Viscount Stark finally passed away in front of everyone's attention, quietly, like everyone else in this world, and came to his own destiny.

The whole farewell service lasted for three days, and the villagers and citizens of the territory kept flocking to this small villa, because they could not set foot in the villa, so they only prayed outside, and then returned to their fields or towns, such a large-scale movement made this barren land lively because of the death of the owner.

The neighboring nobles also arrived one after another, to see the last face of Viscount Stark, Jonas is the heir of the viscount, after the farewell service is over, after the viscount is buried, he will officially inherit as the lord of the viscount of Birlo, of course, he also needs to be by the side, by the way, get acquainted with his future neighbors.

But the nobles who arrived just looked at the departing Viscount Stark and hurried away, without giving Jonas time to get acquainted with his neighbors, for the simple reason of course, the Viscount of Piedmont did not arrive.

The Count of Piedmont is not like the Earl of Il, he has no control over the nobles in the realm, he has been in charge of the land for 20 years, which makes most of the nobles willing to obey him, only a few nobles are still resisting, so his statement made Jonas, the new viscount, a little embarrassed.

As for why this count provoked Jonas, the reason is even simpler, because Jonas is also the heir to the viscount of Ruger, so according to the male inheritance law, his lord is not the Count of Piedmont, but the Count of Saluzzo, Il.

Of course he wouldn't have come to congratulate someone who had taken away his vassal.

During this time, some people couldn't help but cry and grieve, some lamented their ill-fated fate, and some began to complain about why they were not nobles, everyone had their own thoughts after the death of Viscount Sdarke, but Jonas, no.

During the days of farewell service, Jonas had been thinking about a question other than being at the mercy of the butler Doron and his mother every day like a doll to meet those whom he did not want to see but had to see.

Why did Viscount Stark, his own grandfather, want to inherit his domain to himself?

It's strange that he lied to him and he repaid him with virtue, isn't it?

He couldn't figure out the logic at all, because there was no logic at all, he was more like a prank that Stark had left Jonas before he died.

Jonas's confusion certainly did not stop the passage of time, and after all the farewell services, in the church of the country house, and after a small final sabbath service, Viscount Stark Birro was sent to the family cemetery not far from here for burial.

"This is the last Billo to be buried here. Sandra said with some sadness that she and her sisters will be buried in their family cemetery with their husbands, and Jonas, who inherited the title, will obviously not be buried here, so from a narrow concept, the Billo family is extinct, which is a little sad for Sandra.

The burial went smoothly, because there were very few people, except for a few vassals of Viscount Stark and some officials, there was no one else, which made the whole ceremony look very solemn.

At the end of the filling, Sandra couldn't help but cry, knowing that from now on, his only relatives would be the Ruger family, and his father would be sleeping here for a long time.

"It's all over. Sitting in the original Sdarke's study, looking at the sparse bookcase, Jonas sighed heavily, at this moment, he obviously didn't look like a child.

"Young Master, it's just the beginning. The door that had been ajar was suddenly opened, and Doron walked in from the outside, saying something that Jonas thought was strange.

"What did you say, Doron?" asked Jonas.

"Young Master, do you want to know what the Viscount's last words mean before he passed away?" Doron didn't continue to repeat what he had just said, he didn't like others to take his words as the wind in his ears, so he only said them once.

"What do you know?" Jonas was not arrogant in Doron, because Doron didn't look like a butler now, although he was wearing a butler costume, but that temperament reminded Jonas of Father Nader, which was a scholar's temperament.

"Of course, Master Jonas, let me tell you the reason for His Excellency Viscount Sdalk's last words. There was no undulation in Doron's voice, or any emotion, as if he was talking about a stranger, but the expression on his face was sad and strange.

In the study of the villa, after Dolon's words were over, there was an eerie silence, and Jonas sat where his grandfather had sit, and after listening to Dolon's story, he was stupid.

Viscount Sdark has no amnesia at all, and those words that don't remember things are all disguised, just to pick out a better person from his many successors, so that the Billrow family can continue.

And another reason is that Stark lost his family affection in the second half of his life, his daughters gradually got married, and for various reasons, they could not often come back to see themselves, and this time, at the end of Viscount Stark's life, the three daughters stood together again as if they were more than ten years ago, which is what Stark wants to see.

"My young master, the future Viscount, is there anything else you want me to say?" Doron's soft whisper sent chills down Jonas' body.

"Why did he do that?" Jonas found his mind dull now, and had to ask Doron to answer his question. Obviously, he couldn't understand why the old man would choose someone who had deceived him since he had no problem with his brain, which was very strange.

"Because the Birro family needs a flexible nobleman to inherit this inheritance. Doron's voice was steady, and it didn't change in the slightest from Jonas's sluggish expression.

"Why do you need a flexible nobleman?" Jonas continued to ask, there is such a criterion for choosing an heir this year, don't ordinary nobles choose a mature and stable heir, except for the poor and change, and when they change, they will choose a flexible nobleman.

Thinking of this, Jonas suddenly felt bad in his heart, why didn't this matter seem to be so simple?

"Because the Birro family has a lot of debt. The corners of Dolong's mouth turned up a little, and the huge fortune that the old man had left to this successor was about to startle the young man in front of him through his own mouth, and his voice couldn't help but become an emphasis during the poetry recitation.
