Chapter 556: Decoration

Seeing that Ophelina was in a very bad state today, Cecil thought that maybe a bunch of bad things in the Earl's Court had affected her, but this kind of thing was nothing but relieving him, and after comforting Ophelina, Ophelina seemed even more uncomfortable. Cecil thought to himself that he couldn't stay any longer, he didn't want to get involved in such a thing, so he said goodbye to Ophelina very quickly, and returned to the inn. Back at the inn, Cecil was a little sad, he had seen a lot of old friends that day, but they didn't seem to be doing well, and Cecil's mood that day was inexplicably infected. The mood is not very good, and it has been more or less affected. Lying in bed at night, I didn't fall asleep for a long time.

Although he did not sleep well the first night, with Cecil's current strong physique, his state during the day did not affect his state at all the next day, and the Count of Cecil entered the palace with his subordinates in good spirits the next day to attend the award ceremony.

When he arrived at the palace, Cecil found that today the palace is full of nobles, almost all the heads and faces of the Soloran Kingdom are all gathered together, all kinds of dukes, knights, court archmages, and the great priests of the major temples have all been invited to the palace, and the palace hall can only let Cecil enter alone, and the people below Anne can only be in the square of the palace.

Cecil followed his attendants into the palace alone, and found that all the big men were already standing in the palace, and now there were all the people in the kingdom of Sauroran who could speak, and his own earl was the smallest official. Cecil found Count Cassikud, who could only be found in the corner, looking extremely humble and unable to speak to anyone. He just looked fiercely at the person beside the king, this person Cecil also knew, it was the Duke of Fatam, looking at the earl's gaze, Cecil couldn't help but shake his head.

And the Grand Priest of Alonso is a very noble existence no matter where he is, as the Grand Priest of the Temple of Dawn, he sits in a bunch of Grand Priests of the Temple, and still seems to have a respected status, dominating the leader, seeing Cecil come in, he is very kind and wants Cecil to nod his head. Cecil nodded to the archpriest as well.

King Rex, who is high on the throne, is in good spirits today, and he is not wearing the king's holiday dress, but wearing the commander's uniform of the three armies of the Soloran Kingdom during the war, and he looks energetic. Sitting on the lion throne, he seemed to be in good spirits and full of majesty at this time.

The king looked down and waved his hand slightly, and the colleagues below who were originally greeting each other immediately stopped whispering and listened quietly to the king's words.

"Hello everyone, I am your king Rex, my father died relatively suddenly, and I am in a hurry, so it is the first time I have met many lords who are doing it, and I am here to say hello to you." King Rex said with a smile.

Cecil suddenly found that King Rex, who usually kills decisively, is very affinable today, and the words he said give people a feeling like a spring breeze, which is not at all like the usual majesty, and the kind of temperament that can directly crush people to death under the pressure of people, Cecil has to admire King Rex's good sense of proportion, and he is indeed born to be a king.

Since King Rex usurped the throne, this is the first time that the nobles with status in the kingdom have gathered, when he was a prince, he was not supported by most of the nobles, but after he ascended the throne, he stepped up to encircle these nobles, and the nobles who previously supported Prince Lux were not hit hard, especially their autonomy was not deprived too much, so most of the nobles gradually accepted the fact that King Rex was gradually accepted.

Of course, King Rex is an absolutely iron-fisted figure, and the reason why he is now wooing these nobles is because he is not strong enough, and once he is full-fledged, these nobles should try his iron-fisted methods.

"However, the hateful Elok Empire, taking advantage of my father's death and the emptiness of our country, brazenly supported Lucas, who fled to the Elok Empire, and launched an unjust war against us!" King Rex was filled with righteous indignation when he said this. But Cecil knew in his heart that the war was started by King Rex.

"However, the warriors of our kingdom fought bloodily and defied violence, and finally defeated the invincible Arrow Empire!" King Rex was very excited when he said this, and Cecil was also very proud, and he made a great effort to repel the Illuk Empire.

"We are here today to reward all the heroes!" With King Rex's announcement, the celebration began.

King Rex began to announce the meritorious heroes of this war, and the soldiers under Cecil's command were all highly rewarded, and Requel was even directly made a baron, among the ranks of nobles. Of course, Ryker was very excited when he entered the hall to receive the reward, of course, they could only exit the hall after receiving the knighthood, and no one below the earl could stay here today.

Cecil quietly looked at these nobles who had been rewarded or awarded, and found that there was no one who originally belonged to Rex, and all the people who were rewarded were former political enemies of King Rex, and even Cecil had to admire King Rex's open-mindedness. Sure enough, it's a king's material.

"Finally, I want to train for the most meritorious man of this campaign, the Count of Cecil! He defeated the Duke of Sartoas of the Elok Empire in the defense of the province of Samara, and won a brilliant victory, his achievements to the kingdom are unparalleled, his contribution to the king is unmatched, and now the widow has officially promoted you to the title of duke, expanded his territory to the three provinces around Samara, and bestowed on you the title of the first knight of the kingdom, and bestowed the lion king badge! “

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Cecil slowly walked in front of the king, which could be said to be an unprecedented glory for a knight. In just two years, he was promoted from a knight who was nothing to a duke, which was simply the most incredible speed in the history of the Lovalan continent, although the three provinces around Samara Province were not as fertile as the Samara region, but they were also vast provinces, and they were also the king's direct territory, the king cut meat from his body to reward Cecil, and at that moment even Cecil was a little moved, the king was still really good to himself, and he kept him on the throne all the way.
