"This old lord has only one son?" Bird asked suddenly.

Mick was also stunned, thinking to himself why the lord asked this question? Could it be that he could still let his youngest son become the next lord?

But since Bird asked, he couldn't pretend not to hear, and hurriedly said, "Four sons"

"Could it be that the other three sons don't have the idea of becoming lords?" Bird also said his thoughts.

It didn't matter what Bird said, but Mick was startled and wanted to immediately step forward and cover Bird's mouth. Hurriedly glanced at the attendants around, and hurriedly whispered, "Lord Lord, this primogeniture is the law of the empire, and anyone who violates this law will be attacked by everyone!

"Yes, yes, yes!" Bird also suddenly remembered this and quickly nodded in response. As he raised his hand, his fingers kept shaking slightly, indicating that what Mick said was correct.

When Bird heard about this law, he forgot about it as if he had heard it, because the previous lord had saved him a child, and he was still a boy. He didn't have to worry about the lordship at all.

In fact, Bird is more impressed by the harshness of the laws of the Empire, and anyone who violates the laws of the Empire is tantamount to treason, which is the first article of the laws of the Empire. Because of this, Mick looked a little nervous when he heard Bird ask about primogeniture.

"You guys go out for a while, I have something important to discuss with Captain Mick!" Bird shouted, waving his hand as he motioned to a few of the attendants in the room.

Several attendants hurriedly trotted away from the house, and closed the door with them.

Only Bird and Mick were left in the room.

"You say, if this eldest son dies, will the others make a fuss because they are vying for the throne?" Bird suddenly asked Mick in a low voice.

Mick was also taken aback by Bird's thought, wondering why the young man in front of him suddenly had such a thought.

"The eldest son died, and the second son succeeded to the throne, in order, no," Mick shook his head.

"Then can we support someone to take the position?

"No, there are several free territories around the Duchy of Bertat, and we are still relatively weak. There's no need for anyone else to cooperate with us!, and we've never had much contact with the heirs of the Duchy of Bertat," Mick gave Bird another critical blow.

"Then what do you say? Is it true that there is no solution? Watching others bully us in vain?" Bird suddenly felt a little annoyed, and couldn't help but reprimand with anger in his words.

"This ......," Mick was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

As soon as he learned of the news, he hurried into the palace to pass the news to Bird, and he didn't think much about the solution to the matter.

He denied Bird's statement before and denied it very quickly, but when it was time for him to come up with his own idea, Mick was stunned.

Seeing Mick like this, Bird could only sigh.

He stepped forward and patted Mick on the shoulder and said, "You are the head of a local knight order, and now that the financial power is in your own hands, you have to learn to think about problems, and even if you can't, you have to find someone who can think about problems to help you."

There is no reproach in Bird's words, more just relationships. After all, Mick was raised by him, and it was his decision to become the head of the local knights. It was also his decision to let him join the space.

"How about you tell Aubrey about this, discuss it for a while, and we'll discuss it in detail at the regular meeting in a few days?" Bird said to Mick in a consultative tone.

Mick wasn't as fragile as Bird thought, and nodded in response, "Okay, that's okay."

Bird smiled and patted Mick on the shoulder again.

※※※

Bird wondered if he hadn't taken a shower the day before New Year's holidays according to his memories of his previous life, and he was now in bad luck.

Mick had been out for an hour when he saw him run in again.

It is said that there is a dead person in the central square, and the most troublesome thing is that the dead person happens to be a stranger, and he is also a stranger from the circus.

The circus group is now making trouble in the central square, and they don't let the knights get close to the body of the deceased, saying that the murderer is in their own city, which makes the local residents extremely unhappy.

"The head of the circus said that you must come forward to solve this matter."

Bird watched as Mick muttered and rolled his eyes.

Seeing Bird like this, Mick quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look again. Now that the words have been brought, it is his own business whether Bird is willing to intervene in this matter.

"By the way, there's one more thing I forgot to mention," Mick said, glancing cautiously at Bird.

"Say!" Bird now also has the mentality of breaking the bowl and falling, since the troubles are all together, he doesn't think there are too many lice, and asked directly.

"Among the officials who came to meet yesterday morning, there are still a few of them who have been outside the door since yesterday and waiting for the lord's reception."

"Didn't I tell them all to go back, and I accepted all the gifts," Bird was also quite surprised when he first heard about it.

"Are these people who didn't come to the regular meeting that day?"

"Yes" Mike nodded slightly, but he lost the indignation at the beginning, and felt more pity for these people. Duncan had never pleaded with him and others before. Since these people stood up outside the palace gate yesterday, they haven't seen Sid and others pleading for them, and they haven't seen much tea and water.

"What's your list?"

"It will take two or three days"

"How many people are still standing outside the door?"

"Five"

"You don't have to be on this list of these five people, but they will all demote me, regardless of ability!" Bird thought for a moment, and the matter was decided.

"Okay" Mick was not as eager to reject Bird's proposal as before, but pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, the approach proposed by Lord Bird was indeed a good solution.

Mick raised his hand and prepared to retire, wanting to settle the matter as soon as possible.

Bird hurriedly called out to Mick, "Just send an attendant to handle this, you can follow me and bring some knights and horses to the central square to see what happened."
