The winter of five hundred and sixty-one years of the Empire of Light is coming soon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Since the last dinner, when Suya and the others returned from the Norman Duke's mansion, it seemed that as she expected, the Emperor's attitude towards the Ellos family seemed to have eased considerably.
It is said that the emperor seemed to be in a particularly good mood after receiving the Norman duke, and drank an extra half bottle of red wine for dinner that day.
The next day, His Majesty the Emperor issued an edict announcing that a ceremony would be held at this year's New Year's dinner to reward a group of imperial generals led by the Duke of Casa of the Ellios family for their meritorious service in the Northwest War. As soon as this news came out, the wealthy nobles in the imperial capital seemed to smell a little bit.
These guys were well-informed, and it was only known that His Majesty the Emperor didn't seem to like the Ellios family very much, and even dismissed the Governor of Heru in Moxi Province during the Northwest War. It is rumored that this Heru general was a general under the command of Duke Elliot.
This move was seen at the time as a reduction in power to the Ellios family, but only a year after the Northwest War, His Majesty the Emperor openly offered to reward the Duke of Casa...... The inside story of this has made many people unable to understand it.
However, everyone has been in the aristocratic circle for many years, and they have seen a lot of things about this kind of lifting. After all, the weight of an old nobleman like the Ellios family in the imperial capital is still not light, and many people see that the wind seems to be blowing on the side of the Ellios family again, so they naturally want to be close to the young patriarch Duchess Cassa.
In the past few days, there have been a lot of people who have come to visit Su Ya's Duke's Mansion, but they have all been shirked by Su Ya one by one, and it seems that this duchess is not very willing to have too much interaction with other families.
However, only Jose knew that Su Ya was deliberately putting on an impartial appearance, so that she could make her stand out. Her resignation was submitted within a few days of the dinner, and it was said that it was the second-in-command of the military department, the Norman duke, who was the vice-minister of military affairs in the imperial capital.
Since Su Ya had made a decision, Qiao Se naturally wouldn't say anything, and while Su Ya was busy with these round-up work, the so-called Imperial Noble Council also sent someone to find Qiao Se in Su Ya's mansion.
The new viscount realized that he had been awarded the title of viscount by Mondevideo IV, and had transformed from a magician into a true nobleman of the Empire.
But in the face of those guys sent by the so-called noble committee, Jose still has some headaches. According to the rules of the Noble Council, all nobles who have been knighted need to find out their own identity and origin, as well as their parents and grandparents, and even any direct blood relatives, and they need to have a complete and detailed file.
The so-called Imperial Noble Council was an organization established by the aristocratic system headed by Emperor Maude the Great at the beginning of the founding of the Bright Empire. Within the Bright Empire, the largest aristocracy is the royal family, and in addition, there is a network of interests composed of several large aristocratic groups. Although the empire was diverse and complex over the centuries, these aristocratic networks were an important part of the political framework that underpinned the empire.
Although the Bright Empire has gone through hundreds of years, the initial conditions for the examination of nobles are far less stringent than at the beginning of the founding of the country, but this kind of façade work must always be done in place.
But fortunately, Jose was in an old aristocratic mansion like Su Ya, Su Ya thought for a while, and directly made up a questionnaire to the people of the noble committee. Although this table lists Joseph's origin, bloodline, and even the surnames of the ancestors of the previous generations in great detail, it is clear that there are still many loopholes on a closer look.
However, the people in the aristocratic council are not fools, this Mr. Chaucer is a knighthood personally awarded by His Majesty the Emperor, and the duchess of the Ellios family, a veteran nobleman of the empire, came forward to say hello, even if he really wrote a questionnaire blindly, it is absolutely impossible not to pass!
His Majesty the Emperor personally conferred the title, and this duchess came forward...... With such a background, even if he is a lowly slave, I'm afraid no one will dare to say half a word, right?!
So after a few busy days, the matter of the title of José was quickly implemented. An old scholar who specializes in designing and carving family crests was also invited by Su Ya to the mansion to design a family crest for Jose.
Originally, according to Joseph's idea, what kind of family crest and other things, of course, should be designed as much as possible, such as carving a giant dragon and drawing a few big health care ...... Oh no, it's a big sword! Then design a few mysterious and ancient words on the side, preferably with flags fluttering, vivid and detailed, and the kind that will be domineering at first glance......
However, after telling Su Ya what he thought, Qiao Sebai realized that he was thinking too much, because according to the legal system of the Bright Empire, there are rules for what can be engraved on the family crest!
For example, on the coat of arms of the Ellios family, there is a fluttering flag, with two sharp swords diagonally inserted in the middle, and the coat of arms behind it is in the shape of a moon.
According to Suya, the coat of arms on the Ellos family already indicates a lot of information, such as the flag, which indicates that at least one of the prime ministers of the empire in the family is eligible to tattoo the flag emblem, and the diagonal sword represents the martial arts of the family, and the two swords symbolize the two imperial marshals of the Eleos family! As for the moon...... It is that the title of this family is between duke and earl, and even the viscount and baron are not qualified to tattoo the moon ornament!!
According to the provisions of the aristocratic law, whether it is birds, animals, flowers and trees, they can be included in the family crest. For example, tattooing fierce beasts such as tigers, lions, bears and leopards mostly symbolizes the courage of their own family, and tattooing flowers and plants and trees also hopes that the family can have the elegance of nobility.
In this ornament, only the sword symbolizing the martial arts and the sun, moon and stars symbolizing the family title rank cannot be used at will.
The titles of the Empire of Light are divided into five ranks, of which the last viscount and baron can only use stars to represent the family crest, and counts to dukes can be decorated with the moon. Of course, these ornaments can be changed, for example, a nobleman was made a baron at the beginning, and finally because some outstanding people emerged in the family, and then there were nobles such as counts, marquises and even dukes, then the star ornament on the family coat of arms can also be replaced with the moon.
As for the sun ornament, there is only one family within the Empire of Light that can be used, which is the current royal family!!
