Chapter 537 I am a lord in modern society (Ch 537)

When the Duke of Vespania was arrested and imprisoned, a group of people in another country across the ocean had already received the news and were holding a secret meeting.

“Our plan has failed, guys.” The blond man sitting at the head said to the others.

Someone asked: “Oh, my dear Mr. Boris, what happened?”

The blond man named Boris explained: “Our loyal partner, Duke Girard, was arrested by the princess of that country on charges of treason and is expected to be executed tomorrow.”

“Oh my god, how could this happen? Doesn’t that mean the deal between us and him is void?”

“I’m afraid so. Originally we agreed to help him become king, and he would allow us to go to that country to mine minerals. Now it seems that the person who will become king is not him, but his niece.”

“Oh, it’s not our fault. We have provided him with weapons. He was too careless.” The participant asked: “Then what should we do? Other countries will definitely be eyeing that kind of ore.”

Boris smiled to reassure everyone, “Don’t worry, we could cooperate with Mr. Girard before, and now his niece has become the queen, can’t we 27 cooperate with his niece? Johnson, tomorrow you will go to that country on behalf of the Mining Bureau to talk to Princess Mira, no, Queen Mira.”

“Okay, I’ll prepare it right away.” A short, bald man replied.

…

The next day, Princess Mira ascended the throne in the spotlight, and wore the crown to become the queen of this country. The people in the square were cheering, and Xiaolan and Mochizuki stood in the crowd, looking at Princess Mira who was high above them.

“What do you think? Are you envious?” Wangyue asked Xiaolan without blinking.

Xiaolan nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook her head, “No, no, I’m not envious at all.”

Mochizuki expressed doubt, and Xiaolan blushed and explained: “It’s true! I did envy being a princess before, but later I found that being a princess is too tiring and scary. It’s not like in fairy tales at all.”

The political struggle in the palace did not exist in Xiaolan’s princess fantasy, but it was so cruel in reality. For the throne, the brother could kill his sister, and the niece could send his uncle to the guillotine. It was terrible.

——As soon as she took office, Princess Mira, no, Queen Mira announced the punishment for Duke Girard, which was to send him to the guillotine. This was because Duke Girard killed the queen and the prince, attempted to murder the princess, and the spies found out that the Duke had hidden heavy weapons and had close contacts with a major general in the military.

Fortunately, the Duke was arrested before he could launch a rebellion, and the military leaders also responded quickly to control the major general, and the rebellion plan was in vain. However, although Duke Girard could not become king, at least he enjoyed a king-level treatment (guillotine) before his death.

Queen Mira’s cold expression made Xiaolan feel deeply in awe.

This is the real palace, the ones in fairy tales are all lies.

“Actually, there are fairy tales about this, too. Wasn’t Snow White almost killed by her mother?”

“No way, don’t talk nonsense, that’s her stepmother!” Xiaolan retorted.

“Yes, you are right, it is the stepmother.” Mochizuki originally wanted to say that in the original version, the evil queen was not the stepmother, but Snow White’s biological mother. But seeing that Xiaolan insisted that it was the stepmother, he did not explain.

As long as you are happy.

…

After Mira ascended the throne, he granted Wangyue the status of a baron as promised, and a fief of 50 square kilometers, which is about the size of a town, equivalent to dozens of villages. There is no other way, the queen’s family has no surplus food!

Wangyue was very happy. He was not as happy as he had been when he had gained ten years of life in one go. After all, land was something tangible and visible, and he had obtained it as Wangyue, so he did not need to be shy about it.

Here, Wangyue can develop his power openly!

The queen was very busy, so she sent the “Guard Commander” Kailu to take Wangyue to visit the fiefdom. Looking around, it looked like a fairy tale town, with birds singing and flowers blooming, a stream flowing slowly under a stone arch bridge, children playing by the stream, and women washing clothes.

The arrival of the convoy of Wangyue and his party attracted the attention of the townspeople, but they whispered to each other and did not dare to approach. After all, Kailu and his accompanying guards were carrying guns.

“Mr. Wangyue, this place is called Chestin Town, which means black land. It is the center of your fiefdom.”

“Chestin? What a good name!” In fact, even if it was called shredded carrot, Wangyue would still praise it as a good name. After all, it is his territory, and his territory is a good name no matter what it is called. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Xiaolan and Kogoro were also with Mochizuki. Xiaolan fell in love with this town at first sight. At the same time, he admired Mochizuki even more. Her boyfriend was a real aristocrat… This was something other girls could never dream of, right?

Kailu said: “I have already summoned the mayor here in advance, and the mayor should have also called the heads of the nearby villages.”

On the road not far away, a dozen people stood respectfully, led by a gray-haired man in his fifties. “Meet Baron Kailu.”

As these people saluted, Mochizuki realized that Kailu was also a baron. Kailu pointed at Mochizuki and introduced him, “This is the lord who will rule Chestin in the future, Baron Mochizuki.”

“Greetings, Lord.” Everyone turned to greet Wangyue and were shocked by his age. Is this the baron? So young! He looks less than 20 years old?

They tried hard to remember Wangyue’s appearance.

When Wangyue heard others call him a lord, he also had a strange sense of déjà vu: This 167 feeling is like traveling through time. Well, I have traveled through time, but now I have come to a strange country.

“Well, no need to be polite.” Wangyue asked the leading man in a serious manner: “What’s your name?”

“Your Majesty, my name is Claude, and I’m the mayor of Chestin.” The mayor was very respectful.

In this country that maintains the ancient system, the nobles are always superior to the commoners. Even if the commoner is an old man and the lord is just a child, the old man must salute the child.

Wangyue quietly asked Kailu about the situation, “Isn’t this my territory? How come there is another mayor?”

Kailu explained to him: “In Vesbania, the mayors and village chiefs are elected by the people to manage daily affairs. You can think of them as elders among the people. Although they are respected, they have no administrative power and must obey the lord in everything. If you don’t like them, you can depose them and appoint someone you like.”

“Oh, that’s not necessary.” Even if we want to do it, we have to wait until we are familiar with the situation here, replace the unqualified people and replace them with qualified people. It’s a bit too hasty to start now.

Wangyue asked in a low voice again: “What can the lord do in his own territory?”

“You can do anything as long as you don’t rebel,” Kailu replied.

Wangyue exclaimed in his heart: What a great place!
