The royal knights stood at either side holding up their swords from the royal court to the festive palace in order to welcome the Emperor.
They had finished lining up two hours before the scheduled time for the emperor to arrive.
The knights weeping shining armor raised their swords in synchronization as they noticed the arrival of their lord, the Emperor Kaiser Von Brittan.
"""ALL HAIL THE EMPEROR"""
"""ALL HAIL THE EMPEROR"""
Kaiser stood silently and stared at everyone, and nodded in satisfaction after a while. Immediately, all the swords returned to their original positions, by the knight's sides.
Soon enough, from behind the emperor arrived his consorts.
The royal queen, Guinevere Brittan and her children, the crown prince Nox Von Brittan and the royal princess, Aurora Von Brittan were immediately behind the emperor and behind them was Lady Aquintine Brittan and her son, the second prince, Evergrant Von Brittan.
And behind all of them stood the third prince, Ashborn Von Brittan, alone.
As his mother was not the official wife of the emperor, she wasn't allowed to attend the royal banquet, so he had to attend the ceremony alone.
Queen Guinevere walked over and stood beside the emperor. Kaiser Von Brittan looked back at his family for a movement.
Queen Guinevere has an arrogant smile on her face and from her action, he could clearly notice what she was thinking.
Ever since Evergrant renounced his right for the throne, Nox was convinced that he'd become the next emperor. He considered the 'battle for the throne' a walk in the park and believed that the throne was guaranteed to be his.
Kaiser actually thought that Evergrant was more suited for the throne, despite the fact that Evergrant didn't like to become the emperor.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
He could clearly see the intention of Nox's face but he didn't react to them.
Then without reacting to anyone he walked ahead, walking past the soldiers who stood with solemn expressions.
He was the first to enter the Festive palace and the servants welcomed him with utmost respect.
And since the emperor had arrived, the guests began to enter the festive palace.
There were nobles from every region of the Mauryan empire, delegates from the different nations, the imperial guards to ensure the safety during the banquet, not like anyone would try to do something when all the four supreme stars would be present there.
"Remember Eren, you are the heir to the Pendragons, you will succeed me someday. Don't be drawn to these materialist things, they are only temporary."
It seemed like Hubert was worried about his son being drawn to the luxury of the royal palace. It was only natural since from his perspective, Eren was still a 14 year old child, and in this age, being drawn to materialistic things was very natural.
"Don't worry father, I have no interest in Gold or Gilds."
But he was worried for nothing, for his son, Eren Pendragon had known this truth better than anyone.
In his previous life, Eren had gone from a rich noble to a homeless person in just one day. His whole family and their assets were burned alive, and neither their wealth nor their assets came to their rescue.
And he had long lost the desires for materialistic wealth.
Hubert who heard his son's resolute words had a satisfied smile on his face.
He felt like his son had become more mature in the time that he haven't seen him.
'Children grow too fast.'
He thought of seeing his son and placed his hand on his head.
"Now, go forward, many of them are waiting to meet the 'Sleeping Pendragon'. Enjoy the banquet for today, no need to hold back because of your father."
Although Hubert wanted his son to grow up upright, he also didn't want to take away the joy of being a child from his son.
He was young and there would be many opportunities for Eren to learn, if he makes a mistake then he could simply correct them. Holding him back because of his selfish desires didn't seem right to Hubert, so he pushed his son forward while he placed his hand over his wife's shoulder.
Eren scratched his head hearing his father tease him and walked forward with a smile.
Hubert and Sears watched their son walk forward with a smile on their face and both of them had the same thought in their head.
'He has grown so much...'
