Chapter 32 (2/2)
During this period, the First Prince spoke for a very long time. This Spring Celebration Ceremony banquet had directly turned into a coronation ceremony.
And Rollin had always been standing in front of the stage. He was even more dazzling than the First Prince.
Because his position had always been in front of the First Prince’s right! And there was also a beam of light shining on him.
Although this was only a ceremony, but what the First Prince said was licentious and immoral, and Rollin had been drenched in rain and dew.
Everything he said had been realized by Rollin! The only difference was that Rollin was now a Saint Magister.
By the time the banquet began, more than half of the 1,000 nobles present had already gone home to pack their things.
Because they had all been demoted to commoners!
Every year, the Marquis could receive more than 10,000 gold coins from the Empire’s treasury, and the source of these gold coins was mostly the taxes of the common people and the territories of the surrounding Earls.
And the Viscount could receive more than 1,000 gold coins from the treasury.
Only the Earls were the most miserable. Not only did they have to contribute, but they also had to pay for it.
This caused Rollin to have no choice but to complain about why the Empire had declined.
These 500 plus people had to receive how much tax from the surrounding territories every year to be able to make up for their annual remuneration!
After becoming a Duke, other than paying a specified amount of food tribute every year, they only needed to pay 30% of their annual total income.
These were all beneficial news that Rollin had learned at the banquet. There were also many drawbacks that the new Emperor did not mention.
That was, all the Dukes were under the control of the Emperor and the Senate.
Once an order was given, all the Dukes would have no one and no reason to refuse, even if it was to die!
Although they were not friendly to the Dukes, it was beneficial to the competition in the lower reaches, so that they would not remain in the same position for generations and could not be promoted.
This was the reason why many Viscounts in the Rowling Forest had been targeting the Clemente family.
Because as long as the Clemente family did not disappear from history, they would never be able to obtain this territory!
This matter quickly spread throughout the entire territory of the Kaicano Empire. The Viscounts who were originally planning to fight for the Earl position immediately had to start all over again.
They began to rush into the Imperial Capital in search of new opportunities.
The banquet at noon finally ended perfectly after the new Emperor had finished arranging everything.
Rollin stood on the platform for the entire afternoon. This made the new Emperor who had been talking behind him feel a little embarrassed.
He had pulled Rollin down from the stage at the last minute. After all, many of the Earl’s powers were not ordinary. If they suddenly rose up and hurt people, it would easily cause a huge commotion.
After Rollin came up to the stage, the situation had changed.
This was because he was the brother-in-law of the new Emperor, Jason Kaicano. Moreover, he was a top-notch Saint Magister.
As long as Rollin stood there, no one present dared to make a move.
Even a Saint Magister of the same level had to be weighed.
This was because when two Saint Magisters of the same level fought, once the battle started, it would be a life-and-death battle. Only when one side was completely dead would the battle stop.
Not only was Rollin standing at the front, but the Knight who came in later also had the strength of an intermediate-level Saint Magister.
With the cooperation of the two of them, this fake Spring Celebration Ceremony could be smoothly completed.
After the end, Rollin followed the new Emperor and his father-in-law back to the Imperial Palace.
Rollin originally planned to meet up with Delia and the others, but the new Emperor, Jason, forced him to stay and told him that there was something important to discuss.
Rollin had no choice but to give up the matter..
