Five days later, the ceremony of the Viscount Salk's ascension to the throne was held in Windsor Castle.

The ceremony was presided over by Prince Haiber of the Griffin family, and the Queen's letter of appointment for the earldom was accompanied by a silver griffon's scepter, which symbolized the authority of the county.

Present at the ceremony were Grand Arcanist Lord Moriarty, two Templar powerhouses, Lord Charles and Lord Robert, and many local nobles in Kent.

Due to his stay in Ogershire and his return, Baron Ensberg did not attend. In addition, Viscount Merriren also officially announced his retirement a few days ago, and passed his title and patriarchal position to his eldest son, which is also a fundamental expression of attitude to the new ruler of Kent. Therefore, it was the new Viscount Merillan who attended the ceremony, not the old lord who refused to admit defeat.

When he received the Queen's letter of appointment from Prince Haiber, and the griffon's scepter, Count Salk was full of smugness and red, as if he had suddenly become twenty years younger. At this point, he was the Earl of Kent, legally recognized by the Kingdom of Erathia, and the Salk family became the true rulers of the county.

As long as she does not commit such a great evil as "treason" or "crimes against humanity", even the queen cannot deprive Salk of his countdom. The real hereditary recklessness is passed on to the future.

"Congratulations, Count Salk!"

Looking at Count Salk, who was standing on the stage and holding a silver scepter, the surrounding local nobles cheered and applauded in unison.

Regardless of whether they belonged to Salk's camp or Merrilen's camp before, they have now become a follower of the county uncle without reservation. A new order was established in Kent.

After the ceremony, while everyone was still feasting and celebrating, Prince Haiber invited Moriarty to a private meeting in the small side room for nearly an hour.

However, when they came out of the side hall, some well-intentioned people found that His Royal Highness the Prince's expression was not very satisfied, and it seemed that some things were not going well.

On the contrary, Moriarty is still calm and breezy, as if everything is normal.

The feast of the celebration of Jin Bo lasted all night. It has made many nobles who have not been happy for a long time crazy. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that it was still wartime, the feast would have to be celebrated for a whole week, so as to match the dignity and generosity of a county uncle.

"I heard that you rejected Prince Haiber's invitation to serve as the royal family's magical advisor?"

In the small room, the congratulations and flattery of the local nobles were entertained. Count Salk suppressed his drunkenness and interviewed Moriarty. Matiel, on the other hand, went to rest first because she was tired.

"Yes." Moriarty said calmly: "I really don't have any sense of intimacy with the royal family and Her Majesty the Queen, and I don't have the will and energy to step into the political maelstrom of Standwell. Naturally, I could only refuse politely. ”

"Hehe, even so, the royal family should still grant you the title of baron, otherwise you won't be able to explain it to a powerful grand arcanist." The Earl shook his head and smiled, "Do you want to use any nickname?" Or is it a branch of Ensberg? ”

"No, my father is the orthodoxy of the family. If Her Majesty is willing to bestow this honour. I would like to establish it under the name 'Olympus'. ”

"Baron Olympus... Well, pretty good. Henceforth the master of Rheinberg will be Baron Olympus. The old man laughed again, and suddenly his face turned cold again, and Sen Ran asked, "Then when will your wedding to Martil take place?" ”

As a father who loves his daughter deeply, it is extremely restrained to be able to endure until now to question the man who made his daughter pregnant. Of course, even if the old man wanted to settle accounts with Moriarty, he couldn't find anyone at all.

"I'm sorry, but I won't marry Matiel." It seems that there is an answer already there. Looking at Count Salk, Moriarty said apologetically.

"What!?"

Hear this. The old man was really angry. Even regardless of the opponent's terrifying strength, he rolled up his sleeves and directly punched Moriarty.

"Bang!"

Without using any force, Moriarty was instantly knocked to the ground, and then fell to the ground with blood streaming from the corners of his mouth.

"Say it again!"

For the sake of his daughter, Count Salk seemed to be the embodiment of an angry lion. Striding forward, he lifted Moriarty from the ground and dragged him into the air.

"I'm not going to marry Matiel, you should know why." Without wiping the bleeding, Moriarty calmly looked into the old man's eyes. Road.

"I don't know! All I know is that my daughter has sacrificed everything for you, and you dare to abandon her and the child!? ”

Filled with rage, Count Salk clenched his fists again, and the slightest spark flickered between his fingers. Just seeing the other party's calm eyes, for some reason, the old man's heart moved inexplicably, and this heavier punch was not struck.

"I can't hurt another lover because of one lover." Moriarty's eyes lowered slowly, and he sighed: "Otherwise, it will only increase the infinite pain." ”

"You've decided to choose that woman?" Suddenly slammed Moriarty's neckline, and Count Salk said coldly: "But you can't bear to let Martiel and the innocent child suffer for the rest of your life?" ”

"Although I feel shameless, I can only plead with you to maintain the current situation and not change it for the time being."

Looking at the old man who had changed from great joy to great sorrow now, Moriarty felt even more guilty in his heart. The elder on the other side has helped him since he met, and he is Matil's father, but his current words and deeds are undoubtedly abnormal bastards, which makes the other party hate abnormalities.

"I haven't changed my love for Matiel. At the same time, the inheritance of Rheinberg and the title of Baron Olympus also belonged to Martiel's children. I will make an irreversible will and submit it to the royal family for witness. With that, Moriarty bowed deeply to Count Salk and stopped rising.

“… Moriarty, as a lawyer, you are a rare genius for thousands of years; But as a man, you're an idiot with no skill or courage! After staring at Moriarty, who was bowing deeply, for five minutes, the old man spat out a cold sentence and slammed the door.

The next day, when Moriarty said goodbye to Martiel and returned to the Rhineberg, he was never seen again. Only Charlie flew out with him for a ride, and said partingly: "Lord Earl wants you to always remember what you have said." ”

"Please tell the Count, I will."

Moriarty smiled wryly and nodded heavily at the Sanctuary.

Charlie patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, then turned back.

Looking at the back of the "Morning Light" in the distance, Moriarty stood in the air for a long time, and finally couldn't help it and gave himself a slap in the face.

Count Salk is right, he is a hopeless fool! (To be continued......)
