Heroes of Silver Moon

Valery held a family meeting, and all the retainers of the Hauk family were present.

There are seven retainers, plus his master and mistress Hina, and Simon, a total of ten people.

Valery sat at the main seat, his wife Hina and his retainers sat on both sides of the long table, and Simon sat at the end of the long table, just opposite him.

"My lords, I think you should have heard the news. The family meeting was held today just to discuss one thing. Should the heir of the Hawke family, Simon Hawke, take over the position of Lord of the Mountain Lord?" Looking at these Familiar retainers, Valéry said slowly.

Although the matter has been finalized, this meeting should still be held, which is also a respect for this group of retainers.

The retainers on both sides of the long table looked at each other, and finally the chief retainer, Xi Weier, stood up and asked, "Sorry, my lord, what are you talking about?"

They heard what Valery said clearly, but they didn't understand. What exactly does this mean?

What rumor? What heir to the Hawke family? Isn't Simon already separated from the Hawke family?

Even the hostess Xina looked at her husband in surprise, wondering if this guy had taken the wrong medicine.

Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Valery was also a little speechless. Is the news of the high mountain collar so closed? No one knew what happened in the capital.

Even he seems to have only heard gossip...

"It's like this. About a month ago, our respected Majesty the Sixteenth, canonized my eldest son Simon as the Marquis of the New French Territory and allowed him to return to the Hawke family. At the same time, His Majesty the King also approved the merger of the New French Territory and the Alpine Territory. So I want to hear, what do you guys think about this?" Valéry explained.

The retainers looked shocked: "Ah? Master Simon has become a Marquis!"

The marquis, the return to the family, and the merger of the territories, these three news made the retainers dizzy, wondering if they were still dreaming.

Hina: "..."

She really has no energy left to complain about her own son, how could she give birth to such a heaven-defying son, can't it be a fake?

"Yes, if everyone is okay, then I, Simon Hawke, will be the lord of the Alpine Lord!" Simon said with a light smile.

I always feel that what I said is a bit secondary, but in this case, he doesn't know how to say it, so let's just let it go...

"This...Master Simon, isn't it too sudden?" Xi Weier smiled wryly, and the other retainers also showed embarrassment.

"That's right, it's better for Lord Valery to be the lord. After a few years of getting to know each other well, you can be the lord again." The other retainers agreed.

It is certainly a good thing for the two territories to merge, but it is a bit difficult for them to accept a sudden change of lord, even if it is the eldest son of the current lord or the heir of the lord.

Simon crossed his hands and tapped his index fingers. He first looked at these retainers with expressions on his face, and then fixed his eyes on Xi Weier, raised his eyebrows and said: "Knight Xi Weier, I am a real Marquis conferred by the royal family. , not the young master of the Hawke family who has no title, please pay attention to your title."

Xi Weier is the chief retainer of the Hawke family, and only by taking him down can the other retainers shut up at the same time.

Hearing Simon's words, Xi Weier's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Simon in disbelief... This was not the young master Simon he was familiar with.

Simon's mother, Xina, also frowned slightly, and reprimanded: "Simon, why are you talking, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Knight Silver."

Xiver is an "old man of three dynasties" and has served three generations of lords of the Alpine Territory. Even Simon's father, Valery, was raised by him, so he has a high status in the Hawke family.

When Simon was in Alpine Castle, the old knight took good care of Simon.

Now Hina doesn't know what the **** is going on with her son to make such an intimate relationship dead.

"Mother, I know exactly what I'm doing. I don't have time to adapt to the Hawke family, and the Hawke family has no time to adapt to mine. We must make the entire Hawke family run at high speed in a short period of time!" Simon said coldly said the face.

These murderous words made the atmosphere on the conference table tense and nearly frozen, and the retainers looked at Valery for help.

But the current lord of the Hawke family looked at the ceiling as if he had nothing to do with him.

Xi Weier looked at Simon with a gloomy and terrifying face, and he was extremely depressed... How could the kind and amiable young master Simon become like this.

"Knight Xavier, do you have any further comments?" Simon looked at the old knight flatly.

Now is not the time to be gentle.

Even if it might make the old knight sad, even if he needs to apologize afterwards, but now, he must take control of the Hawke family.

"No more, Lord Simon!" Sylvia snorted angrily, almost showing his anger on his face.

He could understand Simon's change, but that didn't mean he could accept it.

"Where are the other adults?" Simon looked at the other retainers again.

Seeing Simon being so ruthless, the other six retainers fell silent.

Now, it is almost certain that Simon will be the lord, their opposition is meaningless, and there is no need to offend the new lord at this moment.

"Very good, do other people have any objections?" Simon looked at his mother Xina again. As the mistress of the Hawke family, this matter must also be approved by her.

Hina frowned and said hesitantly, "If you become the lord of the High Mountain Lord, what about your brother Christine?"

The atmosphere in the room was stagnant again. After Simon announced that he was leaving the Hawke family, although he didn't say it clearly, the Hawke family completely raised Christine as the heir of the family.

Now that the position of lord who may succeed is taken away by his brother, it is inevitable that he will feel dissatisfied.

Naturally, these retainers didn't care, but as a mother, Hina, she didn't want to see her sons fighting each other.

Simon tapped the table with his index finger, and after a moment of silence, he said: "If he is willing to leave the Hawke family, then I will cede the private lands of three towns in Xinfaling to him, and let him establish a new family;

If he is not willing to leave the Hawke family~www.readwn.com~, then I will confer on him a hereditary knighthood and entrust him with a minister of a village, which is enough for him to live in wealth. "

According to the popular enfeoffment system, a big lord like Simon can enfeoff a small lord, and he can also accept the allegiance of a small lord.

But the enfeoffment system in this world, from the perspective of Simon's history, has obviously reached the end. Although it is called enfeoffment, all countries are secretly centralizing power.

Take the current Silvermoon Kingdom as an example, the big lord can still entrust the small lords, but the small lords can no longer pledge allegiance to the big lord, and the big and small lords in the whole country can only pledge their allegiance to the king.

The enfeoffment of the private domain by the great lord also means that the entrusted person should leave the original family and establish a new family.

Hina nodded: "Then I have no objection."

Judging from the price Simon promised, he was not stingy with his younger brother, and both choices made Hina very satisfied, but then it still depends on how Christine chooses.

"So, does everyone have any opinions?"

Valery, who had been offline for a long time, finally went online at this moment. He opened his right hand and showed the two seal rings on his right hand in front of everyone.

Seeing that no one said anything, Valery raised his eyebrows and continued: "In the name of the eighteenth generation head of the Hawke family and the eighteenth generation lord of the High Mountain Territory, I canonize Simon Hawke as the tenth generation of the High Mountain Territory. Nine generations of lords!"

After speaking, he took off one of the seal rings, put it on the table, and slid it in front of Simon.

Simon was also polite, picked up the seal ring and put it on his right hand.

Two seal rings, one in the hands of Valery and the other in the hands of Simon.

This means that from now on, Valery will only be the Patriarch of the Hawke family, and the lord of the High Mountain Territory will be Simon Hawke from now on.
