Chapter 901
Chapter 901
Although this is the case in most countries, the nobles of the empire seem to be more obvious.
It seems that if it weren't for the fact that the commoners need to pay taxes and provide them with a rich life as a guarantee, they would want to remove all these annoying "things".
When these commoners see their nobles go out, they all lower their heads and dare not look into each other's eyes. If they notice the other's sight, they will even turn their heads to try to reduce their presence and not let the other see their faces.
They look like they are afraid that these nobles will be interested in them, as if their lives or safety will be threatened if they make these nobles unhappy.
A girl in the town attracted Irena's attention. She was dressed in plain cloth, but her blue hair was very beautiful. At first glance, she looked like a daughter of the sea. The charm she exuded was much more than that of ordinary people.
But from the humble attitude of the other party, it was obvious that she was just an ordinary person in the town. When facing the nobles going out, she would be afraid to subconsciously look away.
However, she was still noticed. A noble young master noticed her presence. Seeing the other party's delicate little face, lust and other things suddenly surged up.
With a lewd smile on his face, the noble young master pulled his collar, as if he was hot at the moment.
"Hey, the blue-haired one over there!"
Ignoring the sight of the surroundings, the noble young master called out directly, and walked forward while shouting.
"No... It's not me... It's not me!"
When she heard the other party's voice, the blue-haired girl hurriedly shook her head, but she was the only one with blue hair on the street, and her appearance was so outstanding that everyone knew that she was being targeted by the noble masters.
The empire attaches great importance to identity. People with noble blood can exercise privileges in many places, especially the local nobles, most of whom have close relations with local managers.
The public security and even management of a town may be managed by one family. Even if the relationship is a little distant, they are all relatives after all.
That is to say, if the young nobleman in front of him wanted to make trouble, even if it was not allowed by the imperial law, he could suppress it with his connections as long as the trouble was not too big.
For example, if he kidnapped a girl from a commoner family, he would give some compensation or find a nice excuse afterwards, and no one would bother them at all.
"Why not you? I never thought that among you lowly commoners, there would be such a lovely girl like you. It's wronged for you to fish and farm for your family. Come with me and enjoy life!"
Although he was called a nobleman, this young man did not have any etiquette that a noble should have. His words were rude and impolite, and his hands were even more violent. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the other's wrist tightly. The blue-haired girl wanted to break free but couldn't.
"No, I don't want to go back with you!"
"Stop making so much noise. It's your blessing that I like you. What qualifications do you, a commoner, have to say no in front of me?!"
He had no patience at all. Seeing the other party resist so fiercely and making a scene in front of so many people, the noble young master felt very embarrassed.
In order to make the other party quiet down, he raised his right hand high, and it was obvious that he wanted to slap him.
"Stop it!!!"
At this moment, Serita, who was watching from the side, couldn't help it. She put down the small gift in her hand, turned around, and walked over with a frown.
"Huh? Who the hell are you?"
The noble young master was stunned for a moment, and slowly turned his head to look at Serita who was walking slowly, with an unbelievable look on his face, as if he didn't expect that someone would dare to scold him in such an occasion.
"Hey, take a closer look at your face. You look pretty good. You seem to be a local of our empire, right? Why do you want to come and fight for your sister when she is bullied? If you are really worried about this guy, I can accept you to go with me instead of her."
The way he speaks is just like a gangster. He is called a noble, but to put it bluntly, he is just a lazy guy who is idle all day long.
With their lives guaranteed, they have no intention of working hard. They just want to sit back and wait for death to inherit the family business.
"Shut up! Are you still a noble of the empire? We nobles should regard ourselves as proud and reject anything that violates the morality of the nobility.
As a leader with a status far superior to others, our duty is to lead ordinary people to the light. Bullying the weak is not what nobles should do!"
Selita shouted loudly. Although the Duke's family did not look much better, fromShe has received orthodox aristocratic education since she was young, and her values are still very positive. It can even be said that her sense of justice is almost overflowing.
"You...you are also a noble?"
The noble young master, who was shocked by Serita's momentum, asked with some fear. He had seen the great nobles in the imperial capital.
Some nobles have the same temperament as Serita in front of them, full of integrity and momentum, and are not at the same level as these country nobles.
"Listen carefully, you guy, I am the daughter of the Duke's family, the only daughter of Lord Anderson, and my name is Serita!"
Although she did not have a good relationship with her father, Serita was still full of pride when she introduced herself.
Most of the nobles in the empire are like her, and they are very proud of their identity, but real nobles will not be inflated because of their own nobility, thinking that they are superior and can bully the weak at will.
This is also the reason why the empire was so strong in the past. The nobles were honest and friendly. Even though they were fundamentally different from the common people, the whole country was still twisted together, and its strength would naturally become stronger because of unity.
But now the empire has somewhat declined, and the quality of the nobles has declined a lot compared to before, which is also one of the reasons.
Now the contradiction between the common people and the nobles in the empire can be said to be very large. There are even rumors that there is an organization composed of common people in the empire. Their purpose is to overthrow this country ruled by the nobles and build an ideal country where common people can also preside over everything.
But the strength of this organization is very poor. The conditions for the common people to grow up are not as good as those of the nobles. It is not a simple thing to resist these powerful nobles.
Even in the eyes of most nobles, this organization is simply a farce made by "children". They are not in their eyes at all and do not take this group of people seriously.
