Sinclairmon's voice carried through the hall, and quite a few people nodded.
The Empire was indeed strict when it came to the inheritance of noble titles. There was no room for the slightest violation.
Cao Hongtu had only been acting as Baron for so long because of this. He had to earn sufficient merits on the battlefield before he could truly inherit the Baron Title.
