Under the service of the maid, Arod took off his gorgeous Germanic aristocratic costume. Princess Josie handed the child in her hand to the wet nurse to take it to the room next door. When Arod was lying on the soft big bed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He claimed that the first step in claiming the title of Duke of Mecklenburg was completed. However, it would take some time to make the great nobles of Europa recognize their title. He had handed over this matter to Dylan, who had a keen political sense. ▲∴ Matt went to do it.

"Arod, I have written a letter and sent my maid to my brother, Duke Eble." Princess Josie put her head close to Arod's chest. They had not lie together like this for a long time.

"Oh, what is the content of the letter?" Aruod asked casually. This was not considered an inquiries, because according to the customs of this era, women belong to men, and women almost do not have much freedom or power to exercise.

"Although you claim the title of duke for the land you occupy, you still need the support of some powerful nobles." Princess Josie looked at her capable husband, so young, but with her own strength, which was a legend that only existed in the era of Charlemagne. However, it is precisely because of this that Princess Josie knew that her husband's foundation was unstable.

"Well, but my respectable brother-in-law is determined to pull us into the Mason Duke." Arod smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to pinch Princess Josie's small and straight nose. The Wendell family is not a prominent family, but the Herman family is a family with a long history. In this era, people generally believe in the long-standing bloodline.

Of course, it would be a great thing if Duke Mason could support Arod, and even Arod could make some concessions in interests for this, but Arod knew very well that this matter was not that simple, so he took a different approach at the suggestion of Dylan Matt.

"Maybe my brother will support us for my sake." Princess Josie sat up from Arod's arms and said to Arod.

"My little fool, I hope." Aruod took Princess Josie into his arms without comment. He was not as optimistic as Princess Josie thought, but it was not easy to say it at this time, because at this moment full of hope and joy, Aruod didn't want to destroy the atmosphere, so soon his hands wandered deep behind the enemy.

"Um. Um~~." Princess Qiao Xi's eyes were blurred, rose red appeared on her cheeks, and her rosy lips were slightly opened and gasped.

"Crack, creak, creak~~~." The wet nurse sat in the next room holding Aruod and Princess Josie's eldest son. She heard the sound of teeth shaking from the big bed, and couldn't help but sound curiously. Soon she heard the cheerful gasps from the duke and Princess Josie. The wet nurse showed a satisfied and proud smile on her face. It seemed that topics could be shown to others in the kitchen tomorrow.

Of course, Arod could not have bet on Duke Mason alone. He sent several teams of messengers carrying gifts from Mecklenburg to the court of the surrounding great lords. The most important team of messengers was led by Webster of the Marion Fort, because the master of Marion Fort was His Highness, Prince Otto, the Crown Prince of the East Frank Kingdom, and Prince Otto and his wife, Prince Anglo-Saxon, happened to settle in the castle.

"According to the request of the father, we have traveled to most of the kingdom's territory, but the dukes' attitudes have not been relaxed at all. It's really worrying." Prince Otto sat in the courtyard of Fort Marion and his wife chatted. Fort Marion is the bridgehead closest to the east of the Saxony royal family, which is why Prince Otto attached so much importance to this castle.

"But the Counts' attitude was very friendly. Didn't we receive good hospitality in the Counts' castles?" Princess Anglo-Saxon was not as pessimistic as her husband. During the journey through the entire kingdom, this foreign princess gradually integrated into the role of a member of the Germanic royal family.

"But so what, the dukes really have the right to vote in the meeting." Prince Otto picked up a glass of wine with a sad face. Although his father, Henry, the bird catcher, changed the traditional inheritance custom from Carolin, if the dukes do not agree with it, it will cause the kingdom to fall into civil strife.

"Your Highness, there is a team of messengers asking for an audience." When Princess Anglo-Saxon didn't know how to persuade her husband, a royal servant came over and told them.

"Empress? Why don't I know that there are other envoys coming to see him. It is the messenger of that adult?" Prince Otto asked the royal servant curiously.

"They said they were the messenger of the Duke of Mecklenburg and hoped to meet you."

"Duke of Mecklenburg? Why didn't I know there was such a duke?" Prince Otto asked in surprise, but he immediately remembered that there was an Earl of Mecklenburg, and he also placed his illegitimate son there.

"It's so interesting, and there's a duke you don't know." Princess Anglo-Saxon also quipped to her husband.

"Let them come in." Prince Otto laughed dryly, waved his hand to ask the attendant to bring the messenger in.

"His Highness Prince Otto, the unparalleled beauty and princess, I am the messenger of the Duke of Mecklenburg, and I am willing to serve you." Webster was wearing a gorgeous service. When he saw Prince Otto and his wife, his legs crossed, his waist bent like a spring, almost touching the ground, and his hands made court etiquette movements, but his movements were too exaggerated, which made Princess Anglo-Saxon laugh.

"When did your master claim the title of Duke?" Prince Otto couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. This was the first time that his thin face, which was almost like a poker face, smiled in front of outsiders.

"My master, the Duke of Mecklenburg, has claimed the title of Duke to the people of his territory a week ago after occupying the lands of Mecklenburg, Rostock and Watergast." Webster quickly replied truthfully.

"Oh, so fast?" Prince Otto was even more surprised when he heard this. He did not expect that Arod's expansion was astonishing. The Saxony royal family gathered the power of their vassals to seize a piece of land in Brandenburg from the Slavs, but Arod actually occupied three pieces of land alone.
