032. Grand Duke Debulle
Christian was born in a principality named Debulle.
The eldest son of the 9th Grand Duke de Boule, died in the Crusade.
The Ninth Grand Duke lost his heir, and the second son was born stupid.
A.E. In 1307, the Ninth Grand Duke died in the Woman's Heap.
On the same day, the stupid second son, "accidentally", fell from his horse, and two days later he was declared dead, and the status of the Grand Duke fell into the hands of the third son.
Half a year later, the younger brother of the 9th Grand Duke expelled his third nephew and proclaimed himself the 10th Orthodox Grand Duke.
But two years later, he died of excessive drinking, and the principality fell into chaos again.
This time, as many as four nobles joined the Grand Duke's dispute, Christian's father Ivan, and supported the only son of the eldest son of the ninth Grand Duke.
Poisoning, deception, seduction, and all kinds of means were unleashed, and the members of the principality clan were rapidly decreasing.
Half a year ago, at the age of 19, Chanan Day Robert became the 11th Grand Duke and began to confer meritorious honors.
Ivan was made a baron in charge of a manor of 3,500 men, and was given a separate castle surrounded by a moat and a ten-foot-high arrow tower, and served as the military governor of the principality.
The systems of various countries are different, and not all of them are princes and uncles.
The Duchy of Debulle was ruled by the Grand Duke, and under the Grand Duke were three lords: count, baron, and knight.
There were only six counts and twenty barons in the kingdom of independent castles, and Ivan had risen to the top of the pyramid of the nobility of the kingdom.
With such a status, even if he travels far away to other Illuminati countries, he will be courteous.
But this team-picking action sidelined the battle, so that Ivan's "eldest son" was killed in battle, and Christian, the second son who was far away in a foreign peninsula, received the call back paper.
The content mentioned in the document made Christian's heart beat violently when he read the letter, and he became the heir inexplicably!
He will also marry his brother's fiancée, the daughter of another veteran baron in the country.
Title, Land, Wife, Servant...... After falling asleep, I woke up and saw the letter from home, and I had everything.
At the moment, the party was a farewell to Christian, but after a few words, he took the lead and replaced it with a few people who listened to him tell him about the scenery of his hometown Duchy de Bull.
"There are two trees in front of my manor, one is a date tree...... The other is ......"
From the moment the buttocks were on the carpet, Christian's mouth never stopped, his saliva was splashing, and he even urged Brant to visit his hometown later.
The daily interaction with the monastery made him feel that Bran was very intelligent, and that he would definitely be a well-known figure in the future, and that he would make such friends and use them for himself in the future.
In Bran's eyes, Christian's status had skyrocketed, and he deserved to be befriended more deeply, so he made an appointment with him to exchange letters.
After a little drinking, Christian's red face began to laugh and sing songs in the dialect of his hometown that no one could understand.
For as long as he can remember, the half-brother who was six years older than himself and often beat him up had no good impression in his heart, and now that he had died in battle, he himself only had the excitement of becoming an heir, and there was no sense of sadness for his brother.
Christian, who had received the paperwork, was leaving the church today, so he spent some money to get a few bottles of ale and a bottle of wine, and drank them happily.
They were all teenage aristocratic teenagers, and there were a few aristocratic teenagers in the city of Meath, so it was nothing to drink a little wine, and after noon, it was the day when the church let the students go out on vacation, and Bran also drank two glasses.
"Did your father ask someone to bring a portrait of his fiancée, and if so, show it to us to see."
A drunken teenager wanted to see what Christian's wife looked like.
Christian glanced around, there were no outsiders, and then took out a small square box with him, which contained a piece of drawing paper, he gently spread it out, and several teenagers approached it, and as the paper was spread out, their breathing quickened, but after seeing this bust, someone sighed and was disappointed.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
To be honest, the painting is not ugly, and the painting process of this era - good at face painting, very realistic.
But painters depict nobles, often taking into account the aristocracy's mood and modification, especially female nobles often deliberately beautify, over time. People in this class know that seven or eight out of ten people who only paint busts are fat, and those who only paint side faces have eye diseases or scars in the other eye.
Bran also saw it, it was not ugly, but it was not beautiful, but among the nobles, the most important thing was "birth matching", and how much "prestige" could be added to the family by marrying with outsiders, dowry, and whether it was possible to produce a "claimed title" was the most important thing.
In herself, if a princess with a kingdom claim and an actual fief manor takes a fancy to herself, even if she is ugly and ignorant, and fat as a sow, Bran will definitely marry her.
The memories of his past life remain, and Bran is not a chick, and it is the same to blow out the candle flame anyway.
Christian was not angry when he saw that everyone was disappointed, and took a sip, "You know a fart, a good-looking woman is used as a mistress or concubine to please and take care of you, and as for a woman with high status, she is used to give birth to an heir, so that a family can inherit and honor for a long time." ”
A few months ago, Christian had studied the code of knighthood day and night, but now he didn't need it, and in the future, he was the supreme all in his realm, and he needed to start learning the prestige of the ***.
Listened to what Christian had to say.
"It makes sense, I think, I should also talk to my father, find a rich noblewoman for me, and it is better to have a territory to claim, so that I can have more money to squander, maybe luck comes, and I can inherit the new manor territory inexplicably."
A fifteen-year-old boy and baron's heir said.
The path of the nobility is arranged from birth. He drank heavily, and in half a year, he was ready to leave the monastery and return to the territory to get married, and he did not plan to go to Rome to further study, and he was already far more learned than his father.
At this farewell feast, except for Bran, who was to be copied in the afternoon, everyone was drunk, and everyone fell asleep, and the sparrows in the sky looked at it, and from time to time flew down and gnawed on the crumbs.
When Bran walked out of the copying room and returned to here, Christian was gone......
In the months that followed, some of the older students left and others joined.
By the end of August.
The number of students in the monastery came to forty-two.
Bran had become an old student and was chosen as secretary assistant to the "new dean" Franklin.
