The tower of rosario is only a place available for those who had voting rights in the state council.
Only some people are allowed to access the place, such as the founding family, those who own enormous wealth and million troops.
"5 years ago, the Vallua's farm had already lost its function due to the typhoon and great drought. William Vallua's tyranny is causing uprisings everywhere. I need someone who has the freedom and the reputation to govern them."
The nobles started to talk after Count Wiltro's words.
"In terms of popularity alone, there is no family like Wiltro who strives to help the poor every year."
"I'm not going to be humble. If the young people lost their faith to their lord, wouldn't they need someone who was able to quell the chaos on the estate?"
Marquis Shuheil burst into laughter.
"There have been a number of precedents in the land where the lord's family fell and the land was taken by the neighboring countries. It is my territory that is adjacent to the Vallua. I know the circumstances well so that I'll be able to govern it well."
"It's only possible if it's a small family. But Vallua is a huge manor where 33 noble families gathered. It is the national law that the manor is subject to his Majesty's decision."
"Then there is no need for us to have a meeting, it will be enough to wait for His Majesty's decision."
As the unwilling ones began to speak, someone tapped the table.
"It is the role of the 5 Dukes to convey the will of the nobility to His Majesty, no matter how the decision is made at the meeting. It is necessary to listen to the opinions of the parties."
The eyes of the nobles turned to the two sitting at the top, Duke Dubbled and Duke Marche.
The Duke of Marche put a gentle smile on his lips as usual.
"Let's listen to Duke Dubbled's thoughts."
Duke Dubbled opened his mouth as he watched the meeting with an annoyed expression.
"You're only talking about this guy or that guy or bullshit."
At that time, the whole place froze.
Theodore Dubbled slowly looked around and talked to the surprised nobles.
"Is there any one who gathered here for the people of Vallua? Everyone ran away as their eyes turned greedy."
"Please don't talk like that Duke of Dubbled! How can you say that nobles prioritize self-interest over the people waiting for relief!"
Count Wiltro lashed out at the Duke of Dubbled, but Theodore Dubbled laughed.
"Don't say that to me when you know everything."
"Lord Dubbled!"
"If you don't think so, why don't you hand over the data and property of Vallua to the Imperial Palace, and put only troublesome land of Vallua on the agenda?"
The conference hall was quiet again. Theodore, who closed his eyes, lightly rubbed his temples.
"You don't need to hide it. Afterall, we'll end up doing an auction, only the wealthiest ones could win it."
The nobles groaned, but could not refute it. As the atmosphere subsided, Theodore looked at the Duke of Marche.
"It's a fight between me and Lord Marche, so let's finish this."
"I'm in trouble. I'm a bit greedy for this."
"Why are you so greedy when you're so old? No matter what you offer, I'm going to do more."
