The knight's entire body was covered by the strict iron armor, and the horse was draped in a vest with a black double eagle insignia, looking powerful and powerful.

More than a dozen heavy cavalry lined up in an orderly manner in front and rear, hugging Eugen and walking forward. To Eugen's surprise, the steward of Vester actually followed on a horse, and his riding skills seemed to be very exquisite.

The steward of Vest noticed Eugen's attention, smiled politely at Eugen, and explained: "Before becoming a butler, I was the Prince's lieutenant when he was a marshal. ”

Hearing Steward's explanation, Eugen was suddenly in awe. To be able to become an adjutant under Prince Eugen, his military talent is absolutely first-class, and even if he is of civilian blood, he is at least a quasi-baron.

Such a character is willing to retreat to the rear with Prince Eugen and become a butler by the prince's side. If nothing else, but in terms of this level of loyalty, it is admirable.

The horses' hooves with thick iron palms trampled on the ground of the bluestone slabs, making a muffled thud. The heavy cavalry marched through the streets in turn, towards the palace.

The whole team was silent, as if the heavy cavalry were silent, and they did not need to pretend to roar to show a powerful force that would chill the enemy.

Eugen rode black gold, his back straight, and a vague smile on his face, occasionally nodding to the citizens on either side.

At this moment, his identity is that of a victorious general, and he deserves to be congratulated and praised by everyone. When the citizens of Viana see him in a majestic form, they feel the strength of the empire and have confidence in it.

However, Eugen, who was on the horse, did not enjoy this process very much. In fact, he hates this kind of posturing, and in his dictionary, it is the truth to make a fortune in silence.

He believes that a person has to keep a low profile in order to become stronger and stronger over time. If it is too high-profile, it will only be fleeting like a fleeting meteor.

It's just that the procedures that should be taken at the moment still have to be completed, and fortunately, the speed of the war horse is still faster than walking after all. It didn't take long for Eugen to be able to see the gates of Schönbrunn Palace from afar.

At this moment, the gates of Schönbrunn Palace are completely open, the road is covered with a bright red carpet, and there are bands with various instruments on each side of the gate.

After walking forward for a while, Eugen faintly heard the sound of loud and high-pitched music in front of him.

Viana deserves to be called the capital of music and art, and a few bands are played at a fairly good level. At the moment, the two bands at the entrance are playing in unison, and the sounds of various instruments are overlapping, which is particularly shocking.

When I heard the music as soon as I heard it, I felt like I was on a battlefield where I was in a heroic and passionate battle, and I was able to experience the hard-won feeling of victory. After a while, the tone changed and became lighter, and the pleasure that followed the victory was fully realized.

"It's coming, hey, it's coming. Eugen-sama who has won the battle is here, Eugen-sama, Eugen-sama! The townspeople in the streets also seemed to be infected, and began to cheer Eugen's name and cheer about the strength of the empire.

So, with a cheer, Eugen walked into Schönbrunn Palace.

Then, the heavy cavalry around Eugen dispersed to the two sides, and the butler rode up to Eugen's side and said respectfully: "Mr. Eugen, please come with me, you need to change your clothes." Then, at 8:30 a.m., you can prepare to go to the Hofburg Palace to meet Your Majesty. ”

Eugen nodded and followed the butler inside. However, instead of returning to Eugen's residence, they came to a side temple.

Schönbrunn Palace is not far from Hofburg, and there is an avenue leading directly from Schönbrunn Palace to the Hofburg Palace. Eugen's knighthood ceremony will take place in the Hofburg Palace, where the Emperor is now located.

Eugen came to the room and sat down in his chair to rest and wait. Two maids gathered around him and helped him take off his clothes.

Because I was going to church, the clothes were more plain, and the overall color was darker. Then another dress for Eugen was much more luxurious, and the overall color was sky blue.

After getting dressed, Steward West looked at the pocket watch hanging on his chest. Seeing that the time was almost there, he stood up and told Eugen that it was time to go.

Outside, riding on the black gold, Eugen followed the butler like the Hofburg Palace. During this period, Eugen was still a little puzzled as to why all this was arranged by the butler West, and it stands to reason that he should not have the right to participate in these things as a butler.

Later, Eugen learned that it turned out that West was not only a butler, but also a ceremonial officer of the royal family.

This time, Eugen was not followed by anyone else, and the butler Vester also rode on his horse and galloped forward with Eugen. The road leading from Schönbrunn Palace to the Hofburg Palace is called Königsstrasse, and it is lined with trees and a small palace is hidden every other way.

Across the road, a soldier stood guard and saluted Eugen when he saw him coming. Before Eugen came here, he had always thought that Schönbrunn Palace and Hofburg Palace were two separate palaces. Now he knew that the two palaces were connected together, and in the middle was a large royal garden.

This huge piece of land was used by the royal family, the Habsburgs.

After understanding this, Eugen couldn't help but secretly say that the magnitude of the royal family's handwriting was too shocking.

The entire palace covers an area almost as large as a town, and nearly half of the land in the city of Viana is used by only one family. The other half of the land is home to tens of thousands of ordinary citizen families.

This disparity in wealth and power stirred up strong fluctuations in Eugen's mind. The desire for wealth and power is also like a seed of vitality that has taken root in his heart.

In front of the Hofburg Palace, there were people standing densely. The crowd started at the gate and spread all the way to the inside of the palace. These people also came to watch the ceremony, but unlike the citizens on both sides of the street, their clothes were more luxurious, and their status was not on the same level.

They are all nobles.

Most of the male gentlemen wore tuxedos and various colorful costumes, and their postures were erect. The dress of noble ladies and celebrities should be more subtle and conservative, and their manners should be elegant. There are also some young men and women, how fashionable the clothes and makeup are, showing a warm and unrestrained youthful atmosphere.

At this moment, this group of people came from all over the country, gathered here in anticipation, just to wait for the arrival of one person.

"Hey, here, here. Here comes Mr. Eugen. ”

The crowd, which had been waiting quietly, suddenly began to make some commotion at the gate. People looked in the direction from which the commotion came, and saw two figures slowly walking from a distance.
