Everyone shouted "Long live the Administrator!"
Spices are not food, but they are more precious than food. They are sold to nobles for use and are considered luxury goods. Therefore, food exchanged for 10% of the income can feed a family of several people for a year.
Listening to the cheers coming from everywhere downstairs, Marcus Ster and other members of the delegation frowned, not because of the lenient policies of White Wave Island and its love for the people, but because of the title of administrator.
This means that Whitesea Island and the unknown Blackwater Island are one and the same. They believe that Varyan Code took over Whitesea Island alone, and given the current situation of the Code family, Varyan should be directly appointed as the lord of Whitesea Island.
Could they control Brownsea Island from such a distance? After all, administrators were high-ranking servants employed by the great nobles to govern the city. The rural towns outside the city were under the charge of knights, and they should at least be knighted. Otherwise, would Varyan accept this?
If a knight is trusted by his master, the title can be passed down through generations. Appointing him as an administrator is an insult. Can Varyan accept this?
"Viscount Ster, I just went to the castle to inquire and found out that Lord Varian Code is a baron, but he is not the lord of Brownsea Island. He is just an administrator." A member of the delegation pushed the door open and said.
"Could it be an honorary noble?"
"The Codd family really knows how to have fun..."
The people in the room did not know about the separation of officialdom and nobility. In their subconscious, nobles must have fiefdoms, and administrative officers and knights all worked for the nobles to manage the fiefdoms.
Therefore, it is even more strange that Varyan is both an administrator and a noble. There are nobles serving as officials in the kingdom, but they all serve as ministers in the capital. I have never seen anyone sent to manage fiefdoms outside the capital. Isn't it just a job of snatching the feudal nobles' jobs?
"Write to Count Mido. This unorthodox behavior must be corrected. Today he dares to use administrative officials to manage the fiefdom. Tomorrow he will dare to ennoble commoners without noble blood!"
"What pretext can be used? Administrators have existed for a long time. In the past, they were used to govern the nobles' territory. This time, the fiefdom they govern is just a little far away."
Everyone felt that something was wrong with this matter, but they couldn't put their finger on what was wrong. However, the consensus was that this matter was very bad, extremely bad.
If they also have a territory far away, well, great, this idea is very creative, let's give it a try.
But the key is that they don’t have it, and their current territory is someone else’s territory that is far away and was given to them because they can’t control it.
"How about using the name of a non-royal noble privately conferred title..."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked up to see who the smart guy was. The smart guy was so scared that he shrank his neck and dared not make a sound.
The Baltic Islands nominally belonged to the Zilaner Kingdom, but on the night of the snowstorm thirteen years ago, the Zilaner royal family was massacred by the Icelandic barbarians in the north. However, there were so many deserted islands in the Baltic Islands during the era when Kanepal opened up the sea territory, so someone had to grant them the land.
With the throne vacant, the Thirteen Councils, who claimed to lead the Zilaner Kingdom into the Regency Era, were first eliminated. Regent? What a bullshit regent, a bunch of traitors.
Therefore, those who had no king to ask for titles took the land granted by foreign royal families and established territories in the Kingdom of Zilaner. For example, Viscount Marcus Ste was classified as a noble by the royal family of Tissen, and he himself was the illegitimate son of an earl of the Kingdom of Tissen.
Everyone has a dirty trick, so let's not bring up this embarrassing topic. It's better to write a letter to their boss, Earl Ash Mido, and give him a headache. That's what he does.
