<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">

<p>In the Middle Ages, everyone had a place, like steps on a ladder. This way of organizing people was called the <strong>feudal system</strong>.</p>

<p>At the top was the <strong>king</strong>, who owned all the land. The king gave big pieces of land to <strong>lords</strong> and nobles. In return, the lords promised to be loyal and send knights to fight for the king.</p>

<p>The <strong>knights</strong> protected the lords' lands. At the bottom were the <strong>peasants</strong> — most people were peasants! They farmed the land and gave part of their crops to the lord. In return, the lord kept them safe. Everyone traded work for protection.</p>
