"Your Majesty, I feel the need to take back Duke Tulip's duchy title!"

Under the throne, a minister knelt down at Erin and reported.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the other officials next to the minister showed a look of surprise and fear.

Now who doesn't know that the most favored by His Majesty Erin in the kingdom is Claire, the Duke of Tulip in Griffin's territory, and he actually dares to make such a proposal, does he think that he has nine heads that can be cut off?

Erin's expression did not change significantly, but said lightly, "Why? ”

"The Mermaid Harbor in the Griffin Territory is now the second largest port city in the kingdom, and Nafu City controls almost all the economic lifelines in the southern part of the kingdom, and the annual income of the Griffin Territory is an astronomical amount, and you have approved Lord Claire's power to establish a principality, and now the Griffin Territory does not need to provide taxes to the royal capital, which is a big loss for us."

"If there is the blessing of the Griffin Collar's taxes, then the economy of our kingdom will not be so tight, and it will be able to develop more favorably."

As soon as Erin wanted to speak, the minister kneeling below spoke: "And the reason why the Griffin territory can develop so well now is also because it has attracted the economy of other territories in the kingdom to grow in the past, so even if Your Majesty takes back Lord Claire's duchy title, it will not cause any bad impact." ”

As soon as these words came out, Erin on the throne was silent for a while, and finally slowly spoke: "I have to consider this proposal." ”

As soon as the kneeling minister wanted to speak again, Sophia stood up in time, "Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report. ”

Sophia's insertion also interrupted the minister's next words, and after glancing at the atmosphere of the scene, the other party still stood up and retreated to his previous position.

……

The court meeting ended, in the small palace where Irene rested in the royal palace.

"They're ready to move again." Erin said lightly.

Sophia also nodded in response: "Now there are quite a few nobles united below, and there are a lot of shadows of the Sword Saint and other Magister families behind them. ”

"They are now using Claire to test your attitude, angry with me bluntly, Your Majesty, you shouldn't have compromised just now, if you don't back down, those people will become even more inch-inch."

Erin was silent, but picked up a piece of fruit and put it in her mouth, chewing it gently.

After becoming a king, you can't do whatever you want, and there are still the Juggernaut family and those Magister families who are constantly fighting for power and profit for their families. The king's main duty is to balance the struggle for power among those below, so that one side does not become too powerful and suppresses the others, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the kingdom.

At first, Erin was fine when she first came to power, but after killing a group of people, those big nobles became a lot quieter. But as time went on, those people began to move again, they were not the biggest gainers of Irene's ascendancy, so now they are taking back what they lost step by step.

The minister who admonished him just now was just a substitute for the ghosts pushed out by those Magisters and the Sword Saint family, and even if Erin killed him, it would not play a big role, on the contrary, he would leave a certain handle, so that those people could take it out and publicize it loudly, so that the incident would become more favorable to them.

And why Claire came out to be a target, it is also the choice of those families after careful consideration, the first is that Claire is very important to Erin, so you can test what Erin's attitude is, if Erin refuses very resolutely, it is not that they have to give up, but that they need to adjust the plan.

What's more, their nobles really covet the income of the current Griffin Domain, there are no other nobles there, and all the income goes into Claire's pocket. So they are naturally like going to get a piece of the pie, as long as they get a little bit, it is also a big source of income.

After eating the fruit in her mouth, Erin said, "You should come down first, isn't it up to me to wait for how long?" ”

Sophia rubbed the corners of her eyes, she and Erin are one, so she has also faced challenges and temptations from various forces these days, and she has also lost a lot in the process.

"Need to tell Claire about this?" Sophia asked.

"Say, let him also watch out for some of those people's little moves."

"Okay, I'll send someone to do it when I get back."

Gu Xuan

"Wait." Erin suddenly stretched out her hand, "No, I haven't seen him for a long time, I'll go over myself." ”

"Do you need me to come with you?"

"No need, it's just a matter of a day or two, when I'm not there, you help me keep an eye on those nobles in the royal capital, don't let them give birth to anything for me again."

"Understood."

……

The distance between the royal capital and the Griffin territory is not particularly far, at least for the magician, it is a matter of ten minutes.

If you use space to teleport, then the time can be shortened.

After getting up, Erin came to Griffin's territory that afternoon, and because it was a private visit to Weifu, no one knew about her arrival.

But when she arrived at Nafu City, Erin was shocked by the scene in front of her.

It didn't correspond to all the memories in her head, it was like an ancient man suddenly came to a modern city, and it wasn't the architecture of Nafu that made Irene feel this way, but the people who lived here gave her this feeling, and the faces of those who came and went were full of heartfelt smiles. It's a strange feeling, like that's how people are supposed to live.

Erin, who was in a daze at the city gate, attracted the attention of the others, and a young man about her age came up and asked, "Miss, are you coming to Nafu City for the first time?" ”

Erin nodded first, then shook her head quickly, "I was here a few years ago, but I didn't expect it to change so much. ”

The boy laughed, "Under the leadership of Lord Lord, our Griffin Territory has developed very well, so the changes are naturally a little bigger. ”

"Do you need me to show you around Nafu?"

Erin withdrew her eyes and nodded, "Yes, how much does it cost?" ”

The young man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We don't charge money, we are volunteering, and we will bring some first-time tourists to know Nafu City." ”

Erin was a little surprised, there are also people in the royal capital who are specially introduced to lead the way, but those are to collect money, and if you see how deceitful you are, they will trick you.

"Do you have any money for this volunteer activity?"

"Since it's a volunteer activity, how can you have money, but you will be provided with three meals." The boy scratched his head and smiled: "I just graduated now, and I haven't figured out what to do for the time being, so I came to participate in this support activity in order not to be a moth who has not contributed to the territory." However, even if I find a job in the future, I will find time to do some volunteer activities. ”

"Are there a lot of volunteering activities like this?"

"There are quite a lot, such as cleaning the streets and taking care of the elderly, and there will be volunteer activities when some activities in the government office need manpower."

"Are there many people who go there?"

"Of course, there are a lot of them, and I managed to grab them all this time."

When Erin heard this, she was stunned, as if the people here were not the same world as the world she lived in.

"So Miss, do you need to lead the way? I know a lot about Nafu City. ”

Erin just wanted to nod her head in agreement, but in the next second, a voice came from behind the young man, "No need, I'll come, we know each other." ”

Erin stood on tiptoe and tilted her body to look over, and when she saw the figure of the person who spoke, her eyes narrowed and she laughed.
