Chapter 64: The Marquis
Looking at the miserable appearance of the big and small Roshan, the nobles who came to the gate of the mansion to see the excitement were discussed.
"The Melward family is going to be finished, and Auston is the only heir to the Mallory family, and the old Earl Mallory will never give up if he is beaten like this. ”
"Alas, Willard is getting old, and after a while, his two sons have caused him a great disaster. How should this end? ”
"If the Melward family falls, won't it ......"
A young nobleman with two triangular eyes whispered to his companion next to him: "Moore, didn't you fall in love with the restaurant in the south of the city, that is their family's property, if it is operated properly......"
There are also some people who have a good relationship with the Melward family, and they have persuaded Cord and Lowry to go to the Earl of Mallory to apologize.
Even Flandy's grandmother in the lounge was alarmed with a group of female dependents, and the old lady led Anne to the gate of the house to see the two mountains of meat that had been beaten, and hurriedly called the two sons over to ask what was going on.
While there was a mess in front of the Viscount's Palace, an extremely luxurious carriage drove from the direction of the palace, and the inlaid badge on the carriage indicated that it was the car of the head of the Melward family.
There were four guards in front of the luxury carriage to open the way, and seeing so many people surrounding in front of the Viscount's Palace, I don't know what happened. Shouting at them, the crowd dodged a way and let the carriage behind come over.
When Frandy's grandfather, Willard, stepped out of the luxurious carriage, everyone present, whether it was a nobleman or a member of the family, kept their mouths shut. See what Willard will do.
Old Willard was obviously in much better spirits than he had seen the other day, and when he saw such chaos in front of his Viscount's Mansion, he didn't understand what was going on, and looked at his two sons with a calm face.
Cord and Lowry hurried to their father's side, but they didn't see why Flandy was beating the two Roshans, and by the time they arrived, they had already done the beating.
Old Willard, of course, knew the heir of the Mallory family and his son, and asked lightly, "Kord, what happened?"
"Father, Auston's son somehow fell into the pool in the backyard, and he ran over and was beaten. ”
"Who beat you?"
"Brandi hit. ”
"Hmm. Then hit the point again, and then carry it back to the Mallory family. ”
"Yes, father!" Kourd and Lowry became excited, since their father told them to hit the key again, then let's hit the key again!
At this time, Flandy also came out of the crowd and greeted with a grin: "Grandpa, you're back!"
Old Willard looked at Frandy kindly and asked gently, "Flandie, why did they beat the two of them?"
"I don't like to hear what they say, so I can beat them up if I want to. "Frandy doesn't care.
"Hahaha. Old Willard burst out laughing and said, "That's a good point, if you want to beat it, if they say something ugly, then continue to beat it!"
"Listen to you, Grandpa. ”
As she spoke, the old lady also greeted her, and looked at old Willard with a worried expression.
"Madame, don't worry. Old Willard comforted him, and then said to everyone, "Thank you for coming to my birthday party, and let's go back to the hall." ”
The onlookers were already dumbfounded, and were first shocked by the old Willard's remark "Then hit the point again, and then carry it back to the Mallory family".
Then I was stunned by Frandy's "I can beat me if I want to", and I couldn't believe my ears that they would say such a thing.
The heir of an earl was beaten and passed so lightly?
"Hey, who is this big man, why is he talking so crazy!"
"That is, if you beat the heir of the earl, it will be as if it was fine?"
"What the hell is he coming from? I feel like I don't care. ”
"It seems to be the grandson of old Willard, named Flandy, who seems to have seen it before. ”
"Does old Willard have a daughter? When did he get married?"
"It seems to be called Psal Island, a small island that I don't know where......"
"Psal, it's a little familiar, let me think about it......"
"I guess I don't know what happened, so I can only marry far away, ha...... Ugh"
The earl who had just said that Psalal Island was familiar with was an earl of about fifty years old, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly covered the mouth of the nobleman who was talking next to him.
"Psal, Flandy, what did you not expect?" said the Earl, in a low voice.
"Flandie, this name is a little familiar, isn't it the grandson of old Willard?, what's the big deal?" As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to think of it, his eyes widened, and he didn't dare to speak again.
Regardless of the discussion of the people behind, old Willard was helped into the banquet hall. Some of those who watched the excitement left, and some came back with them.
Sitting in the head of the house's seat, the elder Willard calmly watched the guests who returned to the hall one after another.
In addition to the children of his own family, only half of the children of the big merchants and nobles who had been in close contact with each other on weekdays reappeared in the hall.
The rest of the people may no longer be optimistic about the Melward family, or they may be afraid of being implicated, and they have all dispersed.
Old Wilde whispered to Cord and Lowry, "Remember these people who have returned, only these people are friends of the Melward family. ”
After speaking, he stood up from his seat and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, there was some small accident just now, and I once again welcome all guests to my birthday party." ”
Old Wilde gave a chest salute to the surroundings, and then continued: "This morning, I was summoned to the palace by His Majesty the Emperor, because I have made a small contribution and have been officially made a hereditary marquis by His Majesty the Emperor. ”
As soon as these words came out, the children of the family, including Cord and Lowry, as well as the guests who came, were dumbfounded, and they felt incredible.
What is the "small credit" that can make a viscount directly canonized as a marquis, no one dares to ask, and no one dares to ask. They all just stared blankly at Old Wild.
Even Frandy's grandmother looked at old Wilde in disbelief, unable to believe it was true.
Only Flandy knew it in his heart. His Majesty Haman really had no reward for himself, so he had to pass the credit on to the Melward family.
It took a while for everyone present to understand, but they were only congratulating old Wild, and no one dared to ask.
The hall was lively again, and the feast went on, and old Wild called Flandy into his study alone.
He knew that because of his grandson's reminder, it must be a great achievement to dedicate all the collected demon cores to His Majesty for free, but he never thought that he would be promoted directly from viscount to marquis.
When His Majesty Haman said it himself, the old Wild, like the guests who had heard his announcement for the first time, was stunned for a moment before accepting the fact.
You must know that in the Oskaia Empire, only at the beginning of the founding of the country, Oskaia the Great made his four sons princes and became the kings of the four kingdoms.
But with the fall of the Tara Kingdom and the Yadan Kingdom, only the two kings of the Kunmo Kingdom and the Yiwu Kingdom were left with the titles of princes.
After hundreds of years of war, the original twelve grand dukes have not broken the inheritance of Pusal Island, and now only the families of the four grand dukes are still strong.
The prince and the duke were divided only once when the state was founded, and then for hundreds of years the highest title was awarded, that is, the marquis.
Old Wilde accepted the canonization in a daze.
It wasn't until I went back to the Viscount's Mansion, oh, it should be called the Marquis's Mansion now, that I called Flandy over to ask for clarification.
Franky smiled indifferently and said with relief: "Grandpa, since His Majesty Haman canonized you as a marquis, there must be a reason for him. You're relieved to accept it. ”
"But, but......" Old Wild opened his mouth for a long time, but did not know what to say.
"Grandpa, the value of these magic cores is more important than you think. Some of the results I have researched require a lot of use of magic cores. ”
Flandi was afraid that his grandfather would not be at ease, so he revealed some reasons slightly.
Although he didn't know what the result was, the elder Wilder didn't ask. But in my heart, I understood that it was this grandson's credit that was transferred to his family.
Smiled emotionally and patted Frankie on the shoulder, "I didn't expect that what Melward had been looking forward to for countless generations of ancestors would be realized by you, a little guy." Grandpa is very proud of you. ”
Except for a small viscount in the late stages of the Second Dark War because of the right time, place, and people, the Melward family has been consolidating the family's position for countless generations.
Even so, from time to time, there are some big nobles who dig meat from the family's body. And the family can only destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster. Astronomical benefits were ceded.
This time, he was named a hereditary marquis, so that the family's position was completely stable, and there was no need to worry about when disaster would come in the future.
