On the 9th of the month, the month of Ruixue

It was Isabella's coming-of-age ceremony, and the Kingdom of Norsland held a grand celebration.

The kingdom's ministers and lords, wealthy merchants, and various important people gathered in the Eagle Castle in Golgaron.

In addition to King Gravel Nelson, the two most powerful were Holfwood, Lord of Golgallon, and Bevmanwatson, Lord of Wilson.

Lord Horf also brought his two sons to the banquet, one of whom was the second son Ackerman, who had admired Isabella for a long time, and the eldest son Patrick, who had long since married the Watson family. Of course, there is another person who has to be mentioned, he is Horf's right-hand man, Ragnar Northenbrook, this man is brave, very military-minded, and a first-class talent. He was also a minor lord of Duke Holf's fiefdom of the Earl of Byron Bay.

Of course, there were many veteran-level heroes who participated in the banquet, who were not necessarily in high positions, but they were the oldest.

For example, Anna, who was the first to follow Gravel, and Glawell's old butler Haybur, this banquet was organized by his subordinates, and he was one of the most trusted people in Gravel.

Of course, there is also Gravel's long-time good friend, the inseparable Tony, who has no position, but no one does anything that disrespects him, and disrespecting him is tantamount to disrespecting the king. Now Tony has cultivated a little apprentice, in order to become his successor in the future, when Grawell was captured and sent to the army, he attacked the little John of the monastery at night together, and now John has grown up and followed Tony to learn to do things, it can be said that Tony is almost the most trusted person in Gravel.

and Salim, the first businessman to fund Gravel, has become even more shrewd after many years as Chancellor of the Exchequer. In recent years, the monetary reform, the mandatory implementation of the eagle currency system, and the abolition of the original empire's golden dragon coins are the biggest projects he is responsible for implementing. Because of this, the cohesion and legitimacy of the Kingdom of Norsland have simply risen to a new level over the years. Not only that, but the fact that only Old Norslan was spoken in the Norsland Kingdom was also proposed by Isabella, and it has now been vigorously implemented and has achieved remarkable results.

In short, the Kingdom of Norsland, a newly independent kingdom, thrived like a vigorous young man, eyeing the twilight and aging Delman Empire in the south. The national consciousness, national cohesion, military and technological development of the Kingdom of Norsland have been greatly developed, and under the leadership of King Gravel, the kingdom is full of vitality, rewards and punishments are clear.

In contrast, in the Empire, the people were miserable, and Emperor Keith was tyrannical. According to the intelligence, it is clear that there has been a large-scale famine, but it is even more wasteful, the upper class sings every night, and the bottom layer freezes to death and starves to death on the side of the road. But even so, the exploitation and oppression of the upper strata to the lower strata has not been reduced in the slightest, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, so many people are desperate and frequently rebel, and Marshal Alonso has not been less exhausted in counterinsurgency in recent years, and he is tired of running around, but the rebellions that humiliate the sparks are not only not extinguished, but more and more.

At this time, Isabella was at the coming-of-age banquet, in the King's Hall of the Eagle Castle.

In the middle is a huge place with a charcoal fire, on which various barbecues and delicacies are leaned, which not only warms the hall, but also adds some light.

On the walls around the hall, charcoal fires and candles echo each other, illuminating the hall very brightly.

King Ragwell sat in the middle of the wall, with a huge Fauxland Falconry behind him.

His throne was made of brass, plated with a layer of gold, and set with rubies and sapphires. Next to Gravell stood two men, one was Tony, and the other was a warrior heavily armed with a sword and shield, he was the first knight of the kingdom, Roderick Anderson, he was the only man with a weapon present today, he was the personal guard of King Gravell and a young and promising knight of the kingdom.

On either side of the charcoal fire were a number of long cypress tables, and the important ministers of the kingdom who were present sat in their respective positions.

Tony's apprentice, John, was busy, and this was also an opportunity for him to exercise. You must know that if you want to serve tea and pour water for these big people, not everyone can do it well.

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone just ate and drank in their seats, feasting, these northerners from the cold regions are very bold and brave, even with some savagery, this is the northerners, this is the real Norsland warriors.

People talk to each other, after all, it is not often that you have time to sit together like this.

The maids serve the food and pour the wine, while the cooks carefully process the food. The food here is very rich, which is also the credit of Gravel in the past few years, the country and the people are very rich, and the common people are also very grateful.

"Be quiet, lords and ministers, I have something to discuss with you next. Seeing that everyone was half full, Gravel said in his solemn voice

A group of important people of the kingdom, who were still laughing and scolding, slowly began to fall silent, and Horf put down the horn cup filled with mead that he had just picked up.

"Today is my daughter's coming-of-age banquet, thank you for coming, and I have important things to announce to you. Gravel said happily

The important ministers of the kingdom listened one after another, they wanted to know what was going on, could it be the princess's marriage, in that case, half of the people present were ready to move, and the rest could only sigh to themselves that they were either married or too old.

"Just today, I learned that there was another massive riot in the Empire's Kailandil. This winter was exceptionally cold, but they suffered a famine that they had never experienced before. The whole empire heard that the situation was very bad, and this was the best time we have been in years. I've decided that tomorrow when spring warms up a little, we'll swing south and stab the Empire in the throat. At the same time, today's protagonist, Princess Isabella, is also invited to the table. Gravel announced

"King of Norsland"

"King of Grevel, King of Northland, King of Northland" was silent, and then a loud cheer erupted

Amid the cheers of everyone, everyone saw Princess Isabella Nelson, dressed in a white dress, walk from behind to this side of the hall and take her seat, not far from Gravel.

At this time, the atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax, and everyone was happy to see such a smart and beautiful princess who was alluring the country and the city.

"Next, let's be alone for this wonderful evening with wine and food," says Gravel
