Lineage Matters

"Might I know why the lineage of a Gunsmith matters?" One of the Nobles in the strategy meeting asked.

"Because he turned out five hundred uncommon rifles for the army without a single failure. But more importantly, he might be able to innovate new recipes on his own. His accomplishment for the war effort has been nearly twenty times the required rate, and the merits that he has accumulated will certainly be called in soon.

If he happens to have foreign Noble or Royal blood, it will be of vital importance to our future decisions." The King retorted, as if the man was an idiot.

Princess Alexis smiled softly to herself. Dominic likely didn't even know how many Royal Merits he had accumulated, or what they could be used for. 

If he did, he would have made a request by now, even if it was for additional days off in exchange for his excess production.
