Start as Inherited Baroness

Simon returned to the hall, picked up the heraldry and read it for a while.

Not long after, Kailin came to report on the collection of herbal medicines.

After Simon heard this, he praised her a few words casually, then put her on his lap and carefully taught her magic words and related knowledge...

In the afternoon, after eating some snacks, he went to the open space to practice magic, mainly spark magic and healing magic.

The two are more practical. The former saves the hard work of using flint and steel to make a fire. The latter can solve any injuries or bumps by yourself.

The day passed quickly.

In the evening, he glanced at the setting sun on the horizon, stretched, and slowly returned to the Lord's Hall.

Winnis has returned and is teaching Gurney and Kelin how to read.

"Brother~"

"Lord Baron~" they all greeted.

"Well, Gurney, go and call mother. Let's all have dinner here tonight." Simon smiled.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Genican responded with a smile and ran away like a female deer.

“I went to the forest today to have a look, and Mader had arranged for serfs to cut down the wood.

In addition, the group of mercenaries worked really hard. They had already clashed with the kobolds once and killed dozens of them. "Winice said with a smile.

"Huh? The forest is quite dangerous, so it's best not to go there often.

Let's wait until the mercenaries clear it out in a few months.

You are now the most knowledgeable person in Yongyi. It would be nice to teach Gurney, Kailin, and those few slave girls how to read when you have time. "

Simon frowned slightly, worried.

Having a beautiful daughter-in-law running around is not a worry after all.

Even if there are many guards, danger cannot be completely avoided.

"Hmm...Okay, I'll listen to you, but don't treat me like a weak woman.

In addition to being a mage, I also have the strength of a medium warrior, so self-protection is no problem. "

Winis raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled confidently.

"Haha, a middling warrior? It's not like I'm holding you down and you can't get up. There's a sky outside the sky, and there's someone outside the world..."

Simon looked at her petite look, laughed loudly, and went over to hug her slender waist.

He pressed it on the table with his backhand and raised his hand with a crisp click.

"Ah!"

After receiving the lesson, Winnie's face turned red, and she glanced at Kailin at a loss. She was ashamed and angry, but she only lightly punched Simon a few times...

This scene made Kailin extremely envious...

After a short period of fun, Gurney brought Bara.

Although she is not that old, she is an elder after all, and Simon has become much more stable and no longer plays around with the women.

Instead, he greeted and exchanged greetings with his mother. He had no feelings for her and was just fulfilling his status obligations.

It didn't take long for the maids to bring dinner to them one after another.

There were two roast chickens, a large piece of pickled venison, white bread, butter, vegetable soup, etc. It was quite rich.

After a relatively pleasant dinner, everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed.

The long night was really boring. At the beginning, Simon even practiced with the war spear for a while.

After sweating, cleaning up, and returning to the bedroom, I don’t know what happened, but I hugged Winnis on the bed again...

In this way, a few days of leisure time passed, and everything around the camp was calm.

Simon practices swordsmanship and breathing techniques every morning, reads and meditates in the morning, takes a nap at noon, inspects the territory in the afternoon, and enjoys the sunset at dusk.

When night comes, it is full of life and beauty.

Life was good and happy.

On this morning, Simon was reading the Eagle Kingdom epic in the Lord's Hall, and gained a little understanding of the kingdom's political structure.

There are currently ten regions in the kingdom, and the ones in the middle are the King's Territory, the Stream Land, and the Forest Valley Land.

To the south are the Reach and Southland.

To the north are the Boreas and the Stormlands.

To the west are West Downs and West Goedy.

Although the location of West Cedi is in the northwest, it does not seem to be close to the west, and is closer to the Forest Valley and the North Wind.

It should be considered the northern range.

And among these ten areas, except for West Sedi, there is a duke.

But the strength of the dukes varies. Some dukes can control almost all the forces under their command, but some are more miserable.

For example, in West Gedi, it is recorded in the kingdom's epic that decades ago, the head of the local duke family, Hilliviv Tariq, was killed by his count vassal.

He was killed on the frontal battlefield.

The reason for the conflict is also very speechless. The book implies that after the banquet, the Duke forcibly slept with the Count's wife without reasonable compensation.

The earl was so angry that after returning, he united more than a dozen nobles, large and small, to launch an army to attack the unscrupulous lord, and finally succeeded.

The Tariq family was not wiped out, but a large area of ​​land directly under their jurisdiction was ceded to pacify the rebels.

Seeing this, Simon thought that this was just a trick to quench his thirst. The Duke had no land and legions, and he was not as strong as the Earl.

The more powerful dukes should be the Duke Grit family of the River Bend and the Leodo family of the North Wind.

and the Lanceport family of the West Downs.

The performance of these three families in the kingdom's epic is remarkable, and they seem to have relatively high control over their vassals.

There is a precedent for mobilizing the forces under his command to launch a war.

The River Bend is relatively rich, with a large population and abundant grain and iron. Therefore, it has well-trained soldiers and sufficient food. It is the place with the strongest overall strength except for the king's territory.

The North Wind Land covers a vast area. The local residents have been fighting against orcs all year round. The martial spirit is rampant. There is no shortage of iron ore, so the combat power is outstanding.

It is almost the most capable place in the Eagle Kingdom, but it is a little short of food. The population is only a little more than half of the River Bend.

The West Hill is full of hilly terrain. The population and grain production are mediocre, but the local area is rich in gold and silver mines, and it is the largest dog family in the kingdom.

With money, everything is easy to do, so the equipment of the Lanceport Family Guard is the best in the kingdom, and mercenary groups are prevalent.

Except for these three areas, there is nothing too outstanding in other places. The local duke sometimes can't command his earls.

It is not uncommon for nobles to listen to orders but not to announcements and to pretend to obey but disobey.

After talking about these nobles, we have to mention the royal Bavarik family next.

More than two hundred years ago, they were still the dukes of the Streamland, but because the king at that time was cruel and merciless, he killed the nobles and aroused public anger.

Therefore, several dukes led the rebellion and agreed that the first one to enter the Eagle City would be the king.

After more than ten years of war, the royal family of the time, the Ekdo family, was finally defeated, and the remaining members fled by boat and went into exile overseas.

The Bavarik family of the Streamland was the first to enter the Eagle City, so they were supported as kings.

The Eagle Kingdom epic said it was beautiful, but Simon analyzed it before and after and felt that their kingship was a bit shameful.

The tough battles were fought by the Leodo family of the North Wind Land and the Grete family of the River Bay.

Several other dukes such as the Forest Valley, Storm Land, and Streamland just followed suit.

In the end, the Bavarik family of the Streamland unexpectedly stole their nest.

Because the king's territory was in the north-west direction of them, the two bordered each other and the road was smooth.

The Eagle City attack war that they were proud of should have been a bargain.

Because at the same time, wars broke out in both the north and south. One was the Battle of Bailingbao led by Beifeng.

The other was the Battle of Tear Bridge led by Hewan. Both involved a large number of elite troops of the Ekdor family.

There should not be many defenders in Eagle City, but from the book, the royal family at that time did not set up defenses against the Bavarik family.

This is a suspicious point.

It shouldn't be like this. It doesn't conform to common sense. Some key secrets must have been omitted in the Kingdom Epic.
