Conquering OtherWorld Starts With a Game Chapter 157: War Rights

Young Master Parker was the third son of Count Odysse, overshadowed by his accomplished elder brother and sister.

His brother, a young man revered in the high society of the Rhine Kingdom, had already been capable of handling the family business at Parker's age. His sister, celebrated as the foremost female official in the east, served as the city administrator of the largest city in Odysse territory.

Despite the Rhine Kingdom's tendency to undervalue women, the doors of power were never closed to elite women. Women of high society, if sufficiently capable, could secure bureaucratic positions and even contest for inheritance rights with family support.

Growing up with such distinguished siblings, Parker never faced significant pressure. His father, Count Odysse, had always vacillated between his talented eldest son and his politically gifted daughter, barely considering his youngest child for any critical role.

Even so, being the son of a count, Parker had developed a sharper political sense than most minor nobles. He found Yang Qiu's proposition absurd. Seeing Yang's determination to persuade them, Parker mustered his courage to respond tactfully, "Respected Yang, I do agree with your perspective… Charlie Rex is an exemplary lord, and my cousin Dart speaks highly of Weisshem's transformation.

"However, Weisshem, being a small town, is quite different from a barony or county like Indahl. Perhaps Charlie needs more time to familiarize himself with governing a territory before considering further steps… It would be more appropriate. That's my opinion, at least…"

Parker's suggestion was as diplomatic as possible. Charlie Rex, an illegitimate child not recognized by the Rex family, had no standing to compete with the Bartalis family for Indahl.

Even if the Rex family acknowledged and accepted Charlie Rex, he would still lack the credentials to contest; a peripheral figure like him had no right to instigate a territorial war. Expecting the Odysse family to support such a figure was utterly unrealistic!
