The emperor slowly stroked his beard. "The Inquisition? I naturally believe in their strength. However, you should also warn them not to casually capture others. Although their beliefs are different, the majority of my citizens are kind-hearted. " Anthony smiled without saying a word.
Nicholas indifferently said: "Before God, everyone is equal. The glory of God will bathe everyone in their glory." The old emperor did not answer his question and smiled: "Sir Nicholas, the reason I'm hosting this banquet today is to send you off. I've come to ask you to look at the back of my Klein Empire and to see if they are capable of making anything of us. "But please wait a moment, two have not arrived yet." Nicholas laughed: "Since Your Majesty is interested, Nicholas will naturally follow your orders."
After waiting for less than half an hour, the eunuch shouted, "His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! His Highness the Prince has arrived! Your Highness, the Grand Princess Katherine has arrived! " This time, the crowd exploded. The two princes were fine, but the eldest princess was studying in the neutral alliance and had suddenly returned. She must have come for the commander Nicholas. In fact, there had already been rumors about this amongst the aristocratic circles in the imperial city. It was said that the crown prince had intended for the Grand Princess to be associated with Nicholas.
Nicholas represented the younger generation of the Holy See, and his teacher, Victor, was on the surface a sword god. As long as he became his own son-in-law, he would be able to take over half of the Holy Church. Whether or not this matter would succeed would depend on both of them, but most importantly, the supreme emperor had yet to express his opinion. Thus, the return of the Grand Princess caused quite a stir.
Werther craned his neck curiously. The first person to enter was a round-built fellow dressed in the attire of a prince. He had a kind smile on his face, and was naturally the crown prince of the Empire. Behind him was the thin figure of the Second Prince with a calm expression. Behind him was a slender and elegant figure wearing a dark blue mage's robe. She was extremely beautiful, but there was not a trace of a smile on her ice-cold face. This beauty was naturally the Eldest Princess of the Empire, followed by the second prince's son, Count Jacobi. Zinter followed behind her cousin with a wonderful expression on her face. She looked both awkward and helpless, even pretending to have a friendly smile on her face.
Sophia, Betty, and the Grand Princess each had their own unique traits. Sophia was valiant, valiant, and somewhat delicate, while Betty was born with surging murderous intent, which concealed her natural beauty. Although this Prince was also cold, it was not the result of overflowing killing intent, but a kind of pride, a kind of innate pride, a sense of superiority that looked down on all living beings. In her eyes, perhaps only an opponent of equal strength was worth communicating with.
Four members of the direct line of descent came to the main hall and knelt down to salute the Emperor. As for the second son of the Crown Prince, he was too young to follow along. As for the mysterious Shadow Sword Saint, he also did not sense his aura. In such an occasion, it would be inconvenient for him to appear as an assassin hidden in the darkness.
The emperor was extremely happy as he smiled and said, "No need to stand here, all of you. Catherine, my dear granddaughter, is back. Eh, you've been promoted to Magister? Good! "As expected of a descendant of my Klein family, not bad!" The Second Prince looked at his son with a smile. Jacobi was too embarrassed to look at his son, so he simply lowered his head. Kathleen slightly opened her cherry lips, letting out a crisp sound, but there was still a hint of coldness in her tone, "Reporting to my Royal Grandfather, my granddaughter just recently advanced. I heard that the experts of the Church have come to the empire, so I came back to take a look." He looked at Nicholas defiantly. Nicholas just smiled.
The nobles below fell into a state of deep shock. As everyone knew, the higher the cultivation level of magic qi, the more difficult it would be. There were even many experts who would be stuck at the same level for decades without being able to progress. And how old is this Grand Princess? Only 22 years old! A twenty-two year old Magister? Oh, God, what a genius! It was a perfect match for Nicholas, who was not even thirty years old and was about to enter the ranks of Sword Saints!
The servant outside the door suddenly began to sing again. "Duke Rhonda, audience!" A white-haired old man wearing a military uniform slowly led a youngster in. This old man was one of the top military officials in charge of over seventy percent of the Klein Empire's military power, the head of the Royal Military Academy, Duke Emerald. This old man was one of the top military officials in charge of over seventy percent of the Klein Empire, the head of the Royal Military Academy, Duke Emerald. Werther was secretly delighted. "Wow, I finally saw the love triangle of another world. I heard that he is also a genius, and his teacher is the Great Sword Saint. Furthermore, he fell in love with this beautiful Grand Princess at first sight, and even followed her to the Alliance of Trust Gods to study. " It was obvious that the nobles present also knew of this news, and they all revealed expressions of interest as they watched the situation unfold.
The grand duke and his grandson greeted the emperor. Klein VII was very happy and said, "Amos, my old friend, I am very happy today. Look, the young generation with the greatest potential in our empire has gathered in this hall. "How many years has it been since our palace has been so lively!"
The old duke maintained a humble smile, but his tone was much more relaxed. "Yes, Your Majesty. I am very happy to see these youngsters as well." The emperor was excited. He raised the wine cup in his hand and said loudly, "Citizens of the various empires, come! Cheers for tonight's gathering of the younger generation and for tomorrow of the empire!" All the subjects shouted together, "Cheers!" Then there was the sound of clinking cups, and everyone drank it all in one gulp.
Then the Royal Orchestra played soft music, and the nobles gathered in twos and threes to talk, but their eyes never left the real protagonists of the evening, the emperor's family and Nicholas. The emperor chatted with his son and grandchildren for a while, entertaining the Grand Princess, then joked with the grand duke in a low voice. Finally, he suddenly waved his hand and called the father and son to his side. He looked at Werther and asked, "James, is this your son? It's not bad at all. From a waste of a demonic martial artist, to be able to reach such a level in such a short amount of time, it's very, very good! " James said calmly, "It's all thanks to the effects of the medicinal herbs. It's nothing. "I'm afraid there will be very little room for ascension in the future."
Werther smiled modestly. He could barely feel any pressure when facing this old emperor. On the contrary, he even felt a faint sense of intimacy. He even felt that if there weren't so many people present, His Majesty would even touch his own head.
The old emperor laughed, "Little guy, I heard that the Right Premier gave you a Black Dragon Dagger as a greeting gift? His actions were very generous! " The Right Prime Minister quickly came over and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, I only like this little guy. I didn't expect that a dagger would almost take his life." James said, "Lord Right Prime Minister, there is no need to blame yourself. I have already returned that dagger to the elves. The dark elves will not come looking for him in the future." Besides, so what if they found him? Is my son that easy to kill!? "
The old king laughed, "James, why don't you accompany Sophia? It is not a gentleman's thing to leave a lady behind. Stay your son, I will take care of him for you! " Count Roland's face stiffened, but he did not dare to refute. He obediently walked away. Sophia, who was originally bored to death, had a pleasantly surprised expression on her face the moment she saw James walking over. She hurriedly went up to him.
The Right Prime Minister's eyes were filled with boundless love as he said in a low voice, "Thank you, your Majesty." The old emperor waved his hand. "I am glad to see such a pair of men." He said to Werther, "Little guy, your father is my most respected subject. You have to grow up well and contribute to the Empire in the future. I know your family, and now I am going to introduce them to you! " With a wave of his hand, his son and grandchildren all surrounded him, pointing at the two princes as he introduced them, "This is my son, boss and second brother." This is my granddaughter, my grandson, and I didn't bring the young one out. Do you know him? "
Werther couldn't do anything but bow to them one by one, secretly cursing the old Emperor for having too many things happen to him. He even made a matchmaker for his father, but left himself to be subjected to the punishment of living. The Crown Prince looked kind as he laughed, "Royal father, is this Duke Roland's son? "He really is a genius!" asked Werther, holding his hand. Werther could only feign politeness while cursing in his heart, "As the crown prince of a country, even if you want to take the path of kinship with the people, you don't have to be so explicit, do you?" Sure enough, it angered the Second Prince at the side. He coughed and said, "Royal brother, he's still young. If you pull him like this, he'll be scared." The Crown Prince released her and smiled awkwardly, "Really? "Haha, thankfully I was warned by you, royal brother. Otherwise, if I had frightened that little kid, wouldn't Count Roland have come looking for me to fight with his life, haha." His smile was kind, but Werther could clearly see the anger that flashed in his eyes.
