Start as Inherited Baroness

The Golden Eagle Mansion was built very luxuriously, like a small palace, with flowers everywhere, and the outer walls were painted with gold powder.

Simon observed for a while and felt that it should be some kind of golden decorative material, not real gold.

At this time, he had already stayed in the mansion and lived with Winnies.

After removing his armor, he took a nice hot bath, and clapped for love with the people around him. Now he felt comfortable all over.

A few days passed in a flash.

Simon was asking Winnies for spell knowledge, and he didn't go out. Even the food was delivered by the servants.

But every time he would check whether it was poisonous.

It was simple. Winnies could detect the spell of poison, and it was clear at a glance after casting it.

If it was poisonous, the food would emit a foul smell in a few breaths.

So the lords usually set up a chief wizard position, mainly to ensure their personal safety.

In this world, mages do not have extraordinary powers, so the pursuit of worldly desires is also the mainstream, and marrying and having children or marrying to delay the birth of a child is common.

Simon saw that there was no movement for several days, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Is it not enough to just wait like this? I have to give some gifts?"

He thought to himself that with the endorsement of Marquis Val, he should not suffer any difficulties in this Eagle City.

With this mentality, he survived for another two days.

Just when he couldn't sit still and wanted to go out to find out some news, someone finally came to pay attention to him.

The visitor was a counselor of the Government Affairs Office, that is, an advisor and helper of the King's Hand. He brought a court tailor and drafted the style of the family emblem with Simon.

Simon didn't hesitate for long and simply made a symbol of the sun and the moon shining together.

As for the family language, he didn't bother, and wrote a line in a proper manner, "unyielding and endless".

There are many similar family languages ​​of nobles in the Eagle Kingdom, which are not noticeable at all.

After the counselor left, Simon felt relieved, and the matter was basically settled.

As expected, after waiting for a few days, he received a notice that he would go to the Golden Eagle Castle to be conferred the title the next day.

The Golden Eagle Castle was where the Bavarian royal family lived.

He took a bath that night and polished his armor to a gleaming shine.

Early the next morning, he got up, had breakfast, put on his armor, and took Aire and Sarit to the Golden Eagle Castle.

The guards here were strict. Simon could wear armor, but not swords, and his followers were not allowed to enter.

After waiting for a while, someone came out and led him in.

The Golden Eagle Castle was built more delicately, with a grayish-white color, and the carvings everywhere were also interesting.

But the area was not large. Simon roughly estimated that it was only about a hundred acres.

However, there were several secondary castles, which were also the activity areas of the royal family, so he could not see them.

Not long after, he was taken to a palace.

"Sir Simon, please wait a moment. The person who is being canonized for you this time is Prince Eldan, the heir to the kingdom."

"Okay." He nodded and waited patiently.

There were more than a dozen people in the hall, dressed differently. One of them was wearing a white robe and seemed to be a priest.

They all stood silently on both sides.

It didn't take long before a burly man came in from the side door of the back hall.

He was wearing a light yellow coat and a red cloak on the back. He looked handsome and had a few beards.

There were also more than a dozen guards and two maids beside him.

"Greetings to His Highness Eldan!" Everyone immediately saluted loudly.

Simon also hurriedly followed and bowed his head to echo.

"Are you the lucky Simon?" He said in a brisk tone, looking in a good mood. I don't know what good things happened to him.

"Reporting to His Highness, I am Simon."

Eldan smiled and didn't ask any other questions. Instead, he drew the sword from his waist with a swish.

Simon immediately knelt on one knee.

"I, Eldan Bavarik, in the name of the heir of the Eagle Kingdom, confer the title of Sir Simon Hollen as the Baron of Courage.

May the Holy Father grant you integrity..."

He placed the sword on Simon's shoulder and made a grand declaration of conferment, which was familiar to his heart.

"I, Simon Hollen, under the witness of the Holy Spirit, swear to be loyal to the great Majesty Derek Bavarik!

From now on, your will is the belief I uphold, and the direction of your sword is the direction of my progress!

I will protect this honor with my life!" Simon said loudly. This set of words was not long. He memorized it more than a dozen times and it was completely familiar.

The heir of the kingdom was only conferred on behalf of others, and his loyalty was still to the current king Derek Bavarik. This must not be wrong.

......

The ceremony ended quickly, and the crown prince left cleanly and without any drag, but he still left a word before leaving.

"Remember to hire a noble etiquette instructor, your movements are too clumsy."

"Yes!" Simon agreed loudly.

Soon the crown prince passed through the small door in the back hall and disappeared.

The entire ceremony of enthronement was extremely smooth and there were no waves.

The guide took Simon out of the Golden Eagle Castle and said, "Baron Simon, your lord's crown and baron's seal are already being made.

You need to stay in the city for a few more days, and you can do whatever you want after you get these things.

After we have selected the kingdom's tax officials and priests, we will let them go to the Courageous Territory on their own.

By the way, all nobles in Xisedi will be exempt from tax for three years, and only pay 10% of the tax in the next ten years.

In addition, the kingdom will organize a group of free people to move to Xisedi, and each noble will need to be resettled at that time, so please prepare in advance. "

Simon nodded, thanked him and led his people away.

He was a little excited in his heart. In a few months at most, he could return to the territory to be a local emperor.

It is June now, and it will be almost October when he goes back. He should be able to catch up with the sowing of rye, and it will be harvested in June or July next year.

After returning to the Golden Eagle Mansion, Simon was in a good mood and had another love affair with Winnies.

In the following days, he took his personal guards and Winnies to stroll around the city and experience the local customs and practices.

The former West Although Meng was born in the royal territory, the location of his village is relatively south, and he has never been to Eagle City.

Now that he has been officially canonized as a baron, he is not so afraid. If he assassinates a noble in the royal city, it will be a big case.

If the truth is not investigated thoroughly, even if the royal family is willing to give up, the noble elders will not give up, and they will definitely drag out a person of sufficient status to apologize.

In the history of the Eagle Kingdom, such things have rarely happened in normal times, except when the core power is transferred or the situation is turbulent.

But this is not The assassination of the nobles would not happen, but it was done very secretly, or there was a special political environment.

It can only be said that there are exceptions to everything, and the world is not static.

However, Simon was not worried. The probability of him, a small baron, being assassinated in the royal city was too low, and he was not qualified.

If he was afraid of this, he would not live.

He did not have to wait too long. On the ninth day, the lord's crown and baron's seal belonging to the Horen family of the Yongyi Territory were made.

It was delivered to him by the counselor of the government office, and there was also a family emblem.

At this point, the Hollen family was truly born. Uncle Jolen and cousin Sal had not completed all the steps before they met the Holy Spirit.

Back in the house, Simon carefully examined the Baron's seal and the Lord's crown.

Both were made of copper. The former was only three inches square and two inches high. It had the words of the Courage Territory and the emblem of the sun and moon on it.

The Lord's crown was a circle of copper rings that could be worn on the head. The front protrusion was inlaid with rubies, and on both sides of the rubies were the family emblems.
