"The officiant left Ampelsel three days later. He is now in the meditation room and does not receive any guests, Miss Magdale.\\9vk.com first release\\" The guards of the temple were wearing red robes, and their silver breastplates were shining in the sunlight.
Their eyes were shining brightly, they were holding spears, and although they had polite smiles, they did not look accommodating at all.
The nun princess sighed softly.
She looked back.
The dome of the temple is bathed in infinite light, but it seems to reflect the last ray of light of the kingdom. In the hazy light and shadow, the bells echo, announcing the end of an era. The Loksh Palace
Inside, six grand dukes and their envoys sat on both sides of a round table and began to carve up the remaining richness of the kingdom - knives, forks and fish were all on the plate.
…
The buzzing discussion rose up, and the palace vault supported by black jade beams echoed the sighs of thousands of years. Among the many different opinions, only one voice solemnly declared:
"Since the founding of Eruin, the late king Ek led the people to overcome obstacles and build this glorious paradise from the wilderness. The late king swore an oath that the nobles and the people would jointly decide the fate of this kingdom. Today, the kingdom
Facing division once again, we gather here because we cannot bear the innocent lives lost in the war, put our fingers on the sword, and make a new contract for the future of the kingdom——"
After Grand Duke Sifah read this oath, he raised his head, and the hall became as silent as winter snow; his eyes shone with a cold and wild light, "All my colleagues present, as long as anyone still agrees with this ancient contract,
, then please raise your hands like me to prove that the blood of the Eruin nobles is flowing in your body." After saying that, he slowly raised his right hand, as if he was holding a sharp sword and pointing to the sky.
The giant beast bared its fangs in the shadows.
The venue was filled with noise. Except for the two Cruz bishops, everyone stood up and raised their right hands; just like their ancestors had done in the wilderness - the ancient nobles crossed their swords.
Together, we made a sacred oath in front of the Lion Heart Sword——
'I swear to lead my people——'
'Lead them away from strife and killing, and away from the arrogance and greed of the imperial nobles; I swear that in order not to repeat this cold-blooded mistake of history, I will make the nobles of this new kingdom abide by the spirit of chivalry - justice, strictness, integrity
Brave, merciful and generous, I take this oath and will keep it to the best of my life!'
Brando was the last to get up.
He raised his hand, but watched all this with cold eyes. These people not only lost the Lion Heart Sword, but also the sword in their hands, so they had long forgotten the sacred oath. The sacred contract also lost its validity, and the kingdom became a city.
As a phantom, the vast territory melted like ice and snow in front of him, from mountains to plains, from forests to oceans, and from then on only one voice echoed.
revolution.
Brando gently closed his eyelids, and the Sword of the Earth vibrated just a few feet away from him, as if feeling the owner's agitated mood. The sword was about to break out of the box, but Brando calmed down a little - not yet
By that time, the flames are spreading from the ground, and the magma will cover everything in it, but it's not yet time.
"Two hundred and sixty years ago, my ancestor, the last king of the Sifah dynasty, gave up the throne to His Majesty Luxon I because he lost the responsibility of the Lion-Hearted Sword. He was also the founder of the Korcova dynasty, Elu
As the founder of Zhongxing, it is undeniable that this wise king created the prosperity of Eruin that lasted for nearly a hundred years. However, two centuries later, the kingdom declined again, and history returned to its original point——"
Duke Sifah continued: "My niece, Her Royal Highness Princess Griffin, is a descendant of Emperor Luxon I, so do you agree with this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another discussion in the darkness around him. Everyone knew that beneath the high-sounding rhetoric was naked power that could not be concealed, but it had to be said that Duke Sifah's lines still caused a lot of excitement.
Human resonance. It is undeniable that the Corcova royal family bears an unshirkable responsibility for the decline of Eruin.
Everyone turned their attention to Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the kingdom. Princess Griffith raised her head without changing her expression: "I don't agree with your words, Your Majesty the Duke."
There was an uproar.
Brando looked at the princess. He knew that she had a noble wish in her heart, but she had to commit herself to the mud. He wanted to see what she would say and how she would support Eruin in the darkness.
That fragile belief. Compared with the shining ten years after Eruin, now is undoubtedly the darkest moment before dawn.
Anlek remained expressionless and said nothing.&*.
"".
com fastest update ＊＊ Almost everyone is on the side of Grand Duke Sifah. Her Royal Highness the Princess is like a lonely boat in the storm, and the royal party who seems to be inseparable from her can't even make a weak sound at this moment.
"So, the Corcova family intends to abandon everyone and go its own way?" Grand Duke Sifah's face turned cold, and his voice was as sharp as thunder.
"The Corcova royal family will fulfill its royal responsibilities, but if some people want to break the agreement made by the sages, then I will never take a step back." Griffin replied without fear.
"What did you say?"
"According to the agreement, my brother is the legal heir of the kingdom. No matter how clever you are, my uncle - you can't change this fact. As for my brother, the Corcova royal family will never allow a murderer.
The man whose father killed the king ascended the throne, let alone my stepmother, the Queen. As long as I live here, I will never allow her to break the sacred covenant with those villains and trap Eruin in an unjust place.
"
As soon as Her Royal Highness the Princess said this, the venue was so quiet that one could hear it. Although everyone present knew that the death of Obergu VII might be a bit strange, they never imagined that the princess of the kingdom would be so strong-willed.
At this time, he told these shady things on the spot, so much so that Grand Duke Sifah took a breath of cold air and turned pale.
"Nonsense!" Grand Duke Sifah angrily yelled: "Your Royal Highness, please maintain your identity!"
"Self-identity?" Griffith seemed to be irritated. She clenched her teeth and clenched her fists: "Your Majesty, Duke, you want me to maintain my identity? Then let me ask you, who and what happened to my father when he was dying?
He is together? Then let me ask you, when my father secretly gave me a secret message asking me to rescue him, I was blocked outside the palace gate. Where were you? As a child, you can only watch your own.
My father died at the hands of a treacherous villain - Lord Duke, will you still let me maintain my identity?"
At the end of her words, her voice was close to a sob. Everyone saw that the strong princess actually shed tears. She was shaking all over and clenching her fists, but she still proudly held her chest out and faced all her enemies proudly. This
For a moment, she was no longer the princess of Eruin, but just a daughter who was filled with grief and anger for her father. However, the pride of the royal family overlapped heavily on him, which actually made everyone feel like Obergu VII.
In front of them, the delusion accused the queen and her party of crimes.
Everyone looked at each other.
Most of the nobles turned their attention to Grand Duke Sifah and the chief priests of the temple.
Grand Duke Sifah's face was pale, as if he had been pricked by Griffin's gaze. He took a step back and couldn't help but exchange colors with Archpriest Meros not far away before he could calm down. "Your Highness, Princess, I think
You may be too excited. The late king's physical condition has always been poor. There may be some misunderstanding here..." He was well aware of what his sister had done and couldn't help but reply a little sarcastically.
Griffith bit his lower lip and stared at him fiercely.
At this time, Meros finally came to the rescue: "Your Royal Highness, I understand your mood, but what we are discussing in this venue now is not the death of His Majesty Obergu VII. Please also pray for Eruin's thousands of
People consider that once the kingdom falls into war and all lives are devastated, it will be your father's people who are sacrificed. The late King Ek is here, and I am afraid he will not have the heart to let such a thing happen. Everyone here still remembers the words you engraved on the sword.
An oath?"
Although the new chief priest's face was gloomy, his voice was unusually gentle, as if he had a power to confuse people. Brando secretly screamed loudly, thinking that he hadn't paid much attention to this old guy before, and then he realized that this guy turned out to be Eruin.
Pass, the moment he opened his mouth he hit the soft spot of Her Royal Highness the Princess. As expected, none of the senior figures in the Temple of Fire were interested. He looked at Griffith again, wanting to see how Her Royal Highness the Princess would answer.
"Once the kingdom falls into war," Her Royal Highness the Princess turned her head, with tears still on her cheeks, she smiled sadly: "Eru is so poor and weak, but you still don't want to repent. The kingdom falls into war - the kingdom will surely fall into
After a hundred years of war, there are only ruins left on this land. I don’t know what face you have to meet the Xiangulie tribe of Eruin, and what face do you have to meet His Majesty the late King Ek?"
There was an uproar in the hall.
Brando almost jumped out of his seat in shock. He stared at this frail half-elf girl who was only seventeen years old. She stood there, isolated and helpless, but her eyes seemed to penetrate history.
Through the fog, she saw the inevitable ending of Eruin. She actually saw it? She actually saw it!
Brando always thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess chose the wrong path and eventually went into the abyss with the kingdom. But he did not expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess had already seen her fate, and had long seen the path leading to darkness and thorns.
Blood flowing, burning in the flames of hell with irreversible destruction——
What kind of power controls her? Is it just to support a hope? Or is it the responsibility of the royal family? Brando looked at this seventeen-year-old half-elf girl and felt a little breathless for a moment.
"Your Highness, you are alarmist." Meros replied calmly: "The Temple of Fire will never allow the kingdom it protects to be destroyed."
Griffin glanced at him calmly and said, "Master officiant, please tell me."
"It's time for Eruin to choose a new master. All the nobles of the kingdom are here. According to the ancient agreement, let them once again decide the fate of the kingdom." Meros replied: "I guess this will be the case too.
It is the voice of this ancient kingdom, and we let it echo in this sacred hall once again, signing the sacred contract, and the glory and justice are all here."
Duke Sifah looked elated, Grand Duke Anlek had his eyelids lowered and his face was expressionless. Most of the other nobles agreed. Only the envoy of Archduke Viero did not make any statement, and Count Yanirasu, the navy
The admiral turned his attention to Her Royal Highness the Princess and expressed his opinion.
For a time, there was a one-sided situation in the huge villa. The royal party turned their attention to Grand Duke Anlek, but did not get the slightest response from the latter. Seeing this scene, Brando couldn't help but
He was slightly surprised in his heart; this was very different from history, the royal party was actually at an absolute disadvantage at the meeting. He stared at Alek coldly, and placed it on the hilt of the Sword of the Earth through the dimensional hole.
His hands loosened slightly.
The development of the situation exceeded his expectations, causing him to suppress his murderous intention again.
Fortunately, I can take another look.
"your Highness?"
"I will never allow it." Griffin seemed to have expected such a situation, and replied coldly and decisively.
"Your Royal Highness, I suggest you not to have your own way," Bishop Meros's face changed. Unexpectedly, the princess would not even give him face: "Even the royal family needs nobles to rule the country. If you have your own way, you will only have your own way."
It will cause the Corcova family to rebel - I think you don't want the nobles of the kingdom to kill each other?"
This is a naked threat.
But there was no trace of fear on the princess's face. She replied calmly: "There is no other king on the throne. When the nobles bleed, Eruin will choose a new king, but there is still one condition that needs to be met. I think, everyone
Have you forgotten the ancient oath?"
Lionheart Sword.
Everyone's expressions changed, and then they remembered that if Duke Sifah wanted to establish another king, he must first follow the oath of the late king Ek. If one day, the nobles of Eruin forget their responsibilities, then this sword
Go back to where you came from, and no longer protect this country.' Retrieve the Lion's Heart Sword. This sword has been lost for more than 260 years, and no one knows its whereabouts.
And this sword happens to be lost by the Sifah dynasty, and it is also the reason why the last generation of kings of the Sifah dynasty gave way to the Corcova family. The fact that this sword does not return proves that the Sifah family has never returned.
Qualifications for the throne.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. The oath of the late Lord Ek was a heavy shackle locked in the hearts of the Eruin nobles. It was the foundation of Eruin's country. No one dared to deny it, because that would be tantamount to denial.
The very existence of the nobility. As soon as the princess said this, the hall became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Then, everyone suddenly remembered something. Everyone present turned around and looked in the direction of Brando.
To be precise, it fell on the Earl of Yanbao, Delphiri.
Brando was slightly startled, and he turned around. Only then did he realize that there was no surprise on the countess's face. She seemed to have expected this scene, and her expression was calm, but her white face was a little dazed - she looked at the princess not far away.
Rifein, there was some kind of complicated struggle hidden in his eyes.
"Delfry?"
"Mr. Brando, tell me, does Lady Martha always look after the pure and just people?" Miss Countess let out a light breath and suddenly asked in a subtle way.
Brando was slightly startled, but Count Delfiri of Yanbao had already stood up in front of everyone. She wore the glorious emblem of the family on her chest - the coat of arms of a broken sword. Brando looked at this
The coat of arms suddenly remembered something. A rumor about the most mysterious family in the kingdom. His expression changed, but the Countess had already spoken to Princess Griffin in the distance: "The Sword Guard Family
I would like to greet the King of Eruin, Her Royal Highness the Princess. Three months ago... the sword base of the Lion Heart Sword was broken, and it was time for the kingdom to choose a new master..."
When Delphire answered like this, her body couldn't help but tremble. She was Griffin's best friend, but she knew that when she said this, she was hurting him.
"I'm sorry, Griffin, I don't know why this is happening. Once the sword holder is broken, the sword guarding family will also lose the meaning of existence. Your Highness..." After saying that, the Countess couldn't help crying.
"It doesn't matter, Delphire, the kingdom will give you glory again. The Lion-Hearted Holy Sword will never let down anyone who is loyal to this kingdom or its subjects-" Griffin smiled slightly, and she raised her head.
At the beginning, I happened to see Grand Duke Sifah, who looked confident of victory, and Meros, who had a gloomy expression. "Your Royal Highness, the facts are in front of you." Grand Duke Sifah said proudly: "The holy sword holder is broken, Cole
It is meaningless for the royal family of Kowa to continue to sit on the throne, and it is time for the kingdom to choose a new king."
"According to the sacred agreement, it is time to return the choice to the nobles of Eruin." Meros also nodded.
"Really, then who do you think is the new king of Eruin?" Princess Griffiin suddenly asked.
"Of course -" Grand Duke Sifah spoke immediately. He knew that the nobles present had already been subdued by the Temple, even Grand Duke Anlek. The Temple fully supported the Sifah family to regain control of Eruin.
, now it seems that even God is on his side, as the shattering of the Holy Sword Seat can illustrate all this - he is so satisfied that he just waits to say the name that cannot be changed.
But at this moment, Grand Duke Sifah opened his mouth, as if he had seen a ghost - and found that he could no longer speak.
Because he saw a girl.
In other words, it should be a trainee female knight. The female knight is standing next to Her Royal Highness. The Archduke Sifah looks familiar to her - by the way, this girl has the famous "Scepter of Fire" vaguely on her face.
'Could the shadow of Everton be his descendant? But this is not the key. The key lies in the sword held high in the hands of the female knight.
The sword is four feet long, the guards are like outstretched wings, the golden lion bites the sword, and the blade is as cold as a pool of snow and silver.
The blade of the sword swayed slightly, then was raised high and bright. The light on the sword was like the first ray of sunshine from the melting snow in winter, flowing into the eyes of everyone present.
Lion-Hearted Holy Sword——
"This is impossible!" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but scream.
"If one day, the Eruin nobles forget their duties, then this sword will go back to where it came from and will no longer protect this country. But as long as there are still people loyal to the oath on the sword, it will still
Protecting everything that belongs to this glorious land - the Corcova family has never forgotten the oath of their ancestors. I wonder what about all the gentlemen here?" Griffin looked at the sword and was a little drunk.
, but she turned around and asked in a cold voice.
"No," Grand Duke Sifah was speechless by this dramatic scene: "No, this can't be true! The Lion-Hearted Sword has been lost for more than two to three hundred years. Without a trace, they will never be able to
Find it. Priest Meros, please believe me, this must be a fake."
Priest Meros also turned back, staring at Griffith with a sharp gaze like an eagle: "Her Royal Highness, can you prove that the Lion Heart Sword in your hand is the real Lion Heart Sword of Ek?"
"Master officiant, do you suspect me of lying on this occasion?" Griffin asked coldly.
"No, I just maintain the necessary rigor of a notary, Your Highness Princess."
Griffith frowned. The hall fell into silence for a while. The Lion-Hearted Holy Sword was like a symbol of Eruin. No one thought that the high priest and Grand Duke Sifah would dare to deny it in front of this sword.
, some smart people may have noticed immediately that the conflict between the two parties may have reached the point of endless conflict. But everyone was staring at the princess and Grand Duke Sifah, wanting to see the final result of this confrontation.
Even Grand Duke Anlek raised his eyelids slightly for the first time.
And it was at this time that a calm, solemn voice sounded from outside the hall: "I can prove that this sword is the real Lion Heart Sword——"
Everyone turned around in shock, and the door of Lokesh Palace opened. A figure walked into the hall in the sunlight flowing in from outside the door. He was carrying a light, and the light behind him was like a sharp sword.
Everyone couldn't help but squint their eyes - but the handles of these sharp swords disappeared, and then everyone saw clearly the person who came - it was a knight wrapped in emerald green armor.
"Ah!" Countess Delphire was so frightened that she sat down on the chair blankly: "How is it possible..."
This is... the Knight of the Lake! Brando also stood up from his seat. He suddenly felt that history was so amazing.
