"Why?"
Colin immediately asked.
Queen Midela did not answer this question. Instead, she counter asked, "Do you know why the Holy Chapman Family is the only one in the Gloriant Empire that does not possess a fiefdom?"
Colin frowned, although he didn't understand the purpose of Queen Midela's question, he still patiently answered:
"Should this be because the royal family was worried that the St. Chapman Family would become too powerful after becoming the empire guardians, and therefore limited their right to own a fiefdom?"
Queen Midela shook her head slowly, "No, you have misunderstood the cause and effect.
The Knight Family did not lose their right to own a fiefdom after becoming the empire guardians. Rather, they did not have a fiefdom from the very beginning, enabling them to gain the complete trust of the Royal Family and endowed them with the power to be the guardians of the empire. "
