Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 142: The aftermath (2)
Magritte City, Royal Palace, Side Hall.
King Alfonso is listening to a report from the speaker of the Kingdom's Council of Nobles, the hereditary honorary duke, and his uncle.
"Your Majesty, the Earl of Stuart sent Lord Pierre Legrand to the Parliament of Nobles and submitted three investigation reports, requesting compensation from the hereditary honorary Marquis of Mavia and four other nobles and three businessmen on the grounds that she The family mage was attacked."
King Alfonso also said with a little helplessness: "I already know about this matter. It's okay for cousin Mavia to be more domineering. How can he provoke the mage? He is still the mage of Earl Stewart's family."
Even though Olivia was not wearing a mage's robe, she was wearing a mage's emblem after all, and this was specifically written into the investigation report.
So King Alfonso really couldn't figure out how his cousin dared to mess with others, because the kingdom could only handle matters involving mages impartially.
In the end, it didn't matter that he himself died, but he also brought trouble to the royal family. If he didn't handle it well, it would affect Earl Stewart's impression of him.
"Uncle, if cousin Mavia should not be like this and is a member of the royal family, just ask his family to pay five thousand gold coins as compensation. I will replenish them with two thousand gold coins privately."
"As you wish."
"The other nobles and businessmen will follow the rules and let their families pay double the fine."
"Ok."
It is not difficult to deal with such conflicts between nobles or between nobles and others. It is not difficult to compensate for the conflicts between nobles and other people. King Alfonso just took the opportunity to scrape some more gold coins from these people. After all, making money is not shabby.
After the compensation is paid, the matter will be over, and neither party will be able to use it as an argument in the future.
If you are not satisfied with the compensation, then start a war, but this is a matter between Olivia's Magna family and these nobles, and Christine is not allowed to participate. Otherwise, wouldn't it turn into a melee among the nobles if the two sides increase their stakes step by step?
This is also the reason why the hereditary honorary Marquis of Mavia was relieved when he saw Christine coming, thinking that the matter was over and the next step was the matter of compensation.
Unexpectedly, Christine had a bad temper and solved them all on the spot.
.
Manor, drawing room.
Elena came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Pierre is back."
"Invite him in."
"Your Majesty the Earl," Lord Pierre said after saluting, "I brought back compensation from the families involved in the attack on Master Olivia."
"No hurry, Elena, call Olivia."
"As ordered."
Olivia must have been frightened since this incident happened. She stayed in the manor and did not go out again, but she worked harder and harder on learning magic knowledge.
Soon people came.
"Cousin Olivia, Lord Pierre has brought back compensation."
Christine motioned to Lord Pierre to continue.
"The nobles of the Kingdom of Iberia discussed the compensation application very quickly. The compensation application was considered in just one day. The family of the hereditary honorary Marquis of Mavia sent five thousand gold coins. According to the noble practice, the amount of compensation for the slaves belongs to the principal. Half, so the families of the remaining four nobles and three merchants need to compensate a total of 17,500 gold coins."
Lord Pierre took out a piece of parchment and put it on the table and said: "But they don't have so many gold coins. They are allowed to use various materials and treasures to offset them. After the evaluation of the priest of the goddess of commerce, they can only exchange them for gold coins." More or less, here’s the list.”
Kristine turned around and asked: "Cousin Olivia, what do you think of this compensation?"
"My lord, I am very satisfied."
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the compensation to be so large, but since King Alfonso has set the amount of compensation for the Mavia family, everyone must follow the usual practice.
"That's it, you can arrange the rest."
"As ordered."
Lord Pierre said: "Mr. Olivia, according to noble practice, the Earl will take half of this compensation, but you have the right of priority."
Olivia didn't look at the list on the table and said, "I just want the gold coins."
This is the rule of the nobility. When a superior noble comes forward for a subordinate, he or she must share half of the benefits gained. After all, face is very valuable. Of course, you can also choose to ask for compensation yourself, but let’s not mention whether it can come so soon. Even if it comes, it may not be one-third of what it is now.
Later, Lord Pierre asked his attendants to bring in two boxes, one of which contained five thousand gold coins as compensation from the Mavia family, and the other contained seven thousand gold coins as compensation from other families.
Seven hundred and fifty gold coins were taken out, and the rest was compensation to Olivia.
Olivia pointed to the box containing five thousand gold coins and said to Alicia: "Miss Alicia, thank you for saving my life. This is a thank you gift for you."
This is also a rule of the nobility. Everyone must give generous rewards to the benefactor who saved their lives, regardless of their status, so that someone will come to save you when needed, even for gold coins.
With a wave of her hand, Alicia put the box containing gold coins into her "secret box".
This unexpected episode is finally over.
Lord Pierre reported again: "Your Majesty, the time for the canonization has been set, and a royal knight will come to announce it tomorrow."
"Okay, I know."
"Then I will resign."
In Christine's current position, she doesn't need to worry about anything, including the canonization matters. Lord Pierre will arrange and report them. She only needs to make her own requests.
In the afternoon, Elena came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the hereditary honorary Earl of Mikita is here to visit as promised."
"Invite him in."
After a while, Count Mikita came to the living room with a girl.
"Good afternoon, Lord Stewart."
"Good afternoon, Count Mikita."
"This is my little girl, Lucia Este."
"Salute to you, Lord Count." Lucia saluted.
She is not that old, and like Count Mikita, she has black hair, black eyes, deep eye sockets, facial features as three-dimensional as a knife and an axe, and her skin is a healthy wheat color. She is considered a beauty.
After chatting for a while about the weather, city experiences and other nonsense, Count Mikita got down to business.
"Earl Stewart, I am here to visit you in the hope that Lucia can serve as your maid."
"Count Mikita, you are very kind to your little daughter."
"She is exactly like my late wife in her youth."
"Then let her come."
"Thank you, Earl Stewart."
The eldest son of a noble inherits the title, so if other children cannot become priests or professionals, they will become ordinary civilians. Therefore, Lucia's job as a maid for a nobleman can be said to be a very honorable job, and to be a maid for Christine, Count Mikita must come forward.
