King Larus III, the Fire Jumper, came here at the stroke of seven o'clock. The king had many things to do, and everyone expressed their understanding.
Ten minutes before the king arrived, the king's attendants found Shade and informed him that he would be awarded the title of knight in ten minutes, so he now needed to urgently train on the procedures and etiquette.
"No need, I've already learned it once."
Xia De quickly waved his hand and refused, and the attendant did not ask any more questions. He just asked Xia De not to return to the banquet hall, but to wait with the attendant to prevent him from finding anyone for a while.
So the whole process went on in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere reached its peak with the arrival of His Majesty the King. Under the crystal chandelier that seemed to be worth thousands of millias, the king and the queen attended the scene together and delivered a speech.
Shade listened on the sidelines. The general meaning of his speech was that Queen Diana was safe and all conspiracies would be foiled. The royal family once again issued a condemnation of Kasenrik.
After the reporters who had been summoned lit up their magnesium flashlights, filling the place with dazzling white light and drifting smoke, His Majesty the King briefly talked about the recent disturbing cases of missing children.
He only spoke a few words and then left temporarily. Representatives of Ridwich Field reported the follow-up situation to the guests at the banquet. The specially invited reporters had already received the speech and were looking for suitable angles to take pictures.
Tomorrow's front page headline will definitely be the photo of His Majesty the King and the safe Queen Diana, while Ledwich Field and the series of missing children cases can be ranked on the third page.
As for the protagonist who had already booked the second version, he was looking around the banquet hall. This was a quite formal banquet. The gentlemen and ladies were all dressed in the most appropriate clothes, and even the maids and servants were in uniform.
Shade still didn't know whether the Miss Bayas he saw just now was a dazzle or something else, but after twenty minutes, he couldn't see that figure again.
The speeches of the king and the police chief echoed in his ears, but Shade was too distracted to listen. The things they told were either Shade already knew, or they were not the truth at all. Boring speeches are the same in any world.
People are drowsy.
He even thought that these speeches were not as interesting as the Rhodes card for a while.
I suddenly came back to my senses when I heard my name, and it turned out that I had already reached the conclusion stage of the case:
"So, the enthusiastic citizen Mr. Hamilton and the loyal Captain Lades worked together to assist Ridwich Field in destroying the case of missing children in Tobesk City in the summer of 1053. Mr. Hamilton even showed his love for the royal family during this period.
Loyalty and her own bravery protected Queen Diana from the assassins."
He nodded slightly in the direction of Sha De and saluted. People nearby also looked over. Sha De immediately stood up and returned the salute, then continued to sit down and wait for his turn.
But after that, more and more people were quietly watching Sha De. The young detective's good looks and relaxed posture made it easy for people to like him. Sha De himself didn't realize this. All his thoughts were on
On the matter of "Is Miss Bayas a hallucination?"
The last link was to discuss merit and give awards, with the king's attendant reading out the list of awards. Xia De believed that putting this link at the end was to prevent the recipient from paying attention to the previous official speech after winning the award.
There is no rule of alphabetical order here. The first name mentioned is "Shad Hamilton". The aide read the resolution loudly, and Shad also stood up:
"In view of the bravery and integrity shown by Mr. Shard Suellen Hamilton, as well as his great loyalty to the Crown, after discussion in Parliament and deliberation of the Crown——"
It was a very deliberate pause, but it also aroused the mood very well.
"Mr. Hamilton is hereby granted the title of 'Knight of Rejed'."
After the voice fell, the banquet hall was silent for a few seconds, and then the sound spread from the front to the entire banquet hall.
This matter had obviously not been leaked before the banquet, so when the title of knighthood, which had not been awarded for hundreds of years, was mentioned, even the most well-behaved people could not help but talk to each other in low voices.
Everyone looked at the young man who stood up. Shade nodded to everyone who looked at him, and everyone returned the favor. Especially the young girls, those eager eyes from all directions made Shade feel
My body temperature is rising.
【how do you feel?】
she asked softly in his ear.
"It's pretty good. Fortunately, I didn't bring little Mia out, otherwise the timid cat would definitely be frightened by this scene."
He was joking in his mind, but he was actually in a pretty good mood.
At the same time as the discussion started, the band that had been prepared played music, and the king and queen led dozens of people, including Miss Carina, to appear to confer a medal on Shade.
Normally, the awarding of titles does not require so many people, but this time it was to protect the queen, and the royal family certainly made a good gesture.
When the king, whose hairline was worrying, called out Shade's name, a pair of servants laid out another layer of red carpet on top of the original carpet, extending from the height where the king stood to the main entrance of the banquet hall.
Shade adjusted his clothes before walking onto the red carpet. Then, under the gaze of the guests attending the banquet, he walked along the red carpet to the king.
Everyone present looked at Sha De, but the outsider did not feel nervous at all:
"That's not even as many people as when the degrees were awarded."
He said in his heart, and then saluted according to the etiquette he learned not long ago. The attendant pressed his hands down to ask people to be quiet. At this time, the trombones and French horns of the band made a low and majestic sound.
The flashlight kept flashing. King Larousse III took a long sword from the attendant beside him and put the long sword on Shade's shoulder. This action can be paused for three seconds to facilitate reporters to take pictures. As tomorrow's second
version of the photo.
The subsequent process seemed quite boring to Shade. The king read out the royal family's decision to grant the title of knight and encouraged Shade to continue to show his loyalty and bravery.
Then the knight's medal and sword were handed to Shade, and the two stood together for reporters to take pictures.
Shade noticed that the middle-aged king next to him was definitely not as tall as himself, but he wore a pair of high-heeled boots with sapphire buttons on the boots.
With today's black-and-white photography technology and newspaper printing technology, tomorrow's newspaper photos will definitely not let the public discover the secret of the King's boots. In this way, it will be Larrous III wearing a crown than Shade without a hat.
A little higher.
"It turns out that Miss Servitt repeatedly told me not to wear a hat just now. It's for this reason."
Shade thought in his mind, and then heard the old cameraman who got behind the camera mask loudly reminding him to look at the lens.
Thinking of Mia running to the door on time every morning to remind him to get the goat's milk, a natural smile appeared on Shade's lips.
Flashlights flashed, and burning smoke floated into the sky. The banquet hall was brightly lit, and the so-called upper-class nobles applauded and congratulated.
Shade stood side by side with the king, maintaining a fixed smile. The light shone on them, the shadows swayed under their feet, smoke drifted over their heads, waves of sound came, and the warm atmosphere reached its peak at this moment.
Everything in the banquet hall seemed to be moving, but they were the only ones motionless in the interplay of light and shadow.
This scene will be remembered by people for many years.
