The bright sunlight shines through the windows and slantly reflects on the spotless oak floor, giving this side hall a light golden layer.
A few snow-white and flawless candles were burning quietly, and purple gold discs were placed above the clusters of jumping flames. The amber in the discs melted quietly under the high temperature, exuding an elegant fragrance.
There is a circle of lizard-skinned sofa chairs in the hall. Two men, one old and one young, are sitting on the sofa chairs, chatting with each other.
The older man looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with gray hair, but he was hale and hearty. He was wearing a gorgeous noble dress, but there was a faint sadness hidden between his brows.
The other man looked like he was only in his early twenties. Although he deliberately grew a beard, he still couldn't hide his immaturity.
Moreover, it seemed that it was the first time for him to come to the Phoenix Palace, his posture was too stiff while sitting upright, and his wandering eyes also showed a little nervousness in his heart.
"Lord Imerson, will Her Majesty the Queen support me?"
"Will do."
"But..." the young man still seemed to have some doubts, "but Her Royal Highness is from the St. Hilde family. Shouldn't she support Eckert, the student of Earl Angelet, the guardian of the north?"
Imerson raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the young man opposite, and said calmly:
"Camilla, you are still too young. You know, the key to politics is balance, and now, the strong northern border has the risk of throwing the empire's political situation out of balance.
Even if Her Royal Highness the Queen came from the Saint Hilde family, she would never allow anyone to control the forces in the east and north.
What's more, Earl Angelet just married the Duke of St. Hilde, and his surname is not St. Hilde. "
Cavalier Camilla nodded, seeming to understand, but still asked cautiously:
"Lord Imerson, why don't we go to see Emperor Reinhardt?"
Imerson's eyes suddenly became a little weird. He raised his head and glanced at the empty hall entrance, and then lowered his voice and said:
"Your Majesty is busy preparing for the big event against the orc invasion, how could I have time to see you?"
"Oh." Seeing that Imerson didn't want to say more, Cavalier Camilla also closed his mouth. His eyes wandered over the murals hanging on the wall, but his eyes were out of focus, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Not long after, light footsteps sounded outside the hall.
Imerson stood up immediately.
Cavalier Camilla also woke up suddenly, and as soon as she got up, she saw the charming Queen Midella walking in.
"His Royal Highness!"
"You two don't have to be restrained, please sit down."
Queen Midella smiled lightly and waved her hands, then came to the sofa and sat down slowly, with her legs crossed, revealing some beautiful breasts.
"Consul Imerson, the person next to you should be Cavalier Camilla, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
The young knight hurriedly lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the glamorous queen, and performed a knight salute awkwardly, and said loudly:
"Camilla has met Her Majesty the Queen, may your beauty last forever!"
Queen Midella looked at the young knight with a smile, and said, "Raise your head."
Cavalier Camilla was slightly taken aback, but still followed the Queen's request and raised her head.
But as soon as he came into contact with Queen Midella's bright purple eyes and that beautiful smile, the young knight felt dizzy for a while, and a faint blush soon appeared on his face.
Seeing Cavalier Camilla's gaffe, Queen Midella smiled brighter and brighter.
Seeing this, Imerson hurriedly made a relief:
"His Royal Highness, this Cavalier Camilla is already a Tier 4 powerhouse at a young age, and he has also experienced many years in the Pegasus Legion. During the chaos in the Eastern Realm, he also made an outstanding contribution to stabilizing the situation in Bailu City." contribution."
"Oh? Really?"
Seeing that Queen Midella's eyes shifted to Imerson, Cavalier Camilla breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately, he felt an indescribable loss.
Therefore, Cavalier Camilla immediately said loudly: "Your Highness, what I have done in the past is not worth mentioning in front of you. Now I just hope that you will give me a chance to make even more achievements under your gaze." Splendid glory!"
Queen Midella turned her attention to Knight Camilla again, and said with a smile:
"Knight Camilla, I really like a young man who is determined to forge ahead like you. The Eastern Region also needs a leader like you to sweep away the chaos and depression of the past."
Cavalier Camilla's face turned even redder, and even the pimple on the tip of her nose glowed red due to congestion.
Queen Midella's praise made the young Eastland knight seem to have found the value and meaning of life. At this moment, Knight Camilla vowed secretly that he would do everything in his life to protect the noble and beautiful queen in front of him!
Imerson's old face also burst into a smile, echoing:
"Your Highness, you are so right! I also think that the Eastern Region now needs a leader like Cavalier Camilla, not some child who is not yet fully weaned, or someone whose name is not right. careerist!"
Queen Midella nodded, but then she frowned beautifully and said:
"However, Cavalier Camilla is not the first heir to the Duke of the Eastern Realm after all, so it may be difficult to convince the public."
Imerson immediately interjected: "Your Highness, Vera St. Hilde was not the first heir to the Northern Territory at the time. I have always believed that the candidate for the Duke of the First Territory must consider the succession, but also Take into account both moral and talent, don't you think?"
"That's right. However, Knight Camilla, you also need to prove your ability to His Majesty and the nobles of the Eastern Realm."
Boom!
Cavalier Camilla slapped her chest heavily, and said to herself: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will do my best to prove myself to everyone!"
Queen Midella nodded in satisfaction, and said:
"Very good. The Orc Empire is about to invade, this is an excellent opportunity for you, I hope you will not let me down.
If you can emerge in this war, I will formally propose to His Majesty that you inherit the Duke of the East Region. "
"Follow your will, Her Majesty the Queen!"
Queen Midella stood up slowly, came to Knight Camilla, and stretched out her left hand.
Seeing this slender hand as white as jade in front of him, Cavalier Camilla trembled with excitement, but soon he came to his senses, quickly took the queen's jade hand with both hands, buried his forehead deeply, and gently one touch.
At this moment, the pious light on the face of Camilla Knight was not weaker than that of the most fanatical believer.
Queen Midella smiled faintly, pulled out her hand, and asked again:
"Camilla Knight, have you seen Miss Grace Bruckner?"
"You mean, Miss Grace from Tinder City?"
"Yes."
"I've seen it."
"What do you think of her?"
Cavalier Camilla was a little confused, but she still replied respectfully: "Dignified and demure, absolutely beautiful."
"That's good." After saying this, Queen Midella walked out of the hall without much explanation.
Cavalier Camilla watched the queen's swaying figure disappear outside the palace, and then asked suspiciously:
"Lord Imerson, what did Her Majesty the Queen mean just now?"
"Miss Grace is probably the wife chosen by Her Royal Highness the Queen."
Cavalier Camilla was stunned, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, after losing the Tinder Army, does the Bruckens family still have much value in attracting them?"
Imerson's eyes flashed, and he said:
"His Royal Highness has her own considerations. Moreover, this is not something you need to worry about. Now you have only one task—to gain enough prestige and glory in the war against the orcs!"
"yes!"
