"what is it?"
"The envoys of the great nobles have come, and they must tell you something."
"Is there something urgent?"
"look like.
Lin Qing simply sorted out his thoughts, and then decided to be the envoy of the nobles.
"Where's the ambassador?"
"They're waiting in the lobby."
Lin Qing let go of Leina's hand and walked towards the hall.
As he left the hall as naturally as possible, no one in the banquet hall even knew that Lord of Dao was missing~.
"I'm Aaron, under the command of Marquis Donkin."
When Lin Qing entered the hall, a middle-aged man stood up from his seat and bowed.
"Don King's subordinate?"
Lin Qing didn't say it directly, but Lin Qing had a bad feeling about Aaron.
Reina, who tried to save the refugees in the past, was exhausted in front of the mansion of Marquis Donkin and collapsed on the ground.
Precisely because of his political stance, this is understandable.
However, Lin Qing didn't like the way he treated a lovely and beautiful woman.
"What are you doing here?"
"First of all, congratulations on your victory, the Earl of the Monarch was once one of the despised imperial nobles.
"Well.……
"So, we are delighted that the great descendant of Lo, the young lord, won."
More than a month has passed since their battle with the Earl of the Monarch.
After the incident, all the little lords sent greetings one after another.
Even if he is one of the three nobles, this kind of behavior cannot be regarded as pure arrogance.
This is the act of baring aggressive fangs.
"It is an honor to be congratulated by the Marquis."
"Yes, our Lord has urged us to pass this on to you."
"A message, what would that be?"
Lin Qing could guess what was going on, but decided to keep silent, as if he didn't know.
Aaron said with a "he definitely doesn't know" expression: "The emperor will probably send a congratulatory letter to the young master, I guess."
"so?"
This seems to be related to the war.
As expected, listening to Aron's words, Rudolf the Great seems to be a very cunning and evil person.
The emperor sent the congratulatory letter, probably because of the collateral in their hands.
"He must have wanted to talk about something else."
Lin Qing just listened to his words, while Aaron continued to pass on the information he had.
"Our nobles discovered that the letter that will be sent to the young lord is to grant him the title and appoint him as the lord. However, there is another saying that if the young lord can be the leader of the army and prove his strength in the imperial army, He would be very grateful."
"That, that!" Hans, who was standing behind Lin Qing, couldn't control himself.
Young lords want to get the title of 'lord', which sounds good.
But the second half of the letter was rather troublesome.
Entering the Royal Army meant military service.
Young aristocrats must enlist in the army in order to fulfill their duties and win glory for the family. However, this is unacceptable to the Luo family.
Not because of their connection to the royal family.
Lin Qing is the sole heir of the Luo lineage.
Also, he is not married yet, Lin Qing has no offspring, and his status cannot be passed on.
And the move to let Lin Qing go to military service also seems very deliberate.
To this day, the Ba Locke Empire is frequently involved in border disputes with the Volga Republic or the Holy Arthurians.
And in times of conflict, ordinary people, as well as nobles, often died there.
In other words, they plan to eliminate Luo's only heir, and this person is Lin Qing.
"The letter said that the emperor's envoys will come directly, and it is too late to stop them now, because they may already be on their way, and they may arrive next week."
Hans clenched his hands in anger.
It took about a hundred years for the Luo people to go from stagnation to prosperity, but now they want to stop this.
Unlike Hans, Lin Qing is very calm.
"Why are you telling me such a thing?"
To Lin Qing's question, Aaron replied with a smile: "You can put your strong hand on our nobles' side, military service itself is inevitable, but we will try not to place you on the front line.
"Well, so you want me to join the nobility?"
"That's the condition, but there are other things.
"Tell me?"
"I heard that the young master is selling some of the territories that the earl earned in the war.
"So? I'm just trying to deal with areas that we can afford to take care of."
Lin Qing deliberately announced the truth of the situation.
The idea was to sell for as much as possible and, unsurprisingly, neighboring lords were bickering with other lords for the land to be sold to them.
"Please give the eastern part of the River Nair to our Marquis."
"What?!"
Hans blurted out.
To the east of the River Nair is a very large area, half of which belonged to the past earls.
**
Also, it is located on the east side of the river.
"He didn't do it directly, but he acted more like a smart theft."
Lin Qing was a little shaken, but still asked Aaron,
"Are you sure?"
"Is this land too difficult to rule? And for the territory handed over to us, we will provide you with safe military service."
Saying that, Aaron smiled.
Aaron couldn't help laughing, because he believed that Lin Qing would definitely agree to his request.
"Okay, we'll consider it and get in touch with you."
Unexpectedly, he thought Lin Qing would accept it right away, but Lin Qing delayed answering, which made the smile on Aaron's face disappear.
"My lord, time is running out, you need to think quickly and make a decision immediately...
"A blind decision is an act of folly, isn't it? Please leave now, by the way, and thank the Marquis for notifying me in advance.
That's the end of the conversation.
Lin Qing left the flustered Aaron in the hall and stepped back to the banquet hall.
"Young master, what are you going to do?"
"I have no intention of following the proposal of Marquis Donkin."
It would be better if the Marquis made a proposal to nullify the war and abandon the Earl.
Hans looked at Lin Qing and nodded, but he still couldn't help asking the young lord.
"Is there any good way to avoid military service?"
If they were too sick or wounded to fight, their military service could be delayed, or if they were lucky, they could be exempted from it.
But for the nobles, such activities were valued for the honor and dignity of the family, and such behavior was considered cowardly and shameful.
And Lin Qing's shame will be even greater, because he is a descendant of the warrior Luo.
"But since I am the young master, I need to make a realistic decision."
Lin Qing tried to sever his relationship with his ancestors.
His actions would certainly be considered defamatory.
If Lin Qing made such a decision, Hans would definitely support him.
The honor and dignity of the family would be compromised, however, this was better than risking the life of the sole heir of Narok.
"Another way? Is it necessary to think about it? If others go, I will go too."
"Huh? Are you really going too?"
"If the offspring of a brave warrior behaved like a coward, what would others think of the king?".
