Reject me, you damn woman.

Can you perfectly resolve this dispute that neither the previous Purple Gold Flower Emperor nor the current Empress was able to mediate?

Sergun readily agreed:

"If His Highness Lin En's mediation method abides by the contract and does not favor any party, I will certainly abide by it."

"In that case, then good, please tell me your problem, Uncle Bo."

Lynn nodded in satisfaction.

A hint of doubt flashed across Sergun's eyes.

This guy, did he just smile?

However, things had come to this point and there was no room for retreat. The head of the Bol family paused and began to narrate the conflict that had long been known to everyone in the imperial capital and had spanned countless generations.

In fact, this matter was originally the fault of the first Emperor Norton.

Because the other party was too full of martial virtues, and their level of civil governance could only be described as burning books and burying scholars, the eight major families contributed a large part of the efforts in the early governance of Zijinhua.

As a reward for the eight major families that had helped him a lot, the first Emperor Norton acquiesced to the eight major families dividing the imperial capital into several parts, with each family governing an area and only paying taxes and other fees to the Norton family on time every year.

As the civil and administrative abilities of the subsequent Norton emperors improved, they gradually regained control of these regions, but still tacitly allowed each family to retain a small area as their own fiefdom.

This kind of division certainly cannot be based on any paper contract, and the conflict between Mistry and Paul also arises from this.

Even in the imperial capital, not everyone's assigned area was very prosperous in the early stages of development. Mistry was one of the more unlucky ones. The governance and development of the area assigned to her encountered considerable difficulties, and there was a serious shortage of both manpower and resources.

At this time, they received a request for help at just the right time.

The neighboring Boll family hoped to lease Mistry's reservation and promised to pay Mistry enough rent every year. This was a perfect match for the Mistry family, which had already been troubled by the useless fiefdom.

Under the development of the Bol family, Mistry's reservation developed rapidly. With the strength of the Purple Gold Flower Empire, the value of the imperial capital continued to increase, and the contradictions between the two sides also arose from this.

After a certain period of development, the Mistry family has gained enough strength to govern the backyard and no longer wants to lease the area to the Boll family. They want to give the other party some compensation and take back their own reserved land.

However, when the former head of the Mistry family visited the Bol family with full sincerity and made his request, he was politely and firmly rejected by the other party.

Can anyone prove that it was Mistry’s reservation?

Hasn't it been the Bol family that has been developing since the founding of the country?

Can anyone prove that it was Mistry’s reservation?

The First Majesty can indeed do so, but please show his handwriting or other proof.

Upon receiving this answer, the head of the Mistry family was furious and immediately asked for mediation from the other families. However, when the other families all stood on the side of the Bol family.

The head of the Mistry family only realized that it was too late that he had already let the wolf into the house.

The angry Mistry family head immediately used the contract power, hoping that the Norton royal family would fairly adjudicate this conflict.

However, no matter who looks at it, this matter is a hot potato that is difficult to judge with the word "fairness".

Logically speaking, that was indeed Mistry's territory.

However, its development has always been promoted by the Bol family, and its construction has always been contributed by the Bol family. Even most of the subjects only know that their lord is the master of the Bol family. So, who should this territory belong to?

If the judge at that time was an iron-blooded emperor with equally strong will and skills, perhaps the final decision could be made regardless of who the fiefdom was.

As luck would have it, the Purple Gold Flower Emperor was Lin En’s grandfather, the Bloody Red Dragon, the late emperor who was known for his inaction.

He did not come up with a solution that would satisfy anyone, and the matter was shelved. The head of the Mistry family was so angry that he died on the spot. This was the opportunity for the Mistry family to become a semi-commercial family.

This incident also became an eternal shame in the hearts of the Mistry family.

And when Lin En's queen mother, the Bloody Red Dragon, came to power.

Although she has a strong hand, the Queen Mother does not have a good approach to deal with this long-standing and unclear historical legacy, and can only try her best to provide Mistry with subsidies in other ways.

Mistry, who had already surrendered to Her Majesty the Queen, was also considerate and did not embarrass Her Majesty anymore. Moreover, the nature of their family had changed to semi-commercial, so they did not consider the fiefdom that important.

But a shame is still a shame.

The shame of being fooled, laughed at, betrayed, and even the head of the family was angered to death is not so easy to erase.

What's more, the scar was mentioned to him in person by his archenemy in a joking and mocking tone.

Listening to the narration of Chief Bol, Kaya pursed her lips and clenched her fists.

She subconsciously looked at Lynn.

Although it was unlikely, she felt that the prince in front of her might really be able to solve the problem that neither of the two emperors could properly solve.

In a way that is truly fair to everyone.

"How is it, Lord Lynn?"

The head of the Bol family sneered,

"Nowadays, Mistry's people often come to our family's reservation to cause trouble. Since Miss Kaya 'happens' to be here today, please ask Your Highness Linn to give both parties justice."

And Lin En nodded:

"Uncle Paul's description is very clear. I have already made a decision. However, I also have a question. I hope Uncle Paul can help me solve it. If you can solve my doubts, perhaps this problem can also be solved."

"Then I'll rely on Your Highness. Please feel free to speak."

Master Bol had a thousand doubts in his heart. Even the bloody red dragon couldn't solve the mess, so how could you?

He came here today on purpose to embarrass Lin En.

If Lin En favors Kaya too much, the five major families will have something to talk about. And if Lin En favors himself, then Miss Kaya, who has risked her life for him, will have to consider whether the man around her is worth it.

As for fairness?

What a bullshit fairness!

This is not like children dividing a cake where they can just cut it in half and each take half. Neither party will accept this kind of compromise.

This move can be said to be sinister.

However, Lin En calmly began to tell her story:

"Once upon a time, there was a man who came across a fruit tree in a place known only to him."

"The tree was still small, but it would bear fruit. The man then remembered his friend who wanted to eat the fruit and called him here."

“My friend is very grateful to that man, because without him, he would never have discovered the fruit tree.”

"Later, my friend kept taking care of the fruit tree, and one day, the tree produced fruit."

Lin En turned to the head of the Bol family:

"Then please tell me, Uncle Pol, how should the fruit be divided?"

The head of the Bol family sneered at this:

"Since it is a friend who has been taking care of the fruit tree, then of course all the fruits should belong to him."

Kaya immediately retorted:

"No, since no one has discovered the fruit tree, his friend will never find the fruit tree, so how can he keep it all for himself?"

Still, water and fire cannot coexist.

The metaphor of this story is so obvious that everyone is somewhat confused about Lynn's intention.

And Lin En showed an expected smile:

"What you two said is not right."

"Because you two overlooked one thing."

“The sky will rain, the earth will give birth to all things, but fruit trees will not exist in a vacuum.”

"What on earth does your highness mean?"

Chief Bol frowned slightly, not understanding what Lin En was talking about.

"I mean,"

Lynn paused.

“From the beginning, the fruit tree does not belong to the person who discovered it, nor to the person who takes care of it, but from the beginning, it belongs to the owner of the orchard who planted it.”

"And the fiefdom is the same."

"Since the two of you have been arguing over this, and neither of you agrees to divide it,"

The head of the Bol family became more and more confused, while Kaya thought of a possibility, her eyes flashed, and the corners of her lips raised.

Lin En spread his hands, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled helplessly:

"As the owner of the orchard, I don't know why you two are arguing about the ownership of my fruit trees. But in order to prevent you from continuing to argue endlessly and wasting time and energy, I would like to ask you to give up this so-called fiefdom."

"Hand it over to the state."

Everyone, don't play it too hard!

"What a hasty decision, Your Highness! I absolutely cannot accept it!"

He raised his hand and slapped away the hand that Lin En extended. The head of the Bol family glared at the young man in front of him fiercely. The face that should have exuded a youthful aura was filled with an unfathomable smile, as if he was really sincerely trying to resolve the conflict, which made the head of the Bol family even more annoyed.

"What's the matter with you, dear Uncle Pol? Why are you so angry?"

Lynn smiled.

"Is there anything about my adjustment that makes you dissatisfied?"

"Because your Highness's judgment is so unfair!"

Patriarch Bol said angrily.

Of course he was dissatisfied, and he was dissatisfied with everything!

"Yeah,"

Lynn showed a look of realization.

"If that's the case, I want to apologize to you, Uncle Pol. Please tell me in detail where I was unfair in the ruling on the fiefdom."

Sergun's chest heaved with anger. Did he even need to say this?

With the development of the empire, the eight major families have basically completed their transformation. Only the Boll family, because it owns double the reserved land, has been developing based on the market business and rent of the reserved land.

For Mistry, who has turned to commercialism, the existence or non-existence of the fiefdom of Klin District is no longer important, except for the factor of family shame.

But to Boll, Linn’s verdict was totally unfair. It was an attempt to destroy the lifeline of his Boll family!

However, just as he started to pour out his grievances, Lin En raised his hand to interrupt him:

"Wait a moment, Uncle Pol. I know that your family has made great contributions to the development of the Emira District and the Klin District, and the Empire also appreciates your efforts. But, does this have anything to do with the issue of territory division that we are talking about?"

Sergun was about to retort, but Linn raised his hand to stop him:

"Uncle Sergun, if you want to repeat your family's contribution to the development of the Klin District, then there is no need. I said that what we are discussing this time is simply the distribution of the Klin District. Miss Kaya, am I biased towards your family?"

"Of course not, Your Highness. My family did not gain any extra benefits from this judgment. Although I am your female companion, I must admit that even the most impartial law enforcer would bow down before your noble character."

Kaya's eyes were full of satisfaction.

"In that case,"

Lin En turned to Patriarch Bol again, his eyes full of innocence:

"Uncle Sergun, when you applied to me for arbitration, you promised me that as long as I did not favor the Mistry family, you would follow my ruling and execute the arbitration result. Everyone heard it."

Lin En suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone and eyes became sharp at the same time:

"In other words, are you the one who wants to violate the oath between the Dragon Blood Family and the Eight Great Families?"

The head of the Bol family's face turned pale and his lips trembled, but he could not refute a single word.

The mediation contract between the Dragon Blood Family and the eight major families is not just a simple word, but a magical contract witnessed by the God of Contract.

Those who break their oaths will inevitably be punished, which is why Mistry did not use force to take back the territory after her application for arbitration failed.

In an instant, Sergun felt cold sweat soaking his back.

Only then did he understand why Lin En had gone to such great lengths to get him to promise that he would abide by the ruling if it did not favor either party.

At this moment, he already felt that some kind of will had already set its sights on him.
