Chapter 764: Crown Prince (Part 2)
In the palace, a welcome banquet is in full swing.
As the absolute protagonist of this banquet, Prince Shusenya was surrounded by everyone, like a bright moon surrounded by stars.
At the beginning, the king did not arrive immediately. Although people were chatting after the banquet began, they actually kept their attention at the entrance.
Ten minutes after the banquet, the court musician who was in charge of the music suddenly changed a melodious piece they were playing with a welcome song.
Everyone, including Prince Xiusenya, turned their attention to the entrance, and saw a team of palace guards protecting the current king of the Esk Kingdom, his eldest son and youngest son, walked out together.
Prince Xiusenya's eyes suddenly locked the eldest brother Hailancha, who had a gloomy face behind his father. At the same time, Prince Hailancha also looked over with some notice. The two people's eyes collided with each other at a distance, and sparks flew everywhere.
However, soon Prince Hailancha took his eyes back with a depressed look on his face.
The third prince behind Prince Hailancha had an indifferent look, looking around, looking very curious.
Prince Xiusenya had already realized something in his heart, so he smiled even more indifferently.
"I've seen my father." He hurriedly walked up to the king, with a respectful attitude, which made the king very satisfied.
"Xu Senya, there is no need to be too polite." Since the eldest prince Hailancha suffered a lot of damage in the naval battle, the king has suffered a lot of blows. Looking at his extremely outstanding second son, he is really in a complicated mood, but this complexity is also a bit relieved.
Anyway, at least he has an excellent son.
Afterwards, the king chatted with the nobles present for a few more words. Although his face was a little haggard, he was in good spirits.
Seeing that the king was in good health, the nobles present were naturally very happy. After too long, few people would be happy to have trouble again. It would be a day when they could live in peace.
"Everyone, let's be quiet first. I have one thing to announce at the banquet." After talking to several great nobles, the king suddenly walked to the front of everyone, clapped his hands, and signaled everyone to see.
In fact, although the nobles present were chatting, their attention was actually focused on the king's place. Although the king's voice was not high, as soon as he finished speaking, the huge banquet hall had quieted down, and only the people's breathing was still there.
"Today, all the things that should be come have arrived, and it happened to be the day when Xiu Senya returns to great victory. I think some words are announced today, which is a great opportunity." The king smiled and said this.
Although his tone was very plain, it was like a magic bullet that exploded in the crowd. People heard some information from these seemingly plain words.
First of all, this news needs to be announced when a royal minister and noble family gathers.
Secondly, this news is a good thing, and it was announced at the banquet when Prince Xiusenya returned from the victory. If these three factors are combined, the answer will definitely not be simple.
Maybe……
Will be...
Many nobles looked at the two princes behind the king, and Prince Hailancha became even more and more depressed.
Sure enough, the king quickly spoke, "What I want to announce today is actually, many of you have mentioned to me that I hope I can make some arrangements earlier. In fact, I understand your loyalty to the kingdom very well. However, this matter is definitely not a small matter. It not only requires a long time of observation, but also requires responsibility for the future of the kingdom. I have never officially announced this to everyone. However, today is different. I believe you all know my son Xiu Senya's character and his achievements in recent years. As a prince, he is very outstanding. I think that as the crown prince, he will do well..."
Finally, everyone present was shocked when they heard the word "Crown Prince". Sure enough, they were going to announce who was the Crown Prince!
Although the king had not finished speaking, as long as he was not an idiot, he would know who the crown prince was. People's eyes looked at Prince Xiusenya standing in front of the king. His heroic temperament immediately calmed people's hearts. As the heir to the next king, they recognized such an excellent young man, at least, would not lead the Kingdom of Esk on the road to no return.
Unlike the arrogance that the eldest prince Hailancha occasionally shows, Prince Xiusenya has always been a smart, elegant, humble, knowing how to advance and retreat, and talented person. The victory or defeat of the two people was actually separated a few years ago.
However, if the crown prince’s position is not officially announced for a while, things may change.
Holding everyone's reaction in his eyes, the king's bright voice continued to ring in the banquet hall: "I officially announce that Prince Shusenya will be appointed as the crown prince of King Esk. The ceremony will be officially held in two weeks. At that time, all nobles of all over the country, who are barons or above, will come to the capital to attend this ceremony."
After announcing this order, the king stayed for a while and hurriedly left. At this time, Prince Hailancha could not stay in the banquet hall, and then left with a dark face.
The third prince stepped forward and congratulated his brother.
Prince Shusun Ya, the protagonist of the banquet, was sought after by everyone. After receiving such a great news, he tried hard to maintain a calm and calm attitude, so that everyone who had contacted him would praise him.
After the banquet, after sending invitations from all over the country, they spread out like snowflakes.
Tetashaling also received an invitation. As a local count and a sixteenth-level druid, it was already decided that Romon went to the royal capital to attend the ceremony.
Because there had been speculation about the position of the crown prince in advance, Romon was not surprised when he received this news, but he did feel relieved.
Regardless of whether it is good or bad in the future, at least, in recent years, Prince Xiusenya, a big ally, can become the crown prince of the Esk Kingdom, which will benefit the Tetashaw leader and Romon himself more than harm.
"Romon, when are you going to set out?" said Nick and Fafell, who knew the news.
What they received this time were magic letters, and the day they received was counted from the second day of their acceptance. Thirteen days later, the date of the ceremony will be held.
In this case, you only need to get to the capital at normal speed.
"I'll leave early tomorrow morning and will be able to arrive in five days," said Romon.
Nick and Fafeer also knew that such a thing was necessary for the great nobles to be present, so they all began to help arrange things before Romon set off.
The next morning, Romon took the prepared ship and took some specialties to quickly head towards the royal capital.
Five days later, the boat that Romon was on arrived at the port outside the capital, and with his men, he found a noble inn to stay in.
It was a rest that day, and I sent people to inquire about the news in the royal capital, and I also contacted several nobles, and the days passed quickly.
On the day of the ceremony, the entire palace was extremely lively because it was not inheriting the throne, but only the ceremony of the crown prince was held. There was no grand celebration. However, except for ordinary people, almost all the officials, nobles, merchants, and senior professionals in the capital were moved.
"Duke Miller is here-"
"The Marquis of Brett arrives-"
"Earl Hassudon arrives--"
In the palace, outside the venue where the ceremony was held, there were festive red carpets on the long corridors, and many servants stood on both sides. Whenever an invited nobleman came in from outside, there would be specially trained calligraphers singing the other party's titles and names. Every distance, someone would follow up and sing again, and finally, it would extend to the ceremony venue.
Because of the limited land area, the Esk Kingdom did not have a large territory and resources, and there were not many great nobles in the kingdom.
The palace nobles with empty arsenals were included. In addition to the crown prince Duke of Avina, the kingdom of Esk, there was only one duke, three marquises, and twelve earl leaders. These people were the highest-level personnel in the kingdom outside the royal family.
Originally, this pattern had been maintained for many years, but just this year, there were a little change. The Count's twelve amounts have suddenly increased to thirteen this year.
This extra count was also a young man who started from scratch, which made these original high-level nobles curious and shocked.
When people learned that this new count had another prominent identity, their curiosity became stronger.
When Romon walked in from outside, everyone present looked at him.
Many strange nobles even walked up to him and started chatting with him.
All these show the fact that from now on, Romon has entered the highest realm of the Esk Kingdom.
Although his ranking is still at the end of the highest level, it is only after these sixteen nobles.
In the entire kingdom, except for the royal family and these sixteen nobles, Romon is already the one with the greatest status and power.
And his age and profession are naturally recognized as having unlimited potential.
Romon is now full of social engagements, but no matter how long he is, he will still feel tired of talking more and more people.
Fortunately, at this time, the king and all the royal members appeared and the ceremony officially began.
"Next, the ceremony officially begins, Prince Xiusenya will be appointed Duke of Ivina and take control of the Avina."
In full view of everyone, Prince Xiusenya won the crown of the crown prince. The king smiled and put the crown on his head.
"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness..." People expressed their congratulations.
Chapter completed!
