Chapter 258 (1/2)

”Don't say that. I'm just managing it for you for the time being.” Sean didn't mind Rudd's anger at all.

Even if he and Lonnie combined, Sean could knock them over with one hand.

In this world, people without strength basically have no human rights - of course, for the enemy. In the eyes of the boulder family, lonnis is still very valuable. As for Rudd, who knows him.

”Temporarily?” Rudd can't believe that there are people in the world who can be so shameless.

”You see, because my army is here, the current situation in your territory is very good. There is no dispute or unrest at all.” Sean smiled, and his investigation into Rudd was indeed very detailed. ”Can you expect your family to pay for you? I'm afraid they're already arguing about the next heir Does the title your father left you seem hereditary? Since you have no children, the title can be inherited by someone who is related to you by blood. ”

Rudd was silent.

He knew that Sean was telling the truth.

Over the years, he has focused on the development of the territory, often ignoring some internal disturbing factors. Moreover, with the development of the territory, many relatives he has never heard of have constantly emerged, which makes him very worried. After all, these can be regarded as relatives. He can't deny these relatives in cold blood.

In fact, this is also because Rudd is too young, and the Michelin family is not an old aristocrat.

Many real nobles will abandon all these unhelpful relatives at the moment they embark on the road of vigorous development. At least they won't concentrate them on their own manor like Rudd. They don't even have to do anything, and they can get some money every month. His practice is harmful to any noble family, but Rudd doesn't know it.

So that now he finally wants to taste the bitter fruit - facing the betrayal and usurpation of his relatives.

For a nobleman like lonnis, losing a territory was nothing. Even if he promised Sean to take the baron to Sean on terms, the territory was still the territory of the kingdom of dabion. Although Sean has all the jurisdiction and domination of this territory, he still has to pay a certain territory tax to the kingdom of dabion according to the rules of the kingdom of dabion, and if Sean is willing, he can even take into account the empty title of a baron of the kingdom of dabion.

But for Rudd, the situation is not so easy.

This territory is his core family territory and is also a territory granted by the royal family of the kingdom of dabion. If Rudd loses this territory, he will be immediately beaten back to his original shape. In other words, he will change from a local aristocrat to an ordinary aristocrat.

Viscount, it just becomes a short title.

In the whole kingdom of dabion, there are not 100000 nobles with short titles such as Viscount, but also 40000 or 50000 nobles.

Therefore, the occupation of territory is basically two different concepts and results for Rudd and lannis.

”If you want to occupy my territory, you might as well kill me...”

”Don't say that in front of me. I really will.” Sean glanced at Rudd with a calm tone. ”Of course, we can deal with it in another way.”

Rudd closed his lips and looked all ears.

”The territory belongs to me, and you can still be your Lord Well, or to put it another way, consul. ”

Rudd's eyes widened in disbelief.

”The kingdom of dabion will not allow this to happen.” Lonnie frowned and said, ”this is just a war between our nobles, not between two countries. Even if you occupy this territory, you still have to pay taxes to the kingdom of dabion, and RUD will soon be recalled to the king's capital. It is impossible to let RUD go If you do, it's tantamount to making Rudd treason. ”

Ceding territory is a national term.

Wars like Sean, the boulder family, lonnis and Rudd are only battles at the aristocratic level, so it is impossible to cede territory. In terms of aristocracy, that is occupation. However, although it also has jurisdiction and domination equal to the whole territory, this territory still belongs to the kingdom of dabion, and the kingdom of dabion can even recover the territory through negotiation.

Of course, if the occupier wishes, he can even automatically obtain the aristocratic status of the country according to the area of the territory.

For example, if Sean really obtains these two territories from lonnis and Rudd, he can also be a Viscount of the kingdom of dabion if he wants. If the territory can be extended to the count's territory, his title will be automatically promoted to the count of the kingdom of dabion.
