It was not until midnight that Enleco returned to the Sophien Kingdom Mission. Originally, he wanted to sneak back to his dormitory quietly, but he did not expect that it was so late, but the residence was still brilliant and many people were busy. Coming and going.
As soon as Enleco entered the courtyard, the knight on guard stopped him and conveyed the princess's will to Enleco, asking Enleco to go see her immediately.
If there is anyone in this world that Enleco does not want to see the most, it is Her Royal Highness the Princess. But despite this, Enleco did not have the guts to disobey Her Royal Highness the Princess's will. So Enleco had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the door of the princess's palace.
Today's mission was surprisingly busy, and even Her Royal Highness the Princess was no exception. It was already so late, but the princess's palace was still bright and clear. Royal knights from the Kingdom of Sophie were standing everywhere around the palace, and all the doors and windows in the palace were tightly closed, and even the curtains were pulled down.
When Enleco walked into the corridor, the knight standing guard in front of the princess's palace had already seen him. Therefore, when Enleco walked to the door, the door opened automatically. It was completely different from usual. The people waiting in the princess's palace were not the maids. On the contrary, the people standing in the palace were all the royal family. A senior member of the Knights.
In the middle of the dormitory, there is a long table. This table was not originally part of the dormitory. It seems that it was moved from somewhere.
At one end of the table sat Her Royal Highness the Princess, and at the other end belonged to Joe. On one side of the table by the door sat Jerry and several senior clerks, on the other side sat His Royal Highness the Prince and the Mados magician. In front of each of them was a stack of documents piled high.
Hao Meng and Kate stood on both sides of the princess from beginning to end. In addition to helping Her Royal Highness organize the pile of documents, they also had to answer questions raised by Her Royal Highness from time to time.
Her Highness the Princess today is very different from usual. She has a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose, her hair is casually spread behind her back, and she always holds a quill in her hand, constantly writing something on those documents. Instead of always carrying a feather folding fan as usual.
On the other side, Joe was serious and focused on the pile of documents in front of him. To be honest, the pile in front of him was the largest pile of documents on the table. There was a row of seals placed on his left hand, which were officially authorized by the Kingdom of Sophie. These seals were definitely not light. On his right hand are several pens of different colors. From time to time, Joe would pick up one of the pens to revise the document, and then throw it aside. For those documents that he approved, Joe would place the document as an official document on the bank in front of him. In the quality tray.
The documents in the tray were handed over to His Highness the Prince and Magician Mados who were sitting on the side for further review. In Enleco's opinion, His Highness the Prince was the most irresponsible person here. Every time he They always took a serious look and handed it over to Mados for processing. Enleco even suspected that His Royal Highness the Prince had not read those documents completely. Without the help of Magician Mados to handle this part of the work, Enleco doubted what kind of flaws there would be in these documents.
Magician Mados was quite conscientious. He carefully reviewed each document from beginning to end, then filed and sorted the documents into several piles. Of course, Magician Mados sometimes has different views on the content of a certain document. Whenever this happens, he will put the document aside and put a bookmark in the document. List your own opinions above. The document will immediately be transferred back to Joe, waiting for further processing by Joe.
The sorted and archived documents will be passed to Her Highness the Princess for final review. Her Highness the Princess is far more responsible than her brother. Not only does she review every document They have to examine it carefully, and if they don't understand something, they will ask Hao Meng and Kate standing next to them. If these two people are also unable to answer, then Her Royal Highness the Princess will turn to Magician Mados for an accurate answer.
For those documents that had no doubts and had been carefully scrutinized, the princess signed her name on them. The signed document was returned to Joe's hands again, because all documents must be handed over to Joe for his seal to be officially effective.
The final effective document was passed to a filing cabinet made of gold wire placed in the middle of the table. In front of everyone, the document was put into a carefully crafted envelope, stamped with a signature, and placed in the filing cabinet.
All this was done under the attention of all the royal knights present. Every action, every file transfer is done under the watchful eye of everyone.
The hardest among everyone was Jerry and the senior clerks who worked hard. I saw various materials in front of each of them, and a thick stack of high-grade paper behind them. I saw that they had to turn around from time to time to pick up a piece of paper and write something desperately. They had to discuss something in whispers, and in order not to disturb the distinguished adults, they did not dare to make a loud noise during the discussion, so not to mention how uncomfortable it was. The most painful thing for them was that when they delivered the document to Joe's hands, Joe waved the pen in his hand and slashed at the document they had worked so hard to write. Not to mention the expression on the person who wrote the document is wonderful. It was a tearless expression. When the document was thrown back and these people saw the colorful horizontal and vertical frames, they had to bite the bullet and make modifications. Although it was so hard, they didn't A person dares to complain, after all, these documents are too important. What is written in them is not just a formal article, but hidden in them is at least ten years of peace and stability of the Sophien Kingdom, as well as the lives of everyone present. Safety must not be taken care of at all. It is worth the lives and fortunes of countless people.
Since everyone in the princess's palace was working nervously, the knight next to Enleco did not dare to interrupt the princess's thoughts. He could only wait patiently on the side, and Enleco also knew it. Stand aside.
I don’t know how long it has passed, but Enleco only remembers that the palace magicians serving in the palace to support the anti-spying magic barrier have been replaced several times, and the magic lamp used for lighting in front of the table has been replaced several times. The lamp has been re-infused with magic power two or three times by those magicians.
After the last document was signed and sealed by Qiao, it was sealed and placed in the filing cabinet in front of everyone. Jerry and the senior clerks were so weak that they slumped on the table. The prince, on the other hand, had already stretched out on his own. Although this indecent behavior was likely to lead to a reprimand from his stern sister, he completely ignored it.
Even the Mados magician looked tired, rubbing his temples with his fingers and gently twisting his stiff neck. Her Highness the Princess also straightened her body slightly and shook her numb and sore arms. Today, she signed too many documents. The only one who didn't feel tired was Joe. He walked over to seal the filing cabinet and poured molten lead on the filing cabinet's sliding door.
Only then did the knight standing next to Enleco step forward to report to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who gradually relaxed her strings, turned her head to face Enleco. Only then did other people notice Enleco, and Her Royal Highness the Prince and Jerry looked gloating, which made Enleco He felt shuddering, and he was quite afraid that Her Royal Highness the Princess would inflict further suffering on him.
Fortunately, the tired and weak Princess has no interest in punishing Enleco. What's more, last night, Joe also discussed with himself that he should treat Enleco a little better in the future. After all, this guy is considered a rare one. Talents obtained, and after what happened yesterday, Enleco is absolutely outstanding in the Kaoqi Kingdom. If Enleco is treated like before, even if Enleco does not have the courage to rebel, the Kaoqi people Presumably they will do everything possible to win over Enleco. After all, in their minds, Enleco is now more than just a forbidden magician, and he is even the ideal candidate for the next chief priest. So it is necessary to treat Enleco well now.
Thinking of this, Her Royal Highness the Princess glanced at the young man standing in front of her. This young man with countless mysteries, Her Royal Highness is quite confused about how to use this guy who has no idea what potential he has in the future.
Enleco, on the other hand, looked at this extremely noble princess who seemed to be ready to explode at any time with fear, not knowing what kind of fate was waiting for him.
Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess said: "Enleco──you are quite leisurely today, how about it? Did you have a good time shopping?"
When Enleco heard this, cold sweat ran down his back.
"Don't be afraid, I don't want to blame you...after all, today is the second day of the Victory Day celebration."
Enleco's calves were trembling slightly.
"However, please come with us tomorrow. We originally wanted to find you today. His Majesty Emperor Horkels III wanted to summon you, but we couldn't find you anywhere. This is really rude. However, this one Can you blame me for not making it clear to you in advance? The responsibility lies with me. You can go down and rest now. Tomorrow morning, you will go with us to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Kaoqi."
Having said this, Her Royal Highness the Princess waved her hands gently.
Enleco was so interested that he quickly exited the princess's bedroom. He dragged his legs as if they were filled with lead and moved back to his room step by step. He felt uneasy. He didn't know why the princess was so polite to him today, and he didn't know tomorrow. What kind of hardships are waiting for you
Because of his worries, Enleco didn't sleep all night. When it dawned the next morning, Enleco's eyes showed a pair of dark circles due to lack of sleep. When he came to the gathering place in the courtyard, he saw that everyone, including Her Royal Highness, was standing there with sleepy expressions on their faces, while Jerry fell asleep leaning against the carriage.
Everyone got on the carriage. Because of Enleco's special status, he rode in the same carriage with Mados Magician and Joe. The carriage started slowly, and Enleco leaned against the window to admire the surrounding scenery. Since they had many knights leading the way, they encountered no obstructions along the way and went straight to Kaoqi's palace. The carriage stopped beside the large white marble square in front of the palace. Under the escort of the Royal Knights, the princess and her entourage entered the square. Every few meters around the square stood a holy knight from the Kaoqi Kingdom. It was completely different from the day of the celebration. Today's holy knight was wearing heavy combat armor, and his thick bright red shirt was made from 56 It is made of layers of sheepskin sewn together, and there are rows of gilded bronze buttons nailed to the shirt. Under the battle robes, rust-red heavy steel armor was exposed. They wore a double-edged battle ax on the left and right sides of their waists, and a one-meter-long two-handed sword on their left waist. The long red sword hilt paired with the pitch black scabbard looked unusually dignified. All holy knights wear fully enclosed helmets with only a pair of eyes exposed. A long neck guard extends to the top of the vest. The central axis of the helmet is neatly decorated with a strip of fluffy camel hair dyed bright red. The red camel hair piled high like clouds swayed in the breeze, and the entire square was like an undulating red ocean.
Under the protection of the Holy Knights, Enleco and the others entered the palace. Different from the day of the celebration, Enleco and the others were taken to the main hall. On the steps in front of the main hall, the great wizard Kobi Leo was already waiting there. .
When Enleco walked up the steps, he discovered that the wizard also had a pair of dark eye circles. These dark circles matched Kobe Leo's fat, round face. All this made Enleco He immediately thought of a magical animal called the panda that only originates in the East, and other members of the envoy around him obviously made the same association. This can be clearly seen from the expressions of his companions that were half-smiling but not smiling. .
As the head of the envoy, Her Royal Highness the Princess must of course go up and express condolences. This is natural anyway. Of course, Her Royal Highness the Princess's actions are not entirely a deliberate act. She really cares about Kobe Lee. O's physical condition, and very grateful to Kobe Leo for helping the Sophie Kingdom so much.
But to everyone's expectation, the reason why Kobe Leo couldn't eat well or sleep well was not at all because of the major event of the alliance between the Kingdom of Kaoqi and the Kingdom of Sophie. Kobe Leo could even be said to be quite active. With all the preparations for this alliance, he volunteered to take on many tasks that were not originally done by him, and even included many trivial matters that he should not have taken care of in the first place. Of course, people who did not know the truth of the matter all thought that Kobe Leo He was too close to the people of Sophie Kingdom. However, those who really know Kobe Leo know very well that Kobe Leo has had a very hard time these two days.
Since the day of the memorial ceremony, Miss Fenasia, the niece of the great wizard Kobe Leo, appeared in front of everyone, Kobe Leo's mansion suddenly became lively in the past two days, with countless prominent nobles, and even people from all walks of life. Lu Huang's relatives and relatives all went out one after another, and they were determined not to give up until they broke through the bear's den.
And among these people, there are many people who even Kobe Leo can't afford to offend. They want to stay behind closed doors, but there is no way. A large part of these people were entrusted by Hegeelo's mother to come to propose marriage to Duke Hegeelo. And many others brought their nephews and brothers with the same intentions towards the mysterious young lady. Of course, there are also many people who just come to see the excitement and want to meet the world-famous lady. What’s more, the crowds blocking the door of Kobe Leo’s mansion every day are about to catch up with the parade of Victory Day celebrations. , so it is simply wishful thinking for ordinary people to have free passage within at least six blocks around Kobe Leo's mansion. And I heard that in the past two days, if Kobe Leo wanted to leave the mansion, he could only come and go from the air through wind magic.
Because of this, the great wizard regards going home these two days as a difficult and terrifying task. Moreover, I heard that Kobe Leo's life has been even more difficult in the past two days. Originally, this guy still had His Majesty Emperor Horkels III supported him from behind. Unexpectedly, yesterday, even Her Majesty the Queen Mother was alarmed and insisted that Kobe Leo bring his niece into the palace to show her. He also said that if the young lady is as outstanding as the rumors, her noble Queen Mother Your Majesty will officiate the marriage of this young lady in person. This is an honor that is absolutely unparalleled. If the Empress Dowager presides over the marriage, it is a state wedding. Except for His Majesty the Emperor, who can receive such treatment when getting married, no matter what kind of emperor he is. Relatives and relatives are not blessed to receive such treatment. That is an unparalleled honor in the world. Not even the Emperor could disobey Her Majesty the Empress Dowager's decree, so he had to step aside and do nothing. Anyway, this was not his business, and besides, he did not have the strength to meddle in this nosy matter.
When Enleco listened to the familiar holy knights telling him these things, Enleco was completely stunned. He did not expect that the matter was not over yet. It had such big sequelae. Now things are getting worse. As the commotion got bigger, it was obviously impossible to completely cover up the matter. As a person involved, how could others understand the feelings he felt in his heart
And those holy knights obviously didn't know that Miss Fenasia was themselves, and few of the royal knights of Sophien Kingdom around them knew about this matter. In the entire royal knights, except for Kate and Hao Meng, Apart from the abominable Joe, only Jack knew a little bit about this matter because of his brother Jerry, while others knew nothing about it, so among all the people except Enleco, The others listened with great interest to the few familiar holy knights talking happily about the recent events.
Jerry, Kate, and several other important figures with status and responsibilities had already followed Her Royal Highness the Princess into the main hall to negotiate with the ministers of the Kingdom of Kaoqi on alliance matters, and Enleco, despite his noble status, When the mission was first established, he was not included in the list of key figures in the mission submitted to the Kingdom of Kaochi. Therefore, according to diplomatic practice, Enleco was not qualified to participate in this negotiation, let alone the one the day before yesterday. In the competition, Enleco's unexpected and wonderful performance is still deeply imprinted in the minds of the nobles and ministers of the Kaoqi Kingdom. In their eyes, Enleco's strength has been exaggerated tenfold and a hundred times. As for all the ministers (except Duke Hegeello), they were determined not to engage in tit-for-tat negotiations with such a terrible enemy, and Hegeello was still worried about the seemingly tied contest that day and was thinking about it. He really saw the difference in this negotiation, but his partner, Somyret, the prime minister of the Kaoqi Kingdom, stopped his actions. After all, for him, having a contest that could have been avoided was the last thing he wanted. One thing I don’t want to see.
Enleco was quite happy and relaxed about not participating in the negotiations. If he hadn't heard these annoying things that made him extremely worried, today would have been a relaxing trip for Enleco. But now Enleco can no longer be happy.
The talks went very smoothly. At noon, the first batch of resolutions had been made. The Sophien Kingdom and the Kaoqi Kingdom formally formed an alliance. As the two parties that concluded the alliance, each other established embassies in each other's countries to conduct effective exchanges with each other. communication. The ambassador of the Kingdom of Kaoqi will be a nephew of Horkels III. This distinguished ambassador will set off to the Kingdom of Sophie together with the delegation of the Kingdom of Sophie who has successfully completed the mission. Of course, the Kingdom of Kaoqi also hopes that the Kingdom of Sophien can send senior personnel with familiar status to stay in the Kingdom of Kaoqi as ambassadors of the Kingdom of Sophien.
During the break after lunch, senior members of the Sophien Kingdom's envoy held a meeting. Of course Enleco also attended this meeting.
When the meeting began, Her Royal Highness the Princess proposed to let her stay as the ambassador of the Sophie Kingdom. Hao Meng and Kate objected to this proposal, while Joe remained silent. Magician Mados seemed to have noticed something as well, and remained silent.
When Kate and Hao Meng could not withstand the eloquence of Her Royal Highness the Princess, they turned to seek help from Joe and the magician Mados, but what Joe said suddenly shocked these two people. Qiao Zhan frowned and said: "In my opinion, Her Royal Highness the Princess's decision is quite correct. In fact, the so-called ambassador is simply another form of hostage. Since they sent an important hostage to When you go to our country, of course you also hope that we will leave a worthy hostage."
Hearing what Joe said, Kate couldn't help but interrupt him: "Mr. Leader, this is completely unfair. The hostage they proposed is simply a person of little value. We have never I have heard of such a number one figure, but Her Royal Highness the Princess is the first heir to the throne of Sophien Kingdom, and her status cannot be compromised in the slightest."
Joe said: "Kate, how do you know that the hostage is not important? In the same way, the other party may think that our princess is not as important as their hostage. You'd better not use your point of view to speculate on everything." . Besides, even if things are as you said, the hostage of the other party is not important at all, but the Kaoqi people obviously hope that we will keep the princess in the Kingdom of Sophie. Can't you see this? Kaoqi Since the Qi people have such a plan, they always have a reason for such a plan. I even suspect that the Princess is not the only one the Kaoqi people want to keep. Maybe there are other people who are on their radar. List."
When Qiao said this, the prince suddenly became nervous. He quickly asked: "Dear uncle, do you think they want me and my sister to stay together?"
Qiao glanced at His Highness the Prince and said, "Don't worry, those Kaoqi people probably haven't noticed you yet."
I saw Joe turning back to Enleco and Kate and said: "The wonderful performance of the two of you at that memorial ceremony has a lot to do with the fact that we were able to successfully reach an alliance with the Kaoqi Kingdom this time. But because of this, it’s impossible for those Kaoqi people not to pay great attention to you two. If I’m not wrong, they will definitely offer to let you two stay in the Kaoqi Kingdom with Her Royal Highness.”
Joe thought for a while and continued: "This possibility is quite high, and we must be prepared for this."
Kate said: "If Her Royal Highness the Princess really stays in the Kaoqi Kingdom, then I will also be bound to protect the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess to the death. Enleco, you won't refuse to stay, right?"
Kate originally expected Enleco's quick and affirmative reply, but to his surprise, Enleco frowned and refused to reply. Kate couldn't help being a little disappointed. He said: "I didn't expect that Enleco, you also... also value your own safety more than anything else. Of course, this is understandable. After all, these things have nothing to do with you..."
Kate couldn't speak any more at this point, and most of the people around them glared at Enleco. In their eyes, Enleco suddenly turned into a coward, a coward or even a traitor. Among these people, there was no doubt that he was brave. You are qualified to evaluate Enleco in this way, but if Jerry and His Royal Highness the Prince also think so, then this can only be said that this is a great weakness in human nature, and the anger of the Princess has reached an unstoppable level. The point of containment.
Fortunately, at this time, Joe stepped forward to relieve Enleco from the crisis. He said: "Kate, I think you misunderstood your companions. I think what Enleco is really worried about is other things. After all, he is in the Kingdom of Kaoqi." There are still a lot of embarrassing and troublesome things left, and he is also afraid that Duke Haguero will not let him go. Moreover, as far as I know, even Her Majesty the Queen Mother of the Kaoqi Kingdom has intervened in this matter. Now , it is quite difficult for His Majesty the Emperor to settle this turmoil. Staying in the Kaoqi Kingdom is much more difficult for him than for anyone else. We are not qualified to comment on Enlai Ke, after all, his current situation was caused by us."
When Joe said this, he stopped and glanced at Enleco.
To be honest, Enleco never thought that Joe would defend him, which moved Enleco somewhat.
The experienced and qualified Joe obviously saw Enleco's mood swings, and he continued: "Actually, it is Enleco who is really in trouble now. After all, the signing of a treaty between the two countries is an extremely cautious matter. As a country, it is unlikely that you will go back on your word easily. Therefore, the life safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess is completely guaranteed, but Enleco and Kate are different. If you two stay in the Kaoqi Kingdom, you must always Pay attention to your own life safety, not to mention that Enleco still has a lot of troubles. But Enleco, if you return to the country, it will not be smooth and safe. You should know that Haguero With the Duke's personality and character, will he let you go easily? If you anger him, it will even pose a huge threat to the national security between the two countries. You know, the nobles of the Kaoqi vassal are just wandering around. When searching for food, they are not necessarily interested in our Sophie. What's more, because of this mission and the wonderful performances of Enleko and Kate, this will definitely make the Kaoqi people have greater concerns and want to It would be a little difficult for them to go back to the past and regard our Kingdom of Sophie as their first target, but if they piss off Duke Hegeero, he will really encourage all the Kaoqi people to attack Sophie. Finn, by that time, I doubt that our King will go to war with Kaoqi for this. What's more, after you go back, you will have to face your teacher, Princess Chrissy? You left Her Royal Highness the Princess’s niece alone in the extremely dangerous Kaoqi Kingdom, what do you think Her Royal Highness will do with you?”
What Joe said gave Enleco a chill. Enleco couldn't help but think of the terrifying image of an angry Chris. Enleco really didn't dare to deal with this woman who could erupt like a volcano at any time. You know, as Qiao said, if you just go back like this, you will most likely not be safe. Enleco thought about it, his rational balance swinging back and forth between a lot of troubles and the danger of his life. Finally, Enleco decided to face the reality. After all, staying with the princess in the Kaoqi Kingdom was better than going back to face the situation like this. Scary and scary Teacher Chris is much safer.
Seeing that his persuasion had achieved the desired effect, Qiao immediately became happy. He was afraid that Enleco would regret it, so he quickly made a list of the people who would stay in the Kaoqi Kingdom. The only people left behind were the princesses. Your Highness, besides Kate and Enleco, there is Bertina, and Joe’s reason is quite simple. In a team, there is a priest who will bring great confidence to the team members, composed of warriors, magicians The escape team composed of a division, a priest, and a priest will also be the most reasonable formation with a reasonable division of labor, and the combat capabilities can complement each other and complement each other. Of course, he would not say that leaving Bertina in the Kaoqi Kingdom was under the guidance of the high priest Meron. Although Qiao didn't know what was going on, he always respected Meron's suggestions.
After the meeting, everyone took a rest for a while. Enleco stood under the eaves of the palace so worried that he leaned against the pillars and stared blankly at the sky.
While he was in a daze, the magician Mados came to him unknowingly. The wise and old magician said: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking, is fate so hard to understand? I was just the son of an ordinary grocery store owner. My life was so ordinary. Every day was like a clockwork person, and I had to complete my tasks on time. On a regular day, all I have to do with is those guests. I never thought about it...I never thought about it..."
"I didn't expect it to be like this? Right? In fact, no one can completely control his destiny. Fate often arranges tasks for him that he must complete beyond his expectation. These tasks may just be to find a true love. , leaving a descendant, you know that this is already a huge difficulty for some people, and the task of some people may be to constantly discover new things. When that time comes, you will know What is your true destiny..."
Enleco was quite surprised by what Magician Mados told him. He always felt that this mysterious magic master seemed to have a deep understanding of the unfathomable and unpredictable destiny, but Enleco could not imagine how this magician who had made a contract with Hades could have the ability to predict
Magician Mados obviously saw the doubts in Enleco's heart. He said in a long and slow voice: "All gods are the same, whether it is the God of Hades, the God of War, the God of Wisdom, or the Goddess of Earth. , all gods are the same, they are all part of this world, and their duties are to maintain the order of this world."
Enleco couldn't understand this answer that was not an answer for a while. All gods are the same, so are the God of Fire and the God of Water also the same? Are Hades and Earth Goddess the same
When Enleco was upset and troubled by this problem, a holy knight suddenly ran over. This knight brought the decree of His Majesty Horkels III of the Kingdom of Kaochi. This noble emperor wanted to summon Enleco.
Following this holy knight, Enleco came to the main hall of the palace. Kaoqi's palace was completely different from the Kingdom of Sophie. The main hall was built on a high platform, which was nearly ten meters high and one hundred meters high. The steps are piled up directly in front of the high platform. The entire main hall is circular, with a huge conical roof on top. The entire roof is made up of countless tiles arranged in layers like fish scales. The tiles reflect a dazzling golden luster like gold. A string of lamp panels made of jade are hung under the eaves. The palace walls made of white marble support this huge building, instead of relying entirely on huge pillars to bear most of the weight like the Kingdom of Sophie.
Enleco crossed the high threshold. The center of power in Kaochi, the place where this country handles the most important state affairs and foreign affairs, the Grand Council Hall of the Royal Palace of Kaochi Kingdom, appeared in front of Enleco.
In the center of the Great Council Hall was a bright red carpet that climbed over the high threshold and down to the steps. At the other end of the red carpet, sitting on a three-tiered golden throne is the young emperor. Today, Horkels III wears a golden crown with a star inlaid on the top. A huge diamond is also inlaid with a fiery red and huge gem on the front of the crown and above the forehead. Twelve golden crown wings extend outward, and at the end of each crown wing is a crystal clear red stone. gem.
His Majesty the Emperor was wearing a bright yellow robe, which was embroidered with beautiful and elegant patterns. There was a gold silk belt tied around the waist of the robe. There was a golden table placed in front of Horkels III. Placed on the table were the terms of the contract presented by Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Enleco saw that the documents placed on the table were all stamped with the national jade seal, the highest symbol of power in the Kaoqi Kingdom. Enleco knew that the two countries had formally concluded an alliance, and the shadow of war had temporarily drifted away from the Sophie Kingdom. Enleco finally let go of some of his worries. Although he was not very interested in those national affairs, he was a subject of the Kingdom of Sophie after all. He never wanted his country to be involved in a war. No common people wanted a war. Yes, war can only bring them endless sorrow.
Enleco waited quietly for His Majesty the Emperor to explain the reason for summoning him. He did not think that His Majesty the Emperor summoned him at this solemn and sacred moment just to let him know the good news of the signing of the treaty between the two countries as soon as possible. There must be a special reason why His Majesty the Emperor summoned him. Enleco waited patiently for His Majesty the Emperor to come and reveal the mystery.
However, unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor just nodded towards him, without saying anything to him, and signaled Enleco to step aside.
Enleco followed the holy knight to the corner on the right side. This was a place where he could see the panoramic view of the hall, but it was not too eye-catching. Enleco quietly watched the speech of His Majesty the Emperor above the hall. .
Just listen to His Majesty Emperor Horcols III say: "Om account - the 16th emperor of the Kingdom of Kaoqi - Horcos III solemnly announces here - the Kingdom of Kaoqi and the Kingdom of Sophie have become brothers. Alliance... Under this sacred alliance, the two countries will share the huge benefits brought by peace... Under this sacred alliance, the two countries advance and retreat together to resist external aggression... In order to make this sacred alliance successful. It has become the highest standard for our two countries to interact with each other. In order to enhance the understanding between the two countries, I hereby warmly welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Franny of the Kingdom of Sophie to become the plenipotentiary ambassador of the Kingdom of Sophie to our country, and sincerely Inviting Her Royal Highness the Princess to use her great wisdom to assist me in organizing my country, I hereby declare that Her Royal Highness Princess Frannie is not only the ambassador of the Kingdom of Sophie, but also as my first state advisor to all the subjects of the Kingdom of Kaoqi. Everyone must respect the noble Princess and all members of the Kingdom of Sophie in our country as they respect me. I once again invite Mr. Enleco and Mr. Kate from the Kingdom of Sophie to serve as my second and third national advisers. As you can see, although these two gentlemen are young, they have special abilities that are unparalleled by ordinary people. Especially Mr. Enleco, he is still qualified to become a god after our respected High Priest Meron. As a special person who is the spokesperson, I will follow the advice of the High Priest Meron and grant Mr. Enleco the title of 'Guardian of the Temple' of the Kaoqi Kingdom..."
Enleco felt baffled when he heard this. He simply didn't understand what the emperor was thinking. Although his decision was just as Joe expected, and he was left in the Kaoqi Kingdom with Kate, there was no need for the Emperor to grant himself such a lofty status.
Although Enleco didn't know exactly what the position of "Temple Guardian" was, it could be seen from the surprised expressions of the people around him that this appointment was definitely not a simple matter. However, I don't know because everyone heard that His Majesty the Emperor said that this appointment was proposed by the Archpriest Meron, or because today is definitely not the right time for objections to be raised on such an occasion, or perhaps because His Majesty the Emperor had already agreed with him in private. The important ministers in the imperial court had already greeted each other, so no one stood up to oppose this surprising proposal.
Of course Enleco knew that it was his turn to perform now. According to the usual practice, he had absolutely no reason to shirk this appointment. He had no other choice but to express his gratitude and accept it happily. Therefore, he had no choice but to take a few steps forward and came directly in front of His Majesty the Emperor. At this time, Kate also walked out. The two stood side by side and respectfully made a diplomatic gesture to His Majesty the Emperor. The official was presented with the ceremony, and then he once again paid the highest respect to His Majesty the Emperor according to the court etiquette that he had already been trained to.
The results of Her Royal Highness's training truly reflected its value at this time. These two young diplomats, with their extremely proficient diplomatic vocabulary and absolutely perfect court etiquette, fully demonstrated all the qualities that an excellent diplomat must have. This made those Kaoqi people who were still dissatisfied with this appointment secretly agree that His Majesty the Emperor's unexpected appointment was not unreasonable.
What happened next was even more beyond everyone's expectations. His Majesty the Emperor issued another decree, and this decree was obviously beyond everyone's expectations and deeply shocked everyone present. .
Just listen to Horkels III say: "Mr. Enleco, you are a Sophie. I believe that you have absolutely no preconceived ideas about my country, our system, and everything in our country, and your status is quite high." You are special and will not be influenced by other people's opinions. Therefore, the Kaoqi Kingdom seen in your eyes is obviously more in line with the real situation. Therefore, I hereby ask you to be my eyes and be my eyes. With my ears, I walked around the country and helped me see my country. This was originally something I should do myself, but the things I could see were just things that others wanted me to see. , only you, only you become my eyes, can I truly understand, understand those things hidden in the dark corners, those things that I have never seen, and, precisely because you are not from the Kingdom of Kaoqi, so Your Excellency Your thoughts will not be bound by our thoughts. Your judgment on various things is definitely different from ours. I hope to hear your opinion."
Having said this, His Majesty the Emperor waved his hands in front of all the ministers who were shocked and could not recover for a while, as well as the few ministers who were relatively sober but obviously wanted to raise objections, and continued: "Of course, I We will not just listen to one-sided opinions and suggestions. Different viewpoints are always the most important factor in understanding things correctly. Therefore, I will also appoint two important figures with completely different identities to assume this responsibility. One of them will The first is Miss Milinda, whom I admire most, the sister of our noble Prime Minister. This lady will definitely bring me some opinions and views that are absolutely different from Mr. Enleco. And the last one, although everyone compares She is unfamiliar, but everyone who participated in the victory ceremony must have been deeply impressed by her. She is Miss Fenasia, the niece of the distinguished great wizard Kobe Leo. I believe that this young lady is qualified to take on this responsibility. No problem with that?"
Horkels III paused again and looked at the people around him who were whispering, but no one raised any objections. He took out three letters of appointment from the table and announced: "I hereby appoint the special envoy of the Sophie Kingdom. , the second national affairs advisor, Mr. Enleco, the 'Guardian of the Temple', and Miss Milinda, Count of Minas, and Miss Fenasia serve as the plenipotentiary envoys of the Kingdom of Kaoqi, and have 'Emperor's Acting Knights' With his status, he has the power to mobilize the knights of various counties in the Kingdom of Kaoqi during his tenure as the plenipotentiary envoy."
The appointment issued by Horkels III once again aroused everyone's secret discussion. However, due to the extremely special identities of the three people proposed by His Majesty the Emperor, the ministers saw Somilet, Hegeelo The Duke and the great wizard Kobe Leo never expressed their opinions, so they did not dare to put forward their opinions first. You know, the identities of those three people are both special and very sensitive. Enleco will not talk about him. Just listen to the long list of titles, and you can imagine how highly he is regarded by His Majesty the Emperor, and under his Behind him is obviously the support of Archpriest Meron, and based on his friendship with Archmage Kobe Leo and the members of the Holy Knights, it will be easy for him to gain widespread support, not to mention that he himself is not A mediocre and incompetent person, not to mention his super strength that is close to the magician level in using forbidden spells. His outstanding performance at the victory ceremony that day made everyone present feel sorry for this underage man. The child magician had a feeling of superiority. His keen strategic vision and superb command ability that could compete with an outstanding military strategist like Duke Haguero deeply shocked everyone present, let alone what happened later. That almost miraculous artifact was recognized as the owner. Even if His Majesty the Emperor announced on the spot that this young magician would be the candidate for the next chief priest, it would not cause much controversy. Therefore, Enleco was appointed, and everyone There is nothing to say.
As for the other two, everyone also had nothing to say. The first was Miss Milinda. This lady's identity was also very special. She was very likely to become a member of the Kaoqi Kingdom (of course, if she wanted to). Moreover, as the younger sister of Prime Minister Somylet, she has absolutely extraordinary influence with Haguero and the others, including the Emperor, who has been playing with her best friends since childhood.
Finally, we have to talk about Miss Fenacia. Among the three people, the most sensitive identity is this mysterious lady. Not only is she the leader of the moderate faction in the Kingdom of Kaoqi, the Great Mage Kobe Leo She is the niece of the hard-line leader Duke Hegeiro. She is a special person who has a bearing on the fate of Kaoqi and the direction of the country. Even Her Majesty the Queen Mother, who does not care about state affairs, is worried about her affairs. , and the mother of Duke Hagriro, this powerful lady further raised the status of Miss Fenasia to an insurmountable level. Many people here have listened to their lady more than once, and even grew up with them. Generations of female relatives talk about all kinds of interesting things about this mysterious lady, but one thing is for sure, this lady has been recognized by the upper-class nobles of the entire Kaoqi Kingdom, and this upper-class *** The influence of the emperor is much greater than that of the court headed by His Majesty the Emperor. For example, those noble members of the royal family, His Majesty the Emperor does not have the strength to influence them, but if they offend this young lady, the upper-level *** But we won't let these guys off easily. I heard that the old royal man who was the leader of the booing at the royal banquet that day was badly repaired by his wife after he returned home because of this crime. And the strength of this young lady is quite shocking. She is a contemporary owner who has the strength to inherit the artifacts used by ancient heroes. The astonishing scene that happened at the victory memorial still appears in front of everyone's eyes from time to time. In many people's eyes, In the minds of people (mostly young bachelors), this young lady has simply become a being second only to God. If this young lady ascends a high place and calls out, I am afraid that the response will be much greater than that of His Majesty the Emperor.
Because of these reasons, everyone remained silent and no one dared to stand up and express opposing opinions. The only person who stood up was Duke Hegeero, but he did not want to object to the appointment. He just heard him say: "Your Majesty, I fully agree with the decision you have made, so I will allow you to do your best." With some little effort, these three noble inspectors definitely need a strong protector, please let me play the role of this protector."
I heard Horkels III smile and say: "Mr. Hagrid, I understand your thoughts quite well. What you really want to protect is one of the ladies, but this inspection is not a love affair. Talking about the journey of love, and you have a heavy responsibility, there are many state affairs that need you to deal with, how can you leave these state affairs alone? Therefore, I cannot agree to your proposal. "
When Horkels III saw Haggero, he obviously wanted to argue something. He didn't want to waste his time on this inconsequential issue, so he quickly signed the three letters of appointment and then announced the official end of the meeting. His Majesty the Emperor eagerly invited His Royal Highness the Princess, Enleco and the others. He attended a small ball held in the palace to entertain the royal family with him, leaving a group of ministers who were stunned by the news that followed in the solemn hall.
