Chapter 30: The Ritual of the Chosen

Two days later, the Kingdom of Itnair ushered in the canonical ritual of the Chosen One.

This is a first-class event for any kingdom.

Although rumors of the Chosen One had been circulating within the kingdom before, this ceremony was tantamount to officially announcing Robin's identity.

Sixteen years on, Itney has welcomed a new Chosen One, a national celebration.

To celebrate, His Majesty the King declared a three-day holiday.

In the temple, Calista sat calmly in a wheelchair and watched the long line from the hall to the bottom of the stairs.

Calista is flanked by the current King, His Majesty Olivia.

The two of them sat in the center of the temple, and their positions were enough to see the dignity of their identities.

Robin stood outside the temple door, feeling a little nervous, and according to the ritual process, he had to walk from outside the temple to Calista and be baptized by the Divine Envoy.

After almost a month of training and various courses, now is the time to validate the results.

Robin took a deep breath and went through the information that Jeongsie had prepared for him in his brain again.

"Don't be nervous, I'll help you later."

At Robin's side, the king's courtier, diplomat, and teacher of his language and history classes, Count Jeunchy reached out and gently shook Robin's hand.

There was a burst of warmth in the palm of his hand.

Robin's heart has finally settled down a lot.

"Thank you, Jessie."

The other party squeezed out a slight smile, signaling that this was what he should do.

……

There are quite a few people in the temple today.

The seven Grand Dukes of the kingdom, except for Rosalind who had to hold on to the Frost Fortress and couldn't come, have now reached three, and they are all old acquaintances of Robin.

The first to appear was the Duke of Shalom of the Sunset Rock Collar, who walked up to Robin with a friendly smile and bowed to her luggage.

Robin noticed that she still had the famous mage ring on her handβ€”

Elven Language.

Legend has it that when magic manifests, the pitch-black ring will show different colors.

Robin rubbed his right ring finger.

What does it feel like to wear it on your hand?

"Long time no see, Lord Robin."

"Long time no see, Your Excellency Grand Duke Shalom."

Robin nodded slightly.

Outside the palace gates, the vanguard officer of the king's personal guard, the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke of Shalom, Jima, looked at them with a blank expression.

It wasn't until the Grand Duke of Shalom passed by her that the haughty knight bowed slightly.

"Your Excellency Grand Duke Shalom, welcome to your seat."

"Hima, Lord," Shalom had only wanted to call her by name, but added her title after blurting it out.

"Good work," said Grand Duke Shalom, who reached out and patted Hima on the shoulder, "I entrust the safety of His Majesty and the oracle to you today." ”

Hima was slightly stunned, then puffed up her chest.

"I will do my duty."

"Very well, if anything happens to you, if you encounter any enemy, don't back down."

Shalom nodded earnestly, "For what you've been holding onto." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Himma's right hand gripping the saber tightened.

Robin couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this scene, this mother and daughter are really stubborn, obviously they care about each other, but no one retreats, and they are in the same situation.

He couldn't help but wonder what was going on between them.

Next up to the temple area was the Archduke Oka of St. Berta.

She's as radiant as ever.

As long as Aojia walks through, people will always stop and linger.

The Knight of the Lonely Moon followed closely behind Oga with a scimitar in his hand.

In the crook of Aojia's arm, holding a black cat.

When Robin made a closer look, he realized that it was no longer the terrifying pet that he had seen in the basement that could turn into a monster.

Come to think of it, it finally took Sirius Viven away, how could it be possible to reappear by Olga's side.

However, the taste of this archduke is really as unique as ever, and the new one is a cat with a pitch-black body and a pair of turquoise eyes.

"Don't come unharmed, Lord Robin." Olga raised her chin haughtily.

"Don't come unharmed, Duke Olga."

"The last time we met, it felt like it happened yesterday," Olga looked at him with a light smile, "Aojia has been missing Robin-sama since the last time I had a brief conversation with him. ”

It's strange to believe you.

Robin said to himself.

"I also miss Duke Olga, and I have admired your talent for a long time."

Robin's words were very different.

"You are always welcome to visit Santa Bertador." Duke Olga stroked the long hair around his ears, "Perhaps I have the honor to take you through one of the more famous plays about the kingdom. ”

"No, it's my pleasure." Robin smiled slightly.

Looking at the back of Olga walking into the temple, Robin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Next to her, Jiexi covered her mouth and smiled.

This may be how she usually feels when facing Robin.

……

The third to arrive was Archduke Matida.

He was followed by the Blue Lagoon Knight Carlo.

Today, both of them were dressed very formally, especially the Blue Lagoon Knight, who was wearing a gorgeous dress, which was very different from the gun-wielding warrior Robin had seen before.

The Four Horsemen of the Kingdom, Robin has seen three of them so far-

Defend the Frost Fortress and be known as Thunder Knight's Rosalind.

Guarding Aojia's side, the tall Lone Moon Knight Rorel.

and Carlo, the Blue Lagoon knight who is now by the side of Archduke Matilda, Lori.

Everyone has their own characteristics, and at the same time, they are all very charming.

Whether it's the calm Rosalind, or the taciturn but infinitely intimidating Lorel, or the dashing and unruly Carlo, everyone fascinates Robin.

To be precise, it's their abilities and the saga behind them that fascinate Robin.

I don't know who the last of the Four Knights of the Kingdom is, and what kind of legend exists?

"It's finally time for this day."

Matilda walked up to Robin's side and lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands.

Robin also bowed in response.

What does it mean to finally wait for this day......

Robin looked down at the little girl in front of her.

The other man's head was only up to his chest.

If the high bun and hair ornaments on her head are removed, the development of the young duke in front of her is really not optimistic.

"From today onwards, you have formal status and power," Matilda smiled mysteriously, "to fulfill our contract." ”

"When did we make the contract?" Robin frowned, "Didn't I say it takes time to think about it?" ”

"So you still haven't made up your mind?" A flash of surprise flashed in Matilda's eyes, "I thought ......"

"Why?"

Robin looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

Do you think that if Kaye finds out about Revan and meets with the King's court butler, will I be able to work with you?

"It doesn't matter." Matilda smiled confidently, "Since there isn't, let's talk about it later." ”

"What?"

Robin looked back in surprise.

But Grand Duke Lori did not stop, but walked into the gate with his subordinates.
