Karl Empire, Tiannan Province, Rhodes Territory.
Rhodes, the owner of the realm is Lord Scott, the Marquis of Rhodes, who is hereditary of the Karl Empire.
The nobles who existed in the Rhodes family at the time of the founding of the Karl Kingdom, their ancestor Kartian Rhodes was the founding hero of the Karl Holy Emperor, after the establishment of the Karl Empire, Kartian Rhodes was named a marquis for his merits, you must know that there were only two dukes and seven marquis in the entire empire at that time. Therefore, the marquis of Kardeon Rhodes was a pivotal figure in the empire at that time, so after his death, he was even honored as a duke by the emperor at that time.
After nearly a thousand years of exhibition, the noble families of the country have been inherited for more than 20 generations, and at the same time, after a hundred years of changes, many nobles were born, and many old nobles fell.
In particular, the only two duke families in the empire, one of whom participated in the struggle for the throne and pressed the wrong treasure, was purged by the new emperor after coming to power, and the reduction of the title gradually declined. The other duke's family was even more ambitious and wanted to rebel, so they had the idea of replacing it. However, the rebellion did not succeed, but dragged down the whole clan, the men of the nine tribes were all wiped out, and the women were slaves and maids, and even the civilians could not do it.
In countless imperial struggles, the Rhodes family remained neutral, did not produce any greed, and looked harmless to humans and animals. So even though the empire has a history of thousands of years, this family has stood tall in the storms of the empire and has become one of the only five remaining nobles of the empire who have made meritorious contributions to the founding of the country.
The central castle of the Rhodes Domain.
A middle-aged butler with a serious face knocked on the door of the study.
"Come in. The owner of the castle, Scott Rhodes, shouted.
When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately pushed the door in: "My lord, the ninth lady was in pain just now, and she was about to give birth." ”
"Ah, I called a doctor...... No, did you hire a priest?" Scott asked, taken aback.
"Your Excellency. Pastor Sheess was ready and had already gone in. The butler replied respectfully.
When Scott learned that his wife was about to give birth, he immediately asked the butler to lead the way.
Although the Rhodes family has a pivotal position in the empire, in the past two hundred years, the family lineage has a heart problem, that is, from four generations up, each generation is a single lineage, even if each marquis marries more than ten ladies, it cannot be scattered. Several generations of single transmission, no matter how many daughters are born, only one son will be born. But women don't have any inheritance rights in the empire, so if there are no male heirs, then their family will probably be removed from the empire.
And when it comes to this generation of Marquis Rhodes, Scott Rhodes, the situation is even more serious, even if Marquis Scott married thirteen ladies in order to inherit the lineage, but now he is nearly fifty years old, not to mention that he has a son, that is, he does not even have a woman. There is no one to inherit the huge family business, which can really be described as a bleak evening.
Fortunately, the Holy Spirit opened his eyes and didn't want to let him die, the Ninth Lady, who he had been married for five years, finally became pregnant, and even the priest in the territory tested it, saying that this fetus was likely to be a boy, how could this not make Scott feel very relieved?
When they arrived at an inner room, they were blocked by several female priests of the goddess of love and fertility: "My lord, please wait. ”
Scott couldn't help but walk anxiously outside the room, and the butler could only look at his nose and nose like a wooden stake and pestle in one place, not disturbing his master, and at the same time praying to the gods in his heart, hoping that the mother and child would be safe, and praying for the blessing of his housewife.
Fortunately, in this world, the priest's spell is very effective and effective, and after a while, I heard the cry inside gradually weaken, and then. A loud baby cry resounded in the room.
"Congratulations to the Marquis, it's a boy!" a priest then came out to announce the good news.
"Good!" Scott was overjoyed, and as he walked through the door, the news that Rhodes had an heir left without passing through.
Even when it snowed heavily in winter at this time, within a day, the news was transmitted to the entire territory.
The territory immediately boiled, and it didn't even take long for it to reach the imperial capital, His Majesty the Emperor, through people with good intentions.
When the heir was born, the Marquis of Rhodes did not say that he would amnesty the world and rejoice with the people of the entire empire, but he also had to give generously to the people of Rhodes, and give two catties of white bread and a bottle of red wine to every citizen in the territory. Although it was a heavy hemorrhage, Marquis Scott was so happy, and for such a generous lord, the subjects were naturally moved and happy, praying for the lord's family.
Dealing with the common people, Marquis Scott was so generous, to the knights, knights, direct vassals in the territory, and the hundreds of people led by the bards who fought the autumn wind. Naturally, Scott doesn't act stingy.
As a sign of welcome, food and silver coins were generously given, and a grand dinner was held, with a mixture of blessings and merriments until late in the evening. At the same time, the territory is followed by a week of holidays, with various games and celebrations.
In the customs of the Karl Empire, the banquet for the birth of a child does not need to be very grand, and it should be the full moon wine of the child that should be treated solemnly. Because when the baby has lived in the world for a month, the baby can have its own name, and the gods of heaven can give the child all kinds of blessings, which is the most important part of determining the child's future path.
The full moon banquet was held lively, Scott not only invited all the leading figures in his territory, but also invited all the nobles in the empire, even if the aristocratic groups that are not usually very harmonious, they will not refute each other's face at such a time.
Even because of the status of the Rhodes family, even the royal family sent representatives to watch the full moon ceremony, although it was not the emperor himself, but it was also the prince trusted by His Majesty the emperor to send blessings to the child on behalf of the royal family.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my firstborn!" said Scott, with great honor, as the nurse brought her newborn son up.
Representatives of the royal family, priests of various churches, and nobles of status in the empire all gathered around, carefully observing the host of this banquet.
When the guests arrived, Scott shouted to the baby with a serious face, "Today's name is Darren, Darren Rhodes!"
Darren means a person who has the potential to achieve great things, and it is clear that although the little marquis is still only full moon, he has already been expected by Scott.
The little marquis has a name, and the next thing is to look at the priest, there are countless gods in this world, every living being is a believer in the gods, and the godless can only die!
Of course, because it is not the only God faith, as long as you believe in God, even if someone converts halfway, it is not a big rebellion. However, some kings and emperors did not conform to the beliefs of their ancestors, and religious wars arose. However, the Rhodes family does not have such strict things, and the head of the family will not imprison the faith of the family.
Therefore, most of the people of the Rhodes family are pan-believers and multi-believers, not devout believers, let alone fanatical believers!
And now, the priests of the major god cults are going to bless this little marquis and see how many gods this little guy can get.
