The direct-control provinces of the Imperial Empire are akin to the Duke Domain held by the Emperor, similar in size, with the larger ones spanning over ten thousand square kilometers and the smaller ones a few thousand square kilometers, not fixed.
Not just the Emperor's lineage expanded with time, but also tens of thousands of Nobles, often accompanied by fierce land annexations during this process.
The history of Baron Cosia's Territory can be traced back to 500 years ago. Whether any embellishment was involved, Ticky did not know, as his father never told him. But one thing is for certain: their history is absolutely much older than that of Baron Devor, who squeezed him out of the Holy City!
Even in the documented genealogies, the Devor family was originally the house servants of the Cosia family... only that the former had long disavowed it.
Ticky actually didn't mind this, after all, he had personally seen a Demon King from Hell packaging himself as an ancient Noble.
