"Isn't that Baron Wren?"

A flirtatious voice reached Wren's ears, and his raised foot paused in the air for a moment before putting it back in place. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 About twenty meters to his side, a young man of twenty-two or three-year-old walked slowly. The young man's face seemed to have been lightly retouched, with light makeup, and a slightly unhealthy face showed a touch of purple through the blush. He walked over in a short white suit, a casual suit like a suit on the earth, and a pink collar that made him look improper. Frivolous and casual, the body seems to twist with every step, and the left hand is raised meaninglessly, like a person dancing a pas de deux, full of an inexplicable funny.

Wren's mind was churning, and an image became clearer and clearer, and he nodded slightly, "It turned out to be Tria!"

If you haven't been to the imperial capital, you can never imagine how cheap the nobility is, especially in this Golden Ring area, where almost all the pedestrians on the streets are aristocrats. As the political center of the empire, many nobles with great political ambitions moved in droves, hoping to get closer to the top rulers of the empire.

Tria was also an "alien" nobleman, his father was a non-hereditary viscount, and like most non-hereditary nobles, he was on the verge of the family's demise. Once they lose their aristocratic status, other nobles, former enemies, and some oppressed privileged classes will pounce on them like vicious dogs and tear them to pieces. In order to continue the glory of the family, before going to extinction, it is necessary to find a way to revitalize the family.

There are three main ways in which nobility is born, the first is military exploits. Whether it is counterinsurgency or suppression, as long as it is done well enough, generally speaking, the empire will generously canonize a low-level minor nobleman, baron, viscount or something. Unless there was a major civil war during the reigns of Orlando II and Orlando V, there was a possibility of such a high-level aristocracy as Archduke Joan of Arc, as well as some hereditary nobility. The second way is to be a good manager, show his political ability by running his own territory, and be transferred to the imperial capital as a cadre in some departments, so there are not a few families who are rewarded with nobles.

As for the third one, it is much simpler than the first two, and that is to be a courtier. What is Rigoletto, we can use this word to mark it as a fortunate minister, a minister, and a favored minister. To put it bluntly, it is to please His Majesty the Emperor through rhetoric or actions, as long as His Majesty the Emperor can be happy from time to time, one or two titles can still be guaranteed. It's like Wade, obviously just a good-looking sissy, but he is loved by Pars, and it's not surprising that he was rewarded with an earl or something.

In order to extend the life of the family as much as possible, many nobles who are constantly coming to an end have long figured out a set of methods, that is, to pass the title to the youngest member of the family, such as grandfather to grandson or great-grandson, the span of decades greatly relieves the pressure of these nobles, so that they have enough time to do everything possible to continue the status of the family.

As a result, there are also a group of people, their fathers or grandfathers are nobles with titles, but they do not have any power and possibility to inherit the titles, such as the Tria in front of them. His father would not pass on the title to him, and no matter how much he loved this son, he would not bury the whole family because of some of his own personal impulses. If Tria wants to get the knighthood, there is no way but to fight for it herself.

Some of these young people who have lost their futures become depressed, and some of them work harder, and Tria belongs to the former, he is a prodigal son.

This kind of son-in-law has a very striking characteristic, they never get into trouble easily, they only bully those who are inferior to themselves, so as to avoid provoking strong enemies for their own family, because they have nothing and cannot afford to lose - a member who is destined to fail to inherit the title is obviously a very good deal to appease the anger of powerful enemies.

Tria stopped five steps to Wren's side, not looking at his sloppy and fancy clothes, but he was smart. He knew that Wren was just a baron, but he was not a small person like him to provoke. Fortunately, he still has a little friendship with Wren, maybe this friendship doesn't give him anything from Wren, but there are some possibilities, isn't it?

"I don't know if you're back, was it yesterday?or the day before yesterday?", Tria showed a very skillful affection, not too affectionate to make people feel annoying, not too blunt to make people feel hypocritical, "How long have we not seen each other? It may be too long, and I have forgotten the time." Come on, I'll treat you to dinner, a nice restaurant has opened on Xie Dun Avenue recently. He tilted his head slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands out, revealing a hint of hope.

Wren hesitated, he hadn't eaten much in the palace just now, and Pars was focused on several of Ortlenburg's policies, and could see that Her Majesty the freshly baked Empress had a headache with her money bag. At the same time, she is also very courageous, the old emperor and the prime minister are still waiting, but she already plans to start implementing it. Pars is no worse than a man, but at this moment, what the empire needs is a more moderate ruler, not a tough one.

Orlando V created a large number of nobles during the Civil War, and these nobles had begun to wither away after the reign of Orlando V and Orlando VI. They formed groups of nobles, hoping to unite and force the royal family to continue the power in their hands. Obviously, if a tough emperor comes to power at this time, he will inevitably face Mai Mang, and maybe another civil war on a huge scale. Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why the golden aristocracy is constantly gathering power, which is like a reincarnation.

War - Reward the nobles - the nobles go into decline and start a war - Reward the meritorious again .

An infinite loop of circles, spending all their energy on infighting, which the royal family and the major gold nobles do not want to see. They are more interested in how to unify the entire continent than in fighting for life and death in their own homes.

Maybe he was really hungry, or maybe he wanted to get something out of the mouth of Tria, a swinger, but Wren didn't refuse his invitation in the end. Tria was very happy, really happy, there is no doubt that the thickest legs in the entire empire are these golden nobles, as long as they hold one firmly, the whole family doesn't have to worry anymore. He made arrangements at once, and a decent carriage slowly stopped beside the two of them.

"Please", Tria extended his hand and invited Wren into the carriage.

The carriage moved slowly, and Wren glanced at the carriage briefly, the decoration was very ordinary.

"I've heard Pars has a face called Wade, right?", Wren pinched the glove of one finger and twitched gently, "What's the origin of this guy?"

Professional questions need to be solved by professional people, Twright may know Wade, and he also knows that Pars has a face, but he will never delve into Wade's origin, that will only make him feel disgusted. But Tria is different, he is a person who messes around in the imperial capital, and he can always find out something about the things in the crotch.

Tria didn't live up to Wren's expectations, and opened her mouth to come, "Do you mean Wade? I know him, he's just the son of a country farmer, and he was once a cultist. I've heard people say ......", he hesitated, because the news behind was a bit excessive, and he wasn't sure if it would get out if it would get out, and thus offended Wade because of it. That's the guy who dangles in front of Pars every day, and his words are enough to make Tria unable to eat and walk around.

Seeing Tria's hesitation, Wren pinched the two gloves close to his wrists, shook them vigorously, and raised his head slightly, "Say, I'm interested." ”

Tria looked directly at Wren for about two or three seconds before continuing, "It is said that the way he is now is because he was abused by the local priest when he was a child, and for four years. I've heard people say that because of this experience, Wade once thought of himself as a woman, not a man. Later, the pastor was transferred and punished, and Wade gradually changed. ”

"Her Majesty the Queen was able to recognize Wade because of one of the key people, and I think you should know it too, and that was Grace Shoena. ”

Tria fell silent as she uttered the name, which seemed to have a magical power that made Tria's breath quicken. Grace Shuenner, the Imperial Marshal, controls the entire Empire's armies and is the Empire's most powerful iron fist, invincible and indestructible. When people talk about Grace, they tend to use a very respectful tone and a very adoring tone to describe some of the great deeds he has done, such as suppressing rebellions, such as resisting invasions and invading other countries.

Almost never, never, would associate such a respected and beloved big man as him with lace news.

Wren was obviously also shocked by the "truth" that Tria said, and his eyes became a little infiltrating, "You mean, that sissy named Wade has something to do with Grace?", he suddenly laughed a few times, "Did you say it wrong or did I hear it wrong? That bearded guy who doesn't close his eyes when he sleeps, and his face is full of hair and eyes?", for this marshal, Wren is not afraid, everyone's status is the same, they are all patriarchs of the golden nobles, why should I be afraid of you?

Tria swallowed dryly and laughed dryly, "It seems to be so, by the way, rumors, all rumors." ”

"Well, just think of it as a rumor, a story, and I love it. ”
