King William III of Emsdam did not choose the meeting hall, but met Klaus, a handsome young man who should be his great-nephew, who had come from afar, in a comfortable living room of the Hanting Palace.
This also made him appear closer. After all, he already knew John's true identity from his daughter, and he also expressed his tacit approval of Helena's decisive action.
After John paid his respects, William III looked at him and couldn't help but sigh silently, and then said:
"I have been fighting with Victor all my life. Some were pretending to outsiders, and some were sincere. Unexpectedly, we saw the deaths of three generations of their father, son, and grandson. You are also my bloodline, Heisenser. You must not let down Ke.
The hope of Rouse, his father and grandfather, and finally this crown falls on your head, which can be regarded as fulfilling Victor's wish!"
"Yes! I will definitely not let other careerists take away our glorious crown of Hessenser..."
John made a solemn statement.
He did not take this opportunity to mention the matter of revenge in front of the old king. Those things could only be done after he became the crown prince.
William III secretly nodded to this, obviously quite satisfied with the stable performance of John, a junior. If he is the kind of young man who screams for revenge for Klaus as soon as he comes up, it is obviously not played for him, or his character is impetuous and cannot be used.
.
From the moment John entered the house until now, his every move and every word has been steady and alert. He does not look like a young man in his early twenties, but like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties who has been baptized by society.
However, when he thought of John's intelligence records from childhood to adulthood mentioned in the family intelligence, William III had no doubts. After all, John had always had such a stable character. It can be said that although he was Klaus's attendant and butler, he was not a good person when he encountered
When it comes to things, he is often the one who makes the decision, not that playboy Klaus.
"Now that you are here, I will arrange to hold a family inheritance ceremony for you tonight. I wonder how your strength has recovered?"
John showed a hint of confidence, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, my strength has returned to extraordinary, and it is one step closer. There should be no opponent below silver."
The old king showed a hint of surprise. Although he was old, his former state was still there. Naturally, he could sense that John's power level had almost reached the peak of bronze. He thought that John had already survived at the hands of the Silver Assassin before.
It is not impossible to go one step further after recovering from the disease, and then he said with a pleased smile:
"That's good. I heard that you also have two followers with extraordinary strength, who happened to be taken to the trial world together. It's a good thing that you don't have to use the power of the family. After all, although our Emsdan is not big, it is difficult to keep too many secrets.
, among the assistants I planned to arrange for you, it is not a secret which ones are suitable in the country. Anyone who is interested can know after investigation. Compared with their information, other candidates must have already obtained it, and
I have been prepared for their abilities, and now I am replaced by a strange and extraordinary strong person, maybe I can give those guys a surprise!"
After saying that, he waved his hand for John to leave.
John agreed, saluted again and turned to leave, looking forward to the family inheritance ceremony that the old king mentioned.
The Heisenser family has an ancient origin. It can be traced back to the ancient Holy Empire period two thousand years ago. At that time, Heisenser was a vassal town similar to the vassal town of the Tang Dynasty. However, at that time, the essence of civilization in the Western world was
It has moved from the Mesopotamia to the central and southern parts of Europe, from the current Roman area to the Macedonian Peninsula in the east.
The lowland area where Hessensel is located is still a backcountry full of swamps. It is only a barrier against the invasion of northern barbarians and does not receive the attention of the ancient Holy Empire Council.
However, Haisenser, who has the ancient bloodline of the Hanting family, is still respected by all countries and is a guest of the royal family and nobles.
These Johns have been studying in the family since childhood, but they are not direct descendants after all. Even Lucian and the others don't know many of the inside stories, let alone John, a retainer.
Before leaving the palace, John was stopped by Helena.
"You don't have a house in Barbarossa, so you'll stay in my house first. After the trial is completed, you can move into the Hanting Palace. Selma, go and arrange a carriage for Klaus.
Let his attendants follow and we go home."
Barbarossa is the name of the new royal capital of Emsdan. It is taken from the mortal nickname of the former emperor, the great king of knights, Barbarossa the Redbeard.
Under the leadership of a girl in royal attire with red eyes, John got into the carriage.
The strange thing is that his two attendants, Brother Salvatore, looked very nervous and flustered when they saw this girl who was shorter than his chest and looked slender and frail, but had huge breasts. It was obvious that this girl
His identity is also unusual.
However, John did not rush to spy on the other party's identity. After all, it was Helena's private person. He could ask when he had the opportunity, but he could not be rude.
However, judging from the performance of the vampire brothers and the cold feeling given by this stunning girl, it is obvious that this should be a high-level vampire or a similar high-ranking being, otherwise it would not have such a great sense of oppression on the two brothers.
As for the single breath, the Salvatore brothers' first supporter, the vampire baron-level Elisabeth, did not bring them such great oppression. She was still their superior.
After being arranged to stay in the princess's mansion, John was called into a reception room by the blood-eyed girl as soon as the servants laid down and bowed. Then the princess and his wife also entered the room.
A spiritual force field unfolded, but it was Helena who opened the magic protective barrier in the room. She did not want others to know the contents of their conversation.
Since the last conversation between husband and wife was leaked by the maid, Helena, who had been a little careless in life in the past, became vigilant and specially set up this kind of protective barrier in the house. It can not only isolate the inside and outside, but also play a role
Although a silver-level expert can break through the defense effect with one blow, with that little time to prepare, she can calmly deal with any infiltration and attack. After all, there are many examples of a well-prepared mage overcoming level challenges.
Especially since this is a powerful silver-level high-level mage.
"This is my head maid, and she is also a tribute to our Hessenser family. According to her seniority, you should call her great-great-aunt, haha!"
Helena, the eldest princess, introduced John to Thelma the Blood-pupil, a female official who had served in the Emsdam court for more than a hundred years, and she also made a little joke.
The high-level vampire girl glanced at Helena expressionlessly, and said with a hint of embarrassment in her tone:
"Your Highness Princess, you should know that a woman's age cannot be mentioned casually."
Then turning to John:
"Lord Klaus, please call me Thelma!"
John listened for a while and didn't know what to say. He could only show a kind smile to the girl.
"I understand, Lady Thelma."
Not to mention that he is not the crown prince yet, even if he becomes the crown prince or even the king, facing this boy who is also a great grandson, he must have the due respect. What's more, a woman's age is a taboo that cannot be touched, even if she is a
The same goes for female vampires who live hundreds of years.
The princess's husband, the Marquis of Sabre, didn't say anything. He just looked at his wife the whole time, showing a doting smile. From time to time, the two of them would exchange sweet glances with each other. It was like a scene of dog abuse.
"Thelma, you are still so serious. Okay, let's get down to business, John, no, Klaus, what happened after you went back? Tell me quickly..."
Faced with Princess Helena's curiosity, John had no choice but to tell her a rough summary of the past few days.
Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess exclaimed repeatedly, just like an excited little girl listening to a novel story, not at all like a mature woman who is nearly forty years old.
