Negotiation

Two weeks had passed since the attack George dealt with had happened.

During these two weeks, many things happened in the Kingdom of Eastshire, which had become a hot topic to all the students in the academy.

Langston’s father, Zack Kerr, had been demoted from Duke to a Marquess. Some of their lands and properties were also confiscated by the Kingdom, forcing Langston to keep a very low profile in the academy.

Since Noble Households had several factions, those who opposed the faction of Langston’s family were happy to hear about Zack Kerr’s downfall.

Several other nobles had also been demoted in Rank.

Those who held the titles of Marquess were demoted to Earl, and Earls were demoted into Viscounts.

Viscounts became Barons, and Barons had lost their hereditary title. This meant that after the current Baron died, his family would no longer be part of the Nobility and would have no choice but to live as members of the common folk.
