Mage Veigar

Chapter 483 Reward
Time comes the next day.

At the court meeting that day, under Vega's special arrangement, a minister reported to Xia, hoping that Xia could reward Vega and his party according to their merits, and attached the main details of the reward.

Article 1 of the Rules.

Invite Veigar to join the Holy Dynasty nationality and grant Veigar first-class citizenship.

Article 2 of the Rules.

Vega was dismissed from his post as military ambassador, but was granted the rank of five-star general of the Holy Dynasty, and served as the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the dynasty, in charge of all military affairs inside and outside the dynasty.

Article 3 of the Rules.

In addition to being the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he was also appointed as the prime minister of the dynasty, in charge of all government affairs of the dynasty.

Article 4 of the Rules.

Menno and Ilo were invited to join the dynasty's nationality, granted first-class citizenship, and conferred the title of honorary marquis. Ilo temporarily took over the position of minister of the six ministries of the dynasty, and Menno served as the dynasty's official intelligence minister. The name of Celis did not appear at all.

Article 5 of the Rules.

……

It took a full hour to read out all the details. Vega not only took control of the dynasty's military and political power, but also placed his own people in all the important positions.

The advantage of doing this is.

Even if one day Xia suddenly ceased to be innocent and wanted to leave him behind and take control of the government again, she would not be able to do anything, because no one in the court would obey Xia's orders, they were all Vega's men.

But Xia obviously doesn't have this plan now.

After listening to the details of the minister's reward, he even blamed Vega for being too little, and at Xia's request, he was ready to give Vega the surname "Saint Laurent".

When Xia said this, a minister on the edge of power stood up.

He first glanced at Vega, and then said, "I don't mean to offend Lord Vega, but Your Majesty still needs to think twice about this matter. Saint Laurent is the national surname. Apart from the royal family, it has only been given to the star magician Lord Okasos Saint Laurent so far. If you rashly give this surname to Lord Vega, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing."

The Holy Dynasty has always attached great importance to bloodline.

Whether it is the city of Saint Laurent or the surname Saint Laurent, it is a kind of belief in the eyes of the subjects of the entire dynasty. Everyone with the surname Saint Laurent can get absolute love and respect.

It is precisely because of the particularity of these three words.

If it is casually placed on an ordinary person, it will not only not become a glory, but will instead lead to disaster.

Now Vega does have considerable prestige in the dynasty, but the extent of this prestige remains to be verified. Whether it is a blessing or a curse to be given this surname at this time is also an unknown.

Because this surname can be said to be a double-edged sword.

If Vega could obtain this surname and gain the recognition of the people, then his prestige would certainly rise to a higher level immediately, and more people in the dynasty would recognize Vega. This is just like the star magician Ocasos Saint Laurent, who was regarded as a guest of honor wherever he went and could gather an army with just a few words.

But what if it doesn’t gain public approval?
Not to mention being labeled as overestimating his own capabilities, the prestige that Vega had worked so hard to build up would suddenly collapse. This blow would be absolutely irreversible, and there would even be rumors that Vega was overpowering his master and threatening the king.

This is not alarmist.

It is like a small clerk being promoted to the president of a country in one step. Even if he has the ability to be the president, the people do not think he is worthy of the title of president. This is obviously a curse rather than a blessing.

Vega frowned.

In the end, just to be on the safe side, he rejected Xia. After all, there was no need to risk such a surname just to enhance some insignificant prestige: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but we'll have to think about this matter in the long run."

"I understand." Xia wanted to refute the minister's answer, but she stopped immediately after hearing Vega's words.

So the court meeting ended in such a dull manner.

However, when the official announcement came out, officials of all ranks from all over the Holy Dynasty saw through the mystery at the first time. They understood that the dynasty had changed from today, and Vega, a foreigner, had become the real master of the dynasty.

This is extremely bad news for the loyal old aristocrats.

However, for officials who were born into common families and were proud of their talents, this was great news. Vega's promotion to power meant that they had the possibility to display their ambitions, as could be seen from the fact that Vega abolished the system of rank based on bloodline and class.

The news of Vega's coming to power was both good and bad for officials and nobles, and caused quite a stir.

However, this piece of news is insignificant to ordinary people. It is like a change of prime minister in a country, which has no impact on the lives of ordinary people. At best, it is just a topic of conversation after dinner.

in other words.

Vega's image is not yet well known throughout the dynasty. This popularity is centered on the Saint Laurent defense system. The influence becomes weaker and weaker as it spreads outward, and is even less prestigious than his prestige on the West Coast.

Although Vega's new position did not attract the attention of the common people, the next day, another piece of news released by the Holy Dynasty officials shocked the whole country -

Shia Saint Laurent.

Their Queen is officially engaged to Admiral Vega, and they are scheduled to get married on the 15th of next month.

a bolt from the blue!

In the eyes of the subjects of the entire dynasty, Xia is the embodiment of an angel. Coupled with her beautiful appearance and kind heart, if she were on Earth, she would be an idol beyond the level of an international superstar. And now their goddess is getting married?

"Who is it? Who is worthy of our Queen?"

“Hasn’t the official said it’s Admiral Vega?”

"Who is Admiral Vega?"

“You don’t even know Lord Vega? Where in the mountains and forests did you come from?”

“You are talking about General Vega, who defeated the Kingdom’s army, suppressed the rebellion of the Crown Prince, wiped out the Empire’s invaders, and recovered the vast land of our west coast when the dynasty was about to collapse. He made the great powers turn pale when they talked about him and tremble in fear when they saw him?”

"That's him, right? The battle with Saint Laurent is still vivid in my mind today."

"What's Saint Laurent? Didn't you see how General Vega beat the Imperial Army on the West Coast without any chance of fighting back?"

"The battle of Saint Laurent is a battle of glory. West Coast barbarians, do you know what Saint Laurent is?!"

"..."

As the news of his engagement and upcoming marriage became public, Vega's personal deeds gradually became known to the entire dynasty, and his prestige was no longer limited to the Saint Laurent defense system and the entire West Coast, but radiated throughout the country.

At the same time, with the efforts of the Mennonite navy.

The question of whether Vega is worthy of Shia has gradually changed from 55-37 to 3-7. Of course, of them are opponents, while are supporters. If the current situation continues, it is estimated that it will become a one-sided trend by next month.

But the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.

The marriage between Vega and Shia is not only under pressure from within the country. The Empire and the Kingdom definitely do not want Vega and Shia to get married, and Vega, who can revitalize the dynasty, will continue to expand his influence.
