Chapter 393: The Prince (I)
Walking into the side hall, dozens of nobles dressed in gorgeous costumes were among them.
Judging by the red-faced faces of most of them, Kensel could imagine what a noisy scene he had been before he came in.
Looking around, there are few old faces, and Kensel's spirit is relaxed.
Among the aristocracy, the older and stronger, this is true.
What makes His Majesty most jealous is not those small and medium-sized nobles who are like clowns jumping off the beam, but these big families who stand at the back and manipulate everything with invisible threads.
The four marquis families are the strongest backing of the royal family, and before they ascended to the throne, Kensel received the support of these families.
Now it was the nobles of the earl rank who were bothering him, and they were bothering him.
Hyenas have sharp teeth and a healthy body, and if they are used well, they can help male lions hunt, and if they are not used well, they will hurt their owners.
With the complete capture of Charlotte and the nearly doubling of the size of the country, the kingdom of Faustin is at its strongest moment in history, and Kensel does not want to be a sinner of the royal family, and every step needs to be cautious.
Seeing that His Majesty the King walked into the side hall without saying a word, several active family heads wanted to stir up the conversation.
The mainstay of these families have all returned in the plane war, and with the strict adherence to the rules of the knights' hall, these knights will not talk much.
But people are old and fine, and after a little turn, they can figure out that most of the high-ranking attendants who have not come back will probably never come back.
High-level combat power is not the only criterion for measuring the strength of a family, but it also reflects the most intuitive competitiveness of a family.
A family without the protection of a top powerhouse is like a beast without sharp teeth and teeth, and can only be eliminated in the law of the jungle of natural selection.
In Faustin's current form, it is impossible to start another foreign war, and neither the Holy Tower nor the Knight's Hall will allow unwarranted disasters to occur.
Unless their country has a second-tier knight, or a stronger existence, Faustan will have the ability, or 'excuse', to have more territory.
Since it is impossible to obtain benefits from the outside world, many people see the domestic market.
Struggle is an ever-present contradictory topic, and it is not something you can refuse if you want to, or you can not participate if you want to.
To give up is to be eliminated, and no one wants to be replaced by someone else who has worked so hard to build the family business.
Now those families who have lost high-ranking squires are lambs on the table, and there are already anxious hunters who can't wait to share a piece of the pastry.
However, before enjoying this pastry, the hyenas need to serve the largest and fattest pastry, and the king is the biggest hunter.
The king enjoyed the heart, the marquis scraped the lean meat, and the leftover vegetable leaves were their staple food.
To be honest, Kensell was ambitious before he became king, but when he really stood in this position, he realized that many of them were different from what he imagined.
Several of these families who were forced into the palace were still his supporters when he inherited the throne, and there were even two high-ranking attendants who fell in the plane war, and they were the corps commanders under him.
But now, driven by power and class, he needs to cut the first piece of meat off the board.
Of course, it's not all bad.
At least Kensel knew in his heart that some families could move, and some families needed to let go.
"The Griffins are going to Seth Province. In the midst of the discussion, the king suddenly said.
"It works. ”
"Good. ”
"Seconded. ”
“。。。 ”
The province of Seth is the northern province of the old land of Charlotte, where there are many mountains and forests, but there is no valuable mineral deposits, and the local population is quite xenophobic, especially those of Faustin blood.
The Griffin family went there, at least for two generations, and they didn't want to return to the core of the royal capital.
The earl family, which used to have a number of kings, has fallen like this after losing two high-level attendant-level powerhouses, which can be described as a hot and cold world.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" said the aged Doug Griffin, prostrate in thanks.
Being assigned to the outlying area is already a good ending for the Griffin family, at least retaining the title of earl, which means that there is still a chance.
Kensel was indeed a man of great ability, and while most people thought it was a crackdown on the Griffin family's property, only a few knew that it was His Majesty the King protecting the Griffins.
Looking at the nobles below, arguing endlessly for the sake of fur interests, Kensel habitually rubbed his brow.
I envy the Marquis of Wood, Kensel thought.
The current Marquess of Wood is the same age as Kensell, and he and Prince Kensell are also close friends in the barracks, and the two often go out hunting together.
When he, His Majesty, was troubled in the palace, the Marquis of Wood, fearing that he was not in the gentle country, but was looking for fun in the wilderness.
Suppressing the irritability in his heart, Kensel stood up and stopped the endless discussion in front of him.
"The rest of Eddie's family, the Bosie family, and the Clive family will not be discussed for the time being, I have my own decision!"
"Well?" the king's words caught the attention of everyone present.
Eddie and the other three families are another topic that needs to be discussed in parliament today, the three families are only the viscount family, and they are not strong supporters of Prince Kensell before he inherits the throne.
After losing the high-ranking knight of the family, he was completely reduced to fish meat on the board, just to be scraped clean.
So much so that none of the heads of these three small families were invited to the palace today.
Resigned to fate is the only thought of the heads of these small families, and they can only hope that King Kensel, the new king, can leave them a way back, just as Kensel leaves a way back for other families.
Blindly depriving and suppressing is not a qualified king, nor does it guarantee that Faustin will maintain prosperity and balance the forces of all parties, which is what Kensel needs to do, and he still has a long way to go on the road to the throne.
"As we all know, my sister is back. Prince Kensel said without a trace.
The noble ministers all listened quietly to see what His Majesty was doing.
"Faustin, then, may soon have an extra prince. The king's words still echoed in the side hall.
。。。
A week later, the palace was decorated with festive red silk.
The whole royal city of Flor was plunged into a revelry, and the commoners, who had been happy about the tax cuts a week ago, had another after-dinner conversation a week later.
Their beloved sister of His Majesty the King will be out of the Cabinet today.
Marrying the princess was a viscount named Locke, a viscount who had rarely heard of it, and who was a keen gossiper, used all their means to find out the background of the new prince.
Prince?
These days, old Locke and Tia are living in a dream.
First, the son and daughter who had been away for more than three years suddenly returned, and then a series of rewards from the palace came down, which stunned the hearts of the two old men.
"Madam, can you see this colored silk hanging here?"
"Sir, this is the tobacco I brought from the south, I don't know if you like it or not. ”
"Viscount Valen is out with a gift and wants to visit. ”
“。。。。。。 ”
The original remote and secluded home has been very lively recently.
Countless nobles came to visit in groups, from the small baron to the envoy of the marquis's family, which really made the two old men tired of hospitality.
Today is a day of great joy, and the two elders are also wearing gorgeous clothes, neat and tidy, waiting for Luan's departure at any time.
After more than ten years of aristocratic life in Flor, old Locke and Tia are now not at all from commoner background.
Luxurious clothes, exquisite food, cumbersome and noble aristocratic etiquette, let them complete a gorgeous transformation.
Only the maids and servants in the mansion can find out the difference between them and other nobles from the simplicity and kindness that the two masters usually reveal.
"I didn't think that Brother Locke is not only a viscount now, but also a princess who wants to marry a princess and become a prince. Said the strong man with thicker arms than ordinary thighs, with a full chin of stubble, a straight body, and calluses on his hands, Locke's former brother, Hans, had been specially invited from the province of Del.
"yes, it's incredible. Next to him, Kane, who was thin and had a pair of sharp eyes, said.
As Locke's most powerful right-hand man on the battlefield, these two must be present when Locke holds a grand wedding.
In addition to the two of them, there are also many familiar faces from Maple Leaf Village and Mine Town in the mansion, such as Uncle Yoshak, Carl and others, who just exchanged greetings with Old Locke.
These commoners from the countryside of Kaidozi had heard a long time ago that the Locke family had become prosperous, and not only became nobles, but also settled in the royal capital.
But what exactly is developed, no one knows.
Today they saw it, it turned out to be the prince's family, and all the residents of the mining town who saw this scene were honored.
"You and your brother didn't discuss it with me, and just made me a viscount. Luan was driving, holding Angelina's hand, and Locke whispered.
"Hmph, you go to my brother and ask yourself. Angelina tilted her head.
After a week of adjustment, Angelina has come out of her sadness, and today is the most important moment in her life, to be able to build a life with her sweetheart, Angelina is in a very happy mood at this time, presumably the old king who died, and also hopes that Angelina can happily get married.
"Uh. Thinking of His Majesty the King, his own eldest brother, who gave him an unfathomable feeling, Locke hesitated for a moment.
Luan drove through the city of Flor for a half-day tour of the people, filled with flowers and blessings, and then returned to the palace, where more elaborate aristocratic ceremonies awaited the two couples.
Fortunately, Locke was mentally prepared for this, and gently complained about the cumbersomeness of the aristocratic rules, while his face was full of sunshine and a confident smile.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the royal city are watching them, and Locke can't drop the chain at this time.
