Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 369: Can Lowry still care about you?

Generally speaking, Travis wouldn't bother with these idiots who he thought were brainless and incompetent.

But he was really angry that time.

He even ordered that Lady Hisar and her son were no longer allowed to enter the palace.

She even said directly and firmly that she didn't want any news about her and her child to appear in front of him.

This is arguably the most terrible outcome for members of the royal family.

This was no longer just a minor matter of embarrassment, but an expulsion initiated by the king.

Even though she was still a member of the royal family and had a noble title, no noble would dare to contact them until the king brought it up again.

However, Arsalan really didn't expect that from that time on, Travis had already decided to send this family out of the palace area completely.

No wonder he started repairing the dragon nest for Ruth Kania for no apparent reason.

Moreover, it is estimated that according to Lady Hisar's own request, her youngest son was given the same treatment as Leon, or even better: although he was only a court earl, he was given a mansion equivalent to that of an earl of a territory for free.

Leon built his castle with his own money.

Moreover, this is a big house in the inner city area of the royal capital!
Other nobles did not have this treatment. They had nothing except the land, and they built their own houses.

Arsalan was well aware of the various treatments given to the nobles, so he reacted immediately when he saw the complex of buildings that Travis pointed out.

Although Travis did give up on the mother and son completely, he didn't go too far for the sake of his son.

It's just that their royal privileges were completely deprived.

Royal family members who are not dukes and their descendants will no longer receive royal allowances.

Of course, this doesn't mean they get nothing.

The royal family’s exclusive financial department will calculate the total centenary allowance of those who originally belonged to the royal family, and then double it and pay it to them... as severance pay.

This is not a small amount of money.

As for the rest, it depends on whether His Majesty the King intends to give more.

However, it is rare for a member of the royal family to be sent out with such courtesy.

Just like Arsalan, he is still a prince in name only, but with the title of Duke So-and-so attached.

This is the proper royal family division and succession.

When Travis abdicates, his sons will basically be like Arsalan, with a duke title that no one can understand and who knows how it was made up, and receive royal allowances for life.

The title of Duke can be passed down from generation to generation, but the other children will have to find their own way, after all, their surnames will become the huge Duke's name from then on.

However, even if they have no ability at all, as long as they are professionals, even if they are apprentices, they can have corresponding court titles.

Professionals can usually get the title of earl, but apprentices can only get the title of baron.

This choice is not gender specific.

The reason why court titles can be conferred at will and the territorial nobles and ministers do not care is because the title allowances of these people are paid from the palace treasury.

The military nobles and the territorial nobles received money from the national treasury.

It sounds like there is no difference. After all, the royal family is closely related to the country, and they prosper together.

However, the emergence of the Ice Kingdom told everyone that they would not suffer together.

The treasury is such that the king and the royal family members cannot see a dime.

The palace treasury naturally has to have income in order to support more people.

Even if you don't have a business sense, you still have to mine more.

The poor king didn't even dare to have more children.

The North is already doing pretty well. The King can have more children like the nobles to ensure that his rule will not fall into the hands of other branches. He is not afraid of bankruptcy due to too many members receiving royal subsidies.

As far as Arsalan knows, the Kingdom of the North is the only country where the throne has been stably passed down by the legitimate heir since its birth.

Even though the White Dragon King almost wore the crown himself, he was indeed first in the line of succession to the throne.

There has never been a situation where there is no one in the first sequence and the second sequence takes over.

Travis dared to have so many children and was able to raise them all. He didn't even expel his uncles and brothers from the royal family in disguise. This made monarchs of countless countries secretly envy him for his wealth!

The court nobles in the North lived fairly well, as the subsidies could at least guarantee their normal lives... that was equivalent to the average income of a baron in a territory.

Therefore, many families would rather rely on doing business to maintain their family dignity than rush to become territorial nobles.

The allowances of the territorial nobles are certainly not small, but the expenses are much greater, and if you are not careful you may end up living worse than the owners of the manor.

Moreover, the hostility encountered was also very strong.

After all, although the national treasury does not belong to individuals, no one likes someone who comes to share their cake.

Even though everyone else can only watch that part of the cake, it is getting bigger and bigger.

That was a huge adventure, and without enough guarantees, the court nobles could still be patient. Arsalan thought about it... Even though Travis was furious, he was still very rational when dealing with things.

He would probably take the opportunity of rebuilding the rear hall to directly enfeoff Leon's brothers and sisters on the left side, as well as the descendants of several other princes who died early.

This……

Arsalan raised his head sharply and asked seriously, "Where's Leon?"

Travis laughed: "Ah~Arsalan, you are as smart as I thought.

Look, how can I bear to send you on a long journey like this?"

Arsalan silently suppressed the urge to roll his eyes.

Travis can be really mean sometimes.

No wonder the chief priests in the temple are annoyed with him.

After all, Travis would be even more wicked when it comes to those people who he hates but cannot be beaten to death.

"When Leon was expelled, he was no longer in the original sequence." Travis said with a bright smile, "Have you forgotten that according to the royal tradition, those who temporarily leave the royal family because of mistakes can form a new faction instead of returning to their original branch when they return?"

Arsalan was so surprised that his eyelids twitched rapidly.

He took out a thick bronze book from the storage ring on his wrist and flipped through it quickly.

Fortunately, the wizard's excellent memory helped him a lot, and he quickly turned to the part of the rules regarding members who violated the royal nobility.

Behind the complicated and vague rules, there are indeed two special amnesty clauses.

One is a level 16 member of the royal family. As long as his hands are not stained with the blood of his own clan, he voluntarily returns to the royal family and accepts those restrictions. He can then choose to return to his original branch or rebuild a new one according to his wishes.

The other is a person who died unjustly. After clearing his name, the royal family needs to give him compensation... and this compensation is to allow him to enter the previous sequence with his own identity.

In other words, if Leon borrows this clause, he can have the same inheritance rights as his uncles.

Because the eldest son and even the first three princes have passed away and have descendants, the system of primogeniture is no longer applicable.

Then, it was obvious that the eldest brother of the Leon family had no possibility of breaking through to level 10. He didn't have many chances to begin with, so he naturally lost his competitiveness completely.

Therefore, the right to inherit the throne naturally becomes a competition of strength and ability in the first sequence.

This is how the White Dragon King came to power.

Normal people like Arsalan naturally don't know much about these options, but Travis knows them, so it's not surprising.

This guy must have prepared for a long time, so he can still do it with ease now.

Arsalan shook his head: "I always feel that things won't go as smoothly as you think."

"Before, definitely not." Travis replied calmly, "At that time, I thought they were clowns and were a little unprepared.

But luck is on my side, isn't it?

I will have Ruth Kania personally escort them to their new home."

He ran his finger lightly across the map: "Qingshui River, I will wait until they go in before starting construction."

Arsalan stared at the map and said, "I see. I'll go talk to Lori."

"What?" Lori doubted his ears a little, "Teacher Arsalan, are you kidding?"

"This is a request from His Majesty the King. I have already rejected it, but he still won't give up." Arsalan tried hard to pass the blame to the real owner. "However, I have agreed with him that I cannot force you to do it, nor do I require you to have an answer."

"Teacher, you've been deceived." Lori answered carefully, "My mental strength is not enough, and Ruth Kania has always restricted me from exploring this kind of inherited memory that has no specific marks and is too wide.

Even if I had it, I wouldn't be able to see it.

His Majesty the King is very clear about this. He is already level 16, and his mental strength is not much worse than mine, but he doesn't have the ability to check it!"

Arsalan was stunned: "Huh?"

"Even if Ruth Kania sleeps 20 hours a day, she can't ignore this. The fact that she didn't say anything proves that what she said is bullshit.

Teacher, what did you do to make His Majesty the King test you like this?"

“I…I don’t think I can say much.

No, I don’t know whether I should say it now.”

"Then teacher, just tell him I refuse!" Lowry said sincerely, "I definitely won't do it anyway."

Arsalan returned to Travis with a look of resentment on his face.

However, after hearing his response, Travis just sighed: "It seems that Lowry really didn't inherit any of Sebephia's blood!"

The resentment on Arsalan's face disappeared instantly, leaving only surprise: "Ah? Are you testing Lori?
Are you crazy?

"That's not the case." Travis smiled helplessly, "There are some things that I need to confirm will not happen before I can discuss them with Lori."

"Lori, can I still care about you?" Arsalan, who was being used, was full of dissatisfaction. "Can't you explain it to me clearly? Do you have to make me act like a fool?"
