Chapter 30: The Royal Noble

Luther was right. Old Sol stayed in the small living room on the second floor with a few old friends, enjoying fine wine and occasionally eating some desserts.

The topic was nothing more than "rebellion".

Life in the countryside was too boring, especially in the countryside where there was nothing to do. Several knight lords were eager to go to war and have a war.

They wanted the rebellion to appear immediately.

Luther came to the guest room, knocked on the door, and then walked in.

Old Sol glanced at his son and was about to ask about the situation. He also saw Lucy Barton go to Luther. He knew some things about the Barton family. In fact, he was worried that his son would say something inappropriate when he was with Lucy Barton.

But Lucy Barton came to the banquet. There was no reason to stop Lucy Barton from talking to his son. Besides, his son would sooner or later become the leader of the Pompeii family and the next generation of knights of Pompeii. It would be better for him to get in touch with these things in advance, so as not to become a harmless canary.

"Dad, I want to talk to you about something." Before Old Sol could speak, Luther spoke first.

Old Sol nodded, put down the red wine in his hand, and said to the old guys around him: "Luther and I will go out for a while, you guys are free to do whatever you want."

The old guys were actually like a mirror in their hearts, and smiled and let Old Sol go.

So, the father and son went out of the living room together and came to Old Sol's study. The old study came to the desk and sat down, and Luther also pulled out a chair and sat in front of Old Sol.

"Dad, Lucy Barton talked to me and said something, most of which were meaningless, but I think there must be something hidden in it. Can you tell me?"

Luther first told Old Sol about his conversation with Lucy Barton word for word, and then asked sincerely for advice.

Old Sol was very satisfied after listening. This son is still very smart. Not only can he develop territory, but he also has a certain political sense.

Excellent.

Old Sol was proud for a moment, and then he said to Luther: "Your judgment is correct. The Barton family is not peaceful."

At this point, Old Sol sighed a little.

Old Sol's ambition is not as big as Luther's. He wants to develop Pompeii into a real noble. Old Sol's ability is not mediocre. Among the Pompeii family heads of all generations, he is considered to be relatively excellent.

This does not refer to Old Sol's internal affairs ability, but to Old Sol's military strength and political IQ.

Old Sol is a stereotyped father in front of Luther, but he is known for his righteousness and generosity outside. Under Baron Barton, he is a prestigious person among the knight lords.

For example, the five knight lords gathered in Pompeii Castle today, their six families have been friends for generations, and among Baron Baron's vassals, they hold together for warmth and belong to the political and military group strength under Baron Baron.

And these six family heads are actually headed by Old Sol.

Golden Lion Sol.

This is a resounding name.

But although Old Sol is excellent, his ability is not extraordinary. Under normal circumstances, he can maintain the Pompeii family from decline and cultivate qualified heirs.

Eventually, he became a mediocre member of the family cemetery.

This is fate.

If Luther, his son, had not been born. Now Old Sol does not know what kind of changes this excellent son who makes him proud will bring to the Pompeii family.

In short, Old Sol does not have the ability to make the Pompeii family stronger, but he will not make the Pompeii family weak.

No ambition.

In this way, Old Sol cherishes the current status of the Pompeii family. Isn't it good to be a vassal under Baron Barton safely?

But the key is that the Barton family is not stable.

It's very simple. Brothers fight.

Very bloody, isn't it?

The aristocratic inheritance law in this world is the eldest son inheritance system, which is recognized by the entire Kingdom of Prussia and even other kingdoms.

Anyone who challenges this system is equivalent to facing the pressure of the entire aristocracy.

Just like a commoner, it is very difficult to become an aristocrat.

The elders in the House of Nobles are not vegetarians.

But there is no absolute in the world, especially in this world of extraordinary power. The strength of the knight itself is the best knife to break this shackle.

This is the situation of the Barton family.

The contemporary Baron Barton is a relatively mediocre person, mediocre in all aspects. He gave birth to a total of three sons, illegitimate sons do not count.

Because that is not officially recognized.

He does not even have the noble surname of Barton, so he can only be regarded as an outsider.

The eldest son of Baron Baron is a mediocre person, just like Baron Baron himself. The second son is a romantic wanderer. It is said that at a young age, he has at least five or ten illegitimate children.

Compared with the two elder brothers, Lucy and Barton are outstanding.

First of all, they have a wide network of contacts.

As the third son of the little Baron Baron, he made friends outside. Lucy and Barton knew almost all the children of the 20 or 30 noble families in the province, and they had more or less friendship.

The second is strength.

This Lucy, Barton is only 20 years old this year, but he is already a mid-level knight. Of course, a mid-level knight is nothing.

Many sons of nobles with titles can become mid-level knights.

Even if they are not outstanding in talent, they can get promoted by taking potions.

But to become a mid-level knight at the age of 20, this Lucy, Barton is definitely a genius. I heard from others that this genius of the Barton family will definitely step into the advanced knight, and even have the opportunity to become a great knight.

And the great knight is already considered a big figure in the entire Prussian Kingdom.

I have never heard of a great knight born in the common people, because it is difficult for common people to get access to potions. Even if they have extraordinary talent, it is difficult to change their fate.

And a great knight, even if he is a descendant of a noble without a title, will be summoned by the royal family, given a court title, and become a great court noble.

The so-called great court noble is a class opposite to the real great noble.

They have titles and status, but no actual fiefdoms. They gather around the king and are both the king's facade and the king's sword.

Although both are vassals of the king, in the eyes of the real nobles, the court nobles are the king's wolfhounds, which are a bit annoying.

In short, the future of this Lucy, Barton is bright. But this Lucy, Barton's brain circuit is a little different. He seems to be a little reluctant to join the royal family and obtain the title.

Instead, he wants the Patton family's ancestral heritage to become a real noble.

After all, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.

A real noble, even if it is only a baron, is equivalent to a king with an independent small kingdom. Even the King of Prussia cannot treat the real nobles casually.

But to become a court noble, it depends on the king's face.

In this way, the Barton family will have a headache.

The eldest son and the third son are like fire and water in order to inherit the title.

The mediocre but legal eldest son.

The illegal but excellent third son.

The Barton family has a headache, and the Barton family's vassals, such as the knight lord family of the Pompey family, naturally suffered and were affected.

Luther, Pompey.

Look.

This is the next generation of Pompey's heir. And the head of this generation of Pompey's family, Jinsor, is the head of the Baron Baron family, the six knight lord families.

Control a political and military group.

Have bargaining chips in hand.
