Arold took off his gorgeous Germanic aristocratic costume under the service of the maid, Princess Josie handed over the child in her hand to the nurse and took it to the next room, when Arold lay on the soft bed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and declared that the first step of the title of Duke of Mecklenburg was completed, but it would take a while for the great nobles of Europa to recognize his title, and he had already handed over the matter to Dylan, who had a keen sense of smell. Matt went to do it.

"Arold I have written a letter to send my maid to pass on to my brother, Lord Duke of Abel." Princess Josie put her head close to Arrod's chest, they hadn't been lying together like this for a long time.

"Oh, what's in the letter?" Arold asked casually, this is not an invasion of privacy, because according to the custom of this era, women are subordinate to men, and women have almost no freedom and privacy to exercise.

"Although you claim the title of duke in the land you occupy, you still need the support of some powerful nobles." Princess Josie looked at her capable husband, so young but with his own strength to build a principality, this is a legend that only existed in the time of Charlemagne, but it is also because of this that Princess Josie knows that her husband's foundation is not stable.

"Yes, but my venerable brother-in-law is bent on drawing us into the principality of Mason." Arold smiled bitterly and reached out and pinched the tip of Princess Josie's small and straight nose, the Wendell family is not a prominent family, but the Herman family is a family with a long history, and people generally believe in the bloodline of the ancient history in this era.

Of course, it would be a good thing if Duke Mason could support Arrod, and even Arold could make some concessions in terms of interests for this, but Arold also knew very well that this matter was not so simple, so in Dylan. Matt's construction was under his own path.

"Maybe for my sake, my brother will support us." Princess Josie sat up from Arrod's arms and said to Arryd.

"My little fool, I hope." Arold took Princess Josie into his arms noncommittally, he was not as optimistic as Princess Josie thought, but it was not easy to say at this time, because in this moment full of hope and joy, Arold did not want to spoil the atmosphere, so soon his hands wandered deep behind enemy lines.

"Hmm, uh-huh~~." Princess Josie's eyes were blurred, her cheeks were rosy, and her rosy lips were slightly open and panting.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~~~." The nurse sat in the next room with Arrod and Princess Josie's eldest son in her arms, and she heard the sound of the big bed shaking her teeth, and she couldn't help but listen curiously, and soon she heard the cheerful gasps of the Duke and Princess Josie, and the nurse's face showed a satisfied and smug smile, and it seemed that tomorrow in the kitchen she could show off to the others again.

Of course, Arold could not have placed his treasure on the Duke of Mason alone, so he sent several emissaries carrying gifts from Mecklenburg to the court of the surrounding lords, the most important of which was the team led by Webster who was bound for Marienburg, because Marienburg was owned by His Royal Highness Prince Otto, the crown prince of the East Frankish Kingdom, and Prince Otto and his wife Anglo-Saxon Princess happened to settle in the castle.

"According to my father's request, we have traveled to most of the kingdom's territory, but the attitude of the dukes has not relaxed in the slightest, which is really worrying." Prince Otto and his wife sit in the courtyard of Marienburg, the closest bridgehead to the east of the Saxon royal family, which is why Prince Otto attached so much importance to the castle.

"But the attitude of the counts is friendly, and we are not well received in the castle of the counts?" The Anglo-Saxon princess was not as pessimistic as her husband, and as she traveled throughout the kingdom, the foreign princess gradually assimilated into the role of a member of the Germanic royal family.

"But so what, it's the dukes who really have the right to vote in the council." Prince Otto snatched a glass of wine with a gloomy face, and although his father, Henry the Birdcatcher, had changed the Carolingian tradition of inheritance, if the dukes did not approve of it, it would plunge the kingdom into civil strife.

"Your Royal Highness, there is a procession of emissaries who have asked for an audience." Just when the Anglo-Saxon princess didn't know how to persuade her husband, a royal attendant came up to them and offered them a message.

"Emissary? How did I not know that there was another messenger who came to meet me, and it was the messenger of the Lord? Prince Otto asked the royal attendant curiously.

"They say they are messengers of the Duke of Mecklenburg, and they want to see you."

"Duke of Mecklenburg? How did I not know that there was such a duke? Prince Otto asked in surprise, but he then remembered that there was a Count of Mecklenburg, and that he had entrusting his illegitimate son there.

"That's interesting, and the Duke you don't know." The Anglo-Saxon princess also jokingly said to her husband.

"Let them in." Prince Otto laughed dryly twice and waved his hand for the attendants to bring the messenger in.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Otto, Your Royal Highness the Princess, I am the messenger of the Duke of Mecklenburg, and I am willing to serve you." Webster was dressed in a splendid service, and as soon as he saw Prince Otto and his wife, he crossed his legs, his waist was bent like a spring, and his head almost touched the ground, and his hands made court ceremonial movements, but his movements were so exaggerated that the Anglo-Saxon princess laughed.

"When did your master claim the title of duke?" Prince Otto couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, his emaciated face, which was almost like a poker face, was smiling for the first time in front of outsiders.

"My master, the Duke of Mecklenburg, after taking possession of the lands of Mecklenburg, Rostock and Watergast, claimed the title of duke to the people of his realm a week ago." Webster hurriedly replied truthfully.

"Oh, so fast?" Prince Otto was even more surprised when he heard this, he did not expect the speed of Arold's expansion to be amazing, and the Saxon royal family gathered the power of the vassals to seize a piece of land from Brandenburg from the Slavs, but Arold actually occupied three lands alone.

"Yes, my master wishes to be able to become a vassal of His Majesty in exchange for the royal family's recognition of his title of duke." Webster looked up and showed a mouthful of good teeth, and said to Prince Otto with a smile. R1152
