Chapter 30: The Day of Celebration
However, what Ye Fei didn't expect was that this middle-aged man who looked mighty turned out to be a duke of the principality! You know, there are only two dukes in the entire Duchy of Belmar.
"I accept the invitation of the Duke, and after today, I will definitely visit the mansion." Ye Fei bowed slightly.
After thanking Ye Fei and Haijie, Duke Swain also saluted the queen Skadi, and then he said, "Your Majesty, are you sure?" ”
I don't know why, when Duke Swain said this, the originally lively atmosphere here suddenly cooled down a little, and everyone naturally knew what Duke Swain was asking.
"To be honest, I'm less than fifty percent sure if I'll be able to return to the palace today."
Skady said indifferently, and then her sudden side became a little aggressive: "But I can't watch this country go to the end step by step, this is not my Skady alone, but belongs to the people of the entire Principality of Belmar, today, even if I sacrifice, I have to give my uncle a wake-up call, the current principality, must not start a war against the Delos Empire." ”
After listening to Skady's words, Duke Swain immediately said loudly: "It's good to have the Queen's words, I, Swain, swear to accompany Her Majesty back to the palace today!" ”
"Swear to accompany Her Majesty back to the palace!"
Seeing these high-ranking officials and nobles say this, Skadi's face also showed a hint of determination, and as soon as she waved her hand, everyone here immediately took action.
"Ye Fei, the next thing depends on us, you can rest first, if I can't come back today, you and Hai Yijie will leave and escape from this city gate."
After Skadi finished speaking, he left Ye Fei in place, while he stepped into the carriage.
"Rest? Doesn't it take me to the palace with you? Ye Fei saw that Skadi was about to enter the carriage, and he hurriedly ran forward and said.
"No need, with your current strength, you still can't do it, thank you very much for accompanying me during this time"
Before Skady could finish speaking, the carriage she was riding in departed, accompanied by Duke Swayn and Linus, who numbered in the hundreds.
Looking at the carriage that gradually disappeared at the end of the street, Ye Fei thought about it for a long time before he came back to his senses, and it took a long time for his body to move.
"Lord Ye Fei, now that there are only the two of us left here, what should we do now?"
Seeing Ye Fei's movements, Hai Yijie also asked beside him.
"What to do? Of course, it's thirty-six strategies, and it's the best policy! ”
Ye Fei said as he looked at the direction in which the carriage disappeared, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
"I support your decision."
Then, Ye Fei and Hai Yijie left here immediately, but Skadi and his party were either making carriages or riding horses, while Ye Fei and the two were walking on their feet, no matter how they chased them, they didn't see the figure of Skadi's group
Austin's West Side, a meandering river that quietly flows through a corner of the West City, is where the annual celebration is held, and in previous years, Her Majesty the Queen of the Duchy would come outside the palace to celebrate the occasion with the city's civilians.
It's just that today's celebration day is a bit strange, Her Majesty hasn't appeared yet, and more than half of the ministers and nobles have also not come here.
Thor and the others had been standing here for a whole morning, and it was almost noon now, but his face did not show any irritated expression, but looked ahead calmly, but his composure seemed a little too natural.
But even so, Xicheng still gathered a large number of city residents, from the entrance of the palace to the outer avenue, it was already crowded with people, lined up in a long line, several kilometers long.
"Isn't the time yet up?"
Thor, who had always shown composure, suddenly spoke bluntly, and then looked up at the avenue in the distance, and suddenly, he heard a cacophony of voices.
"It's coming!"
Stomp, trample.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the avenue, and the residents gathered here were all stunned after hearing the sound of horses' hooves, and then turned their heads to look at the end of the street, today is the celebration day of the imperial capital, and the city defenders have already issued a notice that no carriages are allowed to appear on the roads of the imperial capital today.
Violators, shoot and kill!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Just when the attention of a small part of the crowd was all focused on the sound of horses' hooves, three salutes were heard from the direction of the palace, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Woooooooo
With a melodious sound of horns, a tall woman walked out of the palace under the watchful eye of everyone, wearing a set of Demon Sage dresses, with long golden hair draped behind her, and slowly appeared in everyone's field of vision.
When she reached the square at the entrance of the palace, she gracefully raised one of her right hands and waved to everyone: "Long live the principality!" ”
"Long live the principality!"
"Long live the principality!"
"Long live the principality!"
Her words completely ignited tens of thousands of people, all of whom raised their arms and chanted, and some people chanted 'Her Majesty' and the like.
Her Majesty's first impression was that she was born to be Her Majesty, and the tens of thousands of people around the square were all enthusiastic when they saw Her Majesty with their own eyes, and everyone's face was full of cheers and joy.
However, the sound of horses' hooves, which was not clear, suddenly became louder at this time, and the crowd outside also became noisy, and even many people gloated in their hearts, not knowing that the unlucky guy would just have such a stupid thing today.
"Is it only now? Is it possible that the road is blocked? ”
As the captain of the garrison army, Sol said with some complaints, when he saw a black figure appear in front of him, he Ye Fei took off the top hat on his head, adjusted his clothes and said to the soldiers behind him: "Okay, now it's our turn to serve the royal family of Mar!" ”
Brush! Brush! Brush! Swish!
There was a neat sound of sword drawing, and when Thor's order just went down, the pair of twenty defenders behind him also drew their long swords hanging from their waists, and the blades of the long swords looked extremely bright in the midday sun, and even reflected the dark shadow in front of them.
