queen of the empire

There are nearly 2000 candidates nominated for honors this year, so the list is very long.

It is divided into two parts in total. The first part is more important. It is the candidates for minor nobles, that is, earls, viscounts and barons. There are more than 30 people, each with detailed information. There are no candidates for the great noble dukes and marquises this year.

The other part is knight candidates. The rest of the pages are a list of candidate knights. The information is relatively brief, and only the main achievements and ages are written, such as what competitions they participated in, or what merits they have achieved. Some of them have backgrounds. Include the name of the recommender.

As for the part of the Cavaliers, Holaney looked at it relatively briefly. He selected two scientists, and also selected a well-known actor and an athlete. The rest were basically government officials, about seven or eight.

Many officials will get knighthoods before being promoted. It doesn’t sound good if an important position is given to a commoner, so the royal family awards honors to a group of middle- and lower-level officials every year. This is a prelude to promotion, but 99% of them are knights. The title, anyway, the knight cannot be hereditary, whoever it is given to, it will be taken back after death, it is an honorary title given to officials.

After reading the knight part, there are more than 30 candidates for minor nobles. More than half of the candidates are known to Holly, and many of them are his classmates or alumni who have graduated, as well as acquaintances of the families he knows. , basically the second son of the family.

Although these people applied for minor nobles, most of them applied by chance. Each application will have two options at the end, pass or reject. It doesn’t matter whether you fill in the reason if you pass.

But the refusal does not mean that this year will return without success. For example, Essie's application, he applied for the earl, and Hollini rejected it after only one glance, and wrote such a sentence in the reason box: baron.

Meaning a Baron is enough, an Earl is too much.

He was targeting Aixi a little bit. According to Aixi's special status, it is not too much to get the title of Earl, no matter how bad it is for Viscount.

Being rejected does not mean that there is no title, some are just degraded, and the reviewer will fill in the title of the favorite in the reason box, most of which are knights or something, or fill in "no qualifications for honors", that is the real one Rejected, not a single title.

Many people will apply for a relatively high title, and maybe they will pass if they are lucky.

"Casali Yarosente..." Holleini finally saw Casali's application, and after a quick scan of her personal information from beginning to end, Holene blacked out.

Who is this person?

Except for the line "Will Griffin's niece, Essie Grinfell's cousin" that was specially marked, Hollini didn't find anything special about this candidate.

If this is the real daughter of the Marquis of Will, it's okay to apply like this. Although most of them will still be rejected, maybe the members of the royal family will give it if they are in a good mood, but this is not a real daughter, but a niece!What is a knighthood? If you want it, you can do it. The entire royal family is named Greenfield, right? They are dedicated to serving the Greenfield family!

This woman named Kashali is the daughter of a baron, and she is applying for a viscount. No matter how she looks at it, Holleini thinks that the applicant has lost his mind, and the title is not Chinese cabbage. Only a few dozen lucky ones will be produced, and most of them are non-hereditary knighthoods.

That's how the royal family felt that the title was given away too much, and they would try to find a way to get it back every year. Your baron's daughter, Lion, asked for a viscount when she opened her mouth. Is this brain damage?

Hollini looked through the information carefully again, and he really didn't find anything special. He really found it unbelievable. It's not that the Marquis of Will has no other children. Why recommend his niece? Could it be that his eldest son wants to marry this man named Ka? Saree woman?This is quite possible, this kind of kissing and kissing is quite common in the noble circle.

But in this case, wouldn't it be better to directly apply for the promotion of the title of Baron Donnelly? This is much easier than applying for the title of an unmarried girl, and it sounds nice to say it.

Forget it, it's just a rejection anyway, Holaini checked the option of rejection, and then filled in the line "no qualifications for honors" in the box.

He murmured in his heart while writing, the Essie family really has a very clear brain circuit, and they can come up with any messy ideas. I never thought of directly applying for the title of Ivy!

Wait a minute, Ivy!

Hollini looked up at Ivy, who was buried in his homework. Ivy’s class in the afternoon was a literature appreciation class. Although he asked for leave and didn’t go, Timon brought back the homework assigned by the professor, saying that he was going to write A review of a masterpiece.

So Ivy was doing homework in Holeini's room, and Holeney asked people to move tables and chairs from the study, so he had to put people under his nose to watch!

"Ivy, come here." Hollini sat on the bed and waved to Ivy.

"Oh." Ivy put down his pen and ran over. Liberal arts homework is a pain. He wrote for an hour and didn't write a few lines. How will he be busy next week.

He looked a little cute when he ran over, and Holaini felt his heart melted. The little Ivy in their family really looks cuter and cuter. He will live in the same room in the future, and he is really happy just thinking about it.

"What's the matter, Your Highness, are you hungry?" Ivy looked at the time, um, it's almost time for dinner.

"No, I have something to ask you." Hollini took out Kasari's application and handed it to Ivy, "Do you know her?"

"Kashali..." Ivy glanced at the photo and name, then nodded, "Yes, she is Essie's cousin. I have seen her several times at the banquet at Essie's house."

Ivy took a closer look, and it turned out to be an application form for the title of knighthood. Aisie's cousin actually wanted to apply for the title of viscount? !Ivy was very surprised. If he remembered correctly, Kashali's father was only a baron. How could she apply for a viscount?In my impression, she is a very ordinary girl, she is just a student, she has not done anything special, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to become a Viscount.

Then Ivey found the last line written by Hollini, um, the application was rejected.

As expected.

"I remember that Essie has an older brother. Is this woman named Kashali planning to marry into the Marquis of Will's house?" Holleini asked.

"How is it possible? Ai Qi's cousin has a fiancée, the youngest daughter of Marquis Carrian, and she will get married next summer." Possibly let his eldest son marry a baron's daughter.

"That's it, that's weird." Holeini rubbed his chin and muttered, "Then why did you recommend her? Do you know the reason?"

Ivy shook his head, "I'm not sure, could it be a mistake?"

"Maybe." If you can't figure it out, don't think about it anymore. Holleny touched Ivy's hand, "She is also your relative. Will you be angry if I dismiss it?"

"It's not a gift, it's a big deal. Your Highness should be careful." Ai Wei's mind was not on this, he was struggling with how to take his hand out of Holeini's hand, how to catch this man Don't let go of your own hand!

Holaney has actually discovered Ivy's entanglement, but he continued to chat with Ivy as if he hadn't seen it, "Ivy, have you ever thought about owning a knighthood?" Holaney has seriously considered Axi's opinion , The status difference between him and Ivy is too big. If Ivy can get a not-low title, it will be much smoother in the future.

Ivy said doubtfully: "Your Highness, I have an older brother." It means that the title cannot be his.

"Of course I know you have an older brother." Holaini smiled, "I mean you regained your own title, have you ever thought about it?"

"Well... I haven't thought about it before." Ivy was a little embarrassed, "But it is indeed a happy thing to have a title, but I am sure I can't do it." He has nothing, so he is not eligible for a title.

"Why can't it work, as long as you work hard, you can do it!" Hollini felt that he had to start cultivating Ivy's self-motivation. He hoped that Ivy could be his queen, so Ivy's mentality of self-denial is really a shame. Big question, how can a person with low self-esteem be a good queen.

Ivey didn't understand why Holini was so excited, but he still nodded and said: "Well, I will work hard." It looks very sincere, but in fact it is very perfunctory. He feels that the title or something is a bit far away from him.

Of course, Holini saw that this was perfunctory, he sighed silently, it seems that he has a long way to go, let's cultivate it slowly.

……

Immediately after the list of awards was reviewed, he was sent to the palace. Holleini thought that he would have nothing to do next, but when he was about to go to bed after taking a shower at night, he received a call.

A phone call from Piram himself.

Holaini felt that he had seen a ghost, that Piram would actually call him!The two brothers had been at war for more than ten years. They would never see each other if they could not meet, and they would never chat if they could not chat. Now that Piram took the initiative to call and contact him, Holaini felt that the sun must rise on the other side tomorrow!

"Your Majesty." Holaini called out very reluctantly, "It's so late, what can you do?"

Piram on the other end of the phone could hear Hollini's impatience, and immediately felt a sense of shock, bah!Do you think I want to call you? If it wasn't for seeing your jokes, I wouldn't contact you!

Piram held back his anger and said, "I just want to ask you, is there anything wrong with your review of candidates for honors today? It's still too late to make changes. I don't think you can't accommodate it for your sake." "Since he found out that Holini was not a threat to the throne, Piram has relaxed his vigilance against Holini, and now his main strategy is to win over, and he thinks that he has done a good job and succeeded.

Holaini felt baffled, there was nothing wrong, so he replied without thinking, "No."

"Why not? Casali's share is a big problem. Don't you want to marry her? It's not that I don't agree to give it to a knight or a baron. You can just fill it in at ease." Piram felt himself The way to win people's hearts is simply leveraged.

"Huh? Tell me again, who am I going to marry?" Holini felt that there was something wrong with his ears.

Ivy, who was still doing his homework, immediately raised his ears when he heard the word "marry". He was startled. His Royal Highness is going to get married? !

"Cashali, don't hide it from me. Many people know about it. I really can't see it. You have so many noble daughters who didn't like it, but you actually fell in love with Essie's cousin. It's really annoying. Surprise, but she is indeed a beautiful and charming beauty, and she is about the same age as you." Piram smiled, "Don't worry, although your identities are very different, but if you really want to marry her, I will definitely support her. Who made you my dear brother, even if others object, I will always support you!"

Piram felt that his remarks were great, and Holleini would definitely be very moved. Maybe Gina would support him in marrying Ai Xi after her death.Well, let's get rid of Gina first!

Holaini: "..." What the hell is this person talking about?
