Start as Inherited Baroness
Chapter 209 Promotion to Noble Title
It didn't take long for Verrill to write the enfeoffment order and sign a contract of assistance with Simon.
Afterwards, they chatted for a while, and then Verrill left.
Simon read the enfeoffment order again. This time the enfeoffed son was born to him and Yaxue, and was named Dele Horun.
He sat alone and thought for a while, and after drafting some things, he went to have dinner.
Changxiang City is rich in supplies, so the food is quite good.
Sesame seeds are also abundant here, and when you grind them into paste and eat them, the aroma is overflowing.
Since there was an important meeting tomorrow, Simon went to bed early to rest after reading a book.
Nothing happened all night.
The next day, as soon as a touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, Simon put on the knight's plate armor with the help of the guards.
After another hearty breakfast, we headed towards Prince Fedi’s castle.
When Simon arrived at the conference hall, it was neither early nor late. About half of the lords were sitting in the hall.
Prince Feidi hadn't come yet, and some of the others closed their eyes to rest, while others were whispering to each other.
"Baron Simon! Come! This way!" Baron Morse from the Ancient Tree Territory greeted him.
Simon looked at him and smiled, walked over and sat down on the seat next to him.
"Brother, I'm sorry, my iron mine, Marquis Val, has given me a lot of support, so I can't cooperate with you...
However, if you want to buy iron ingots, I will definitely give you a discount..." Mers said slightly apologetically.
"Thanks a lot, brother, has your iron mine been put into production? How much can it produce in a day?
I'll book a fifty-fifty car first..." Simon smiled, with a kind attitude.
Among the current surrounding territories, only the Ancient Tree Territory has iron ore, and other areas have not yet discovered iron ore. Mers has become a hot commodity.
Moreover, the iron ingots produced by his local smelting are much cheaper than those transported by caravans from the mainland. It is best to establish a good relationship with him first.
"No problem! What a generous brother! I'll treat you to a drink later..."
The two of them chatted quietly.
As time passed, all the lords arrived before they knew it.
Prince Fedi arrived belatedly, stepping on the final timeline and arriving at the conference hall.
"Greetings to His Highness Feidi!" Everyone stood up and paid their respects.
"Sit down!" Prince Feidi walked briskly to the main seat and sat down.
Everyone took their seats again.
“The first thing at this meeting is to commend Baron Simon for his bravery.
He led his troops to annihilate bandit groups of more than a thousand people many times in Sanshan, nipping the bandits in the bud.
I decided to petition the Kingdom's Government Affairs Council to promote his title to Viscount..."
Prince Ferdy mentioned this as soon as he came up. He probably found a random reason, and he had a nose and eyes, so he looked stylish.
"Thank you, Your Highness Feidi! I will definitely serve the kingdom till my death!"
When Simon heard this, he stood up and bowed solemnly.
"You deserve this." Prince Feidi solemnly said with deep meaning in his eyes.
Mers, Verrill and other personal barons were extremely surprised. They didn't know what little trick he had done to get promoted to the title like this.
“Next, let’s talk about the focus of this meeting.
Nowadays, there are bee bandits all over the kingdom, and it is a troubled time.
In particular, the rebels and bandits in West Gedi took hundreds of thousands of people hostage and fled everywhere like locusts, destroying all life in their path.
And more than ten days ago, they also captured Iron Hammer Castle, and its leader actually proclaimed himself King Sigo..."
Prince Fedi briefly described the current situation.
Although it was not meticulous, what he said was undoubtedly true, and all the lords listened attentively.
"I have received reliable information that the Greenwood Brotherhood, a bandit in West Gedi, is about to attack West Gedi. It has been besieging the Long Narrow Fort for more than 40 days.
Everyone must understand the truth behind dying lips and cold teeth, so I decided to summon an army to assist Earl Changzhao.
Each of your barons must send no fewer than 800 troops, and each of your viscounts must send no fewer than 3,000 troops. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished by my army and deprived of his title! "
Prince Feidi was quite murderous.
There was silence in the hall, and the lords looked at each other and said yes.
Prince Ferdy looked around, and Mers and others lowered their heads and did not look at him to show their submission.
He nodded with satisfaction and announced: "Then we will gather at Sanshan Pass in one month, without any mistakes!"
"Yes! We will obey His Highness's orders!" The lords responded one after another, their voices were neither loud nor quiet, and there was no momentum.
Afterwards, Prince Fedi's political officer presided over and discussed several less important matters.
The construction of Kingdom Avenue was put on the agenda. This time, everyone did not object very much. After all, it is still necessary to have a smooth passage.
The meeting lasted for several hours, and the arrangements for the assembled troops were clearly explained.
Prince Feidi felt that the arrangements were in place, so he announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Simon stood up and walked out of the meeting hall. Verrier approached him quietly and walked beside him, like a little follower.
Just as he was about to walk out of the castle, an official suddenly came over and stopped him in a low voice.
"Viscount Simon, His Highness Feidi invites you to come over and discuss something."
"Huh? Please lead the way." Simon hesitated slightly and nodded.
"Please come this way." The official said with a respectful expression and stretched out his hand to lead the way.
"You go back first, let's go together tomorrow." Simon glanced at Verrill and said casually.
"Okay!" Willier nodded with a smile and walked away.
Simon followed the guide and walked into the castle. There were guards everywhere on the road. They had to go through many turns and climb the stairs.
Finally, they came to a study room with the door open. Prince Fedi was sitting behind the desk.
"Your Highness Fedi! Viscount Simon is here!" the guide called respectfully.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Simon immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Sit down! You handled the affairs of Sanshan Territory very well. So many nobles want you to be promoted. I can only do you a favor.
However, the higher the title, the greater the responsibility. From now on, you will be the first noble in the direct jurisdiction of the King Territory in Xisaidi." Prince Fedi stared at him and smiled.
"Your Highness, don't you know how much I weigh? It's all about the interests of the Three Mountains Territory. I was dragged into it by them.
When I go back, I will confer the title of 21 barons, and then prepare for war. I am really limited in my ability. I am afraid that I will be exhausted..." Simon said with a wry smile.
"Hehe, you don't have to show weakness here. There is no knight as young as you in the kingdom.
I am now 28 years old. Although I am also a bronze knight, I have taken three doses of life potion before. My talent in this aspect is far inferior to yours!"
Prince Feddy's face was slightly cold, and he shook his head and smiled.
"Uh... It's just luck, it's just luck." Simon smiled embarrassedly, not knowing what to say.
"I also cherish talents. You should not have received orthodox knight training, right?
Recently, I will open a knight academy in Changxiang City. I want to invite you to be the vice president, just to make up for your missing knowledge..."
