Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave

Lesson 356: Imperial nobility - political system -

After another 10-minute break, the course resumes. This time, it was about the royal nobility.

"Now, let me get back to it. From now on, let me explain the aristocratic system in the Empire."

Having begun the description, Fine displays a single pyramid-shaped table on the projector. It was a list of the nobles of the Empire, culminating in the Emperor.

"The more you go up there, the higher your status. Now, please explain in turn. Your Majesty the Emperor is good. Listed below in turn, you will be Grand Duke, Duke, Marquis, Borderline Baron, Count, Viscount, Baron, Associate Baron, and Knight. Among these, the Grand Duke may be referred to as the two Grand Dukes of the Empire of Entesia and the Duke as the five Dukes of the Empire of Entesia. These seven houses have powers and territories far above other nobles, and hold key positions in the Empire."

Unsurprisingly, in fact, when applied to this category, not only the Ellords, who are recited as Viscounts and Barons, but also the Al's have their status as nobles. Well, they don't care about that either.

"Only a knight will be a one-generation title, with no inheritance allowed. It is not recognized if its status as a title is close to that of a formal object and if the territory is not so much owned. The point is, as a commander in the military, you're close to being given."

Fine to say so, but she's right, the title Knight is nearly meaningless in the Empire of Entesia. Because Lux, a symbol of this, showed that mindfulness is what counts.

If so, in their case, knights are close to mindsets, so they were not meaningful to the title of only name. It's just a military necessity, so it's good to be in the same position as the Special Agents and others. Well, still, being a title for once is a title, so I get a proper allowance for my salary.

"Now let me explain the difference between each nobleman. First, the biggest difference lies in the size of authority. The more authority you go up there, the more authority the Grand Duke will be allowed to march independently of the auditing army against each of the marquis. I mean, as the emperor's katana, you're obliged to oversee the tyranny of the nobles. Instead, both houses have ordered an assignment to a bureaucratic or military officer. In modern times, Army generals from the Rocos and prime ministers from the Famel family are being drained. In addition, one of the leaders of the Kingsguard Battle Maiden (Valkyria) is a child of the Locos family. Nor can the Emperor or his son-in-law be sent out of the house to avoid the concentration of power."

On the face of it, let the promising talent come from both households, but this was a hostage of good health. The emperor also had to be careful not to be eaten from the inside out, but even in both houses he equated talented people with being held hostage right on the emperor's side. If we don't deal with this, it can lead to arbitrariness and corruption.

"Consider that the privileges listed below are those normally held by more nobles. The Duke will be given the power to recommend to the Emperor the granting of titles without parliamentary approval, limited to the proprietary formulation of various disciplines with penalties and below the title of Viscount. You can also place this person like a magistrate on your territory. Especially in my Duke's house. This is flourishing. It is furthermore possible for houses above the Duke to raise against Parliament the destruction of houses below the Count. The destruction of houses above the border will require the approval of at least two-thirds of those in the Imperial Council or confirmation of the applicable penalties, but in the case of the filing of more than one Duke's house the required number will change to at least half."

It is in accordance with what Kate was able to say about Count Reames before to destroy his home. We can take more than we can be given.

Even if Kate didn't use her own prestige to root for her, it would have been easy to tear down the Duke's house if she had embraced Conne and the nobles who resented him.

"Well, next is the Borderline Uncle, the Count. They will be allowed to enact their own armaments. Proprietary armament, you may be surprised to say, but the possession of this is in fact specified in the most important part of the royalty-related laws of the Imperial Law"

Naturally, even if the first king Ixfoss spoke with his mouth and the nobles only agreed to it, it was established as a law, but that alone would not bring up future generations. For the sake of the aristocrats who will return to his descendants or be appointed, the text must be written. So naturally, various related laws are in force. In so doing, Fine reads out part of Article I.

"All the nobles of the Empire of Entesia are obliged to keep an eye on the runoff of the royal family of the Empire of Entesia and to stop the runoff. The Emperor of the Empire of Entesia is obliged to keep an eye on the outrages of the nobles under his ministry, and to punish the outrages. These are not rights. Duty."

Ixfoss, who feared his own failure above all else. That's why I dared to make it clear as a text so that I could deter myself and future generations from making mistakes. That way, even if it could be somewhat arbitrary, the checking function of keeping an eye on each other would work.

In the unculturalized promises, the more future generations, the more possibilities were fully considered for arbitrary operations by the King. That's what causes the country to rot. He wanted to do something about it. If I told Glaia, it would be the result of an idiot thinking silly.

"That said, in order to fulfill that duty, we need only the power to pull a bow against the emperor. You can possess military technology that can be concealed against the emperor to the extent appropriate to your noble status. The highest are the Grand Duke and the Duke. These two allow for the proprietary development of military airships and large magic guided armor. Unarmed civilian airships and the development of magic guided armor are at the perimeter. The Count is authorized to develop magical guidance armor. Naturally, the royal family has the right to develop all of this."

By the way, it was Fine who explained this, but in fact at the beginning there was also a difference between the Duke and the Grand Duke. But Tina's technical skills and kite's knowledge shaped the division between the Duke and the Grand Duke. As a result, it was withdrawn that it could no longer be classified.

It was only in the beginning that the Duke had medium-sized demon guidance armor, but then Tina developed demon guidance armor with flying planes. Furthermore, we will develop airships that were new fields at the time. From here, the shapeshifting began.

Even for other military technologies, the technology developed by Tina and Kate did not fall under the existing classification, and it was no longer known what classification to use, after all, that there was no difference between the military of the Duke and the Grand Duke.

Even the emperor was a little troubled, but he could not foresee and develop anything that could not be developed other than them. On the contrary, if he forbade any development, it would be contrary to the national interest, so he could not do so.

If so, it was the result of a donation from Will that he decided to withdraw the rules and let them develop freely already, and that it would be better for him to do whatever he wanted.

"So, the next Baron. They will be allowed to collect their own taxes. Even so, it's only natural but common sense stuff. For example, even though there is no sea, there is no port royalty. The Associate Baron is granted powers of appointment over territory and knighthood. Consider that the right to appoint knights is given a division of roles: Commander for titles above the Associate Baron, Commander for knights. The knight has already explained. Is this the typical authority?"

That said, Fine cuts the video of the pyramid shapes shown on the projector. And the next thing I saw was some sort of exception. What was shown there were the brave kites.

"Well, it's moved by these titles… Think of the brave Kate, Lux, Ballantine, as some kind of special frame. They made a covenant with the Great Spirit, the Great Hero. If you mean the Duke's house, only one of them has a place, Kite the Brave, but it kind of means power."

Although it is common to be close in Enefia, the Great Spirit is treated as far superior to any royal nobility in the world. All that deceitful character, but no one can actually win.

Well, even Tina, who has a cheesy fighting power, wants to fu just by putting some of her original power on the table. It would be obvious when it comes to the obvious.

"Well, as I'm sure you all know, the existence of a contractor is treated separately from the status of being episcopated by the Noble Kings. It is because the presence of this covenant is recognized and empowered by the Great Spirit. Even if you look only at something called combat power, it is a being who goes to earth for 10,000 injustices. Besides, the Great Spirits push judgment on the personality aspect. Sure, you can't have land without giving it a title unless it's more special than it's a rule, but the authority it holds is immense, you can think. Even the Grand Duchess can be regarded as an irresistible authority."

The contractor was a special kind of person. It is true that it does not possess status or power, but in fact it is a being that gathers tremendous trust and trust from the people. It was only logical not to ignore the opinions of such beings, or even the opinions of beings with great spirits in their backs, no matter how any royal nobility might be.

It was for this reason that Ballantine was an escaped slave named the former swordsman and no one could put a toy on him. No one wants to sell fights to beings recognized by the Great Spirit if they say so. I was treating it like a slave, a past I want to erase. Even selling fights to the Great Spirit is equal. Then it was a good idea not to see it anymore.

And if even slaves could have been contractors, they couldn't have had slaves anymore. In the unlikely event that a slave becomes a contractor, it is themselves who have been abused who are most likely to be directed at that power. Practical examples are already shown by Ballantine. His homeland and the nobles who held him had already perished before Ballantine signed the contract, so they would not be flipped against the flag, but they were still alive.

Everyone doesn't want to die, and they don't want to lose their status. Absolute justice exists not only from the people, but also from the royals, on the part of the contractors. I can't want any help from anyone if this happens. It was no longer better to have a slave. In that case, everyone has no choice but to free their slaves.

Fortunately, the slaves had prioritized the words of Kate, who freed themselves over resentment. Thanks to his clear statement that he would not take revenge, if not better, his safety was guaranteed. We started liberating first. These are the circumstances behind the abolition of slavery.

That's how he said it himself, and then Fine smiled a little bitterly. They're contractors, this is it. It was a matter of knowing what was going on up there.

"Well...... so to speak, you can think of Brave Kite almost as something else. Never did... Well, actually, if it's him, it's good to see that he has the authority to give orders to almost every royal nobleman. Anyway, the only thing the Great Spirit sees as reciprocity, and treats as friends. It's good to see that his words are shoulder to shoulder with those of the Great Spirit. This is... Normally, it has a tremendous power that you just can't refuse."

Fine laughs bitterly, arguing against him in front of him. Naturally, even the contractors are on par with the great spirits who have so much power. His words no longer had the power of any royal nobility, if they were spoken publicly as the brave kite. To defy Kite the Brave is to defy all the Great Spirits.

It would only be good if there were still collateral that this was recognized by the Great Spirit but therefore not abused, and they had the authority to accomplish even world conquest easily without having to be bad.

"Well, I'm a casual person because I don't care... you've wondered a few times if it would be better if you thought about your powers a little bit. Anyway, we are too strong without the power of the Great Spirit... It doesn't matter what this story is about. Excuse me. Let's get back to the original course."

Halfway stupidly, Kite stares at Fine and instantly modifies the story. This is a side road. It didn't matter in the sense of the original Imperial Course. The last thing that was shown was a room in the Imperial Castle, a room lined with many chairs and desks.

"Now, let me conclude by describing the Imperial Council. The picture is of the Imperial Council meeting room in Imperial Castle, isn't it? This is a congress where nobles gather to determine the policy of the Empire. The chancellor is His Majesty the Emperor."

Present footage together, apparently recently shot. There, the emperor Leonhardt sat on the central chair, surrounded by a number of aristocratic figures. I guess this is what the Imperial Council looks like during the meeting. This was the first time both Kate and Tina had ever seen such an objective appearance.

"That said, Your Majesty is not always here. In the case of Parliament, where His Majesty is present, it is called the previous Parliament. Nor, if you ask me, will all the nobles be present in this Parliament or not. Naturally, the nobles also run their own territory. That's why you often send someone to represent you and let them do the congress. I mean, it's more this way. I'm not free with the nobles, so I won't be in custody for a month. Parliamentary meetings are usually held during the first month of the season. 4 times a year for a total of 4 months."

Like the Japanese parliament, the parliament usually meets once every 12 months. And, naturally, there was also a parliament that would be the extraordinary parliament of the planet. This is a meeting involving the earlier < >.

"Other than that, in some emergency, a convocation may be taken from His Majesty the Emperor, and a council may be held. This one is irregular and has not been fixed for a period of time, but it's a long, few days. There are a lot of nobles here who will be joining us immediately. Though not everyone participates just because there are many. Since it is naturally urgent, there may be things that cannot be removed in time, so in such cases the nominee will still participate. Oh, this name is often found in the Imperial Capital, where they work."

As a matter of course, there is no plan to convene it urgently. There was no way for a nominee to participate. Actually, this is why Kuzha and the others refused to participate.

The kingdom of Artemisia, no matter how many protectorates on boulders, is another country, and Rion and his family are royalty there. If they say so, the Empire will take precedence over you. Unless it was obvious, but urgent, that Parliament would give priority to seeing other kings.

"Recently, the convocation was hung up on a case in Portland Emeria in which you were all involved. The agenda at that time was to check and reward Portland Emelia for the damage done in one case, and to deal with the next raid. This one is called the Emergency Parliament. There are also other parliaments where people are said to be deputies elected by the people in elections to summon their opinions and give their opinions to those of the Lordship Council. This is an institution that shares the views of the people who launched it so that the same tragedy will not happen in the future, in line with the abolition of slavery 300 years ago."

Kate is told and reminds me of the existence of Parliament, of which she was the initiator. It was originally a Japanese committee merely to get opinions, but apparently it developed after he was gone and established itself as a formal parliament with power. Thus, Fine gave a full explanation, but this one was not significantly different from Earth's system of representation.

"So, well, I don't think it's any different from Earth's Congress. Well, I referenced that on Earth, so naturally. So you can't get the right to vote unless you pay civil taxes and settle as a resident. Naturally, if you're traveling as an adventurer, you can choose politicians who move for the benefit of some other land… And, naturally, nobles don't have the right to vote or to be elected. It will lead to a concentration of power… this will be the basic political system of the Empire."

Finish a full description and Fine finishes the projector. Other than this, rules, etc. naturally exist, but only this time they are fundamental. You can't possibly understand packing it all in one go. Therefore, it was decided to stop it to the extent that it was not scarce. In that way, they held their heads filled with knowledge, and they dared not leave the workshop behind.
