章 294: Chapter 291: First session of the house of lords I

As customary, the first session of the house of lords was held mid-June that year, the same date for the graduation day in Windsor School for nobles. 

Charlton stood in line on the left amongst all the ministers and vice ministers. In front of him was Leonard who was wearing the same garb as him, red robe with 3 ½ miniver bars and the emblem of their respective ministry embroidered on the left shoulder area.

Last year, the two of them entered the house of lords and were given the position in accordance with their birthright. Except that this time, instead of Charlton becoming the vice minister of defense, he was offered the position of vice minister of works. 

Although vice minister of works seems like a good position, it's not as good as being the vice minister of defense. The reason was that it requires the person in that position to really work. While for defense, the work is easier, and one will also have control to the soldiers under him.
