Chapter 189
The Meaning of Disposition (4)
......In the Empire, it always seemed like there were many nobles and not many nobles at the same time.
The south, annexed relatively recently, had fewer nobles. But in the west and east, where tradition and history ran deep, quite a few old houses remained.
Bernhardt also came from one of those long-established native noble families in the west.
Still, while growing up in the west, one phrase followed him everywhere: "central nobles."
To provincial nobles, central nobles were always a vague fantasy, and at the same time, something that stirred a strange resentment.
The central nobles Bernhardt met at the academy and in the military were different from the start, beginning with how they spent money, with that head-to-toe ornamental vanity.
To be honest, a lot of it was fucking irritating.
Groundless confidence. Bluster soaked into their bones. A vulgar superiority complex.
