"Yes, ma'am!"

The old butler replied meticulously: "Cathy is the third son of the Clauis family, the Cesss family was originally a vassal of the Clauvis family and owned a knight's manor, but because there has been no awakening of the knight's blood for three consecutive generations, the manor has been taken back by the Clauvis family......"

Although the aristocracy of this world implements a feudal system, the inheritance of the family is not necessarily smooth sailing. The great nobles have huge resources and territories, and are basically able to maintain the stability of their lineage and genealogy.

But it's hard to say about the small nobles at the bottom, since the Glory Emperor established the empire, ended the kingdom era, and strengthened the centralization of the royal family, the previous permanent sub-feudal system for the knight's manor has been abolished, but changed to a limited sub-feudal system linked to rights and obligations. A knight family must ensure that there is a knight in a row within three generations before it is eligible to inherit the knight's estate.

If there is no knight with awakened bloodline among the descendants of a knight for three generations, then he can only find an awakened bloodline knight from close relatives and distant relatives to inherit the family business, and if there is no qualified heir even from distant relatives, then eventually the knight's fief will be taken back by the lord, and this knight family will also fall into the aristocratic class and fall to the free people class. Even if someone in the family awakens the knight bloodline again in the future, they must work hard again to be able to obtain the territory and knighthood.

The Seth family is such a typical family, their ancestors were originally mountain people on Mount Idar, and they were knighted for their military exploits, but because of the lack of sufficient resources and luck, there was no qualified heir after three generations, so they could only be reduced to free people and come to the Silver Tide City to earn a living.

There were many such families in the Silver Tide City, and they formed a large class of freedmen between the nobles and the low-class commoners, together with the nobles' concubines, second sons, and illegitimate families, and they either became poets, playwrights, painters, musicians, well-known scholars, thinkers, or clerks, secretaries, governesses, and consultants for a certain great person, or held public positions in government departments such as the town hall, the judicial court, and the customs office, or sought a treasurer, steward, and bookkeeper in the chambers of commerce and merchants. Errands such as accounting, or simply running some small businesses on their own, using their former connections to monopolize some businesses that are not looked down upon by the big guys.

Such a family is slightly higher than the commoner in terms of wealth and status, and never forgets to revitalize the family business and return to the aristocratic sequence.

That Cathy is obviously a representative of such a family, in the impression of Mrs. Loris, he is still a little talented, but he is not very open-minded, and his desire to come out is too urgent, and his desire to show is very strong, and in private, he will often slander the shortcomings of other outstanding young people to Mrs. Loris, and he is not popular in the circle of young people.

It's just that Mrs. Loris didn't expect him to be dizzy and took the initiative to report Carl. I can't help but say that this move is stupid.

This idiot may just want to target Carl and bring him down and stink through the church. But I didn't think of this kind of move, after Lady Loris clearly announced to the entire social circle that she became Carl's protector, it was no longer Carl Rowland personally, but Lady Loris's prestige - of course, if there was no Inquisition and the Queen of the Waves to interfere, this report would most likely be directly ignored by the church.

"People always have to pay for their recklessness!"

Mrs. Loris said lightly, and decided the fate of this fool in her heart lightly, neither the Seth family nor Casey herself is worth mentioning, that is, there is no family background and connections enough for her to be cautious, and there is no talent enough for her to look high, so since it offends her and involves the prestige of the mermaid family, it must be punished seriously.

"As for the priest Girrod, since he is so pious, and so hated heresy, perhaps he may ask Bishop Filch to put on a glorious black robe and be a priest of the army!

Although the mermaid family is known for its tolerance and tolerance, it is also ruthless to infringe on the interests of its own family and offend the prestige of its own family, and decisively counterattack and punish.

The aristocratic world does not believe in tears, and unconditional tolerance and kindness can only be taken as a synonym for weakness. Carl offended the Queen of the Waves, and in the blink of an eye, he was approached by the Church Night's Watchman, and the two offended Lady Loris, and of course they couldn't get away easily.

"Ma'am, Reverend Girard is a side member of the Plantagenet family!"

Hearing that Lady Loriss was going to send the priest Girold to the Black Blood Fortress, the old butler hurriedly reminded Lady Loris.

The Black Blood Fortress is no ordinary place, it is a place of death on a par with the Twilight Fortress of the Far East, the Great Wall of Despair guarding the edge of the Great Desert of Death, the forefront of the battle between the Radiant Church and heretics, and the meat grinder battlefield that has devoured the lives of countless young priests, night watchmen, and radiant knights.

Every year, many priests who have made mistakes within the Church, offended the night watchmen and knights, and criminals who have committed felonies in the secular world and have voluntarily followed the Radiant Code to go to these places of death to atone for their sins are sent here, but only to survive ten years and successfully leave these areas.

In the Church, being transferred to these areas is almost the equivalent of receiving an invitation to death, and is almost a harsh punishment second only to the internal purification of the Inquisition.

"A member of the Plantagenet family?"

Madame Loriss thought for a moment, smiled, and slowed down her tone slightly: "Then let him go to Castinburg!"

The Plantagenet family is the ruling family of the floating city of Vilnys, and is also a famous family on a par with the mermaid family. Although the Kingdom of Yilei is called a kingdom, it is actually because the Holy See's seat is on the Yilei Peninsula. In fact, the Kingdom of Yilei is composed of many commercial city-states, free ports, religious independent territories, and republican autonomous cities.

And the Mermaid Family, the Plantagenet Family, and the Medilche Family, which have been in charge of a city for a long time, are the top magnates in the Kingdom of Yilei, not inferior to the powerful duke families of the Saint-French Empire and the Holy Hyrule Empire.

The Plantagenet family believes in law and power, is known for its rich in strict justices and sharp politicians, and also has a huge influence in the church, although it is not a member of the twenty saint families when the church was founded, but there has also been a pope, three cardinal archbishops, and has a pivotal position in the church.

However, although the priest Girold had a good surname, he was spared the worst of the worst black blood castles. But it wasn't enough for Lady Loris to let him go completely, at least the pain of a trip to Castinburg was inevitable.

Castinburg is located near the Central Mountains, though not as dangerous as the Dead Lands, where the Church is at the forefront of the battle against heresy. However, the large number of space-time rifts in the Central Mountain Range, as well as all kinds of extremely dangerous spatial secret realms, have long made this place a refuge for vampires, werewolves, evil wizards, dark sacrifices, cultists of evil gods, and the remnants of the elves, orc tribes, and other groups to hide from the Radiant Church and the human realm.
