Chapter 57: Ancient Nobles and Edict Nobles

Scarlett is the daughter of the Baron's family.

In the empire, the baron was the second-to-last titled nobleman, and the lowest titled nobleman "Knight", and the lower part was the lowest titled nobleman without a title, and only added a "von" before the surname.

The word baron is the etymology of "free lord", which is very telling: the baron was originally a lord who enjoyed absolute ownership of his own land. He was his own boss and did not have to bear feudal obligations such as rent, military service, corvee service, etc. to other lords.

But there was another kind of baron in the empire, who were often promoted from knights and had obligations to higher nobles; their land was a fief granted by higher nobles.

Those who directly obtain the title of baron from the emperor can be called "Imperial Barons", and their land was granted by the emperor.

In the new era, a new group of barons appeared in the empire. Most of them were from the bourgeoisie and won titles by donating property to the royal family and the government.

In order to distinguish it from these nouveau riche "Baron", "Imperial Baron" emphasized that the full name of his title is "Imperial Baron".

The family like Scarlett Haus, although they only have the title of "Baron of the Empire" at a lower level, are among the directly subordinate emperors and ancient nobles with a long history.

On the contrary, although the Faust family is a top noble family in the empire, they are first-class nouveau riche.

Like Faust, he was born in the civilian class and even peasants, and was promoted to nobles for various reasons. This new noble is called the nobles, because they received the imperial edicts from the king or the emperor and became nobles.

The "noble aristocrats" like the Faust family have always been despised by the "ancient nobility" who came from Scarlett.

Even though they possess billions of wealth and interfere in the central politics of the empire, they are still discriminated against by ancient nobles because of their nouveau riche status.

Now.

A young lady from an ancient aristocratic family like Scarlett bowed to Faust.

"I, Scarlett von O'Hara, swear by the old nobles' houses, will never break any bets."

Miss Scarlett's solemn and serious look only made Faust funny.

"Oh, I said, Miss... Don't forget that bet, the loser will be done whatever he wants by the winner?"

Faust's very unfriendly words made Scarlett take several steps in fear.

Faust: "...Is it serious to take three steps in a row..."

Scarlett closed his eyes, his face full of grief, anger, and humiliation—

Her hands pressed tightly on her collar and chest, as if Faust would do evil!

"If you lose, you lose." said Scarlett, "I can't do anything that insults my family! I'm willing to bet and accept the loss... But, but! Faust! But don't go too far!"

The ancient aristocratic family, unlike the emerging aristocrats, had a series of complex "family laws" and "criterion".

They adhered to some strange old morals of the feudal era to an incredible level.

Scarlett can bully people at school, and can use Gan Bida as a younger brother, but after losing a bet with Faust, he must strictly fulfill the bet, otherwise their family's reputation in the ancient aristocratic circle will be completely ruined.

Not only Faust could not understand the mentally retarded idea of ​​this old aristocratic family, but even Gan Bida could not understand it.

He came to the Reef Cafe to look for Faust, but he was completely forced to come by Scarlett.

Gan Bida's anger and humiliation are still above Scarlett.

Because he didn't think he was losing, and he had never prepared to fulfill his failed bet - wasn't this bet made by Scarlett and Faust himself?

Gan Bida roared in his heart: What's my business?

Gan Bida's father worked in a factory under the name of Scarlett's family, and he could not disobey Miss Scarlett's decision - no matter how cerebral palsy the decision seemed.

"What kind of fool am I a paralyzed?"

Of course, in Faust's eyes, Gan Bida's cerebral palsy was completely equal to Scarlett's, so let alone the second brother.

Faust was about to get angry. He felt that if Miss Scarlett really made her bet of "being a slave", she would definitely inflict the big family behind her.

He is not Scarlett, and he has cerebral palsy like Gan Bida. The IQ level of a normal person will never cause trouble just to have a moment of fun.

The huge debt of 350 million marks has not yet been seen, so I will provoke the ancient aristocratic family?

Even if he is just a low-level imperial baron, he is not comparable to Faust, who is completely defeated now.

Faust resisted the urge to kick Scarlett out and explained:

"No...my lady, that bet, well, I mean that such a sensible bet can be ignored."

Scarlett raised his slender and graceful neck and said sadly: "Are you just talking to me?"

Gan Bida: "…"

"Stop," Faust dissuaded, "I don't need any slaves, Miss Scarlett, but I welcome friends."

Faust extended his hand to Gan Bida again: "The same is true for Gan Bida. I welcome friends. If you want, you can do a few things for me, just as offsetting the bet."

Scarlett said in surprise: "Really!? Do you really want us to fulfill our bet like this?"

Gan Bi tried his best to hold Miss Scarlett, for fear that she would not be able to think about it, so she insisted on forcing Faust to change her mind.

This is a force, right? I have to be someone else's slave...

Gan Bida's fear and panic were almost surpassing his grief, anger, and shamefulness that he lost to Faust.

Faust shook his hands and held them together with Gan Bi: "Then we are friends!"

Scarlett Hawk was shocked by Faust's generous heart, and she used her villain's heart to judge Faust's gentlemanly adolescents. In this way, Scarlett Hawk even felt that as long as she could avoid physical harm, it was considered lenient.

I didn't expect Faust to be such a person...

It's so good! It's such a big shot... It's worthy of being a real noble family.

God is pitiful. This time, Faust did not use the ability of [beauty of prosperity] to seduce people with his ability to beautify people's hearts like he did when he was playing with Gan Bida.

Faust was also convinced by Scarlett's magical brain circuit and the strange family rules of the ancient aristocratic family.

No wonder you ancient nobles are now being squeezed down by upstarts like the Faust family.

With this kind of IQ, Faust should have doubted whether the ancient nobles were all engaged in close relatives.

Scarlett shed a few tears: "I... can I be Mr. Faust's friend?"

Lilulu said viciously: "It's Master Faust!"

Faust: "…"

Most of the ones with "Feng" in their names are nobles, but not necessarily; and the ones with nobles do not necessarily contain "Feng".

In addition to the "Feng" of the empire, the "Fan" of the United Province, the "De" of the Republic, etc., words added to names like this are called "noble sketches".
