"Look at how beautiful the moonlight is tonight. It is rare to see such a beautiful night sky. Just here, look at it for a while."
My head was slightly raised, and under my feet were hard stone slabs. There was no cloud in the sky, there were only a bright night sky.
The moon hangs high in the sky, and the cool light continues to spread from it to the world below.
The face of the old king of the Kingdom of Esk was full of vicissitudes of life. This vicissitudes of life were not shown in the solemn and gorgeous palace. Once you walked out of the palace and came to this vast world, it seemed very obvious.
There were constant clattering sounds on the stone slab under my feet, which were the sound of the old king moving his footsteps, and the sound of the boots and the ground colliding with each other.
Behind him, a group of people stood, all of whom were well-armed guards, not only knights, but also wizards, druids and priests.
The responsibility of protecting the king can be said to be the highest honor for a guard in the Kingdom of Esk, and many people are proud of it. Therefore, these guards standing behind the old king are all concentrated and extremely serious.
On their faces, they are seriousness, responsibility, and the sacred light.
"I need time. As long as I give me a few more years, I can take the governance of the Kingdom of Esk to a higher level. As long as I give me a few more years, I can expand my kingdom and territory. Time, what I need most is time. I hope I can still have time to do these things and do these things I want to do."
With a slight panting, my body seemed to be still very weak. The illness some time ago did not completely recover. The old king covered his chest and felt a little stuffy.
"Your Majesty, it's very windy at night, so go back." An eunuch close to him came over and whispered.
"No, I want to look at the full moon again. This kind of moon has been something I have liked to see since I was a child. Standing here, you can see farther and more clearly. Let me look at it for a while." The old king shook his head and said.
Because the old king had this kind of hobby, he became more and more stubborn as he got older, and the people around him were not willing to persuade him anymore, so they all stepped aside.
The eunuch just now was holding a thicker coat and put it on him carefully. This time, the old king did not object.
His health is no longer enough, and his aging is even worse than what outsiders see. Fortunately, he has a good son to share government affairs for him.
If the second son is the same as the other two sons, then he will really collapse.
Thinking of Prince Xiusenya, a smile finally appeared on the old king's face.
"By the way, has the news been sent back recently?" the old king asked the attendants on both sides.
"Your Majesty, not yet. According to my subordinates, His Royal Highness should be on the way back to the island. When you arrive on the island, you will definitely send you information." A servant replied carefully.
The old king nodded: "Yes, he is a filial child and will not make me anxious about him."
Since Prince Xiusenya became the crown prince of the kingdom, the old king attached great importance to him day by day, and even his travels were always in mind. It can be seen how much hope he had placed on Prince Xiusenya.
After looking up at the moon for a while, the old king decided to return to the palace, so the group of people walked towards the palace from the city gate.
There is a curfew at night in the royal capital, and the movements of the people did not disturb the lives of the people in the royal capital.
When he returned to the palace and was about to rest, a royal wizard suddenly stepped forward to ask for a meeting, saying that the news of Prince Xiusenya had been sent back.
"Hurry up, present the letter." Before the old king fell asleep, he heard the news of his second son coming back, and immediately felt energetic and summoned the imperial wizard.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The imperial wizard handed the letter to the eunuch, who carefully handed the letter to the king.
Opening the cover, pulling out the letter inside, looking at the familiar handwriting on it, the old king's mood suddenly became happy.
However, this pleasure did not last long, and the old king's face showed a look of shock.
"I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." The old king walked off his seat and walked back and forth in the palace, as if he was shocked by something.
"Your Majesty, you..." The people in the hall, including the imperial wizard, looked at the old king nervously.
"I'm fine, you all go down and leave. I'm going to rest." The old king held the letter in his hand and said to everyone present: "Also, tomorrow morning, let Princess Qianniya come here to wait for me, and I have something to tell her."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch on the side responded.
Then, the old king walked out of the hall and slept peacefully under the escort of the eunuch.
The next morning, when the sun shone into the hall, a graceful figure appeared at the door of the hall.
"I've seen the princess." The eunuchs on both sides hurriedly saluted.
"No gift."
Princess Qianniya said, holding the edge of her skirt and walked in from outside.
"Qianniya, you are here." When she entered the hall, the old king was walking back and forth in the hall. After hearing her voice, he suddenly turned around.
"Father, do you have something to come to me?" Princess Qianniya walked over with a smile and asked.
"Yes, I have a task that I want to hand over to you. This letter was sent back by your second brother, please take a look." The old king handed her the letter in his hand.
Princess Qianniya took it in her hand and looked it carefully, with a look of shock on her face: "Earl Tetasha was promoted to level 17 and established a new druid union? Is this true?"
"It's true, so I'm going to send you to congratulate Earl Tetasha on behalf of me." The old king said with a smile.
"Okay, I will definitely complete the task!" Princess Qianniya's eyes lit up and she took on the task.
Three days later, after preparing the gift, she set out in the direction of Tetasha, under the protection of a group of servants.
The big moves of the Tetashaul not only shocked the royal family, but also shocked almost all the forces adjacent to the Tetashaulul.
The temple forces, mainly the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture, were shocked by the actions led by Tetasha. They also used magical message transmission method to quickly convey the news to the headquarters of the Goddess of Agriculture in their country.
After receiving this news, the Archbishop of the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture decided to come to Tetasha to congratulate Romon in person.
This undoubtedly expresses strong support.
"Sir, you are here now, at least you can help the top leader, and my head is about to explode." The government affairs department of Yuanfan Port City was busy, because there was something to deal with, and none of the officials of all sizes were idle.
Nick put down a book, rubbed his eyebrows, and realized that the man in front of him looked extremely leisurely, drinking tea and reading books.
So Nick felt even more depressed.
"Okay, I'll help you sort out these gift lists and see how many guests were participating at the ceremony. Do you think that by then, there will be more than two thousand people?" Romon walked over after taking the last sip of tea, sat next to Nick, and said.
"It's not just two thousand people, but now it's more than this number. Look, in addition to the nobles in the territory and the neighboring nobles, they have also come to congratulate one after another, indicating that they are going to attend the ceremony of that day." Nick put a list in his hand in front of Romon and said.
Although he was a little busy, Nick's face was not only tired, but also more excited, and it was hard to hide his excitement!
By then, there will be more people coming from the territory, which will inevitably stimulate the economy within the territory!
Even if it only takes one week, it will be enough to affect the tax revenue this year’s six months!
Nick is the chief of the territory's internal affairs. How could he not be excited in this situation!
Romon looked through a few pages of the congratulations and unexpectedly discovered the nobles who had had conflicts with him before, and even the Viscount who had fought for power with him was among them. This made him sigh that when the gap between the two people was not big, the person who was low would be jealous and angry, but when the gap between the two people was so big that it was indescribable, jealousy and resentment would basically not appear.
Because the gap is too big, there is no comparison at all.
In recent years, as Romon's own strength and territory become stronger and stronger, the voices of opposing him in the county have gradually disappeared. In other words, it is the voice of trying to repair his relationship with him. Those nobles still want to live a peaceful life.
Putting down the list in his hand, Romon asked: "Is there any news from Prince Xiusenya?"
"Of course, I have sent someone to inform me and say that Your Highness will come here in person. It should be here in the next two days." Nick replied.
Romon nodded: "The relationship with him needs to be maintained. It is better to have as little friction between local nobles and royal families as possible."
"I know, by the way, I just received two news, saying that the royal family sent Princess Qianniya to congratulate him, and now he is on the way. Also, the archbishop of the Temple of the Goddess of Agriculture is already on the way and will personally celebrate with us. On the day of the ceremony, it will definitely be very lively." Nick said.
Romon nodded and said, "Yes, that day will be very lively, and the security work must be done well."
"Don't worry, that guy Fafer has already started preparing." Nick said with a smile.
Romon stood up gently, pushed open the window beside him, looked out from a high place, and looked out from here, and from outside, you can see that there was an extremely prosperous scene outside.
When that day comes, I am afraid that the territory will be even more lively, right?
