Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Although King Louis didn't like this old stubbornness from the bottom of his heart, his ancestors were the founding fathers who followed his ancestors. The old Marquis had no other problems besides being conservative, so he still had to be nice to him.

"Marquis Jorick, although not all of the Loire County is owned by the Marquis of Stewart, it is only missing one barony. You must know that she also has a count in the Kingdom of Iberia."

Marquis Jorick said firmly: "The area difference of one barony is also a difference. Besides, whether the territories of other countries count is what we are discussing. Your Majesty does not need to be so anxious. We will come up with the results of the discussion. alright."

These words made King Louis angry. How could he be anxious? As a king, he least wanted to see a real duke born in his country, but the premise is that you have a way to stop it. If you can't stop it, you might as well establish a good relationship with the other party as soon as possible.

In King Louis' view, the Marquis of Stewart had done everything he had promised him, but as a result, the things he had promised to him had not been completed yet, and the king's face was lost. To put it another way, the Marquis of Stuart acquired another county's land in order to avoid making things difficult for himself. Now he is only short of the area of ​​a barony. If he is stuck again, his face as a king will be completely lost. .

So he said seriously: "Marquis Jorick, I think there is no need to discuss this matter anymore. The difference is only the area of ​​​​one barony. I make the decision and forget it."

Marquis Jorick stiffened his neck and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Noble Convention clearly stipulates that such controversial matters should be discussed by the Noble Council."

King Louis was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he still said calmly: "Marquis Jorick, let everyone vote."

Marquis Jorick rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, how can such an important matter be decided by vote? Is it true that there are more people?"

When he said this, another hereditary honorary marquis next to him stopped and said loudly: "Marquis Jorick, what you said is wrong. If there are more people than there is truth, how can it be that there are fewer people?"

King Louis covered his face and thought: "It's over, here we go again."

The hereditary honorary Marquis who just spoke does not support Christine's promotion to Duke. He and Marquis Jorick are old enemies. As long as the other party agrees, he will definitely oppose it, and if the other party objects, he will definitely support it. It has nothing to do with it, it's purely a personal grudge.

But Marquis Jorick was right about one thing. The "Nobles' Convention" clearly stipulates that such controversial matters should be negotiated by the Nobles' Parliament. It would be fine if everyone acquiesced, but as long as there are objections, as a king, you cannot use your power to suppress others.

The two of them each represented the conservative aristocracy and the new aristocracy. Even if King Louis forced everyone to vote, it would not work as long as there were too many opponents.

.

Three days later, the Council of Nobles, the Chamber.

When King Louis came to attend the meeting again, the attendant came in and reported to the host: "The Marquis of Brady Golden, the Marquis of Stuart are here."

Hereditary Honorary Marquis Brady Golden couldn't help but look at His Majesty the King sitting at the top.

After hearing this, King Louis knew that things were going to be bad, but he couldn't turn people away, so he had to say: "Please come in, Lord Stuart."

After a while, Christine walked in, accompanied by Lord Pierre Legrand and Knight Jules Weber. She specially chose to use the teleportation circle today.

Christine saluted first and said: "Good day, Your Majesty the King."

King Louis smiled and said: "Good morning, Marquis Stuart."

Christine then saluted several dukes and accepted greetings from other nobles.

The Marquis of Golden Hereditary Glory asked: "Marquis Stewart, I wonder why you came to the House of Nobles today?"

Christine said very seriously: "The application for title promotion I sent to the Noble Council has not progressed yet, so I came here. If I have any questions, I can answer them in person."

After hearing this, some of the nobles present looked up at the ceiling, some looked down at the floor, and some carefully studied the decorations in the room.

The Marquis of Golden Hereditary Glory glanced at King Louis, and then asked: "Gentlemen, do you have any questions about the promotion of the Marquis of Stewart to the Duke? If not, it will be passed."

The hereditary honorary Marquis of Jorick stood up slowly, saluted King Louis first, and then said: "Marquis Stuart, your territory is still one barony away from the standard for promotion to a duke. We are discussing you." Should territories abroad be counted?”

Christine pretended to be surprised and asked: "Should that be counted?"

Marquis Jorick said slowly: "The results have not been discussed yet."

Kristine asked: "Then when can we discuss the results?"

Marquis Jorick spread his hands and said, "That's not clear."

Kristine's face turned cold: "Does that mean that if the results of the discussion are not reached for a day, I will not be promoted for a day."

Marquis Jorick said unhurriedly: "Marquis Stewart, young man, don't be so impatient."

Christine ignored him and faced King Louis and said: "Your Majesty, if a nobleman beats another nobleman for no reason, is it possible for the two sides to start a war in the most serious case?"

King Louis immediately understood the meaning of Christine's words and hurriedly advised: "Marquis Stuart, as the king, I still hope that the matter can be resolved through negotiation."

Christine turned to ask Marquis Jorick: "Marquis Jorick, what do you think?"

Although Marquis Jorick is old, he is not an old fool, and he naturally understands the meaning of Christine's words, but if he gives in after being threatened by a little girl not as old as his granddaughter in front of so many nobles, How can he lead conservatives in the future if he no longer needs face?

So he said in a strong tone: "Marquis Stewart, there is a legend in the Jorick family, so I don't care about the issue you are talking about."

After hearing what Marquis Jorick said, King Louis secretly said that he wanted to finish. He knew the temper of the Marquis of Stewart, and he could talk or negotiate with her no matter what. If he tried to push her against her, something would definitely happen, so he quickly shouted: "Marquis Stewart, calm down!"

However, it was already too late. A gold coin was thrown out by Christine and instantly hit Marquis Jorick in the chest. It should be said that he was merciful and was not directly beaten to death by Marquis Jorick, but the huge impact not only knocked the man to the ground but also broke a rib.

Christine raised her head and said disdainfully: "Marquis Jorick, I'm waiting for you to declare war on me. Doesn't it mean that the area of ​​​​the territory I promoted to Duke is not enough? There is also a barony in your family's name, and it should be enough. .”
