THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 224: GRANTING THE TITLE OF NOBLEMAN
A few days ago, Myro also finished the appointment of nobles who were his right as nobles with the title of Victory.
After thinking for several weeks, Myro finally made the decision to appoint Falka as Viscount, while Ren and Feld were chosen as Barons.
Myro's mother rejected Myro's offer to become a noble, according to him she was already very happy to live peacefully in Loth City every day.
If he becomes a noble, then there is a lot of work to be done such as cultivating territory or soldiers. Therefore, Mother Myro rejected the noble title that Myro offered.
Thinking about it, Myro chose 3 people who helped him a lot long time ago.
Myro is unlikely to give Lana or Katia a noble title, after all Lana's existence as the head of the headquarters is a big secret while Myro and Katia's relationship must also be hidden until the right time.
So Myro gives Falka who has fought bravely with him to become Count, Ren who makes the strategy so that Myro's journey to power is easier, then Feld who works hard behind the scenes.
Feld's actions were not often seen, after all he continued to be in Loth City and the surrounding region without ever joining the war.
But Feld played a major role in the development of the cities that became Myro's territory, increasing the prosperity of Myro's city, and building a government and collecting finances for Myro as well.
Even Myro could tell that he could fight with confidence without worrying about the soldiers' finances or food, the reason was none other than Feld's support.
When Myro went to war, Feld prepared all the logistical support for Myro soldiers, nor did he forget to keep the order of the population so as not to panic or chaos due to Myro's departure as the ruler of the region.
Because of all of Feld's hard work just now, Myro feels Feld is fit for the title of nobleman in exchange for all of his hard work. As Myro could raise even more nobles, then it was time for Lopen, Aclan and the others to be chosen.
Myro is now in his study accompanied by a pile of documents gathered like a mountain, Ren sits at a table beside Myro to help him finish the documents.
Looking at the endless documents, Myro closed his eyes as he sighed heavily "Since I became a Count, the pile of documents I had to work on was never ending. While Feld and other government employees worked on more paperwork to help reduce my work, in the end there was still a lot of work to do to the point of having trouble resting. Except at night, I don't have any other spare time".
Ren continued to move his stationery while smiling "Master, however you are now the ruler of more than 30 cities, every day there will always be problems in every city that makes it your duty as a ruler to solve it. Not to mention we lack servants who help master finish all the work. Based on Feld's opinion, at least 5 months before he was able to gather a new workforce and reduce all the tasks that you have. After 5 months, master definitely has plenty of free time".
The sound of knocking on the door rang out, Myro immediately said without looking at the door "You can open the door!".
The door of the room opened, Falka's figure was seen through the door and walked towards Myro respectfully "Sorry to have disturbed the master in his busy time, but I have some problems to be told to the master".
"No problem!", said Myro waving his hand "So, what's up?".
Falka took a breath before saying again "Master, you gave me the title of Viscount, yet I feel this title is too high for me. Moreover, I am only a general on the battlefield, the title of nobility is completely unsuitable for me. Maybe Feld was more suited than me, however I was not good at managing cities, managing the finances of the territory, and something the nobles often did".
Myro put down his stationery then looked at Falka with a smile "It turns out that the matter of the title of nobility, I know what you think, Falka. But I chose you not without consideration, but rather I thought carefully. I gave you 10 cities to manage as a Viscount, not that you alone should manage them. I gave you a city because every subordinate noble of the titled nobility must have a fiefdom, different from the nobility chosen by the king because they may not have a title".
"the 10 cities of Victory Province shall be your territory as Viscount, but you may let others administer them. You can choose either Feld or Ferbas to help you, while the city's advantage, except for the city's advantage to be shared with me according to the rules of the subordinate nobles, you can share it with yourself".
"Then why didn't you choose Ferbas or Feld who were able to manage directly? It's more effective" Falka said, but disagreed.
Myro shook his head slightly "Falka, what do you think of Marquis Gerda's youngest daughter, Fila Lon Gerda who ever came here? Do you still have feelings for him?".
"That-" Falka hesitated to Myro's question.
"Don't hesitate, tell me what you think!" Myro said.
"I feel Miss Fila is pretty good" said Falka telling her own opinion "But how could a person like me be with the child of the Marquis-".
Before Falka finished her words, Myro hit the table "True, that's what I meant! How could a normal person be able to be with the son of the famous Marquis Gerda of the Azeroth Kingdom? At least Fila should be with a noble figure or a high-ranking official in Azeroth Kingdom, My reason for giving you the title of Viscount is also because of that. Although the position of Viscount is not enough to make Marquis Gerda acknowledge you, at least you can still raise your title in the future. And why am I doing this? Falka, I'm not gonna lie to you. As long as you're married to Fila, Marquis Gerda's family will be a part of us".
"Grand Duke Rayde, General of the Northern Border, and General of the Southern Border, they are not enough for us to be able to compete against the other 2 princes when King Azeroth V is no more. Therefore, we must recruit as many nobles and influential officials in Azeroth Kingdom as possible before the time of the main war arrives. Falka, are you mad to know that I'm using you?".
"Master used me?" said Falka shaking her head and kneeling in front of Myro "Master, Falka has always been loyal to you so that even if I was taken advantage of though, Falka did not mind. Moreover, in Falka's eyes, master's actions helped me a lot. Without the help of master, how could Falka be able to become a great noble in Azeroth Kingdom and be with the son of a Marquis? So Falka was very grateful for the help you've given".
