Lord Raven's Court

Lord Raven's Court

In the year 556 of the Runtallian Calendar, a war broke out in the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Runtallia between the eastern overlord, Duke Gaverone Walruse of Regalia, and the barbarian chief-thane known as Dariun Drunzelle of the Shiradonii tribe, one of the Four Great Tribes of Norsmund, a nation that borders the Kingdom, deemed to be the land of brutes and savages. As the Duke of Regalia marches with his army to defend the disputed land of Kurlon, the barbarians have taken such an opportune moment to launch another incursion near the eastern border of Regalia near the town of Flendle, with the intention of dividing his army. However, despite accepting the town and the surrounding local lords' territories as lost cause in the war in favor of Kurlon– a newly discovered territory bountiful with veins of iron and other minerals– the Duke tasks his third son, Lord Velmund Walruse, along with his retinue, the Order of the Raven Knights, to fend off the attack. Now faced with the plight of defending the border town against a 5,000-strong Norsmundi army with his few yet skilled knights, along with an ill-equipped and undermanned militia, Lord Velmund has no choice but to fulfill his duty as a noble, relying upon his wits and his few but capable retainers to survive his first battle at the tender age of sixteen summers and winters. Contrary to his timid, youthful, and innocent appearance, however, lies his sly and scheming nature, evident by his fondness of dark magical arts specializing in illusion spells. Nevertheless, he himself has no idea of what he is capable of, and what he is destined to become. Meanwhile, further east at the frontier with Norsmund, a plot hatches to ensnare the Duke within the clutches of his treacherous vassals. Not only his life is threatened by these schemes, but his sons Theo and Varus as well. With this scheme put into motion, the Duke and Velmund's siblings, Varus and Theo, would taste fate's twisted humor, with the former meeting his demise in a blaze of glory amidst the field of battle, and the latter two vanishing in incidents shrouded by mysteries. With the death of the patriarch of Regalia and his heirs' disappearance, the young lord who was initially third in line for the succession of the ducal seat became its temporary occupant. And thus, the tale of him and his court begins… CHAPTER RELEASE: January 1st at 12:00 UTC

A '70s Flash Marriage: Raising Cubs, Making Millions

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.

What does the gentry mean?
The gentry was a special class of the landlord class during the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was also known as the "noble family" and "reading". It was a group that was different from the common landlord class. The gentry clans mostly developed with a high-ranking official as their ancestor. However, just having such an ancestor was not enough to become a gentry clan. Their formation and development depended more on the family culture. They relied on poetry, books, rites, and music to pass down their families. There were many cultural celebrities in the history of the family. The gentry were different from the commoners according to their family status. They had different positions in politics, economy, and culture. They were the continuation of the feudal aristocratic hereditary system since the Western Zhou Dynasty.

In the history of China, the so-called gentry, what kind of grand occasion was the gentry at that time?
In Chinese history, the so-called gentry and gentry referred to a group of people with high social status. They had political, economic, and cultural advantages, which had an important impact on political and social development. The formation of gentry and aristocrats could be traced back to the Warring States period, when a hundred schools of thought contended and academic ideas flourished. Some people with special talents and wealth gradually formed small groups called gentry or aristocrats. These aristocratic families had political power, educational resources, and medical resources. At the same time, they also had high cultural cultivation and social status. In the history of China, the gentry and the aristocratic families had once controlled the position of the political and cultural center and had an important dominant force in politics, economy, culture and other aspects. For example, in the Han Dynasty, famous families such as Huo Qubing and Sima Qian not only had political power but also important educational and cultural resources. At the same time, the gentry also controlled educational and medical resources, forming a class similar to the aristocrats. However, with the development of history, the gentry families and gentry gradually lost their status as political and cultural centers, and their social status and influence gradually declined. During the Tang Dynasty, the implementation of the imperial examination system gave more people the opportunity to enter the political field, which also weakened the power of the gentry and aristocratic families to a certain extent. Generally speaking, the gentry and gentry were an influential class in Chinese history. They had political, economic, and cultural advantages, which had an important impact on political and social development.

Was Ji Xiaolan a lackey of the gentry language?
There seems to be no clear background or context to this question, so my answer may not be accurate. However, from what I know about Ji Xiaolan and the gentry, I can explain. Ji Xiaolan was a famous official and writer in the Qing Dynasty. His writing style was humorous and full of personality, which was deeply loved by people. The gentry were the nobles with high status in the court of the Qing Dynasty. They were often called the "gentry class" or "the integration of officials and gentry". Therefore, if someone said that " Ji Xiaolan was the lackey of gentry writing," he might be referring to the similarity between Ji Xiaolan's writing style and gentry writing style, or that Ji Xiaolan, as a member of gentry class, provided him with the convenience of writing or writing. However, this statement was not accurate because Ji Xiaolan herself was not a lackey loyal to the gentry class.
