Chapter 665 - 665 3 Family_2

665: Chapter 3, Family_2 665: Chapter 3, Family_2 Originally, Hudson intended to consult with him and ask about his thoughts on the future development of the territory; he never thought that Baron Redman would directly assert that he himself had no thoughts on the matter.

From his eyes, one could tell that Baron Redman truly had no ideas, rather than simply playing games.

Clearly, the incomplete noble education of the Koslow Family had directly limited the thinking of the previous generation.

They are rich in experience when it comes to managing a small town.

But planning the future development of a Count’s territory is simply too difficult for them.

Before Hudson’s rise, the Koslow Family’s biggest dream was to return to the ranks of the intermediate aristocracy.

Becoming a major noble in the kingdom, was too far-fetched even to dream about.

Looking at how Hudson has achieved his present position in an effortless manner, the only idea that Baron Redman has now is —— to lie low!

All life goals have been achieved by his son on his behalf, and there is no need for him to continue striving.

Instead of being busy and on the run all day, it’s better to enjoy life.

The only concern remaining for him now is their ancestral lands.

However, given Hudson’s capability, this tricky issue has already been transferred to this new clan leader, Hudson.

Frankly speaking, Hudson’s position as the clan leader is not in accordance with the traditional inheritance laws.

Regardless of the bloodline and the seniority in the clan, it was not Hudson’s turn to take the position.

All branches agreed: those who regain the ancestral land would become the clan leader, a role that Hudson has not yet fulfilled either.

The nomination was mainly due to clan interests.

Only a united Koslow Family can go further in this world.

Before this, all branches were prepared to compromise, but some were unwilling to lose face.

It was only dragged on until Hudson entered the ranks of major nobles that everyone could no longer bear it.

The Koslow clan inherently had shallow roots.

If the branches did not seize the time to unite, how could they possibly support the threshold of a house of a major noble?

It must be known that this jump in class benefited not only Hudson, but all members of the Koslow Family.

By taking this step, everyone turns into noble children of high nobility.

No matter how distant the relationship, with such a background, everyone’s development potential has been dramatically increased.

Theoretically speaking, any member of the Koslow Family could rise up in the political world and potentially become a minister in court; if they enter the military, there is also the opportunity to become a commander.

This is the exclusive privilege of major nobles; either from the royal family or a major noble’s household, the kingdom’s top levels are comprised of them.

Middle and lower nobles, no matter how well they mingle in the court, cannot serve as principal officials.

Even the King could not break this unspoken rule of the officialdom and promote them forcibly.

Similar levels of division are reflected in various aspects.

In the Continent of Aslante, the nobler one’s birth, the better they tend to do.

In front of one’s birth, ability actually becomes a secondary factor.

Common interests broke all restrictions.

The original succession rules of the family head were also changed because of Hudson’s emergence.

Looking at the piles of various documents in front of him, Hudson felt his scalp tingle.

Clearly, these are accumulated long-term details of the territory that require his personal handling and understanding.

“Tom, summon the territorial administrators for a meeting,” Hudson said with a helpless expression.

Once the matters were dumped in front of him, he made an excuse about not feeling well and left.

Faced with his father’s wilful behaviour, Hudson was helpless.

With the person in charge gone, if he wanted to understand the detailed occurrences of major events in the past of the territory, he could only seek the senior leaders of the territory.

Hudson vaguely discovered that Baron Redman seemed to be hinting that it was time to retire those among the management who had questionable loyalties.

However, things like that must be done gracefully.

After all, these people have made outstanding contributions to the development of Mountain Domain.

Without any evidence to prove their betrayal, forcibly removing them would easily lead to unrest.

…

In Bera City, Earl Piers, who stepped into the City Lord’s Mansion, decisively called a halt to the welcoming banquet.

There were no heavy-weight guests so continuing the banquet would just be a waste of time.

Having just come down from the battlefield and going head-to-head with the provincial nobles along the way, the physically and mentally exhausted Earl Piers wanted nothing more than a good sleep.

Reflecting on his performance during this war, he couldn’t help but want to slap himself twice.

First, he let out Hudson, the flood dragon, and cultivated a competitor for his family.

Then he lost the family’s painstakingly accumulated base and also managed to offend many nobles in the province.

Not waiting to recover, he stepped into the pit of reselling military supplies right away and almost lost his life as a result.

Connecting the dots of everything that happened, Earl Piers helplessly discovered that the situation had steadily worsened, which was entirely self-inflicted.

With Hudson ascending to the heavens, along with the upstart Koslow Family, he could no longer suppress them.

Even if he wanted to take restrictive measures, he didn’t know where to start.

After all, the Koslow Family’s current most important strategy is to develop new lands.

They are all holed up in their territories, focusing on farming.

They can’t think of how to counter this.

Unlike the nobles of the North who were foreigners, with just a wave of disturbances, the nobles below naturally isolated them.

As a family that has been rooted in Southeastern Province for many years, the Koslow Family is still considered our own people in the eyes of the provincial nobles.
