In feudal times, there were generally two types of succession to the domain after the nobility had become extinct.

One situation is that the realm is taken back directly by the lord and becomes a domain under the lord's direct jurisdiction or is divided among other nobles.

This is not particularly common, and is common when the lord is strong or the family of the heir is not married or has a side branch.

The other is the vast majority of cases, that is, after an open and secret battle, the territory is inherited by the marriage family or the collateral branch family of the heir family with a certain inheritance right.

The same is true of the world of Miria.

Not only that, because there are supernatural powers in the world of Miria, and the marriage between the transcendents can increase the probability of the offspring awakening the supernatural power, so the marriages between nobles in this world are more frequent.

Taking the Castel family as an example, if you really want to track it, almost the entire Duchy of Boulder, and even some other noble families in the Crescent Kingdom outside the Duchy of Boulder, have married Castre, which can be regarded as distant or close relatives.

In other words, if Charlotte burped, the Duchy of Boulder, and even the families outside the Duchy that had weak claims to the succession of the Counts of Castel, would grab a handful.

Of course, where there is the right to claim, there is a ranking.

And among all the succession rankings, the Boulder family, which is both a lord and a master, and has also had a marriage of the previous generation, is a well-deserved first.

Others have weak claims at best, but the Border family has strong claims, or even direct successors.

In other words, once something happens to Charlotte, the county of Castel will almost certainly return to the Duke's Palace.

Charlotte, who had already made up for the noble knowledge of this world, quickly figured out these ways.

"How did that assassin bring his weapon in?"

She thought for a moment and asked again.

This time, Quasimodo looked at Nice, the black cat, and Nice snorted and said:

"It's a temporary additional space magic, and it's a fairly advanced technique, your servant is not a transcendent being, so naturally he can't see it."

"Temporary attached? Is there a transcendent behind him? ”

Charlotte's heart fluttered slightly.

"Yes, meow, but he won't say it, or he can't, he should have been cast a spiritual amnesia spell, and he only remembers that he has a weapon that can be hidden."

"In his words, even if he is used, as long as he can avenge his family, he is willing."

Ness licked his paw and said.

"But if you track it down, you can still track it to the Duke's Palace, right?"

Charlotte took a sip of milk and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Ness hehe hey twice, which is considered a tacit acquiescence, obviously "evidence" has been found.

"A fool who can't measure his own strength and is used as a gun!"

Charlotte's gaze turned cold and she added a new label to the Assassin.

Obviously, this is another planting.

Indeed, from the point of view of inheritance, if there is anyone who would prefer Charlotte's death, it is undoubtedly the Duke of Boulder on the surface.

Such a false accusation is also easier to be believed by the public.

But Charlotte didn't think the Duke of Boulder would be so stupid.

Aristocracy has the rules of nobility, and following the rules is the most important thing for all Miria nobles.

In the game of thrones, a lot of dirt can be hidden in the shadows, but not in the open.

If the Duke of Boulder did assassinate her and the matter was revealed, he would be charged with murder.

This is no ordinary murder.

As beneficiaries of the transcendent system of rule, the nobles of Miria were privileged.

The Holy Court and Charlemagne I, the founding emperor of the Unette Empire, who laid the foundation for the current political landscape of Miria, signed a Sacred Code of Law, which clearly defined the rights and duties of the nobles.

And the murder of nobles, even the lower nobles, is not allowed in the political circles of the Miriad world.

Even the Holy Court regarded this as a sin, and even had the right to excommunicate the murderer and excommunicate him!

The monarchy is divinely granted, and the royal power comes from the divine right, and the same is true of the nobles' control over the land.

That's when it gets lively.

Once excommunicated, the Duke of Boulder's control over the realm and even his legitimacy would be weakened.

At that time, the succession of the county of Castel will definitely not be obtained, and the vassal nobles may also take the opportunity to do something.

No one is a fool, everyone is staring at the Duke's Palace.

The boss under the feudal system is not so easy to be, and the vassal nobles are all human spirits, fishing in troubled waters, stealing and playing tricks, and disobeying the yang and the yin...... Play the thief slippery.

Even the Castel family, who were praised by the Duke of Boulder as the humerus of the duchy, had a habit of falsifying accounts to lower the income of the territory on the surface, thereby reducing the deed tax paid.

Not to mention other families.

Most of the vassal nobles up and down Boulder were eager for the Duke's palace to weaken immediately, so they could sit down and reduce the rate of contract taxes and levies in their vassal contracts.

When that time comes, I'm afraid that even the other lords of the Crescent Moon Kingdom and even the royal family will be ready to move.

Presumably, the Crescent King will not miss this good opportunity, and will definitely use this as an excuse to weaken the Boulder family, and even take back some of the Duke's direct domains.

Centralization has always been the dream of every feudal monarch.

So...... As long as Duke Boulder was not stupid, it would have been impossible to assassinate Charlotte.

At least you can't get your hands dirty, and if you want to do it, you can't do it secretly, and you can't be caught by others.

Not to mention that this is the most inferior means.

Empathy, if Charlotte herself is the Duke of Boulder, wouldn't it be fragrant if she had a horse fall accident after the marriage?

Even if you don't fall off the horse, you will give birth to an heir with the surname Boulder!

The Duke's family is not without ...... it!

As if thinking of something, Charlotte suddenly snorted, and her face was a little unpleasant.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of the rumors that when she was in the church hospital, those broken-mouthed believers ran like trains.

"Quasimodo, the Duke invited me to a banquet in a week's time, and reminded me that it was related to the future of the Castells, you say...... What does this mean exactly? ”

She took a deep breath and asked.

"Something to do with the family's future?"

Quasimodo was stunned, his face dazed.

Seeing his Abba Aba's expression, Charlotte knew that although his old servant was loyal, his political acumen was probably almost zero.

"You say...... The Duke's Court doesn't want to marry me, does it? ”

Charlotte voiced her guess.

Quasimodo frowned:

"Marriage? But the Duke is not without a male heir...... Wait a minute! The bastard?! ”

His eyes widened suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, Charlotte saw that her old servant was as angry as an old hen guarding her cubs, and her beard fluttered angrily:

"Dream! It's a dream! ”

"He wants to marry our noble Castel family with a filthy illegitimate son, even if he is a duke, he can't insult his master like this!"

Charlotte was taken aback by Quasimodo's reaction.

The old servant, who had always been docile, began to curse like a powder keg lit at this moment, greeting the Duke's family from top to bottom, even if it was just Charlotte's speculation.

And listening to the other party's filthy curses without aristocratic etiquette, Charlotte gradually came back to her senses.

Same as Blue Star, no, worse than Blue Star.

The illegitimate son of the aristocracy in this world has a very low status.

Not only did it not have the right to inherit, but it was also the bottom of the chain of contempt of the nobility.

It's no wonder that Quasimodo is so angry, even if he is the son of a duke, the status of an illegitimate son determines that Leno's status in the aristocratic circle is even inferior to that of a lowest-ranking baron.

At most, that is, by virtue of extraordinary strength, it is equivalent to a knight, or a knight with a stain.

However, Quasimodo's reaction also relieved Charlotte.

Even her own servants were so angry, so if the Duke really proposed to marry, she could have righteously refused in the honor of the family.

Quasimodo scolded for a long time.

And scolding and scolding, as if he was tired of scolding, and as if he remembered something, he suddenly stopped and asked:

"Wait, master, how old is the illegitimate son of the Duke's family? What is the strength? Have you awakened the power of the bloodline? ”

"Twenty years old, it seems to be the second order of the silver moon."

Charlotte said as she lifted her goblet and put it to her lips gracefully.

"Twenties? Silver Moon Second Order?! ”

Quasimodo's eyes lit up instantly.

He got up one by one and pressed the table excitedly:

"The hosts! Gotta take him down! We must find a way to take him down! ”

"Poof......

Charlotte choked and sprayed Quasimodo's milk.

Quasimodo didn't care at all, but said excitedly:

"Silver Moon Second Order! He's the Silver Moon Second Order! Such a young Silver Moon Second Order! ”

"You said it earlier! Then it's fine! No...... It's better to say that his illegitimate status is a good thing! ”

"Combined with him, the family can have one more strong reinforcement, or a strong reinforcement with unlimited potential!"

"Strength can erase the stain, plus the illegitimate son can't inherit the territory, and must be rich, our Castel family can completely continue the bloodline!"

"Not to mention that you have also awakened the power of the bloodline today, and you are still so powerful, under the combination of strong and powerful...... You're sure to be able to give birth to a stronger heir! ”

"Bai has a strong reinforcement of the second order of the Silver Moon, and he has continued the powerful bloodline......"

"The hosts! This is a great thing! ”

Looking at Quasimodo, who was getting more and more excited the more he talked, Charlotte's face turned completely dark.

She couldn't wait to pick up the goblet and slam it down on the other man's shiny brain door.

Good for your uncle!

Give birth to your heir!

Pinch granny drops!

After Lao Tzu crossed over, he was cute and acting in women's clothes...... That's for the sake of being a lord in the future!

Instead of taking off your clothes and lying on the bed with your eyes closed to make others happy!

Marriage?

!

No way!
