However, according to the current situation in the Empire, Mondevideo IV could not do without the assistance of the Norman Duke and his family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoWhether it is to pacify the frontier or limit the power of the temple in the future, it is indispensable to have a calm and serious military minister to assist......

Therefore, Mondevideo IV understood that he must have a group of his own team, in addition to the Night Royal Forest that has always been in his hands, whether in the circle of the imperial aristocracy or in the army, there needs to be a group of powerful people who are loyal to him!

The Sistine, who was newly appointed as the acting governor of the northwest, was naturally a young Zhuang nobleman who he was optimistic about, and it was obvious that the young man in front of him was ...... It also meets your own requirements!

When Montevideo IV thought of this, he suddenly felt in a good mood, especially since this kid did not pretend to be clever and strong with other nobles, and this cleverness and brain made him a little more satisfied with José. It seems that I don't know why, seeing that this guy José is wearing a suit of armor today, dressed as a soldier of the Empire, without the slightest reserve and arrogance of a magician, it makes Montevideo IV look so pleasing to the eye!

Joseph naturally didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor was thinking at the moment, but when he saw such a move by Montevia IV, he couldn't help but feel a little more thorough in his heart, but his face was still calm and silent, and then he retreated to the side of the stage very familiarly.

Montevideo IV rewarded Jose and turned his expression to the side directly, only then did a smile appear on his face: "Duke of Casa, come forward!"

At this time, everyone's eyes also fell on Su Ya, she looked indifferent, walked forward in a few steps, looked at His Majesty the Emperor and nodded slightly, and then gave a military salute dignifiedly: "Your Majesty, Su Ya is here." ”

"Duke of Casa, you are the commander of this northwest war, and you have repelled the Macedonian army, I heard that you fought outside Moxi Pass, defeated the Macedonian elite infantry legion Golden Armor, and almost annihilated half of the main force of the Golden Armor, these combat exploits, really worthy of being the descendants of Duke Ellios! The empire has such a young general, and the Ellios family can be regarded as a successor, you say, what kind of reward do you want?!"

Su Ya didn't show much joy on her face when she heard Montevideo IV say this, but her face was still calm, but she couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then looked at the emperor with a firm face, and then slowly said: "Su Ya serves the empire, serves Your Majesty, and is a soldier of my empire, where do you need any reward?" It's just that Su Ya has a request, I hope Your Majesty can grant it......"

"Speak!" Mondevia IV didn't think about it, raised his eyebrows, looked at Su Ya, and said lightly.

"Your Majesty......" Su Ya frowned, her eyes immediately had a somewhat resolute look, and then she said word by word: "After the war in the northwest, the Macedonians have been defeated, and they must not dare to rashly invade the western frontier of our empire. Therefore, I would like to implore Your Majesty to allow me to temporarily relieve me of my military power and my position in the military department, and to give me a period of time to return to the province to deal with family affairs, and if Your Majesty makes arrangements again, Su Ya will come to the imperial capital again to resume his life. ”

"Oh, how long will it take you? As a Duke of the Empire, and you have some rank of Major General of the Empire in the military department, if you leave your post for too long, it will inevitably be a little inappropriate. Mondevideo IV squinted, and there was no change in expression on his face.

"The long is a year, the short is a few months, it's all up to Your Majesty!"

Mondevia IV frowned at this time, his face showed a little hesitation, and his eyes seemed to deliberately sweep over the circle of nobles in the audience, but not many people's eyes dared to look at His Majesty the Emperor.

Although not many people know the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor, some old fritters who are often crawling around in this aristocratic circle seem to have noticed a bit of a strange taste: it is obviously a commendation ceremony for the Northwest War, but the duchess unexpectedly asked for a temporary resignation from the military, which is indeed a bit strange...... What's even more surprising is that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't seem to be surprised?!

At this time, the Norman Duke, who stayed in the crowd and didn't say a word, finally couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then stepped forward in two steps, met the gaze of Montevideo IV, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, since there are things to deal with within the Duke's family, and the Duke, as the patriarch, is naturally duty-bound. And although the military department has a lot of affairs, the Duke of Casa is only temporarily leaving, so there must be no surprises......"

"That's it......" Montevideo IV pondered for a moment, his eyes turned, his frowning brows relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Since this is the case, then I will agree to your request, after all, the Bright Empire has been established for hundreds of years, and the major nobles in the empire are also the pillars of the empire's stability...... In this case, let go of the matter of your military position being sealed, regardless of other rewards, you can't help but reward them. In this way, officially crown Su Ya as the Duke of Ellios, cancel the previous title of Duke of Casa, and add the county town of Massa in the East China Sea Province outside the southern province to the fief of Duke Ellios, Su Ya, what do you think?"

Su Ya still didn't have too many emotional changes on her face, as if she had already known the emperor's arrangement, but she still gave a military salute, and saluted sideways at Mondevia IV: "Su Ya has no objection, and the Ellios family is grateful to Your Majesty for the reward." His Majesty the Emperor's will is what the sword of the Ellios family points to! The Ellios family will always be loyal to the light of the sun!"

As soon as His Majesty the Emperor said this, the other nobles were even more shocked: restoring the title of Duke Ellos is nothing, because although Su Ya is the successor duke of the Ellios family, but because the title of the family can generally be inherited after the family patriarch is thirty years old, this is also a tradition among the nobles of the Bright Empire. Sua succeeded to the dukedom at the age of twenty, but because of her young age, she could not officially be called "Duke of Ellios", but according to tradition, she was given the title of "Duke of Casa".

The title "Casa" comes from the name of a famous female knight in the empire at the beginning of the founding of the Empire of Light, and later gradually extended to a female aristocratic title, and a total of three female nobles in the hundreds of years of history of the Empire of Light have taken this as their title.

Conferring the title of "Duke of Ellios" on Suya in advance can barely be regarded as an honor, but it is a great reward for Mondevia IV to include a county town in the province of the East China Sea into the fief of the Ellios family!
