Chapter 166: Scarlet Miyagi 1
When it was dark, Richard had already left the hotel and headed for the palace.
After all, Richard is half the protagonist today, so he has to go a little earlier.
Richard rode on a red flame horse, and walked side by side with Zebul on the streets of the royal capital, wearing fancy armor, which attracted the attention of the few pedestrians around.
This ceremonial armor was sent to Richard in advance by the people from the palace, and it was calculated that Richard, a nouveau riche from the countryside, would not prepare this kind of ceremonial armor.
In terms of defense, this gold-red armor with a hollow pattern is really more unreliable than Richard's white-on-white gold-edged cloth armor.
"Zebul, how are you feeling?"
"Not so good."
When entering the palace, you can't wear actual combat armor, and there are restrictions on blades, and Zebuble entered the palace with Richard as Richard's attendant, and was also assigned a set of bells and whistles ceremonial armor,
The armor is okay, but the key is that the saber has also been replaced with a slender ceremonial sword, and this kind of blade with weak actual combat ability also makes Zebul feel very uncomfortable,
Fortunately, Richard, as half of the protagonists of the ceremony, was eligible to wear his own weapon to enter, and the Vulcan sword was still hanging from Richard's waist.
When Richard and the others arrived at the palace gate, there were already several teams being inspected at the palace gate.
The matter of Richard Marquis is still a big deal for the upper echelons of the kingdom.
The nobles above the earl of the royal capital will enter the palace to watch the ceremony, and those who are distributed in the local area will also send representatives, and those who are qualified to enter the city to watch the ceremony should be about 100 families.
In the entire Golden Dragon Kingdom, in a sense, the Baron Viscount is all over the land as if he doesn't want money, and the earls are not uncommon, and there may be changes every few decades.
But when it comes to the marquis, it is like an iron camp,
The upper nobles of the kingdom are known as three princes and ten princes,
The Ross family in the west, the Brent family in the south, and the dragon knight Thor of the town country are called the three dukes of the kingdom,
The first two are the princes of the kingdom and are titles that have been passed down.
Thor came as a dragon knight of the town country, and fought with a knife and a gun.
These three are the existence of the first class of the nobles of the kingdom,
Further down are the ten marquis, who also belong to the top aristocratic sequence of the kingdom, and guard one side like the original Lanster family outside.
They are also high-level discursors who can influence the political affairs of the kingdom, and they are all veteran wealthy families that have been inherited for more than a hundred years.
The kingdom does not easily make a marquis, and the last time it can be honored is when Thor was made a duke in the time of the first king.
Richard's marquis this time has a greater impact than imagined, and it can be regarded as a grand event for the upper echelons of the kingdom.
"Lord Richard."
When Richard appeared at the palace gate, he quickly attracted everyone's attention.
As the protagonist of this grand event, even if Richard is low-key after entering the royal capital, he has been understood by these nobles who are qualified to participate in the ceremony, and he probably can't be wrong.
"Lord Richard is so young, he can make such a feat, we are ashamed."
"Lord Richard is not yet twenty years old, and that kid in my family is almost thirty years old before he becomes a knight, and now he is still proud all day long, which is incomparable."
On this occasion, thanks to the absence of Viscount Sotte, otherwise Viscount Sot would probably be able to blow his educational function to the sky,
Maybe you can get a wolf sex education, come out with a joke about lying in the snow on a winter night, and kill the aristocratic teenagers in the royal capital.
"I heard that Lord Richard has not yet married a wife, and I have a daughter in my family, who is about the same age as Lord Richard..."
“…”
Don't ask, I'm not interested, don't make an appointment.
Richard smiled and dealt with these nobles, these are all earl's houses, and they have just qualified to enter the palace to participate in the ceremony.
Richard is indeed a level higher than them, and it is normal for them to lower their posture to talk to Richard.
If it is changed to the Marquis's house, it will definitely be much more reserved, even if it intends to befriend Richard, it will not be so explicit.
Several counts consciously greeted their entourage and made way for Richard to get out of the way, so that Richard could avoid the queue.
After a few words of resignation on the surface, Richard went directly to the guards at the palace gate to be inspected, which was one aspect of his status, and it would be a bit silly to be humble all the time.
In addition to Richard, Zebul and the other two vanguard knights were carefully inspected, they were not qualified to wear their weapons into the palace,
Even Zebul and the others are so restricted, and it is definitely even more impossible for the poisonous scorpion to follow up.
Now the strength around Richard has dropped to the extreme since his departure,
Well, it's just one earth junior and two great knight peaks.
"Alright, my lord, please come in."
After a meticulous inspection, Chiyan was left outside the city gate, and Richard and the others finally entered Miyagi.
"Da Da Da..."
Just when Richard and the others just entered the door,
Another sound of horses' hooves was heard, and two Western horses approached Miyagi with a purple-gold carriage.
"Yes, Nozomi-sama's carriage."
Several of the counts, who had just stepped forward to be inspected, stepped aside to make way for the carriage.
Obviously, the owner of the carriage was quite famous in the royal capital, and his status was not low.
Richard still knows a little about the identity of this Lord Xi,
The ninth son of the first king, and the most favored son of the first king,
If it weren't for the fact that he was too young at the time of the throne and didn't have the strength of the knight rank, he might have become one of the strong contenders.
The carriage he was riding in was also given by the king, and he had direct access to the royal city, and there was no order to abolish this privilege after Wren ascended the throne.
"Good day, Your Highness the Nine."
When the carriage arrived at the gate, the guards of Miyagi stopped it, and although the carriage could enter and leave Miyagi, it did not mean that it could not be inspected.
Several of the attendants who followed the carriage were examined first, and it was evident that there were no unruly blades hidden under their robes.
And the carriage that was going to enter the city also needed to be checked, and the commander of the palace gate guard personally led people to start checking the carriage, and the officer of the capital commander personally leaned down and inspected the bottom of the carriage.
The inspection seems to be very detailed, and it doesn't give this former Ninth Highness any face at all.
"Okay, no problem, His Highness the Ninth Please come in."
"Hmm"
There was a response from the carriage, and the carriage went on again.
Richard also saw this scene not far from the city, and Richard was a little strange about the favor this man received,
This Lord Xi also learned some through the rain, although it is not detailed, but the basic information is still understood,
This and the current King Wren, although they are brothers, are half-brothers,
This kind of relationship is not much stronger than a stranger in the royal family, if you don't have any special experience,
This person was not low-key after Wren ascended the throne, and he also used the privileges given by the previous king to swagger through the market, and being able to live for several years shows that Wren is quite broad-minded.
"Lord Richard, please come with me."
While thinking about it, the palace people who had been waiting at the door for a long time walked up,
As the protagonist, Richard also has a special guide, and some things in the ceremony are estimated to be specially taught.
"Well, please lead the way."
Richard watched the purple and gold carriage go away, and didn't think much about it, and followed the palace people who guided him.
