How A Dungeon Master Works

"Your uncles? Aren't they the rest of the Dukes? Wait, they're all your family?!" I wondered.
"Well yes. We all share the same bloodline; they usually don't allow non royalty to become Dukes or Duchesses after all.

He had over ten kids, so he could distribute his reign across his vast Kingdom by setting up fiefdoms for each of them." Julia answered.
"Huh, I see. Are all kingdoms this way?" I wondered.
"The majority, although some others, such as the Holy Empire, work differently, as the territory is controlled by the church of the God of Light, even Head Priests can become majors of large towns, which they need to take care of." Said Julia.
