The Knight's Journey to the Empire
Chapter 19 Adults and the Poor
The administrative divisions of the Kingdom of Midburg are divided into fourteen counties, namely four counties in the east, four counties in the south, three counties in the west, two counties in the north, and the central county where the capital of the kingdom is located.
Tallinn County is located in the southern part of the kingdom and is one of the four southern counties. The other three counties are Ulster County, Innartkirchen County, and Kassel County.
The Lipton family, to which Soran belongs, has its seat in Ulster County.
Of course, it was not in the county town, but in a small town under its jurisdiction.
In the County of Ulster, there were not many nobles who owned hereditary territories, but there were quite a few as well, and there were many other miscellaneous small nobles.
Among them, there are only two most distinguished and powerful nobles, namely Count Lopez and Count Granbell.
There are fifteen cities in the county of Ulster, and the hereditary territories of these two noble earls occupy eleven of them.
Count Lopez occupied five and Count Granbell six.
The city where the Lipton family is based is called Connacht, which is one of the five cities occupied by Count Lopez.
Soren's father, Jose Lipton, was the mayor of Connacht. He was a lifelong noble and one of Count Lopez's retainers.
The Lipton family has been rooted in Connacht for more than two hundred years.
Because many years ago, an ancestor of the family, when he was a retainer of Count Lopez, participated in a war between Count Lopez and the neighboring lord and made outstanding contributions, he was granted the title of knight and inherited the title of knight. The successive patriarchs served as the lord of Connacht.
Therefore, the Lipton family has since joined the ranks of aristocratic families.
It is worth mentioning that the city lord does not have military and judicial powers, but has administrative and financial powers.
After two hundred years of reproduction and development, the Sir Lipton family has prospered and has a large population, divided into many factions.
But the most important of them is the lineage of the patriarch who inherited the title of knight, that is, the lineage of Sauron's father.
There are not many important figures in this lineage, only five of them, they are:
Soren's father, Jose Lipton;
Soren's oldest brother, Carlo Lipton;
Soren's stepmother, Jenny Totova;
Soren's sister, Monica Lipton.
Sauron's biological mother died of complications during childbirth.
And it is precisely for this reason that Sir Jose Lipton and his eldest son Carlo Lipton have always been resentful about Soran's birth.
Of course, there is no bloody plot here where an unscrupulous stepmother persecutes her stepson to fight for the right to inherit property.
On the contrary, Jenny Totova is a very loving mother. She loves her two step-sons and her biological daughter equally, without any difference.
This can be seen from the fact that she sends a considerable amount of living expenses to Soran every month.
It's just that Sauron is a soul that traveled through time and space. He already has complete memories of his past life and a relatively mature mind. Coupled with the slight grudge in his heart, the relationship between him and this new family is not so harmonious.
As soon as his student life at the Donbass Knight Academy ended, Soran reluctantly but immediately rushed back to this "home" where he did not have much sense of belonging, in order to prepare for the upcoming "poor man's gift" at the age of 18.
This time, Soran only brought his personal servant Javier.
Also traveling along the way was Adam, who was also a "fresh graduate".
The Knight Continent Gregorian calendar is December 4875, 12. This is Soran’s birthday, and also the day he holds his eighteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony.
After all, he was just a bastard who was not valued by the family, so there was no need for Sauron's coming-of-age ceremony to be grand and well-known.
All you need to do is find a few elders from the tribe who have a certain prestige to participate in the witnessing, and keep everything simple.
The ceremony of adulthood is very simple and is relatively divided into four processes:
The first is ancestor worship.
After bathing and changing clothes in the morning, we go to the temple where the portraits of our ancestors are enshrined to pay tribute to our ancestors.
Not everyone can enter the family temple after being KO'd.
Judging from the history of family development, only those ancestors who have made outstanding contributions to the development and growth of the family can enter the temple and enjoy the offerings of their descendants.
Otherwise, even the clan leader cannot go up to the altar.
The second is to grant the sword.
In the afternoon, in the grand hall of the family mansion, in the presence of the clan elders and the entire family, Soren's father, Jose Lipton, awarded Soren the knight's sword and armor.
This foreshadows that Soran has officially become an adult, a true knight, and an independent person.
He will no longer be a vassal of the family, and the family will no longer provide him with a free source of living funds. He needs to rely on his own hands or the sword in his hand to survive.
The third is to hold a dinner party.
The whole family gathered together for a big dinner to celebrate Soren Lipton's transformation into a man.
Of course, judging from the overall process of the dinner, the scene was lively and both the guests and hosts were happy, but I don’t know the details.
Anyway, Sauron knew in his heart that his adoptive father, brother and himself were not very happy.
Perhaps his stepmother, Mrs. Jenny Totova, was the only one who was truly happy during the entire dinner.
The fourth is night talks in the study.
This is the most important part of the entire coming-of-age ceremony process.
In this session, Soran will have a separate face-to-face conversation with his cheap father, and the topic of the conversation is Soran's future.
To put it bluntly, how much support and things Sauron can get from his family before leaving the family depends on this conversation.
This will be a confrontation to maximize interests regarding Sauron's future.
