Chapter 1314 The Worries of the Risa Family

Unfortunately, Duke Cavie was ultimately tricked by a certain magician and left. However, even if he had stayed, the Risa family suddenly ascended together, but there were still a lot of things to deal with for the other surviving members.
在里萨家被一锅端的当下，反应最快的人是谁？
答：原里萨家的封臣们。
所谓的封建贵族们可不是满口仁义道德，实则男盗女娼的黑社会呀。老大死求了，小弟就能争上位吗？想太多。他们更有技术含量一些，当然也有些规矩必须要遵守，尽管从结论来看，跟黑社会也差不多。
If such a tragedy of sealing Jun and his family to death happens normally, everyone would obediently stay in their own fields to cultivate their skills. Whatever they do on weekdays, they still do it now, at most secretly making some extra money, and then waiting for a higher-level response. After all, their own sealed Jun has his sealed Jun, which is the emperor of the Gewana Empire.
遇上这种事情，真的没有他们置喙的余地。最多就是趁着空窗期，抢占各地的利益。要是到时候被过继来，继承爵位的人，不是众人可以认同的对象，当然就想办法架空对方。假如是个愿意对话的人，那当然就是坐下来好好商量啰。
But what is the current situation? For the purpose of taxation and conscription, and to defend the various key points within the territory, not only are the common people living in dire straits, but these nobles are also suffering greatly. Moreover, outside, there are the imperial war gods, wielding the power of new war tools to intimidate people. It can be said that as soon as a war is started, everything will be in ruins, and this is a common understanding among everyone.
Not to mention the entire Lisa family being wiped out, there were also a number of generals who were subordinate to the Lisa family who died. These people also had identities as nobles of varying sizes from all over the place. These were not insignificant individuals, but rather the important core of various families. With so many dying at once, the smaller families attached to the Lisa family would not only lose half their lives, but also suffer from serious injuries.
```htmlUnder the pressure from both internal and external forces, the struggle for survival hangs by a thread. Although the feudal lord in question is not my feudal lord, at such times, Duke Lissa must rely on the greatest noble of the empire, namely the emperor, to intervene.```
Because no one dares to disband the army at will, everyone disperses and goes home. What if Count Cavendish attacks? Then it will really be like entering a no man's land.
Should we continue to hold up and wait for the high-level officials such as the Emperor and the Grand Duke to calmly discuss and come up with a conclusion before dealing with the follow-up? By then, everyone may have held on until they die, and there is no need to go home, and they can be buried on the spot.
So Chenqing's letters, like snowflakes, surged towards the imperial city of Nineveh. The messenger who delivered the letters never knew how many horses he had exhausted.
Not only the emperor, but also other nobles within the empire were concerned about this matter. The emperor's ban not only harmed the two dukes, but also had some impact on other nobles. Therefore, restoring the situation as soon as possible is a desirable outcome for everyone. Even better, taking advantage of this situation to gain some benefits.
The first question that everyone must face is whether this battle will still continue. However, upon closer examination, the conclusion is not difficult to obtain.
Caviar Lord raises the blood flag for revenge. Perhaps not many people know the exact details, but everyone is very clear about the rules regarding avenging the blood flag.
The reason that is known to everyone is that the members of the Lisa family offended Duke Cavendish, and the Duke raised the blood banner. The meaning of this blood banner is: don't even think about intervening or trying to reconcile, because I won't stop until I kill this person.
During the process, if we seize or occupy anything, it is all in service of our ultimate goal: to destroy the Lissa family. After the war, the movable spoils of war can be taken without anyone questioning it, and there is no need to check. However, when it comes to immovable property, we have to see if the emperor recognizes our claim. Everyone can see the regulations if they have their eyes open.
The problem is, what if all the members of the Lissa family are blessed by the gods, how do we fight against them? There's no one left to seek revenge against with the blood flag. What revenge would we seek?
If we still insist on fighting, looting, and occupying at this point, it's obviously not under the pretext of seeking revenge with the blood flag, but simply an act of aggression. However, aggression is not supported or recognized in this era of confusion.
There are so many unclaimed wilderness areas, so use your skills to drive away the demons and beasts and start exploring. Why bully fellow humans who are struggling to survive? This is the general understanding of the current era in the world of MiDi.
So this battle is definitely not going to happen. But how it will end, everyone is curious.
From the emperor's standpoint, he cannot accept that nothing has changed and simply restore the situation where Carveygon had already raised the blood banner. If the old emperor doesn't do anything, it's like being played by two dukes. Therefore, he must have an attitude. Not to mention the fact that the Theresa family is completely ruined.
But the problem lies here. If it follows the normal process and two families fight until only one is left, then as the emperor, it is reasonable to step in and handle the aftermath.
```htmlSee if the losers still have any fighting spirit left, and what their attitude is like. If they have a good attitude and can be loyal lapdogs, then protect them and let them keep a breath. It's enough to chop off the main culprits, no need to exterminate everyone.```
要是被打烂了，没有扶植的价值，那就会成为众多豺狼眼中的盛宴。当然，每一只豺狼想咬下一口肉之前，都必须给他这只狼王上供。否则没有法理认可，谁都无法吞下咬在嘴边的肉。而所谓的法理，不就是他这个皇帝点头的事情。
However, the current situation is that the Risa family's territory and strength are largely intact. The crucial bloodline that maintains the entire family's influence is now completely gone, including the leaders. The Kavi family is also fully prepared and in its prime. How can this unprecedented situation be properly handled?
过去的皇帝之所以可以苛刻行事，也是占着两个家族差不多打了个稀烂，没有力气应对皇帝的要求，所以才能让他们任凭处置。
The current situation is that if we make overly demanding requests, they have been preparing for more than half a year and have complete strength. At the same time, if they turn their guns towards someone else's head, whoever they hit will have their head split open and their blood flowing. Even the emperor of the empire is not an exception.
What should be done about this, even the old emperor can't think of a good solution.
Just as the emperor felt troubled, other nobles of all sizes, including the former Risa family's vassals, were anxious. Count Kavi brought his heir, Viscount Nornan Farsheed, and the two of them entered the Nineveh Imperial City in a simple carriage.
尽管皇帝有针对两个大公爵家族下达相关禁令，但可没有禁止他们待在皇城里。之前卡维家族的人逃离，那也是因为皇城中，里萨家族的势力大过他们，为了保存继承人的性命，所以才逃掉的。之后留在卡维家宅邸里的人被杀个精光，纯粹是里萨公的发泄举动而已。
如今他们回来，当然不怕有谁能威胁他们。之前里萨家的举动，其他贵族就算没偏帮，也都可以算是默许了那样的行为。如今里萨家的人死绝，其他贵族怎么可能继续去帮死人。他们释出善意，求取卡维公的谅解都来不及了。
不过其他贵族的小心思没能实现。当卡维公跟法尔希德侯爵两父子一进入皇城后，就被皇帝召见了。是说对老公爵而言，就算皇帝不召见他，他也会主动求见的。
The Duke's Guards were left outside the palace as the father and son duo of Duke Cavie and his son were led by the royal guard straight to the old emperor's study. The choice of the meeting place here is evidence of the old emperor's continued trust in Duke Cavie.
进到书房内，三人一见面，卡维公两父子还没行礼，老皇帝就先推出了一封烫金的文书出来，问：”这个东西是什么意思，好好给我解释一下。”
Upon seeing it, the Duke realized that the letter was an application for the transfer of his own title.
Although the transfer of the title of the grand Duke Carvi to his son had already been announced in his own family, it was not considered official until the emperor recognized it.
封爵这档子事，可不是私相授受能被认可的。最终还是得要他们名义上的封君公开授爵，否则就不能在公开场合使用新头衔称呼。言不正，名不顺，这对贵族来说可是个大忌讳。
Facing the interrogation of the emperor, Duke Cavie had no fear and directly answered, "Your Majesty, you are also aware of my situation. Do you expect me to hold onto the title of Grand Duke until my great-grandchild or even my great-great-grandchild? Even if you can tolerate it, can your successor? It's better for everyone if I take the initiative to step down instead of occupying the position and causing annoyance. "
卡维公是个超凡者，意味着他的寿限将不同于普通人的情形。尽管增加多少，没有一个定数，但肯定能活得比一般人还要长。
```htmlThis kind of person, in the aristocratic circle, if their status is the most prestigious, then it's fine; but if their status is humble, belonging to the lower ranks of the aristocracy, then in the eyes of the great aristocrats, they are just a larger cannon fodder, slightly higher than commoners. But if the extraordinary individual is a great aristocrat, then the situation is completely different.```
Their influence needs no further explanation. For those sitting on the throne of the emperor, such people are not to be killed but at least need to be removed, otherwise nothing can be accomplished.
Think about when an emperor is governing, and he has several generations of spirited old ministers by his side. Especially when he looks around and sees that all those standing with him in the palace are his juniors. Without even using force, simply based on seniority, he can criticize anyone he wants. Can he still govern like this? No matter what you do, the worst thing is to encounter someone who relies on old age to make a living.
So Carver Gund's reason is that, after achieving the status of a Transcendent, he was destined to face the inevitable future. It's just a matter of when.
