the ambassador who was send in helstain came back to the orberg family , together with the viscount orberg was baron elberg who was a close relative ,the viscount heard his report and spoke "so the helstain viscount did give in our demands without much fight hahahahhh good job lord good job both of you " the baron on his side was smiling too he spoke after some time " so the new lord knows his place and gave in "

the lord looked towards the baron " yes indeed he was a little proud and talked back at me for being a lord ,but he gave in is was obvious that he did not like the demand ,he just gave in and send me out of the castle in only a day but he just talked with us only for an hour "

lords are nobles who are higher than knights there are many reasons for their existence they are not useful as the knights who fight as an elite division ,the reason for the rank of lord to be a noble ,is one ,wizards in the past of the continent were many today only high nobles can have 1 wizard and kings and emperors can have 3 or 6 the only place who has a large number of them are magic towers ,in the past even low nobles like barons had 1 wizard so they would give them a good rank to keep them they couldn't give a high rank because they themselves were low rank ,but after time the number of wizards was small so only on dreams would a baron has a wizard but the rank still exist for low nobles to sent as diplomats

high nobles like a count and higher can sent low nobles like barons for things like this

the viscount talked again " he can be as mad as he wants as long as he does like we want i don't care , he is too weak to fight with us his population is small his army is small the city with the cores is under the prince so his economy is very small there is no way for him to fight back "

the baron gave a nod and spoke "he can't fights back, in another topic have you heard about the merchants who are selling the new kind of paper ?"

the viscount looked at him "yes i too bought a lot of paper from them its indeed better from normal paper and its cheaper too, but the merchants refuse to talk about where its coming from but probably the ducky in the south , i heard that they keep a lot of secrets about their army and economy no one knows what is going on there not even the emperor so i guess its from there " the nobles in the north are not good at politics they live with the sword all their lives they are poor and weak so they don't really know what is going on in the politics of the empire or the continent but the last years with the weak empire and the battle of succession going like this even the weak north is joining

the viscount looked at his wine "in 5 months duke cornvert will call all lords in the north to celebrate the victory he and the princess won against the barbarians we will meet there the viscount "

===================================================================================================================================baron lasbourg #the only one who didn't took land from the helstain territory# was at his office he touched his forehead he had lost hope his minister looked at him with a sad look "my lord you have to make a move there is no escape now ,the first princess refused our deal we can't reach the duke and our only friendly neighbor the helstain viscount is too weak to help us the only choice is a marriage with the son of the marquess "

the lasbourg territory is in a very hard position in their east the helstain are friendly but weak ,in their south the baron demanded for them to give up some land to them something imposible the land that they want has their capital on it ,the north has mountains but in the west there is a count who is a vassal of the 2 strongest house in the north the marquss resvalen and the marquss wants his secont son to marry the only daughter of baron lasbourg who is called the flower of the north she is smart and beautiful

the baron is forced to make a choice or the baron will lose land the son of the marquss is a trash person he drinks every day he sleeps with any woman he killed his fiancee but the marquss has keep every noble down with his power his son saw her once and he liked her for her beauty so he spoke to his father and he said yes the marquss probably wants to take over the baron

so the kind baron is forced it a corner he is weak and no one will help him and he will be forced to give his beloved daughter to a man like him the baron is trying to find a way for the past year he must make a choice soon
