"Yes, that's right. The details vary from period to period. But it seems that there was a division into a higher nobility and a lower nobility, with the king at the top. The higher nobles participated in politics, while the lower nobles were mainly in charge of practical affairs. I think that the Fontana family will make its kingdom management based on them, is that correct?"

Master Garod will take the throne, but even as king, he will be expected to uphold the Fontana Charter. From now on, the Kingdom of Fontana will be centered not on powerful men, but on the rules of the Kingdom."

"That's right. Fontana will be a kingdom from now on, but the road ahead is not easy. We will probably have to face many noble families and even the royal family. And to overcome them, it is not enough just to win the battles. I think we need to increase our allies.

"I agree, Leon. We may fight with the rival nobles, but it would be better to bring the best people and the most powerful forces into Fontana, preferably by means of a strategy. In that sense, is it significant that the Fontana Charter is already in place and clearly protects the rights of the people?

"I think so. If the aristocratic families who now have their own lands are considering whether or not to return to the Fontana, they will be more likely to side with the Fontana if there are rules that guarantee their lands, rights, and properties. The Fontana Charter will surely help the kingdom."

Although it is a monopoly of an extraordinary position that controls both the civil and military authorities, the people around me agreed that I should be in this position because the king, Garod, is very young and it would be meaningless to talk with the royal family without such a position if I wanted to talk with them as an equal.
