian clothes, he still has the imperial momentum of overlooking all living beings.

It's not just His Majesty the Emperor in the living room. There are also many aristocrats, who are either pot-bellied or gray-haired...... It's really like a gathering of likes!

Hathaway felt that in that kind of imperial majesty, a rotten breath came to her face, how could such an empire not be in danger?

"Aldina. Quincy. Bell's daughter, Hathaway. Bell, seeing His Majesty the Emperor, may you live a long and healthy life, and always be accompanied by the blessings of Artemis. ”

Hathaway. Bell didn't stop to salute the Supreme until he was a meter away from the Emperor...... She performed the magician's ceremony, not the aristocratic ceremony, so a minister next to her immediately reprimanded her.

The status of a magician is respected, but these ministers all represent the famous families of the empire, and many people even have eighth- or ninth-level magicians in their families, so they naturally don't care about a small first-level magician.

The Eighteenth Philavian on the throne was also looking at Hathaway, and he felt that this girl was very different from the rumors. At her age, being able to become a full-fledged magician was already quite a talent. His Majesty the Emperor nodded slightly after seeing Hathaway salute him, it was a magician's exclusive etiquette, and he didn't show a displeased expression like some ministers next to him.

Magicians do not worship the gods, respect the imperial power, and the last blessing is just a routine courtesy, I am afraid that any magician, for the goddess of the forest and the hunt, lack the minimum respect, otherwise the Magicians Association will not be as close as the Druid Church.

Hearing the reprimands of the ministers around him, His Majesty the Emperor's face showed a look of disgust, waved his hand to stop them, and turned his gaze to Hathaway: "I heard that you met the assassin, it seems that you are okay now." ”

As for the beginning and end of Hathaway's assassination, His Majesty the Emperor certainly knew that decades of ups and downs made him see the tricks at a glance, but he was not ready to intervene, but was happy to see it, the more fierce the fight between those nobles, the stronger the rule of the imperial power. And Hathaway is now nothing more than a small count, not even a pawn on the huge chessboard of the Empire...... If it weren't for the fact that her fief was a little special, she wouldn't even be qualified to be summoned.

"Thank you for your concern! Your Majesty the Emperor! Hathaway's words were very deceitful.

The emperor was satisfied, he had released his kindness, and the girl had accepted it unequivocally. For magicians, His Majesty the Emperor is not very taboo, especially those magicians with good talents, who are the backbone of the empire...... They are not only a profession to deter enemies on the battlefield, but also an important arm in the political situation against theocracy.

The Cordillera Plateau is a vast area, on the one hand, the original potential is intertwined, and it is difficult to meddle, and on the other hand, it is like a piece of fat, with a lot of potential power...... Even the neighboring powers are eyeing it, among which the most troublesome to the emperor's majesty is the archduke of Caself, this cousin has obviously regarded the Cordillera plateau as his own inner backyard, and has repeatedly sabotaged the good things that the emperor's majesty interfered in the affairs of the plateau, and Hathaway's appearance undoubtedly cast ripples on the calm surface of the lake, no matter how big its ripples are, for the consolidation of imperial power, only good and no harm.

"Okay then. Young mage. ”

A kind smile appeared on the face of Fivinlie XVIII: "As Aldina. Quincy. Count Bell's daughter-in-law, you will be the legal heir to all the property and honor of the deceased Earl, then I give it to you, Hathaway. Belcordillera hereditary countdom! Territory: Cordillera Plateau! ”

The ministers could no longer sit still after hearing the emperor's reward. They rose up in protest, and the whole hall was instantly a mess...... Before that, although Hathaway's mother Aldina. Quincy. Bell was also a count, but she didn't actually own the entire Cordillera Plateau, at best she managed most of the land and some of the nobility there. But with this clear title and territory granted, Hathaway has the power to integrate the forces and resources of the land, and it will be more difficult for others to intervene.

According to the laws of the empire, as long as they do not conflict with the laws of the empire and do not betray the empire, the local lords do not have to worry about the dumping of imperial power, and the imperial family also does not dare to do it blatantly, otherwise it will cause all the nobles to rebel and shake the foundation of the empire, which no emperor will do. And those nobles who wanted to meddle in the Cordillera Plateau did not have any position.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a gloomy face, the ministers finally fell silent, but there were still a few bold voices whispering their objections.

A sneer appeared on His Majesty's face: "Not bad! Since all the ministers are against it, then please canonize Hathaway. Bell's Title! ”

Determining the title of hereditary nobility is a right that can only be exercised by the emperor, and this right cannot even be interfered with by the noble senate, unless he decrees that a grand duke shall exercise this power in his place...... These ministers finally came to their senses, and His Majesty the Emperor was solemnly warning them.

"I have no objection to your lordships expressing their opinions, but if you say one more nonsense, then please never set foot in my palace again." The stern voice of the Fervin Lie XVIII made the hearts of these ministers awe-inspiring.

At this moment, they finally remembered that this Supreme was a brave and warlike lion when he was young, and now although the lion is old, the residual power is still there, and they can't resist it head-on.

When she heard that His Majesty the Emperor had canonized her, Hathaway was also a little stunned. Before that, she had also studied various possibilities, the hereditary title would not change, but the elasticity of the territory was relatively large, after all, the vastness of the Cordillera Plateau was placed there, although it was sparsely populated and staggered, but the products in it were still quite rich, and among the famous families of the empire, there were many powerful forces who intended to get involved there, especially the Archduke Casseff. So this time in Beijing, the biggest suspense is still the issue of territory, but she didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would clearly give her the entire Cordillera Plateau.

On the throne, Fei Wenlie XVIII was very angry, and he knew that although some of these people below him were indeed incompetent and lacked foresight. But most people do it for the good of the family...... I'm afraid that the more chaotic the Cordillera is, the more in their family's interests. These people thought he was old and could be bullied...... He wants them to know that although he is old, he is not to be deceived. Although he didn't think that a small magician would bring anything to the consolidation of imperial power, at least she would cause trouble to the ill-intentioned nobles, and that was what he expected.
