Chapter 461: Family Name
Although a few months ago, when Brone proposed to Victoria, Victoria told him that she already had a boyfriend, but neither Brone nor Maxim regarded this statement as her prevarication and did not take it seriously.
However, now that Victoria had said this in front of so many people, especially her father, Maxwell, they had to believe it a little, because they knew that Victoria would not dare to lie in front of her father.
At this moment, whether it is Brogne or Maxime, they don't have a taste in their hearts, but they didn't expect that when the two pursued Victoria for a few years, one of them took the lead and became her boyfriend.
"Victoria, who is that man?" Maxwell spoke in a relatively calm voice, but everyone present could hear the anger in his voice.
Victoria knew that if she didn't tell the truth today, I'm afraid things wouldn't be good, and besides, her father and Donald had said before that they would not interfere with her and let her choose according to her own will, so Victoria didn't have any worries anymore, and replied: "Father, in fact, you have heard of that person's name, he is-Rollin!"
"Rollin, could it be the Rollin who won the Purple Medal at this Alchemy Conference?" Donald asked, with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Uncle Donald, it's ......," Victoria replied in a low voice.
"No wonder, no wonder...... Maxwell finally understood now, no wonder whenever this Rollin was mentioned before, Victoria and Bill were in a different state, they desperately praised this Rollin for how good a young talent he was, it turned out that the two of them had been hiding themselves all along.
Thinking of this, Maxwell couldn't help glaring at Victoria and Bill fiercely, and said angrily: "You two are really disappointed in me, if it weren't for today's incident, you two would still want to hide it from me!"
"Father, yes, I'm sorry! I can't help it!" Bill has been afraid of his father since he was a child, and when he saw that the other party was really angry, he was suddenly a little frightened and overwhelmed.
"Father, in fact, my daughter was going to tell you today, but I didn't expect to encounter these things, it was my daughter's fault, and it had nothing to do with my brother, and he also kept the secret for me, don't blame him. Victoria said in a trembling voice.
However, before Maxwell could speak, Brogne on the side couldn't help but snort coldly and said with a smile: "Haha, Rollin, I didn't expect you to fall in love with that kid from Rollin, Victoria, I have to say, your vision is really bad!"
"You!" Victoria couldn't help but feel angry when she heard the other party belittle her boyfriend as soon as she came up, but for a while, she didn't know what to say.
However, at this moment, Bill is not doing it, Luo Linnai is the third child in the dormitory, like a brother, at this moment hearing people belittle him, Bill couldn't help but say angrily: "Brone, what do you know, Luo Lin is the champion of this alchemy conference, in addition, he is also a necromancer and a demon martial arts double cultivator, moreover, his cultivation speed is one of the best in the thousand-year history of our Potter Academy, as long as time passes, his future achievements will definitely have an unlimited future, my sister chose him, that is the best performance!"
Hearing what Bill said, Brone couldn't help but sneer: "Hmph, Demon and Martial Arts Double Cultivation, Necromancer, Alchemy Conference Champion, one of the best in Potter Academy, all ****!"
"Bill, you must know that in the 10,000-year history of the Aragon Continent, there are many cultivators with good talent than Rollin, but in the end, how many geniuses can laugh and laugh at the end? Genius is just a genius, when he didn't become a strong man, he was just a famous kid, and after he died, after tens or hundreds of years, who will remember him?"
"Besides, who is Luo Lin? It's just a poor boy in a small town, his father is a clock repairer, his mother is a laundry worker, and their family doesn't even have a 'family name', which means that their ancestors have been a bunch of waste materials for generations, and even the family name has not been earned for the younger generations.
In fact, the 'family name' mentioned by Fronne is an exaggeration, in order to obtain a family name, there must be at least one person in the family who has been named 'duke', otherwise the family is not eligible to have a family name.
If you want to make a meritorious career and be crowned an official, obviously, it is easiest to obtain it in a period of turmoil, or when there is a change of dynasty, but since the founding of the Aragonese Empire, it has taken 10,000 years, and there are only a handful of times in history when there has been a real change of dynasty or any major upheaval.
Moreover, the biggest turmoil among them is five thousand years ago, when the unified Aragonese Empire fell apart, until more than three thousand years ago, when the Light Alliance, the Dark Alliance, and the Aragonese Empire were divided into three continents.
But for more than 2,000 years, in these two large areas of the alliance of light and darkness, it has been too chaotic, and one country is like a marquee, often a few years or decades after the founding of the country, and if it is not done well, it will be destroyed by another country, and there are very few countries that have been more than a hundred years.
Even if during this period of time, one of the lucky people in the family was named the prince of the country and had his own family name, but when the country was destroyed, often these people who had just been given a family name would be wiped out with the royal family, so it was difficult to be passed on.
And in peacetime, it is too difficult to become a duke.
There are five types of titles: duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron.
Among these five titles, the duke is the highest rank, and only those who have made great contributions to the country, or the cultivation of the magician and martial artist has reached an extremely high level, which is enough to attract the attention of the empire, so that the person can be crowned a duke.
In this way, even in the history of 10,000 years, it is very difficult to produce a person who is named a 'duke' within a clan, so the vast majority of people on the Aragonese continent do not have a family name.
For example, the Rollin family, they only have a personal name, and there is no family name that symbolizes honor, and even Karina's family, her father is the richest man in Posang Town, and their family has no family name, so it can be seen that it is not easy to get a family name.
However, the people of the Aragonese continent often attach great importance to this 'false name', especially in terms of family marriages, generally speaking, no matter how poor and weak the younger generation with a family name is, they do not want to marry even the very wealthy children of the family without a family name.
