THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 98: FILA LON GERDA
Myro was a little surprised to hear the words of this woman, after all he knew the Marquis Gerda Family as a person who had lived in Azeroth Kingdom since birth.
Marquis Gerda was a family that had followed King Azeroth I, their family continued to be loyal to the king without ever betraying until now, King Azeroth V.
Therefore, even though his position was only a Marquis, but the power of Marquis Gerda was not inferior to a Duke.
The reason Marquis Gerda did not increase his position as a noble was because Marquis Gerda was a half-military noble, this meant that Marquis Gerda had the title of nobleman but also had a military post.
Though almost all the higher-ups in the Kingdom of Azeroth know that 1 person can only have 1 position, so a nobleman should not join the military or the government, a person from the military cannot be a noble or a government, and a person from the government cannot be a noble or a military.
Even so, there are some special people who can sit in 2 different positions at the same time. Those people were those who had served the Azeroth Kingdom long ago and their loyalty was trusted by the current King of Azeroth, among those special figures was Marquis Gerda who was now part of those people.
He was respected by the nobles because their families had survived as nobles for hundreds of years, even though the people in the military also respected Marquis Gerda for his courage and prowess on the battlefield. So compared to Myro who was only a new Baron, Marquis Garde was a giant figure who had survived in the Azeroth Kingdom long ago.
Myro bowed his head like a greeting from a noble "It turns out Miss Fila who has come to this region, sorry for not giving the right welcome to you. My name is Myro Aras, the Baron who controls Loth City, Vendes City and Rorec City around here. Maybe my territory is not as prosperous as the territory of the Marquis Garde family, but I hope Miss Fila is not disappointed and can do a good visit in this city".
"Baron Myro, there's no need to be too polite" Fila said with a smile "You can call me Fila, no need to use the title of miss".
"How could I call you that?" said Myro, who politely declined, "Miss Fila is from the distinguished Marquis Garde Family, I should have called you Miss".
Myro knew that nobles cared a lot for respect, rather this was what Feld taught Myro.
Different from the military or politics that attach importance to the hard work of each person, nobles attach great importance to their titles. This makes the nobility who has a lower title must respect the nobility who has a higher title, even though the person is only a child of the nobleman.
Anyone who does not respect the higher titles of nobility will become an enemy of another nobleman. Especially the old nobles who had existed since the previous kings, they greatly underestimated the likes of Myro who had just become a noble or often called a new noble.
If Myro is not interested in becoming an enemy of all nobles, then he should be respectful towards nobles who have higher titles.
"Baron Myro is too polite, I know what Baron Myro is thinking, but I will tell him now that I am different from the other noble children" Fila said politely "Baron Myro was the one who was given the title of Baron directly from the kingdom, whereas I was only a child of the Marquis which meant that I had no title whatsoever, the one who had the title was my father, not me. Therefore, Baron Myro need not be too polite towards me".
Fila slightly changed her observation of Myro, however Fila was an intelligent person so she understood the meaning of Myro's words just now.
The meaning of Myro's words was that Myro did not need to call Fila politely, so instead Fila also did not need to call Myro politely so that they were equally balanced.
Fila said with great appreciation "Since Myro has already said that, I won't refuse either. I'm sure that we can be close friends, Myro".
"I'm also happy to be friends with you" Myro said with a bright smile.
But in Myro's mind now, he had already started making judgments against Fila.
At first Myro thought that Fila was an arrogant princess, however she was the son of the family Marquis Garde who was famous as a jewel in the family. Because of this, everyone respected Fila greatly without anyone daring to disturb her, not even a prince dared to look for trouble from Fila unless they were ready to become enemies of the entire Marquis Garde Family.
In addition, there must have been many nobles, military and people from the government who respected and gave Fila many gifts in order to gain the support of Marquis Gerda. Everyone knew that as long as Fila persuaded the Marquis, Marquis Garde would definitely agree as long as Fila did not persuade him to betray the kingdom.
Therefore, for most of her life, Fila was treated as an honorable princess. It was not strange for such a living person to be arrogant, yet Myro knew that this time he was wrong.
Based on their conversation just now, Myro knew that this Fila was a smart person.
Be it her courteous attitude towards Myro who had a laceier noble title as well as her friendliness, this already showed that Fila was not as arrogant as Myro thought.
After finishing the assessment, Myro was more cautious of Fila "It seems that Fila has gone through a long and risky journey to come here, before we continue our conversation, he said, do you mind going to my villa first so you can rest? After all, you must have been tired from the trip to the Cavalry Province which was very far from the territory of this Marquis Gerda".
"If Myro doesn't mind, I'll accept the offer. It just so happened that I was in need of rest and contacted my father as well, however I had already lost all my bodyguards due to the attacks of the bandits, I have to tell my father about this matter and the kindness of Baron Myro who helped me escape the siege of the bandits" Fila said, descending from the horse-drawn carriage with his servants.
"It's not all because of my actions, the person who helped Fila escape the bandits was Falka, he was the great warrior leader beside me" Myro said, pointing towards Falka.
Myro is not a person who cares about appreciation even though the person who does such good is not himself but his followers , the person who had helped Fila was Falka so that Myro would not cover up the good that Falka had done just so that he could get an award from Fila or Marquis Gerda.
