Tome of Blood

In the feudal era, there are generally two situations in the succession of territories after the extinction of nobles.

One situation is that the territory is directly taken back by the lord, and becomes the territory directly under the lord's jurisdiction or entrusted to other nobles.

This kind of situation is not particularly common, and it is common when the lord is strong or the family with no heirs has no marriage or collateral branch.

And the other is the vast majority of cases, that is, after some open and secret fighting, the territory is inherited by the married family or collateral branch family of the extinct family with certain inheritance rights.

The same is true of the world of Myria.

Not only that, because there is extraordinary power in the world of Miria, and the marriage between extraordinary people can increase the probability of awakening extraordinary power in the offspring, so the marriage between nobles in this world is more frequent.

Take the Castel family as an example. If you really want to track it down, almost the entire Duchy of Boulder, and even some other noble families in the Crescent Kingdom outside the Duchy of Boulder, have married Castel. distant or near relatives.

In other words, if Charlotte hiccups, families outside the Duchy of Boulder and even the Duchy with weak claims on the inheritance of the Earl of Castel will be caught.

Of course, where there is a claim, there is a ranking.

And among all the succession rankings, the Boulder family, which is both the lord and the main family, and also married in the previous generation, is well-deserved number one.

Others have weak claims at most, but what the Bold family got is a strong claim, or even direct successors.

In other words, once something happened to Charlotte, the Earl of Castel would almost certainly return to the Duke's Mansion.

Charlotte, who had already supplemented the noble knowledge of this world, quickly figured out all these ways.

"How did the assassin's weapon come in?"

She thought for a while and asked again.

This time, Quasimodo looked at the black cat Niss, and Niss let out a hey and said:

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

"Temporary attachment? Is there a transcendent behind him?"

Charlotte's heart twitched slightly.

"Yeah, meow, but he refuses to say it, or he can't say it. He should have been casted with a mental forgetting spell. He just remembers that he has a weapon that can be hidden."

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

Nice licked his paw and said.

"But if we continue to track it down, we can still track it down to the Duke's Mansion, right?"

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

Nice heyed twice, which was regarded as acquiescing, and it was obvious that "evidence" had been found.

"A fool who is overwhelmed and is being used as a gun!"

Charlotte's eyes turned cold, and he added a new label to the assassin.

Obviously, this is another planting.

Indeed, from the perspective of succession, if anyone wants Charlotte to die more, it is undoubtedly the Duke of Bold.

Such framing is also easier to be believed by the public.

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

Nobles have noble rules, and following the rules is the most important thing for all Myria nobles.

In Game of Thrones, a lot of filth can be hidden in the dark, but it cannot be put on the bright side.

If the Duke of Bold did assassinate her and it came out, he would be charged with murder.

This is no ordinary murder.

As beneficiaries of the supernatural system of rule, the nobles of Myria are privileged.

The Holy Royal Court and the founding emperor of the Unet Empire, Charlemagne I, who established the current political structure of Myria, once signed a "Holy Code", which clearly stipulated the various rights and obligations of nobles.

And murdering nobles, even low-ranking nobles, is not allowed in the political circle of the Miriam world.

Even the Holy Royal Court regards this as a crime, and even has the right to excommunicate the murderer and directly excommunicate him!

The power of the king is granted by god, and the power of the king comes from the power of the gods, and the same is true for the nobles' control over the land.

At that time, it will be lively.

Once excommunicated, the Duke of Bold's control over the territory and even its legitimacy will be weakened.

At that time, the inheritance rights of the Earl of Castel will definitely not be obtained, and the vassal nobles may also take the opportunity to make troubles.

Everyone is not a fool, everyone is staring at the Duke's mansion.

It is not so easy to be the boss under the feudal system. The vassal nobles are all human beings, fishing in troubled waters, stealing and cheating, cheating and cheating... playing thieves.

Even the Castel family, praised by the Duke of Bold as the humerus of the principality, used to fabricate accounts to lower the apparent income of the territory, thereby reducing the contract tax paid.

Not to mention other families.

Most of the vassal nobles up and down in Boulder actually wished that the Duke's Palace would weaken immediately, so that they could sit down and raise prices to reduce the contract tax and levy ratio in their vassal contracts.

When that time really comes, I am afraid that even the other lords and even the royal family of the New Moon Kingdom will be ready to move.

Presumably, the King of the New Moon will not miss this good opportunity, and will definitely use this as an excuse to weaken the Bold family, and even take back part of the duke's direct territory.

Centralization has always been the dream of every feudal monarch.

So... as long as the Duke of Bold is not stupid, it is impossible to assassinate Charlotte.

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

Not to mention that this is the worst method.

Thinking in another way, if Charlotte herself is the Duke of Bold, wouldn't it be good if she fell into a horse accident after the marriage?

Even if he didn't fall off the horse, he would give birth to an heir named Boulder!

It's not like the Duke's family doesn't have... Fuck!

As if thinking of something, Charlotte suddenly shivered, and his face was a little ugly.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of the rumors about those believers running trains with bad mouths when she was in the church hospital.

"Quasimodo, the duke invited me to the banquet a week later, and reminded me that it is related to the future of the Castel family. What do you mean...?"

she asked, taking a deep breath.

"Is it related to the future of the family?"

Quasimodo was stunned for a moment, with a dazed look on his face.

Seeing his ababa expression, Charlotte knew that although his old servant was loyal, his political acumen might be almost zero.

"You said... the Duke's Mansion doesn't want to marry me, does it?"

Charlotte spoke out her guess.

Quasimodo frowned:

"Marriage? But the Duke doesn't have male inheritance... Wait! That illegitimate child?!"

He suddenly widened his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Charlotte saw that her old servant became angry like an old hen guarding her cubs, and her beard fluttered with anger:

"Dream! This is a dream!"

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

Charlotte is taken aback by Quasimodo's reaction.

At this moment, the always docile old servant started to curse like a powder keg on fire, and greeted the Duke's house from top to bottom, even if it was just a guess made by Charlotte.

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

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

The status of an illegitimate child of a nobleman in this world is quite low.

Not only does he have no inheritance rights, but he is also at the bottom of the chain of contempt for nobles.

No wonder Quasimodo was so angry. Even if he was the son of a duke, the status of an illegitimate son determined that Leno's status in the aristocratic circle was not even as good as that of a baron at the bottom.

At most, that is, relying on extraordinary strength to be equivalent to a knight, or a knight with stains.

However, Quasimodo's reaction also made Charlotte feel relieved.

Even her own servants are so angry, so if the duke proposes marriage, she can completely refuse with the honor of the family.

Quasimodo cursed for a long time.

While cursing and cursing, he seemed to be tired of cursing, and seemed to remember something, he suddenly stopped and asked:

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

"Twenty years old, it seems to be the second level of Silver Moon."

Charlotte picked up the goblet, put it gracefully into her mouth, and said.

"Twenty years old? Silver Moon Level 2?!"

Quasimodo's eyes lit up instantly.

He stood up and pressed the table excitedly:

"Master! We must take him down! We must find a way to take him down!"

"puff……"

Charlotte choked and sprayed Quasimodo's face with milk.

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

"Second Level Silver Moon! He is Second Level Silver Moon! Such a young Second Level Silver Moon!"

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

"By combining with him, the family will have one more strong support, and it will be a strong support with unlimited potential!"

"Strength can smooth out stains, plus illegitimate children can't inherit the territory, they have to marry, our Castel family can definitely continue the bloodline!"

"Not to mention that you have awakened the power of your bloodline today, and it is still so powerful. With the combination of the strong...you will definitely be able to give birth to an even stronger heir!"

"I got a strong support from the second level of Silver Moon in vain, and continued a strong bloodline..."

"Master! This is a great thing!"

Looking at Quasimodo, who was getting more and more excited as he talked, Charlotte's face completely darkened.

She wished she could pick up the goblet and smash it down on the other's shiny forehead.

It's your business!
