The cuckoo crows cried in the early morning, and the sun shone through the windows into the castle. The wooden lattice windows were carved with the artistic style of the Slavs. After all, this castle was once owned by the Slavs, but was later taken away by Arod and mercenaries. Even after being occupied by Arod, monk Elvit ordered his servants to add many Catholic styles. However, in the unexpected corners of the castle, there were still Lomva art carvings, such as four-leaf clover or wisteria flower carvings, which made Mecklenburg Castle unique to some extent.

Princess Josie wore her dress under the maid's service. Today is her official first day as the hostess of Mecklenburg Castle. She must give everyone a solemn and majestic feeling, so Princess Josie chose a sky blue dress. The young and beautiful hostess set off her snow-white skin with a white headscarf. She wore a gold-line embroidered coat outside the sky blue dress. Under the maid's service, Princess Josie brought many dowry from Mason Castle, a precious piece of

Milan dressed up in front of the mirror. When this precious mirror was just placed in the room, it scared the maid who had never seen the world in Mecklenburg Castle. She saw a man who looked exactly like her, shouting that there was a devil's appearance, making the whole castle uneasy. In the end, Arod came forward to explain clearly before giving up. However, later he got used to this mirror that could reflect the reflection, which made the wives of the court officials in the Mecklenburg palace often borrowed it.

"Your Highness of the Princess." As the hostess of Mecklenburg Castle, Princess Josie appeared in the lord's hall, and the servants hurriedly saluted her. Even the courtiers who were already sitting at the wooden table to eat stood up. Arod and Duke Eble went on a war to leave Mecklenburg Castle. According to the noble law, Princess Josie was the highest leader of the castle. All administrative and judicial powers were in her hands, but could this young princess compete for this job?

As a lord, she had to eat with the court officials, and Princess Josie was not surprised or uncomfortable. Because as the princess of the Herman family, the education she received since childhood and the subtle influence made Josie cope very freely. While dining, she chatted with Arod's court officials from time to time. The intelligent princess could call the court officials without any obstacles, but Arod had not many court officials, the main ones were monk Elvit and several supervisors.

"Monster Elvit, why are there so few knights in my husband's court?" Princess Josie asked Monk Elvit with curiosity. In Princess Josie's opinion, no matter which lord, he attached great importance to the knights. The knights wearing heavy armor and riding tall horses were synonymous with strength and the backbone of feudal lords. However, in the observations of these days, Princess Josie found that Aruod's army focused more on civilian training and equipment, especially the strange baojia system.

The degree is more like the conscription system in the barbarian era, and there is also the incongruous German mercenary group. As a noble Count of a county, he actually served as the commander of the mercenary army. For any arrogant nobles, it is simply a humiliation to equate himself with mercenaries. Could it be that the court officials around Arod did not advise, so Arod didn't know this at all. Princess Josie thought it was possible. After all, the Wendel family was just a country gentry.

"Your Highness, we have a church knight order, which is the knight order of the Monks of St. Jom. They stay in their own parish on weekdays, so it is not common. Our own knight order is still being formed, and Lord Earl has his own opinions on this." Monk Elvit quickly explained to Princess Josie.

"Knights? Not fiefs?" Princess Josie felt even more confused. Because the knights of the Principal of Mason have their own fiefs, so when they no longer serve the monarch on weekdays, they would buy weapons from the financial income of the fiefs, or train their servants and soldiers in their fiefs. However, the knights of Aroud seemed to have no such statement at all. A strange building is being built in Mecklenburg Castle, which is said to be for future members of the Knights.

"The Earl believes that the fief is too loose. And if it cannot be hereditary, it will be very troublesome to review every few years. If the hereditary period is long, the land will flow into the hands of others, and the lord cannot recover it, so the Earl will give the knights fief." Monk Elvit explained to Princess Josie.

"Factory?" This was the first time Princess Josie heard this noun. She couldn't help but stop eating and looked at Monk Elvit curiously.

"Yes, the Earl will use the income of a village or several villages as the salary for the knights. The more you contribute, the more villages you can get, and it is also an initiative to separate administrative powers." Monk Elvit said.

"But will the knights agree?" Princess Qiaoxi was very worried that the knights were fighting in the battlefield and demanding land. If there was no land, they would definitely feel dissatisfied.

"I don't know this. Although I have also made suggestions with the Count, it seems that the Count is very confident about it and we are still looking forward to this abilities." Monk Elvit shrugged. Arod's mind was always unique. All he could do was to chase him desperately.

After Princess Qiaoxi finished her meal, the servants immediately packed up the tableware and other things. Part of these tableware was silverware and part of ironware. They were very precious items in this era. They were placed in specially kept cabinets. The tableware manager was counted and managed daily, which could be said to be very organized.

"I thought the court run by men would be a little confused. I didn't expect that Arod's court would be so well-organized?" Princess Josie looked at the servants who were clearly divided and couldn't help but sigh to Monk Elvit.

"Oh, this is all Miss Shirley's credit. These servants were all trained by her." Monk Elvit said to Princess Josie with a smile.

"Miss Shirley? But why didn't I see her?" Princess Qiaoxi asked in surprise.

"This, because Miss Shirley refused to baptism, everyone was reluctant to eat with a pagan, for fear that the soul would not be able to ascend to heaven after being defiled. Generally, Miss Shirley dined in her room." Monk Elvit explained to Princess Josie.

"Is that?" Princess Josie nodded after hearing this. It is indeed a very terrible thing to accommodate heresy in the aristocratic court where religion is above everything else. It is also an ordinary event to be excluded in other aspects. After all, this is a territory filled with pagans not long ago. After using the meal, Princess Josie strolled in this sturdy stone castle. At this time, the bells of the church where the remains of the Virgin Mary were sounded. She remembered that it seemed that the church was once an altar of the Lomva religion, but it was only converted into a church. It was not a real Catholic architectural model at all. Everything here was so novel, completely different from Princess Josie's family castle.

"#￥%%." At this moment, a gardener who was weeding took off his hat and said something to Princess Josie who was walking while being ecstatic.

"Well, what?" Princess Qiaoxi suddenly came to her senses, looked at the gardener who looked like Slav, and she didn't understand what he meant. Only then did she realize that she didn't bring a maid, and there was no one else around her.

"…&*(." The gardener seemed to say something anxiously, and he gestured with his hands from time to time, but Princess Josie became even more panicked. She felt at a loss for the first time.

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter. This gardener said that your beauty is like the flowers he planted in the courtyard." At this moment, a silver bell-like voice rang out. Princess Josie turned around and saw Miss Shirley coming slowly, and said to her with a smile.

"Oh, thank God, thank him for me." Princess Josie breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face. After all, being praised is always a good thing.

"%...&*." Shirley immediately translated to the gardener. After hearing Shirley's words, the gardener showed a gratified smile on his face. He bowed to Princess Josie and turned around to continue working.
