As a noble of the territory, the most important thing is the land itself. Once you lose the territory, the nobility not only loses the source of power but also loses the future.
The Kingdom can hardly offer you another territory, and it's difficult to acquire a new one.
For a Pioneer Lord, aspiring to rise in nobility requires more than just accolades; it also necessitates having land.
One hundred merits can earn you the title of Baron of the Kingdom.
But that's only if you possess a territory.
Once you lose your territory, not to mention a hundred merits, even ten thousand merits might not be enough to earn you the status of a land-owning noble, at most a court noble.
Such an outcome is not something every lord can accept.
So, if there's even a bit of possibility, they would not easily give up.
But this may not necessarily be an opportunity.
A Divine Revelation is about to begin.
Even if the Kingdom can stop it.
Even if it can snuff out losses in the bud.
