"What does the Imperial Arms Office do?" On the carriage going to the Arms Office, an idle Lawrence asked the royal attendant sitting opposite. As the name suggests, Lawrence felt that the Arms Office should be something like an archive.
The museum is a place used to record the coats of arms and flags of various nobles and inquire about family genealogy.
But considering that when he visited the Forbidden City in his previous life, he heard from the tour guide that there were a lot of royal institutions that were not true to their name, so Lawrence had an extra thought and asked the equerry in front of him directly about the role of the Palace of Arms.
Sure enough, his worries were not unreasonable. Under the explanation of the royal aide, Lawrence discovered that the Heraldry House had other functions besides those he thought. For example, it registered nobles, helped nobles obtain titles or
It examines the qualifications for inheriting titles, assists the royal family in holding canonization ceremonies, and provides the emperor with consultation on the content of noble canonizations, etc.
According to the attendant, the Heraldry House actually had greater power in the past. It was even able to adjudicate disputes between nobles and deal with nobles who broke the law. But later, with the emperor's reforms, these adjudication powers were transferred to
A special court of nobility. The Chamber of Heraldry has resumed its main functions in the past.
Of course, the House of Arms is an institution that specifically serves the nobility. So it is not surprising that Lawrence had no knowledge of this institution before. After all, for ordinary people, they will never have to deal with the House of Arms in their lives.
The carriage came to a stop in front of a small garden, and then Lawrence, accompanied by the royal attendants, came to the shiny bronze door of a gold and white three-story building in the garden.
After seeing someone walking up the white marble steps, a guard standing in front of the door wearing a blue dress with gold trim stretched out his hand to signal them to stop. However, after the royal guard took out a scroll with a fire seal, he
After checking it carefully, he bowed to Lawrence, then turned around and knocked on the door behind him three times.
As soon as there was a knock on the door, the two doors opened inward. Then Lawrence walked into the splendid hall under the guidance of the royal attendant. But just as he walked in the center of the hall, a man wearing the same blue uniform with gold trim
The staff stepped forward and stopped them.
"Hello!" The staff member first bowed to Lawrence, then straightened up and looked at him and asked. "What are you here for?"
"This Mr. August is here to handle the formalities for seizing the title." The royal attendant said and once again showed the parchment scroll just now. After reading it, the staff immediately invited Lawrence and the others to the second floor.
"The first floor is for nobles who cannot be hereditary, as well as low-class or low-level nobles like knights." Looking at Lawrence staring at the staff sitting at the table on the first floor, this person in front
The staff who led the way explained thoughtfully, "Nobles like you should handle these things on the second floor."
Sure enough, the first floor on the second floor is completely different. The first floor is just some small cubicles separated by wooden boards. Although the condition is good, it is still compared with the tea room on the second floor that is covered with luxurious wallpaper and has top-notch imported carpets on the floor.
It seems a lot cruder.
After sitting down and serving drinks and snacks, another staff member came in holding various documents. He first saluted Lawrence, then sat opposite him and began to handle Lawrence's procedures.
After examining the documents carried by the royal equerry and those mailed by Mr. Lambert from Shaw, his first question confused Lawrence. "Sir, where is your coat of arms?"
"Heraldry? Isn't this it?" Lawrence pointed to a piece of parchment that looked a bit old among the pile of documents. There was a blue and white coat of arms drawn on it, similar to the color of the Don't Touch Me car logo in my previous life. Except that
Silver patterns are drawn on all four colors.
Among them, the castle represents the history of the feudal nobles, the sword represents military exploits, the luan tail flower represents the family's marriage to a royal member of the Frans Empire, and the last unicorn points out that the family has a recognized royal bloodline.
"This is your family's coat of arms, sir." The staff member smiled and said. "You also need a personal coat of arms for various occasions. This is a rigid rule. For example, it will be required for your canonization ceremony three days later.
This thing.”
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you are not prepared." Perhaps because he was personally accompanied by the Royal Attendant, this staff member also seemed very kind. "We have professional designers here who can help you if necessary.
We will quickly design a coat of arms that suits your identity."
"You don't need this, please give me paper, pen and paint. I can draw it soon." Lawrence asked the clerk opposite, and then summoned the book charm.
"If it helps, I think there should be no problem." The staff here are all very knowledgeable, so he quickly recognized the book charm and sent Lawrence what he needed. After everything was ready
After that, it only took Shu Mei five minutes to draw Lawrence's personal coat of arms.
This is not because Lawrence has great design talent, but as a knight raider, he can only design on the family coat of arms and does not need to start a new one. Therefore, he just added a red shield in the center of the family coat of arms.
Emblem, and then draw a blue and white image of Bai Ze with a scroll status Bai Ze picture floating above his head, and it's done.
"What do you think of this?" After the paint dried, Lawrence handed the parchment on which his coat of arms was drawn to the staff and asked. After all, there are many regulations in the design of this coat of arms, and he is not all of them.
It's clear, so I'm a little worried about where this heraldry doesn't comply with the regulations.
"That's no problem." After looking at the heraldry pattern carefully, the clerk nodded to express his approval of the pattern drawn by Lawrence. In his eyes, Lawrence, as an extraordinary person, added a source of extraordinary power to his personal coat of arms.
It should be considered a normal practice, and as a scholar, adding scroll patterns to personal articles is completely in line with the rules of heraldry.
Except for this matter, the rest of the things went very smoothly. After watching the staff fill out the form with very beautiful cursive calligraphy, the registration work was completely over.
Next, the royal attendant returned to the palace to report on his work, while Lawrence and the staff went up to the third floor to deal with the next few things.
"The third floor is where we train the nobles who are about to hold the canonization ceremony." The staff explained to Lawrence while leading the way. "Especially for someone like you who has never received similar training before, we must ensure that Mr.
You won't have any problems during the canonization ceremony."
"I understand, I'm really sorry to trouble you." Lawrence smiled. After all, he had only learned some temporary etiquette from Saphire for making up numbers. He really needed to learn this aspect systematically.
After all, unlike those nobles who have been learning these things since childhood, Lawrence has always been an ordinary person, so he really doesn’t understand these things. You know, those nobles have been learning these things since they were young, so they can do it in various ways.
It is natural to adopt the most appropriate response to the situation.
There are not many nobles in this world who are complete losers. Most of them are well-educated and have mastered many skills. After all, as a class that has been the leader of mankind for a long time, it is possible for them to succeed in this human race.
There is always a commendable side to them in fighting for a place for human beings in a world where they do not have comprehensive advantages.
