Chapter 222

Brinor Cathedral stands high in the central square of the noble district. It is the most solemn, gorgeous and tallest building in the king's capital, symbolizing the supreme status of the Lord of glory. On the other side of the central square, there is a 12 meter high three storey building opposite the towering cathedral. The gap between them is like giants and dwarfs. However, this humble building is the Senate, the highest authority of the Gambis kingdom.

In the enfeoffment Kingdom, the king has the highest status and power, but it is also restricted by the Senate. The official decrees, war decrees, exile decrees, execution decrees, and even the change of the heir to the throne issued by the king must be voted by the Senate before they can be implemented. The Senate represents the will of all lords in the kingdom. It is impossible for the royal family to do whatever they want and damage the fundamental interests of the Lord group. However, the Senate has only the right to vote, not the executive power.

In order to show justice, royal families generally do not directly occupy seats in the Senate. They often occupy dominant seats through court nobles. There are nine seats in the Senate of Gambis, four of which are held by the court nobles representing the Augusts. The remaining five seats are the eastern Lord Joshua family, the central and southern Lord Wellington family, the southern Lord SoLIM family, the Western Lord Nim family and the human machulinyork family. These families represent different lords, and the central and northern parts of the kingdom are the direct territories of the augustian family.

Under normal circumstances, the heads of the major lords' families usually stay in their respective spheres of influence and preside over territory and family affairs. Only when major events happen in the Kingdom, they will personally attend the meeting of the Senate and strive for their own interests. For minor matters that do not involve the fundamental interests of the family, the representatives of the major families stationed in the capital can vote in the Senate. For example, viscount Randall shot the great Knight Austin in the family showdown.

Whether it is a small matter or a major event, as long as the Senate is disturbed, it itself represents a decisive influence. From the moment Victor entered the Senate, his strength, power and status have been recognized by the top nobles in Gambis. His deeds will become the talk of the royal nobles. This time, they are no longer talking about handsome men's pets, but powerful popular shooters.

The setting sun slanted, and the afterglow of the setting sun pulled out a long shadow of brinor Cathedral, facing the Senate door.

When Victor walked out of the Senate, he saw at the first sight that the silver clad cathedral was like an exquisite oil painting against the gorgeous sunset. On the central square with snow and fog rising, the dusk is like smoke and clouds, ethereal and looming. The Senate looked particularly shabby in this beautiful scenery.

The little Baron never understood why the Senate in charge of the kingdom was so simple? At the moment, Victor stood outside the Senate, facing the cathedral, and realized the reason.

The Senate is built of green brick, thin and low-key. When the heads of families gather together, they can immediately break down the walls and escape into the Cathedral for shelter in case of changes.

This is the relationship between the Lords of the Kingdom, unity and cooperation, and mutual vigilance. This also shows that although the nobles had no devotion to the Lord of glory, they trusted the Church of glory very much. It can be seen that the wisdom and strong self-restraint of the early Pope in establishing the glorious code not only firmly controlled the lower class civilians of human society, but also won the trust of human high-end force groups. This transcendent status is the reason why the church can not stand down.

The afterglow of the sunset shone on Victor, but the shadow of the church hung over his heart. Victor's big army strategy and free civil and Commercial Association strategy are all based on attracting the bottom civilians, which is no less than moving the cheese of the church. On this issue, Victor had no way to compromise with the church. He needed the people and mercenaries under his command to be completely loyal to himself, such as being instructed by his arm, rather than changing his flag and dispersing in a crowd under the influence of the church.

To achieve this, we must re-establish a new interest distribution system and administrative system. Victor has not yet found a solution to the contradiction between this new system and such a deep-rooted behemoth as the church.

Fortunately, when the major forces are busy competing for power and profit, no one can think of a small Lord with a shallow foundation who is planning how to dig the corner of the church.

The sweet and soft body leaned over from behind and pulled Victor's thoughts back to reality.

"Honey, we're all right." Judy took Victor's arm and said happily.

Victor smiled. The Senate's inquiry was just a formality, and the result of the inquiry was doomed from the beginning.

Austin attempted to murder the family heirs, invade the RAND collar and slander the reputation of viscount Randall. In the process of defending the territory, viscount Randall destroyed the enemy and shot the culprit. His behavior was legitimate. Mrs Judy as primo The guardian of Buryat, who supervises the affairs of Buryat, and is loyal to the royal family on behalf of the heirs of Buryat family. This conclusion was unanimously approved by nine seats in the Senate.

Interestingly, the decree that knights in the kingdom of Gambis should not kill each other was passed by a unanimous vote. However, the Senate did not explicitly prohibit the knight duel and family duel, which was not only out of respect for the knight tradition and the praise of the spirit of martial courage, but also the attitude of the church.

It doesn't matter if you beat your knights to Knights and vassals to vassals, but you can't lead civilians to be buried. Well, Knight duel and family duel are very good traditions.

In fact, the Senate's ban can not completely solve the problem. Knight private struggle has always existed, but it has changed from light to dark. When the two families have irreconcilable contradictions, the secret struggle will be inevitable. Both sides will dress up as bandits and attack each other's territory. If they encounter in the wild, it will be a small-scale family duel.

In order to inherit the territory, Austin disguised himself to invade Randall's collar, brazenly killed the patrolling guards, but was caught. This cannot be tolerated by Victor, who has a shallow foundation and is eager to unite people. Austin would have been buried in the wilderness if the king's tax official had not happened to meet. It is not uncommon for such things to happen from time to time in the human kingdom.

In the final analysis, the brave win when they meet on a narrow road. How can the Kingdom destroy a powerful silver marksman for the dead knight? Besides, Victor's backer is very hard, very hard!

The consequences are not so serious, but the impact and changes are far-reaching. Like Victor, the royal family should also maintain its own authority. In the face of the fierce York family, an open compromise is likely to have an avalanche effect, just like the original three eastern provinces. Roland took advantage of the situation, not only skillfully resolved the crisis, but also changed the political situation of Gambis's internal struggle.

Victor has arrived in Wangdu for more than 20 days. Seeing that the water season is almost over, the Senate has not summoned him because everyone is waiting for Prince Edward's return. This morning, Victor received a notice of inquiry from the Senate. He knew that Edward had returned. The return of the little prince marked a new situation for Gambis. Prince Edward will inherit the throne, Duke Williams will be the Regent, and the garrison of the York family will no longer seek internal expansion, which is in the interests of all lords. Naturally, the Senate will not embarrass victor. It is also the meaning of the question to pass it unanimously.

Judy couldn't think so much. She stared at Victor's exquisite side face, and her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness.

From the moment she stepped out of the Senate, Judy became the real aristocrat of Gambis. The Buryat family is weak, but after all, it is a lord family inherited for more than 200 years. It has a solid Yeliu City, five family knights, 27 trainee knights, tens of thousands of collar people, and countless farmland and pastures. Now, these human and material resources will be used by her. The family Knights will kneel to her. She has become the actual power of Buryat.

Judy never had the idea of leading the whole family, but which noble lady doesn't like fame, wealth and power? Besides, she has no choice.

Austin's story makes Judy understand that cowardice and concession will only lead to greater misfortune when competing for the inheritance of the family. She is also very clear that primo is not the only blood of the Buryat family, and there is no lack of ambition everywhere. If you want to sit on the throne of the Lord, you must firmly tie the man in front of you.

In Judy's heart, Victor is the hero who saved their mother and son from danger. He not only defeated the ferocious Austin, but also gave the Buryat family the greatest autonomy. Moreover, Victor is young and handsome, noble in blood, and all kinds of gentle means are always fascinating and difficult to control. Judy couldn't help being jealous at the thought that the Elena sisters could accompany Victor every day.

"Victor, tonight... Go to my place. I've prepared a dinner for you." Judy whispered in Victor's ear in a very gentle voice.

Right is the best aphrodisiac for a noble lady. This sentence also applies to Judy. At the moment, she tightly holds Victor's arm. Her snow cheeks are crimson, her red lips are slightly opened, her full chest fluctuates gently with Rulan's breath, and the honey of spring almost flows out of her watery eyes. The soft and graceful style is intoxicating.

Victor smiled. He really wanted to talk to Judy about something. Just about to promise, an untimely voice sounded behind him.

"Victor."
