Luther was right. Old Sol and a few old friends stayed in the small living room on the second floor, enjoying fine wine and occasionally having some dessert.

The topic was nothing more than "rebellious parties" and the like.

Life in the countryside is too boring, especially when there is nothing to do. Several knight lords are eager to go to war and have a war.

I wish the rebels would appear immediately.

Luther came to the guest room, knocked on the door, and walked in.

Old Sol glanced at his son and was about to ask about the situation. He also saw Lucy Barton going to Luther. He knew some things about the Barton family and was actually worried that his son would say something inappropriate when he was with Lucy Barton.

But Lucy and Patton were here to attend the banquet, so there was no reason to stop Lucy and Patton from talking to their son. Besides, their son would sooner or later become the leader of the Pompeii family and the next generation of knights of Pompeii. It would be better for him to be exposed to these things in advance so as not to become a harmless canary.

"Dad, I want to tell you something." Before old Saul could speak, Luther spoke first.

Old Saul nodded, put down the red wine in his hand, and said to the old friends around him: "Luther and I will go out for a while, you guys are free to do whatever you want."

The old friends actually knew what was going on and smiled as they let Old Sol go.

So, the father and son went out of the living room together and came to Old Saul's study. Old Saul came to the desk and sat down, and Luther also pulled out a chair and sat in front of Old Saul.

"Dad, Lucy Barton talked to me about something. Most of it was meaningless, but I think there must be something hidden in it. Can you tell me?"

Luther first told Old Sol every word of his conversation with Lucy and Patton, and then asked for advice sincerely.

Old Thor was very satisfied after hearing this. This son is quite smart. Not only can he develop his territory, but he also has a certain political sense.

excellent.

Old Saul was proud for a moment, and then he said to Luther: "Your judgment is correct. The Barton family is not peaceful."

At this point, Old Saul sighed a little.

Old Sol's ambition is not as big as Luther's. He wants to develop Pompeii into a real noble. Old Sol's ability is not mediocre. Among the heads of the Pompeii family, he is considered to be relatively outstanding.

This does not refer to Old Sol's domestic affairs ability, but to Old Sol's military power and political intelligence.

Old Thor is a rigid father in front of Luther, but he is known for his righteousness and generosity outside. He is a prestigious person among the knight lords below Baron Baron.

For example, the five knight lords gathered in Pompeii Castle today, their six families have been friends for generations. Among Baron Patton’s vassals, they stick together for warmth, which is the strength of the political and military group under Baron Patton.

These six family heads are actually headed by Old Thor.

Golden Lion Sol.

This is a resounding name.

However, although old Sol is excellent, his ability is not extraordinary. Under normal circumstances, he can keep the Pompeii family from decline and train qualified heirs.

Eventually became a mediocre member of the family cemetery.

This is fate.

If Luther had not been born, old Sol would not know what kind of changes this outstanding son, who made him proud, would bring to the Pompeii family.

In short, Old Thor does not have the ability to make the Pompeii family stronger, but he will not make the Pompeii family weak either.

No ambition.

In this way, Old Sol cherished the current status of the Pompeii family. Isn't it good to be a vassal of Baron Barton in peace and stability? But the key is that the Barton family is not stable.

It's simply a fight between brothers.

Isn't it ridiculous? The law of succession for nobles in this world is the primogeniture system, which is recognized by the entire Kingdom of Prussia and even other kingdoms.

Anyone who challenges this system will face the pressure of the entire aristocracy.

Just like it is very difficult for a commoner to become a noble.

Those elders in the House of Lords are no pushovers.

But there is nothing absolute in the world, especially in this world of extraordinary power. The strength of the knight itself is the best tool to break this shackle.

The contemporary Baron Barton is a relatively mediocre person, mediocre in all aspects. He has three sons in total, not counting the illegitimate children.

Because it is not officially recognized.

He doesn't even have the noble surname Patton, so he can only be considered an outsider.

Baron Barton's eldest son was a mediocre man, just like Baron Baron himself. The second son was a playboy, and it was said that he had at least five or ten illegitimate children at a young age.

Compared to his two older brothers, Lucy and Patton are outstanding.

First of all, he has a wide network of contacts.

As the third son of Baron Baron Barton, he made friends outside. Lucy and Barton knew almost all of the twenty or thirty children of noble families with real titles in the province, and they had more or less friendships.

The second is strength.

This Lucy Barton is only 20 years old this year, but he is already a mid-level knight. Of course, a mid-level knight is nothing.

Many sons of noble titles can become mid-level knights.

Even if you don't have outstanding aptitude, you can still get better by taking magic potions.

But to be able to become a mid-level knight at the age of 20, this Lucy Barton is definitely a genius. I heard from others that this genius of the Barton family will definitely step into the ranks of high-level knights, and even have the opportunity to become a great knight.

And the Grand Knight was already considered a big figure in the entire Kingdom of Prussia.

I have never heard of a great knight who was born a commoner, because it is difficult for commoners to get their hands on magic potions. Even if they have extraordinary talent, it is difficult to change their fate.

And a great knight, even if he is a descendant of a noble without a title, will be summoned by the royal family, granted a court title, and become a great noble of the court.

The so-called court nobles are a class that is opposite to the real nobles.

They have titles and status but no actual fiefdoms. They gather around the king and are both the king's facade and his sword.

Although both are vassals of the king, in the eyes of the great nobles on the ground, the great nobles in the palace are the king's wolfhounds and are a bit annoying.

All in all, the future of this Lucy Patton is bright. But this Lucy Patton's thinking is a little different. He seems to be a little reluctant to join the royal family and obtain the title.

Instead, he wanted to take over the Patton family's ancestral heritage and become a real noble.

After all, no matter how good a place is, it is not as good as your own doghouse.

Even though they were only barons, they were equivalent to kings of independent small kingdoms. Even the King of Prussia could not treat the real nobles casually.

But to become a noble in the court, one must depend on the king's mood.

This will cause a headache for the Patton family.

The eldest son and the third son are at odds with each other over the title.

A mediocre but legitimate eldest son.

Illegal but excellent three sons.

The Patton family was in trouble, and their vassals, such as the knight lord families like the Pompey family, naturally suffered as well and were affected.

Luther, Pompeii.

Look.

This is the next generation heir of the Pompeii family. The head of this generation of the Pompeii family, Jin Saul, is the head of the Baron Baron family, the six knight lord families.

Control a political and military group.

Have chips in hand.
