Chapter 699: The Emperor's Birthday Banquet

Charlemagne watched her quietly from the other seat, and Illya suddenly turned her head to find Charlemagne looking at her.

The two looked at each other as if they had a heart, then smiled slightly and looked away at the same time.

Charlemagne had an unconcealed smile on his face, and a prince beside him said, "It seems that Prince Charlemagne is in a good mood today!" ”

"Of course, it is a great honor for me to be able to attend His Majesty the Emperor's birthday banquet!" Charlemagne, of course, won't say why, he said with great tact.

At this time, Illya also said to the sisters around her and the princesses from outside: "Thank you very much for coming to my father's birthday party!" ”

Charlemagne was surrounded by heirs from various kingdoms, namely the crown princes, in addition to several heirs to the great nobles of the Rhodesan Empire.

Rhaeggar, the son of Falow, the deputy head of the Lion Knights, was among them.

The heir to Falo, a powerful nobleman of the Rodland Empire, is also quite dazzling in this group.

Among the few people present were Charlemagne, the Prince de Cre of the Empire of Rodland, Prince Satters, the heir of the Kingdom of Astra, and Bellien, the son of Rhaegar and Ivan, the deputy head of the Knights of the Sun.

The ages of the group varied, with the youngest being no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and the oldest being nearly thirty years old.

They are almost the most dazzling group of people present, and their identities are also the most noble group of people.

Rhaegar glanced at Charlemagne, and for some reason, he always felt very uncomfortable looking at Charlemagne, and Charlemagne also felt this way, as if the two were natural enemies.

Therefore, whenever the two look at each other, there is an inexplicable tension, but both sides hide this feeling very well, and no one present can detect it.

Even the Imperial Crown Prince Decre could feel that something was wrong between the two of them, but he didn't care about it.

In addition to touting each other at the beginning, the princes were looking for people with good eyes and similar strength to the country.

In short, the atmosphere is quite pleasant, the table is full of delicious food and cherished ingredients, and the smell of spices fills the whole hall, which can be regarded as an extremely precious luxury in the holy world, and it is like no money is squandered here.

Delicious honey from the Kingdom of Loerick was also on the table, along with a decade of cherished wine from the Kingdom of Loerick, which William sold as a valuable luxury, and most surprisingly, all of them were filled in smooth porcelain.

Compared with fine wine and honey, these porcelains are real luxuries, you know, William has a monopoly on the porcelain business, so the price of porcelain is very expensive, even if it is to give 10% to the church every year, it will bring William unimaginable profits.

Suffice it to say, without the porcelain business, William would now face a financial deficit, after all, more than three million silver coins a year is not a small amount.

It can be seen that the price of porcelain is very high, although the people present are high-ranking nobles, and most of them have purchased some porcelain to show their wealth, but so much porcelain is unimaginable for them.

This also shows the strong financial power of the Rodland Empire from the side.

The various cherished ingredients on the table exuded bursts of fragrance, but no one moved, after all, they were all high-level nobles, unlike those low-level nobles who lived a hard life, and couldn't control themselves after seeing the food.

The nobles present were almost the earls, except for William, who did not have many nobles under him, and brought all the viscounts under his command, all of them were high-ranking nobles who had seen the world.

However, William's viscounts are also very comfortable because of William's policies, and they are even richer than some counts, after all, although the title can be used to measure strength most of the time, it is ultimately the territorial situation and national policy to speak.

Although the hall was very noisy, there was no one making a loud noise, and everyone was talking to the people around them in low voices.

Finally, the time has come, and the passers have walked through the door.

"His Majesty the Holy Roedran Emperor, the patriarch of the royal hereditary Franz family group, the participant in the holy war, the Venerable Lord Emperor Grein!"

"Marinda, the eldest daughter of the Greaves, one of the Electors, and the wife of the Emperor of the Loerd and Emperor Grayne of the Lordland Empire, is here!"

A long series of announcements rang out, obscure and numerous titles were spoken, and Emperor Greyn appeared in everyone's eyes in an incomparably splendid costume with his crown and a scepter representing supreme power.

Behind him was a long red cloak, supported by four servants, and he walked gracefully and majestically down the central red carpet.

His left hand held the right hand of Queen Malinda, who was wearing an equally gorgeous white dress with a hem that was longer than his cloak and required six servants to pull it up.

After the two entered, the next roll call rang out: "King of the Kingdom of Astra, participant in the holy war, faithful servant of the Holy Father, His Majesty Leonac has arrived!" ”

He was also dressed in a gorgeous dress, wearing clothes that did not conform to William's aesthetics at all, but after years of edification, William gradually became accustomed to this style of dressing.

After King Leonac, it was William.

"His Majesty William, King of the Kingdom of Lorik, participant in the Holy War, pagan conqueror, and living saint William!"

"His Royal Highness Wella, Queen of the Kingdom of Lorik, wife of His Majesty William, has arrived!"

The two of them are also dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes, even compared with Emperor Grayne, they are not inferior at all, the only fly in the ointment is that Wella's family background is really bad, she is only the daughter of a baron, so she only said that she was William's wife during the roll call.

In more than twenty minutes, all the kings present had entered, and they stood in front of the highest table, and the whole hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone stood up from their positions to look at the twenty people.

In addition to them, a cardinal of the Church also came here to celebrate his birthday, while the Pope did not come because of his health.

The feast is about to begin, and before the official begins, there will be a tribute relief, and the kings' gifts will be carried up to the hall for display, while the gifts of the other nobles will be directly collected into the treasury and only displayed on the gift list.

Emperor Greine raised a wine glass, and the others picked up the wine glass when they saw his movements.

He said, "Thank you for coming to my birthday party, thank you very much for giving me this face, I hope you can have fun here!" ”

"In addition, I have also prepared a competitive conference, I hope you can participate enthusiastically, I will not hesitate to reward, give you the most satisfactory prizes!" 2k reading web
