Chapter 255 The Blazing Sun Royal Family 2
She heard this from a distant relative. The story wasn't complicated; the main thing was that the Empress loved her youngest son, and even Empress Chiyang couldn't escape it.
Queen Chiyang was already quite old when she gave birth to Bordor. The eldest children of her two eldest sons and daughters were all older than Bordor.
Unlike her outstanding eldest son and daughter who had not been by her side since childhood, Bordor was equally outstanding. More importantly, he had grown up under her care since childhood, and she had watched him grow from a tiny child. Compared to her eldest son and daughter who had been separated from her since childhood, the Queen's heart was inevitably biased towards him.
Unlike his eldest daughter and son, who achieved great things and earned titles, Bordol, despite being born into a better environment than his older brothers and sisters, did not have the opportunity to achieve great things.
The Chiyang Parliament bestows titles upon princes and princesses as local dukes and marquises, but the number of such titles is limited and extremely rare; those who do not achieve sufficient merit will naturally not receive high ranks.
Becoming a Grand Duke as Bordor is not enough, but his marquis brothers and sisters are still willing to grant him his wish, though the fiefdom may be average.
Empress Chiyang was naturally not happy about it. Her eldest son would become the Grand Duke of the largest duchy, and her eldest daughter would become the next Empress. Why should her youngest and most beloved son only get a marquisate?
She wanted Bordor to be granted the title of Grand Duke as well!
But obviously, that's impossible. Each Grand Duke is not just someone of noble status; more importantly, they have made tremendous contributions!
Moreover, the number of Grand Dukes is fixed! Crown Prince Leishi was lucky; not only did he make great contributions, but at that time, Grand Duke Ender passed away without any children, and the duchy was abolished.
The previous emperor, under immense pressure, reserved the Grand Duke's position as compensation for the regent, but it was swapped between Princess Hel and Crown Prince Rahi.
The Crown Prince of Lacey was granted the title of Grand Duke, and now the Queen of the Blazing Sun wants to make Bordor the Grand Duke. Where would they get a spot for him? Creating a separate spot is even more impossible, even though it has already been clearly stipulated in the law.
Queen Chiyang was unwilling to accept this and offered to let Podol inherit the title of Marquis, but only if he could be given Chisoreen, the largest mining city in Chiyang Kingdom, as his territory.
This was of course rejected. Princess Hel and Crown Prince Leishi must be crazy to agree to their mother's conditions. Soreen City produces one-third of the mineral resources of the Blazing Sun Kingdom and accounts for one-tenth of the Blazing Sun Kingdom's revenue. They must be crazy to grant such a treasure to their younger brother!
Empress Chiyang couldn't accept it. This wouldn't do, that wouldn't do. She had never thought of giving the throne to Bodor, but what about these two rebellious sons who were supposed to be her older brother and sister?
She is utterly cruel and ungrateful to her younger brother, showing no affection whatsoever; she is utterly unfilial!
When Podol heard about this, he thought his mother had gone mad. Even if his older siblings were willing to give him such an important place, he wouldn't dare to accept it!
Moreover, he didn't think there was anything wrong with being a marquis. His older brother and sister wouldn't assign him to such a remote and impoverished place. What difference did the other fiefdoms make?
In the end, his older brothers and sisters wouldn't make things difficult for their obedient younger brother, since they were brothers.
However, since his mother was fighting for his rights, he couldn't bring himself to tell her.
The other party was genuinely trying to help him; it would be too cold-hearted to say it out loud.
Caught between his mother and his older brother and sister, Podol left the Kingdom of Blazing Sun and came to this small town, where he became engrossed in enchanting and stayed away from the center of the conflict.
Once the protagonist leaves, no amount of further argument will change anything, and this successfully quells the conflict between mother and son.
In order to prevent the relationship between his mother and his older brother and sister from deteriorating further, Bordor chose to stay in this small town to ease the tension between the three of them.
After listening to everything, Cheng Jiu and the other two sighed at how difficult it was for Bodo. From his perspective, if he took a step forward, he would have to face his older siblings who had been very good to him before, and if he took a step back, he would be letting down his elderly mother who raised him and devoted herself to him wholeheartedly.
No matter what he does, he feels like an ingrate.
Escaping is shameful, but it's useful.
At least in the letters that Podol sent to his mother during the years he was away from the Blazing Sun Kingdom, there are signs of reconciliation between the two sides.
That's enough!
Upon receiving the letter from his mother at his master's place, Bordor carefully read every sentence, his heart filled with warmth. He silently thought to himself, among his older brothers and sisters, his mother had chosen him, and he couldn't let her down. This was good enough! Very good!
"You're back. How was your trip?" As soon as they entered the hotel, Bru raised his glass to the four ladies and asked. Judging from his expression, the business negotiations had gone very well.
"Very good, we went to the clothing store and the enchanting store!" Flame Princess led the three of them to sit next to him. As soon as the four of them arrived, the customers who were originally sitting not far from Blue quietly made room for them.
"Bring these four ladies a drink!" Blue patted the bar.
"Thanks!" Yan Ji gracefully accepted the wine offered and took a sip. "And you? How are you?"
"Big deal! We've sold a tenth of our basic goods. Things will be a bit easier for us from now on!" Blue said with a hint of delight. "My dad just got back!"
"How so?" The four of them immediately became serious, their faces earnest.
"The person behind the scenes stepped in to mediate, and the customers who had been scammed were rescued. However, for some reason, the person didn't look too good. He compensated all the customers with a large sum of money and promised to deal seriously with that illegitimate son."
"This must be dealt with seriously; even this illegitimate son from such a powerful family is ruined!"
“We’ve run into my fifth uncle,” Yan Ji said.
"Fifth Uncle? Fifth Elder? Master Zhu Xuan!" Bru asked repeatedly in surprise.
"Who else could it be but him?" Yan Ji rolled her eyes beautifully.
"What are you doing here, Master Zhu Xuan?"
"I got ripped off. It was that shady shop. They didn't recognize my fifth uncle. You know what I mean!" Yan Ji said succinctly.
"I knew it! To offend such a master!" Upon hearing the news, Bru and Yan Ji shared the same gloating: "That guy deserved it!"
They didn't even mention the illegitimate child anymore, they didn't even give him a name or a title, they just used that thing. He can now be sure that the illegitimate child has no chance of turning things around.
After all, no family would be so generous as to offend a master for the sake of a son born out of wedlock, especially since this one is fond of making friends. If Master Zhu Xuan were to spread the word, it would be uncertain whether any gem enchanters would still be willing to cooperate with them.
