Warm Dragon

After Mel's cousin's wedding, Marquis Merlin also made another decision, deciding to hand over his position as Earl of Flotilla directly to Mel, bypassing his son Major Yujiuka.

Do this.

Naturally, this was to prevent his daughter-in-law, Kunna Shadowflame, from relying on her husband to inherit the position of earl, fanning the pillow and doing some mindless things.

If it is handed over directly to the grandson, and the grandson also has a daughter-in-law, he will naturally no longer listen to his mother's words, and Mrs. Kunna will lose any room for trouble.

Uncle Major didn't have much resistance.

His talent is very poor and he is just an ordinary fantasy beast knight. He has pinned his hopes on his son very early. Now that Mel has successfully ridden the dragon, he is even less likely to argue with his son and has calmly accepted the reality.

In any case, he still holds the title of viscount.

"Do a good job, inherit the title of earl, and ride a Mercedes. You have to strive to become Russell's right-hand man." Uncle Major extinguished his fantasies of stirring up trouble, and only hoped that his son could realize all this for him. .

"Father, don't worry. His Highness Luo and I have already agreed that after I finish my honeymoon, I will go to the Red Castle to help him."

Mel said: "So this family still has to be left to my father to take charge."

"Haha, don't worry about that. Your mother and I are used to farming at the mouth of the Sancha River. It will be good to do this for the rest of our lives." Uncle Major said, patting his son's strong arm, "Go and enjoy your newlywed life." hapiness."

…

After relinquishing his identity as the lord of Sanchahekou and severing his contract with the Manganese Steel Dragon, Marquis Merlin could be said to have relieved all his burdens.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the formation of the cabinet.

Compared with the glory of the Flying Dragon Knight and the authority of the Lord of Sanchahekou, it is obvious that this old man, who is nearly 60 years old, prefers the feeling of controlling the situation in the Red Castle.

"How does Your Highness define the conditions for cabinet selection?"

"Choose less dragon knights."

"Why?"

"I hope that the cabinet will concentrate on handling government affairs, and the flying dragon knights will concentrate on dealing with the battle." In the Red Castle hall, the grandfather and grandson solemnly discussed the candidates for the cabinet. "I will set up a flying dragon military advisory group outside the cabinet to specialize in fighting." One is responsible for the invasion of the snowfield.”

Marquis Merlin thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine. The flying dragon knight has to take care of both ends. It's better to concentrate on fighting."

There was a pause.

He asked again: "How will Baron Roman arrange it?"

"I will propose my father to serve as the leader of the Flying Dragon Army's advisory group." Russell smiled, "Grandpa, you will handle the government affairs for me, and my father will handle the military affairs for me, so that I can move forward boldly with confidence. "

Although he became a prince.

But Russell didn't intend to let himself get entangled in trivial matters. He also wanted to travel around the entire Longmian Continent and see different scenery in the world.

"Lord Kunbei can continue to preside over the internal affairs. He must be the chief internal affairs officer." Marquis Merlin said, "As for the Feilong Military Advisory Group, he should not participate in it. He is getting older. I am really afraid that he will be lost in the snowfield."

"Can."

"Lord Kunqiao, you can come back and continue to hold the seal. This person has been involved in general affairs for many years and has rich experience, but he needs constant encouragement." Marquis Merlin named another candidate, the former minister of the seal, who had served for several dynasties.

"Lord Kunqiao." Russell touched his chin. His biggest impression of Lord Kunqiao came from the period of Grand Duke Kunstein.

At that time, the eldest brother Roland was working as an assistant to Lord Kunqiao. The Grand Duke, Lord Kunqiao and the eldest brother Roland all slept until midnight and went to the main hall to work in the afternoon. However, during the Senate period, Lord Kunqiao was also diligent.

So after weighing it for a while, Russell nodded: "Then let him."

"The branches of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family need to be appeased. Kun Bei and Kun Qiao's entry into the pavilion can be regarded as an explanation."

"I will also confer several descendants of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family as lords later. In addition, grandpa, I am going to confer the title of baron on the little princess Kunlaya." Russell suddenly had a whim. He often has some ideas that ignore the rules. "Becoming the first baroness in the Grand Duchy."

Marquis Merlin frowned deeply: "There is no precedent."

"The new era has a new atmosphere, and I plan to liberate women's productivity in the future, so it is necessary to set an example." Russell said that once the industrial age comes, women will also become cheap labor.

His Yulong Cigar Factory is the best proof, using only female workers to roll cigarettes!

"It's still not appropriate." Marquis Merlin continued to deny, "Since the establishment of Grand Duke Quentin, our Grand Duchy has been conferring hereditary and non-replaceable titles based on military merit. Now that Kunlaya has not made any achievements, it is not appropriate to be granted the title of hereditary and non-replaceable."

There have been female lords in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame before, but the lordship is also lifelong, not hereditary.

In fact, over four hundred years after the founding of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy, there are currently only seven hereditary nobles.

Earl of Flowing Rose, Earl of Gravel, Baron of Horns, Baron of Gloom, Baron of Gold, Baron of Black Court, Baron of Swan.

"As for Swan Baron Quimbiff, he doesn't seem to be knighted because of his military exploits, but just because he is from the Shadow Flame Dragonblood family."

"But as a dragon knight, Quimbieff's military exploits are equally outstanding. Even if he is not knighted, it is almost the same."

"That's okay." Russell sighed and stopped insisting.

It was a sudden idea. When he was in the Black Fire Land, he often came up with strange ideas, but not every idea could be effective.

And since Marquis Merlin has been invited to chair the cabinet, Marquis Merlin's opinion must still be respected.

It seemed that he saw what Russell was thinking.

Marquis Merlin said: "Your Highness, you have treated Princess Anxia and Princess Kunlaya very well. Your succession was strongly advocated by His Highness Shadow Flame. Your legal basis for succession is more orthodox than any law of the Grand Duchy. You don't need to deliberately show goodwill."

After a pause, he added: "The good deeds of treating the previous dynasty well are a means for those usurpers to win back the hearts of the people. You don't need it at all."

Although the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame was established by Quentin Shadow Flame, in the final analysis, the entire country depends on the Shadow Flame Dragon.

The opinion of the Shadow Flame Dragon is a hundred times more important than the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family.

After all.

Whoever the Shadow Flame Dragon chooses is the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family. Russell's position as Grand Duke was chosen by the Shadow Flame Dragon, and he was also congratulated by the Shadow Flame Dragon when he succeeded to the throne. The legitimacy of his succession is the same as that of the founding Grand Duke.

"Well, I'm not guilty, actually. Shadow Flame forced me to be the Grand Duke." Russell said, "I just feel that the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family has been fighting for four hundred years, and I just took over openly..."

"Why does your Highness have such an idea?" Marquis Merlin laughed, "The Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family has died out, and only if your Highness succeeds to the throne can you protect the thousands of citizens of the Grand Duchy... and the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family is just a generation of dragon herders. After you succeed to the throne, you will be a member of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family!"

"Haha, anyway, I feel a little weird."

"Your Highness is too generous and kind. As long as your Highness revitalizes the Grand Duchy in the future, you will be worthy of your Highness Shadow Flame's appreciation, the trust of thousands of citizens, and the support of the nobles."

Paused.

Marquis Merlin continued, "Moreover, His Highness Shadow Flame and King Ares have said more than once that the power deep in the snowfield is accumulating and growing, and the threat of Frost is approaching at any moment. Your Highness needs to turn the tide!"

After hearing what Marquis Merlin said, Russell's expression became serious.

Looking at the sky outside the hall, he nodded in agreement: "Yes, danger will come at any time, and I am now one of the tallest people in Dragon Star. If the sky falls, King Ares will go up, and I will go up too!"
