The Burton Empire palace was located at the northernmost part of the Capital and it wasn't very big, but it was definitely luxurious, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it wasn't much at all. The size and layout of this palace compared to the normal knowledge of the imperial palace, was just like a landlord's old and wealthy farm.
This morning, not long after he had his meal, two Knights of the Royal Knight Regiment came to his ordinary home to announce the decree. The Empire's Emperor would summon them, which was why they would appear in the Imperial Palace.
Inside the palace, the emperor sat there, bored to death, staring out at the rising sun in a trance. What a beautiful day it was to waste time listening to these stupid pigs grow old! Emperor endured the impulse of kicking the fat noble away.
A warrior that was dressed like an iron can walked over and reported, "Your Majesty, Mr. Pingfan has brought the Apprentice Mage." When Emperor heard this, his face finally revealed a smile, and he passed on the message to the warriors. The warriors then bowed, and the nobles in the hall heard the warriors' words, and their spirits rose.
Although this was the first time he had come to the place that represented the core of the empire's power, he did not show any signs of cowering. He very generously sized up all the officials in the hall, and all the nobles in the hall were also sizing up this young man, wanting to see what was so special about him. The first impression they had was that this child really looked like Ji Ang!
The couple sitting below the Emperor looked at him with satisfaction, thinking to themselves, "I, this grandson, will do!" He wasn't scared by such a huge scene. He was quite a character. At this moment, Ordinary also saw the two of them. He couldn't help but be stunned for two seconds when he saw the pair of praising eyes of the old lady from Old Man.
He bowed and said, "This little commoner from the mountains greets Emperor."
According to the teachings of the ancestors, as long as one was a descendant of Ji Family, regardless of whether they were children or descendants, they all had to have the surname Ji. This child actually had the surname of mother, was this his own will or Liz's? Isn't this blatant provocation of the Ji Family!?
Hearing this, Ji Old Madame, who was standing beside him, secretly sighed, thinking that this child really hurt his heart, I have to go and talk to him after the assembly is over.
Seated on the ground, Emperor secretly laughed when he saw the old couple's reaction. He coughed lightly and said: "Young Mr. Mage Fei, how is the progress of the task I gave you?"
He replied, "His Majesty's orders have been completed. The newspapers and foundations have been established. They can now operate as normal."
All of the officials were stunned, thinking to themselves, What's going on? Was this Foundation and newspaper run by the Emperor? Why didn't we know? They looked at the Emperor and then at the ordinary people, all of them full of questions.
Emperor saw this and explained, "All the officials are strange right? In fact, no matter if it's the newspapers or the foundation, I accepted the decision of Ms. Liz Verrar and the Mr. Pingfan to establish a newspaper. The purpose of the newspaper was to liven up the lives of the people of Capital and publicize the Empire's strategy … "The foundation was established to help the helpless citizens and take care of the retired soldiers who had contributed to the empire. The funds for the foundation and the newspapers were provided by the royal family …" That fellow shamelessly bragged according to the teachings of the ordinary school.
When everyone heard this, they looked at Emperor in a daze. According to their understanding, this Emperor was famous for being a miser, how could he change his mind and take out the money to care about the citizens' life and death? This was obviously all nonsense! All of the officials present could not understand why the Emperor had said that. The only one who could seemed to have guessed something was the Minister of Finance, who was stroking his goatee.
After saying those words, the Emperor did not dare look at the ordinary look in his eyes, and hurriedly coughed to signal the servants at the side. The servants stepped forward and said in a clear voice: "Transmitting the orders of the Emperor, according to the laws of the empire, regardless of whether it is the newspapers or the foundation, they are all legal organizations, no one is allowed to interfere, but due to the particularities of the newspapers and foundations, it is approved as a special industry. In the future, anyone involved in this industry would have to be approved by the Emperor himself, otherwise it would be deemed as illegal and be banned. Recognition of the legal status of the Foundation, allowing it to recruit mercenaries to guard it, recognition of Lady Liz Verrar as the Virgin Mary, possessing sacred and inviolable authority … "
After the ministers heard this, they were just a little taken aback. At this point in time, they did not realize the huge political benefits involved, so they felt that it had nothing to do with them, so they did not express any opinions. The Emperor's decision was passed very easily.
Looking at the confused faces of the crowd below, Emperor said: "In view of the outstanding contributions of Lady Liz Verrar and the Mr. Pingfan, bestowing the title of Imperial Princess on Lady Liz Verrar, and in view of the outstanding contributions of the Mr. Pingfan, as well as the contributions he made to the Empire in the first place, Emperor fulfills his initial promise of bestowing the title of nobility to the ordinary Vella, and bestowing the title of Viscount. In view of the fact that he still has to focus on his studies, he is temporarily not serving under the Imperial Government."
He had only wanted to change the title of dukedom for his mother. He had never thought that the Emperor would confer the title of princess upon his mother, even though the difference between dukedom and the princess was only one word, but the difference in status was not only one little bit. Furthermore, the Emperor had said that she would inherit the position of the forty-seventh successor to the royal family, which meant that if all forty-six of the royal family's members were to die, she would have the qualification to become an emperor.
"I object!" He was in a bad mood, after Emperor had said those words, he immediately smelt the scent of a conspiracy. Forget about everything else, if Liz was really titled as a princess, then his Ji Family would be related to the emperor. This was something that the Old Duke Ji was extremely unwilling to see.
For the past few hundred years, the Carlos Family had always been working hard to have Ji Family marry an empire princess or a daughter of Ji Family. They had wanted to use their bloodline's relationship to try and rope them in, but Ji Family had never cooperated with them in this regard, and had even not given the emperor any face to openly reject them.
"Duke Ji, why do you oppose this? I want you to give me a reason! " Emperor's stomach was almost bursting from laughing, but his face had a very unhappy look as he looked at Old Duke.
Old Duke Ji was stunned for a moment. If the emperor wanted to bestow a noble title or title, he could use her contribution to oppose him. But since the emperor was bestowing the title of princess, it was a matter of the royal family's own.
At this time, the Old Madame stood up and said: "Your Majesty, according to what I know, Lady Liz Verrar is only a commoner. It seems that she has nothing to do with the Imperial Family.
As soon as the madame finished talking, His Highness laughed and said in a normal voice," I disagree with your excellency's words. Wang Hou is not a born noble, and the Carlos family was only a slave thousands of years ago, while your Ji family was only a commoner without any property. A slave family can be an emperor, and a commoner family can be an imperial purple and gold aristocrat, so why can't a commoner be a princess? "In my opinion, a princess is nothing. Even as an emperor, or even as a pope, she is totally qualified!
A noble screamed and jumped up, shouting, "How dare you, you lowly commoner! The son of a lowly servant girl dares to spout nonsense here. According to the laws of the empire, you deserve to die ten thousand times over!"
Before he could even finish speaking, he was already pouncing towards him like a stream of light. The Old Duke Ji was shocked and quickly blocked him, shouting, "Don't be reckless!"
Old Duke's body fell to the ground and spun a few times like a top before he managed to stabilize himself. At this time, Ordinary had already rushed to the side of the man and clapped several times on his body. The noble's body suddenly dropped to the ground and started twitching violently.
His mouth was wide open in a wail of pain, but he didn't make the slightest sound. He painfully twisted his body and used his hands to tear off the skin on his body. His eyes bulged out as he rubbed his face against the ground, causing the ground to be covered in blood.
When His Highness's warriors saw this, they rushed forward to surround Ordinary Ye, waiting for the emperor to order him to be killed on the spot. Ordinary turned a blind eye to them and coldly said, "You all know that dragons have reverse scales, and those that touch them are bound to die, and I also have reverse scales, and that is my mother. You can look down on me, insult me, scold me, and even want my life, but you can't attack my mother. As he used the Lion's Roar, his cold voice resounded throughout the hall like a thunderclap.
Looking at the nobles struggling on the ground and hearing the young man's cold words and feeling the biting cold killing intent from his body, the civil and military officials in the imperial court were all stunned.
"How bold and ordinary, disregarding the law, disregarding his majesty, actually committing murder in this great hall, you truly deserve to die a thousand times for your crimes! Men, arrest him! " An old general with white hair and a beard stepped forward and roared.
The warrior outside the hall rushed over to Luo Pingfan, coldly snorting, "Hold it!" The few warriors that pounced over immediately stood still like wooden carvings, maintaining their forward posture. This strange scene once again shocked everyone.
At this time, he looked straight at the white-bearded old man and coldly said, "Your mother is a trash. She gave birth to a trash like you."
"I'll kill you!" The old man's hair stood on end as the milky-white flames on his body soared high into the air. He roared and punched towards Ordinary, who was sent flying backwards by the force of his punches. The old man punched more than ten times, and an unexpected scene appeared.
He looked at the old man and laughed coldly, "Didn't you just ignore the rules and ignore the emperor? If someone insults your mother, don't you want to take his life as well? You nobles, what you ask of others and what you ask for yourself are two different rules. Do you not feel that your actions are shameful? "
The old man was stunned for a moment, then he stopped attacking like a deflating ball, "That's right, you're right. If anyone dares to insult my mother, I will take his life, no matter what the situation is, I don't care who he is. Boy, I was wrong this time, but you scolded my mother, so you have to give me an explanation!"
He grabbed his left arm and forcefully tore it off and threw it in front of the old man, letting blood spurt out in all directions. He then said to the old man in a cold voice, "You provoked me first, but I scolded your mother, and now I break my own arm to apologize!"
The old man was shocked. Before he could say anything, Ji Old Madame rushed over like the wind, picked up his normal arm and grabbed his injured shoulder while shouting, "Where's the Mage? Following his words, the Great Magic Scholar Iquita rushed over and connected his arms with an ordinary arm. She activated a water type high level healing magic, the Rejuvenation Technique, and a ball of watery light enveloped his broken shoulder and arm, quickly healing them together.
Ji Old Madame gritted her teeth and said to the white bearded old man: "Reinhardt, if anything happens to my darling grandson, I will definitely tear you apart!"
The white bearded old man could not help but shudder, exclaiming, "Wow, he's really your grandson! "Katie, why didn't you say so earlier? If I knew he was your grandson, I wouldn't have dared to provoke him!"
Although everyone was guessing that this youth called Ordinary was the descendant of Ji Family, they had never been able to confirm it. Now that the Supreme Emperor had personally confirmed it, everyone had different reactions as if they were pleasantly surprised.
On one side, there was a large group of people surrounding the ordinary person, and on the other side, there was a small group of people surrounding the unlucky person who had been knocked down by the common Ant Devouring Acupuncture Point technique. One Archmage and two Knights who were pressing down on him were all stunned, they had already tried it, and regardless of whether it was Battle Qi or magic, they could not make this person better.
The Emperor above was furious, but most of the time he was shocked. He did not expect ordinary people to act so viciously in the hall without a care, nor did he expect that he would be able to cause a Holy Knight to be covered in clothes. Previously, when the Old Duke Ji was unable to stop him, he could have used the Old Duke as an explanation, but when the current patriarch of an aristocratic family, old man Reinhardt, who was also a Holy Knight, was unable to do anything to him, was he really shocked. And following that, the ordinary act of cutting off his arm caused Emperor to feel cold at the bottom of his heart. He showed no mercy to his enemies, and he himself had to do the same, this young man was too terrifying!
When the officials below were in a mess, Emperor stood there foolishly. It was only when the Great Mage gently pulled on his sleeves that woke up from his daze.
Seeing that the Emperor had arrived, all the officials retreated, the emperor nodded his head and said to Ping Pingfan with a serious face: "My dear nephew, you have done very well. If anyone dares to insult your mother in the future, you can kill them all.
Old Duke pulled his face up to 1.5 meters as he said unhappily: "Your majesty, since when did he become your nephew again!"
"Old Duke is not an outsider, I won't hide the truth from you. Yesterday, I snuck out of the palace to meet Ms. Liz Verrar, firstly, I wanted to take a look at my estate, and secondly, I wanted to meet this Virgin Mary who is loved and respected by all the people. To be honest, I was touched by her kind and noble character and her pure and selfless love.
After the Old Duke heard this, he gritted his teeth and whispered to the Emperor, "You are ruthless!"
This was the first time Emperor got such a bargain from the Old Duke Ji, and it was a huge bargain as well. Not only did he get a cheap little sister, he even got a cheap nephew. He was so pleased that he wanted to laugh out loud. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Old Duke Ji, according to seniority, you will be my senior in the future. In the future, we juniors will need to take good care of you!" Old Duke Ji was speechless, smoke was puffing out from his nose.
The Regimental Commander came over and said to the Emperor with a red face, "Your Majesty, my subordinates have been trapped by the ordinary viscount using a mysterious technique and are unable to move. This subject is incompetent and is unable to release them.
Looking at the wooden carvings of the warriors, the emperor said to the man, "Ordinary viscount, I will definitely punish these fellows. You should let them go first."
Ordinary Ye Zichen reached out his hand and removed the sealed acupoints of a few warriors, which staggered a few times before being able to move. Then, they left the hall with a red face.
"My child, Marquis Hua Lun was just defending His Majesty's dignity and the laws of the Empire. Moreover, he is a noble after all, so how about you spare him?"
He looked at Old Madame and said, "He's not a child! "As an adult, regardless of his status or where she comes from, she should be responsible for what she says or she won't deserve to be called a human. Perhaps in your eyes, my mother is just a lowly servant that anyone can order around, but in my eyes, she gave me life and raised me into an adult, she is extremely noble, and you nobles are no different from trash in my eyes!"
He then looked at the emperor and said, "You can ask your subjects what nobility represents in their eyes. Therefore, Your Majesty, please forgive me for not accepting your title of noble. " After saying that, he turned around and walked out. His back looked so lonely and desolate, causing Ji Old Madame's heart to ache.
