Aachen, the capital of the Duchy of Lorraine, is also the territory of the Dragon Family.
The most classic scene must be the Aachen Palace. This palace built by Charlemagne is famous for its towering spires. The famous Iron Throne is located in it.
The Iron Throne is made of a large number of weapons and armor fragments. It is said that these metal fragments came from the enemies defeated by Charlemagne during his expedition to Jerusalem. The weapons and armor of the pagan army that were shattered by the holy sword could not be recycled after the war.
So Charlemagne ordered it to be built into the Iron Throne in order to warn his descendants where the power of the empire came from - it came from countless wars, killings and conquests.
After Charlemagne fled to the three dimensions and never returned because of his high rank, his descendants really understood his father's intentions and immediately took up swords and guns to fight each other, thus dividing the huge Frankish Empire into three parts.
In short, it was very similar to the Cangqing Sword Mercenary Group. Once the people at the top ran away, the group below immediately fell apart.
The news that Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal, the Supreme Sword-Bearer, had returned to Aachen quickly spread throughout the Grand Palace, and nobles from all walks of life flocked to greet her: members of the Saxon family, court officials, and local nobles from Aachen.
Then they were collectively stunned.
The upright person, who was kind to his subordinates and commoners but never responded to the young noble men who flattered him, and even made people suspect that she and the Saint were lesbian lovers, the First Swordsman of the Empire, Her Royal Highness the Princess...
…At this moment, she was hugging a man's arm intimately and nodding enthusiastically to the nobles who came to greet her.
Ask tried to remain calm as she was being kissed by him in front of so many strangers, but he was actually quite embarrassed. He just let Eleanor lead him away without even looking at her.
"This is my fiancé who just returned." Eleanor introduced Ask to the nobles attentively.
"Hi, Your Highness." The nobles hurriedly greeted Ask. As the husband of Her Highness the Princess of the Empire, he must be a prince, and it would be shameful to give him a lower title.
"Hello, everyone." Ask could only return the greeting.
Eleanor's smile grew even brighter, and she held Ask's arm tighter, as if to assert her sovereignty - her own sovereignty, so that other nobles would not continue to bother her about marriage.
Of course, this news will not be limited to Aachen, but will quickly spread abroad.
For some obvious reasons, this news would undoubtedly bring great risks, so Eleanor had to quickly advance the marriage and finalize her and Ask's status before external pressure arrived and rose to a critical point.
Although she could not do something like Medea who forced her husband to marry before marriage, Medea's act of acting first and asking for permission later undoubtedly taught her what it means to "strike first and gain the upper hand."
Soon, the nominal owner of the Aachen Palace, Emperor Otto the Younger, also arrived escorted by his attendants.
When the young man saw his sister hugging a strange man's arm, his face immediately darkened.
"Sister, this is..." Little Otto asked with an unhappy smile.
