King-Chapter 1428 - 3: Responsibility

The setbacks faced by the reform are much more than just these. At every high-level meeting, one could hear the complaints of officials in charge of various matters, making Hudson avoid going to the Capital for meetings.

If you can’t provoke it, avoid it!

Since ancient times, political reform has never been bloodless. Frankly speaking, the Kingdom Aristocrats have already given enough face.

The people below are merely engaging in "non-violent non-cooperation" without directly jumping out to oppose the reform.

Referring to a few other countries currently in the reform stage, they are almost on the brink of civil war. Reformists and Conservatives engage in verbal battles upon meeting each other, and conflicts have occurred many times, even leading to fatalities.

Comparing the tragic encounters of these unfortunate peers, Hudson felt that the reformists should secretly rejoice. Although the pace of reform isn’t promising, at least their lives are not threatened!

If you don’t seek trouble, there won’t be any trouble. The biggest benefit of being the Front-line Commander is that you can always find an excuse not to attend meaningless activities.

The covert struggles happening in the Capital, Hudson simply pretended not to see. To avoid getting involved, he even used the excuse of family special training to recall the family descendants in the Capital.

On the vast grasslands, a group of people in uniform clothing were sweating profusely as they trained.

From teenagers to elderly men with white hair, people of all ages were present. The scene appeared humorous, yet it was particularly serious.

The golden wind has not yet moved, the cicada senses it first!

Reason told Hudson that the peaceful coexistence between the reformists and conservatives is unsustainable. As the reform continues to advance, the two sides will inevitably clash sooner or later.

In the past, the Koslow Family was a weak chicken, going with the flow was enough, and standing out could lead to a quicker death.

Now it’s different, with Hudson’s rise, he has also supported numerous clansmen along the way. The advantage of a prosperous population quickly came into play.

The Knight team being trained before them numbered more than a regiment. In any place, it’s quite a significant force.

During the chaotic moment of the struggle between the reformists and conservatives, betrayal and defection will become the norm in politics. Truly reliable are one’s own people.

To enhance the family’s strength, Hudson didn’t hesitate to spend heavily. He gathered all the knights from various major branches of the clan for special training, preparing a large amount of auxiliary training resources.

Of course, family training is not without cost. Those who take the family-provided resources must work for the family.

As for those elderly with white hair, they are the clan’s elders. In their younger days, they were hindered by lack of knowledge and resources and couldn’t become Strongmen, but they had the heart to become stronger.

Normally, large families would invest their limited resources in the younger generation with more potential, but the Koslow Family’s situation is unique.

The most valuable training resources are provided by Hudson’s Magic Potion, which doesn’t have a high actual cost, increasing a few more is not an issue.

These expenses are also not wasted, having the clan elders train alongside ensures that the youngsters do not dare to slack off.

The goal is singular, to cultivate a core force in the shortest time possible.

Not far from the training camp, there’s a children’s training camp with even more people.

That’s the family’s future which Hudson has always greatly valued. Since compulsory education couldn’t be popularized throughout the territory, it would be popularized within the family.

In the era of family rule, promoting clan members is also a morally virtuous act, except that the Koslow Family has slightly more population.

Watching Little Franz sweat profusely while training with the team, Hudson couldn’t help but smile. The once rebellious boy ultimately paid the price for his youthful ignorance.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is the noble heir of the Lord; at home, he is a struggling student.

Every day, besides Knight training, there are numerous academic lessons. Even hoping for a day off is a luxury.

Protesting is useless, direct heirs of Major Nobles all undergo similar rigorous education.

It’s quite burdensome when you think about it, not lagging behind peers in cultivation while excelling in academic performance is a necessity.

Especially regarding courses on political intrigue, which are the primary focus of study, leaving no weak points is essential.

Mainly, he’s still young, when he gets a bit older, subjects on military command will also be arranged.

The effect is very apparent, the child who once threatened to run away from home now has no time for mischief.

Frankly speaking, for an eight-year-old child, this kind of education is extremely harsh.

But there’s no choice, enjoying the lavish life of Noble Children naturally requires having the power to protect it all.

Of course, if you told this to Little Franz, he would definitely protest strongly.

Growing up, he hasn’t known what the lavish life of Noble Children is like, especially after enrollment.

Besides having ample training resources and receiving more attention from teachers, there’s not much difference from other classmates within the family.

For the sake of Little Franz’s normal growth, his identity was kept hidden during enrollment. In the eyes of classmates, he was merely a branch child of the Koslow Family, coming from an overseas branch.

During regular times, he ate communal meals with all students and slept on the hard-board beds in dormitories. After finally reaching the weekend, he still had to return home for extra lessons with a private tutor.

Being able to consistently excel, others think he is extremely gifted, but only Little Franz himself knows how much effort has been put in behind the scenes.

In a sense, the classmates who entered the "elite class" with him were riding on his coattails, only then having the opportunity to come into contact with the secretive knowledge of the Major Nobles.
