There was no band in front of the Hofburg Palace, no colored silk, as if there was no welcome ceremony at all. But then again, the nobles who stood on the side of the road constituted the highest level of welcome in themselves.

In front of the gate, Eugen was still on his horse, and the horse's hooves stepped on the red carpet and walked inward. Vester rode by his side and led Eugen on horseback.

The people who stood on both sides of the road were either rich or noble, with the largest number of barons and a smaller number of viscounts. In addition, there are family members, friends and so on.

Eugen didn't dismount and seemed a little arrogant, but that's one of the rules.

Riding through the crowd on horseback in order to let the other nobles know Eugen who was about to receive the title, and also to let Eugen be recognized by the noble circle.

Riding on a horse, naturally, it is also to let those people see his appearance better.

Perhaps because of the costume, Eugen looks quite handsome at the moment. The clear eyes looked straight ahead, the bridge of the nose was high, and the lips were slightly curled. Her short blonde hair was scattered and slightly curled at the ends. looks young but has been knighted, and can be called a young and promising nobleman.

The young women in the crowd, who were originally playing, saw Eugen coming over, and they all quieted down, and looked curiously at Eugen sitting on the horse.

A faint flush quietly appeared on her white cheeks, and she seemed to be a little shy, but she was still stubbornly holding her neck, blinking and staring at Eugen with big eyes.

Eugen rode by, smiling and nodding at the crowd on either side. Finding that there were young and beautiful young girls in the crowd, he deliberately looked at them twice, and the smile on his face became brighter.

In just this moment, I don't know how many good girls have fallen into the bright smiling face of the unscrupulous Eugen. However, if they knew what Eugen was thinking, they would be shocked, and then looked at Eugen with contempt and said, "Dick Si~"

"Wowhaha, so many beautiful girls. Wow, it's good to sit on a high place, and see the chest! I saw the breasts...... Wowhaha. ”

Eugen roared with excitement as he walked. If it weren't for Steward West's staring at him, he might not be able to control himself and reveal his lewd nature.

Finally, Eugen and Vest rode to the steps in front of the palace. The two palace guards stepped forward quickly, took the reins of the horses, and then they rolled over and dismounted from their horses.

On the rest of the road, West was not qualified to continue to accompany Eugen forward, and Eugen could only enter by himself.

Even though he was mentally prepared, the moment he stepped on the steps, Eugen's legs still trembled slightly. On either side of the stairs stood nobles, smiling at Eugen. Eugen smiled back, then puffed up his chest and walked up.

Stepping up the stairs and passing through the nobles at the palace gate, Eugen walked into the palace.

On either side of the palace stood two rows of nobles, and in this palace stood at the lowest of the titles of earl, then marquis, duke, and prince.

However, the number of people is very small, and most of the big people like this are too busy, and many people do not have time to come to the canonization ceremony. These few people in the palace either lived nearby, or they were fallen nobles with empty titles and no fiefs.

As soon as he entered the palace, Eugen saw Prince Eugen, who was seated on the innermost left side. On the right side opposite Prince Eugen sat a bald middle-aged man who looked to be in his mid-fifties.

In the middle of the two, on the highest seat, is the current Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, His Majesty Charles VI.

Charles VI was nearly fifty years old, but the hair on his head was completely white, and very sparse and messy, and most of his teeth had fallen out. The skin on his face was as rough as rotten tree bark, and there was no brilliance in his cloudy eyes.

If such an old man puts on tattered clothes and throws them in the market to pretend to be a beggar, he will not have the slightest sense of disobedience. It is only through the luxurious clothes on his body and the golden crown on his head that he can see some of the majesty that belongs to the king.

In contrast, on the contrary, Prince Eugen, who was sitting next to him, was full of energy and sat majesticly, looking more like an emperor.

Even though he was surprised in his heart, Eugen did not dare to express it. He walked briskly to the front, half-knelt on the ground and saluted Charles VI: "Eugen Habsburg, see the honorable Emperor, His Majesty Charles VI. ”

The Emperor sitting on the throne looked around in a panic as if he had been disturbed by dozing off, and his mouth made a whimper of unknown meaning.

After a while, he seemed to remember his situation, and finally came to his senses, and said, "Get up, get up." ”

The Emperor's voice was also muffled and lacking in qi, sounding like the whimper of a wild cat before he died. Eugen hesitated for a moment to understand what the Emperor meant, and then stood up.

At this moment, he finally understood the reason for the decline of the Holy Roman Empire. The previous situation of Prince Eugen and his predecessors will be gone, and there will be no successors, etc. But the real reason is in the emperor in front of him.

He finally remembered a passage he had read by chance: the real reason for the decline of the Habsburgs was the extremely erroneous system of consanguineous marriage they had adopted in order to maintain the purity of their blood. ”

The Emperor Charles VI of the Holy Roman Empire in front of him is an ironclad proof of this sentence. Marriage between close relatives brought him extremely dangerous genes and many strange genetic diseases.

His Majesty the Emperor, who is less than fifty years old and has a privileged living environment, looks like an old man in his eighties or nineties. And judging from the performance alone, it seems that there are still some problems with intelligence.

With such an emperor, it is strange that the national strength is not declining. As for the reason why he has no successor, it must be inseparable from his poor physical condition.

Eugen stood up and looked up at Emperor Charles VI. Charles VI, however, did not react to his gaze, and he once again returned to his sleepy state, as if even the mere act of keeping his mind awake was a heavy burden for him.

The two bigwigs around the emperor, as well as a group of nobles behind him, were not surprised and did not react. Eugen had no choice but to pretend that it didn't matter and quietly waited for the following.

At this time, it was Prince Eugen who stood up, first smiled at the bald middle-aged man on the other side, and then said to Eugen and all the nobles: "Hello everyone, I will preside over the ceremony next." ”

It was then that Eugen noticed that there was also an inconspicuous gold medal on the prince's chest, and several letters seemed to be engraved in the center of the medal---- which was the mark of the head of the cabinet of the Holy Roman Empire.
