Chapter 305 AFTER THE WAR

Roughly two weeks had passed since Prince Paul won the civil war of Astley, and the kingdom was currently undergoing a major amount of change, both administratively and legislatively.

Upon seeing the cold body of his eldest son, the king, Richard XV, was terribly shocked and devastated. The death of his heir greatly affected his mind and body, and the king had trouble sleeping.

Even though he wanted to avenge his death, most of his supporters lost in the war, and their powers and influence drastically dwindled as a result. There were a signature number of nobles who backed him out and either joined the other side or became neutral.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

With almost no power to uphold it, the king ultimately relinquished the throne. Due to the fact that the crown prince had died, the second prince, Prince Paul, naturally inherited the throne, and he was crowned as the new king of the Kingdom of Astley.

the majority of the nobles truly believed he was worthy of being their king. Some royalists still could not fully accept the change of regime, but they were overwhelmingly outnumbered, so they kept their grudges for themselves.

In front of the platform where the throne was situated, there was a single woman who was kneeling on both knees over a red cushion with her head lowered. The woman was none other than Mylene Raevender, the head of the Viscounty of Raevender, supported by her family, who were in the audience.

Before her was a long, golden-haired, blue-eyed middle-aged man of tall stature and prime physique. Clad with the most splendid garments and a vivid red cape ornamented with white furs, the person to whom Mylene bowed was undoubtedly the most important person in the chamber, the very emperor of the Empire of Dixon himself.

"—As stated in the reports, the Viscounty of Raevender has performed very well in the recent civil war in the Kingdom of Astley." As the emperor started his speech while standing before Mylene, he put the orichalcum ceremonial longsword over her right shoulder. The statements in the reports of the Raevender family's contribution to the revolution had been clearly delivered to the audience, so it was time for the emperor to execute his part.

"For the deeds that the Viscounty of Raevender has shown as the representative of the empire, I, Emperor Jeffrey Dixon, will grant the Raevender family their rewards. Today, I am officially granting the territory of Raevender the rank of marquisate." After taking the territories of Baron Geisler and Viscount Gespenst, the total area of the territory of Raevender had increased by more than double. With a territory that was so vast, the empire ultimately decided to grant the family the rank of marquis.

"You may raise your head."

"Thank you, Your Imperial Majesty." After Mylene raised her head, the emperor turned to his side and took the mithrill dagger from the box that the prime minister had been holding. "Hereby, I am officially granting the heads of the Raevender family the title of marquis. From this day on, you may call yourself Marchioness Mylene Raevender. By taking this dagger, the Raevender family has fully accepted the responsibility as a marquisate of the Empire of Dixon." "The family of Raevender will accept the responsibility, Your Imperial Majesty." Witnessed by the nobles of the empire, the former 306 Mary's Request

Life was like a wheel; there were times people got to the top, and some were left behind. Depending on one's efforts and some obvious and subtle factors, one could either thrive or fall. Nevertheless, there were instances where both fates coexisted. One example was the fate of the Kingdom of Astley. After the revolution, former king Richard XV was kicked off his throne, and then Prince Paul was crowned as the new king. Other than the rise of newly crowned Paul Astley, the Raevender family got their deserving rewards. From a viscounty, the Raevenders rose up to the rank of marquisate. Other than the fall of the previous king, his noble cohorts ultimately met their downfall, and the foundations their ancestors had established unfortunately collapsed as a result of their own foolishness. There were some heirs who were not as bad as their predecessors, so the king gave them chances to prove themselves and let them continue the legacy of their respective houses. Due to that, some families were spared and did not get punished.

As the houses crumbled, their members, if their lord was proven guilty, were condemned and castigated as well. A significant number of the members of the fallen nobility Viscounty of Raevender had officially been promoted to the rank of Marquisate.
