The Six Great Nobles are the nobles who own territories in the Kingdom of Re-Estize. In addition to their territories, they have financial and military power, and one of them has power that surpasses that of the king. They gather at important meetings and have a great influence in political relations. Apart from Marquis Reeven, they are a group of rotten people who only think about protecting themselves. They are the cause of the decay and weakening of the Re-Estize Kingdom.
Main Characters of the Six Great Nobles
Introducing the six members of the Six Great Nobles. In the story, they are introduced from Gasef's point of view, but Gasef himself is an amateur when it comes to politics, so he is not very reliable.
Marquis Brumlashu
He has the most wealth in the Re-Estize Kingdom, even surpassing the king. He is just under 40 years old. He has a fairly well-proportioned face, a slender man with a generous face. He always wears luxurious clothes, so flashy that no one wears more luxurious clothes than him. He has a great desire for money, and there are rumors that he would sell his family and country for money. He actually sells information about the kingdom to the neighboring enemy empire. He has gold mines and mithril mines within his territory. He is such a villain that he is called "the lowest scum" by Marquis Reeven and others.
Marquis Pespea
A beautiful young man who married the eldest daughter of Rampossa III. The youngest of the six great nobles. His father was a very talented man, so it is predicted that he will be just as talented as his father. In fact, at a meeting held before the war with the Empire, he was not afraid to express his opinions to the nobles who were much younger than him. Gazef also highly praised him, and some people said he would be the next king. There is little information about him, and he is young, so we hope to see him do well in the future.
Marquis of Urovana
The oldest of the nobles. His hair is completely white, and there is very little hair left, so he is almost bald. His arms and body are thin and like dead trees, but he does not give the impression of weakness, and he has a dignified presence that is solidly his age. Gazef says that he has the most human charm. He has not appeared much in the past, so there is little information about him.
Marquis of Bourolopu
A nobleman with the widest territory among the six great nobles, and military power that surpasses that of the king. He is about 50 years old and looks old as a general, but he has the dignity of a general who leads his soldiers without showing it. His ability as a general surpasses Gazef. As a veteran warrior, he has countless scars on his face. He is the ruler of the noble faction and he disrespects the king very much. He does not hide his attitude even in front of the king. He married his daughter to the first prince, Barbro. Of course, he is promoting Barbro as the next king.
Earl of Lytton
A nobleman who is inferior in every way among the six great nobles. He has a face that gives the impression of a fox, and is a personality that does not care if others suffer as long as it increases his own value. He is unpopular among the nobles because he blindly tries to increase his own value. He clings to Marquis of Bourolopu and protects himself from the surrounding enemies.
Marquis Reeven

The nobleman with the greatest influence among the Six Great Nobles. He has blonde hair combed back, unhealthy white skin, and a snake-like appearance. He is very smart and intelligent among the nobles. He has a good understanding of the current state of the kingdom, and is disgusted by the corrupt nobles who only think about themselves. He laments the lack of people in the kingdom who can think clearly, and is the person that the second prince Zanac and the third princess Renner can consult with about the future of the kingdom. He loves his children very much, and in front of them, he becomes a doting father to an extent that is unthinkable. He recommends Zanac to be the next king.
Relationship between the noble faction and the king faction
In the kingdom of Re-Estize, there is a king faction and an noble faction (anti-king faction), and the power struggle is endless. The nobles are trying to take over the kingdom by any means possible and try to kick out the king faction. Even though the country's power has declined due to the war, the nobles are not concerned about this and are happy because they think that the decline in national power = the weakening of the king faction. The current king, Rampossa III, is old enough to inherit the throne, but he is holding back because he knows that the first prince, Barbro, is connected to the nobles and will be manipulated by the nobles when he ascends to the throne.
Considering the current state of factional conflict

Thanks to the King's faction's active role in the Gehenna incident in the Kingdom caused by Yaldabaut, the balance of the faction conflict, which had been kept even up until now, seems to have tipped in favor of the King's faction. Furthermore, with the annihilation of the Eight Fingers, the underworld villains who had been greedily plundering the country, and the solution to the drug problem that had been a major issue for the country, it was expected that the country's strength would slowly recover, but the noble faction was clearly at a disadvantage. This was likely due to the rigged match between the extraordinary intellect of the third princess, Renner, and Yaldabout (Demiurge).
Summary of the Relationships Between the Six Great Nobles

What did you think? This time, I introduced the Six Great Nobles. It is very important that the only one who cares about the country is Marquis Reeven, and that the third princess, Lanner, who has an extraordinary brain, is secretly participating in the factional struggle. Of course, the Nazarick side is also involved in this matter. The story after this is told in the novel, but it's going to be amazing, so if you're interested, please read the original novel, or watch the anime season 3, which I think will probably be the third season. That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
