Chapter 195: (Self Edited) Orlon Boff
The Boff Household was a relatively new household as a General household. The current Boff Household’s territory was established about two hundred years ago, after which it had been under the control of a General household called the Mulan Household.
At that time, the head of the Mulan Household was a man named Aaron Mulan, who was somewhat hot-blooded and prided himself on being outspoken and unrestrained. The queen at that time was a narrow-minded woman with a slight inclination towards Witches and a dislike for masculine culture.
During a night gathering at the royal castle, the two got into an argument. According to legend, Aaron Mulan greatly enjoyed a troubadour’s song that happened to be performed that day, drank heavily, and lost his temper. The queen reproached him for his behavior, which was deemed an insult that went too far. Subsequently, they started a quarrel that left other attendees pale-faced.
At that time, there was no one in the royal family to mediate the situation, so Aaron Mulan returned angrily to his own territory to the north.
Afterward, the queen sent the Queen’s sword to the Mulan Household in an attempt to assassinate the head of the household. When that failed, the head raised an army, marched south, and defeated the royal guard. Though their invasion was swift, they struggled to take the royal castle, and before they could act, the military of the Noza Household, who had promptly responded, arrived over the pass.
The Mulan army, exhausted from the battle with the royal guards, decided to avoid a decisive battle and instead attempted an assault on the Queen Castle Island. Despite sending eagles to attack the royal castle, they faced a heavily fortified defense, and success seemed unlikely. Ultimately, they failed and were taken down by the royal guard.
The Mulan Household was dissolved, and the Noza family received the Order of the Star for their achievements.
While the Mulan Household made a grave mistake at the end, they had generally governed their territory well and were highly respected. Despite losing the war quickly and with minimal damage to their land, many residents who admired the Mulan Household harbored resentment towards the royal family.
As a result of various negotiations, a member of the esteemed Noza family was granted a branch family to inherit the Mulan territory. The new head was the younger brother of the then-Noza Household head. However, the condition was that he marry the youngest daughter of the Mulan family to ensure the continuation of their bloodline.
