186. A gift for a princess
In the rest of the time, Esther found himself a little distracted. www.biquge.info He heard from Spencer I that he had announced that Lagrange, near Colombo, would be Princess Elizabeth's bathing place. This tradition of giving fiefs to children has also been passed down from the maternal plane to the present day. But this kind of fief can only last for one generation, and when the recipient dies, the royal family will take back the fief. If the recipient has children, two-thirds of the fief can be retained, but in any case, by the generation of the recipient's great-great-grandson, the fief will be completely recovered.
Lagrange is the name of a region located in the upper reaches of the Pervas River, consisting of seven small towns with a total population of just over 10,000. But the biggest advantage is that it is close enough to Colombo, and there are many agricultural products and handicrafts, which are mainly sold to Colombo to supply the city with a huge appetite. This makes this place have a considerable tax revenue every year.
With the degree of favor of Princess Elizabeth, her future is definitely not dependent on this fief to support her old age. More gifts will follow.
However, the king and his wife will not let the pearl of their palms out of their sight, and in the future, the Treasure Palace will be the residence of Princess Elizabeth before she got married.
After the parents followed the tradition and completed the first wave of gifts, a fierce competition began for many of the guests present.
All kinds of rare treasures have been collected from all over the world, and on top of today's feast, they have become props for nobles to compare with each other.
One after another, the nobles or their representatives presented gifts and blessings to the beautiful princess, and the smiling princess politely expressed her gratitude and asked the maids to take the gifts and place them on both sides of the stairs.
Many treasures that Esther had only seen in books before. But today, like worthless clutter, piled up on the floor. East noticed Sonya's eyes, which were filled with envy. And Monica, the little guy, saw that her eyes were straight and her saliva was dripping. Even East himself has developed a great curiosity about many precious gifts that he has only heard of but not seen.
There was a constant stream of nobles and their envoys who had come to offer their gifts, and Esther heard the squires in charge of signing up shouting out the titles and families he had heard of and had not heard of.
In this, Esther even met an acquaintance, that is, the bald fat old man who was knocked out by him last night. The big bag on the old head has disappeared, and it is obvious that this day's work is the use of some kind of medicine to reduce swelling quickly.
Esther was amused to find that the fat old man had been avoiding his gaze, and stepped forward tremblingly. As he walked past Easter, he snorted softly and mischievously.
This was a good time, and the fat old man immediately stumbled and rolled down the stairs. Beat the people behind him into a mess of chickens and dogs.
One of the gifts taken out by the fat old man, who knocked out a large bag on his head, turned out to be an animal. It was a pink lizard with a round body and smooth skin, and it looked a little cute. According to the fat old man, this is a strange beast in the crypt of Gotham, very intelligent and can be kept as a pet.
At this time, East finally understood why he wanted to "buy" Xiao Motuan last night. Because compared to selling cuteness, what species is better than Xiao Mo Tuan'er, a slap-sized cat!
At this time, Sonia also clearly understood this, looking at Princess Elizabeth holding the lizard, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she proudly took the little ink ball out of her arms and played in her arms.
After more than an hour of presenting, the final event was finally staged. First, representatives of the Alchemists' Guild hurriedly arrived, and then, in front of everyone's eyes, presented a rare treasure in the world - a void yacht that uses the core of the rock element as a power source.
The representative of the Alchemist Guild would certainly not be a gift to move the entire ship into the palace. He simply gave the key to the control hub of the ship's power core.
It's not so much a rite of passage for the little girl as it is a big play performed by the Alchemists' Guild and the royal family. Even if there are many opinions and philosophical disagreements with the Coron royal family, on this occasion, the two sides are hello, I am good, everyone is good, and the slightest rift will not be exposed.
For the Alchemist Guild, the Cologne royal family's policy of going out made these dead houses very dissatisfied. However, the huge income brought by the trade of Void Ships made it difficult for them to give up. In addition to maintaining a close relationship with the Coronne royal family, they are actually completely passive. The result of this passive situation is a series of brilliant victories in the void of Rifrey Koren in the past ten years. In the face of these victories, even within the Alchemist Guild a new faction was born eager to expand the scale of the Void trade.
This time, with the help of Princess Elizabeth's coming-of-age ceremony, this growing faction gave out a big gift that the royal family could not refuse - a void ship.
Although it is called a yacht. But the ships that use the elemental core as the power source are either turtles or tyrants. With the technical level of the Alchemist Guild, this yacht will obviously be at the level of a super tyrant.
In addition to the unprecedented surprise shown by the beautiful Princess Elizabeth and the guests present, the king and queen apparently knew in advance about the existence of this gift. They expressed their gratitude to the masters of the Alchemist Guild very calmly, and decided on the spot to name the yacht "Elizabeth" as Princess Elizabeth's special Void Ship.
After the representatives of the Alchemists' Guild bowed to the king, queen and beautiful princess, the last person who had not yet given a gift appeared.
The tall attendants on both sides of the staircase shouted in a very high voice: "The great kingdom of Coronia, the best friend of the brave and wise king, the recipient of the Order of Colognes, the heir of the discoverer of the Pervas River, and the glorious heir of the ancestors, Duke Juniels Pervas, send your blessings to the beautiful Princess Elisabeth, may she always be young, beautiful, healthy and happy." ”
As an aristocratic family with almost the same length of history as Colognes, the Pervas family's status in Coronia is almost like the famous Eastern Jin Dynasty famous saying in East's previous life: "The king and the horse share the world." ”
No other family has infiltrated every aspect of Coronia like the Pervas family (not counting the Coronians themselves). According to rumors, the cash in the Pervas family's treasury alone is more than half of the annual financial income of Coronia, not to mention the various industries that occupy a dominant position. Of Spencer I's cousins alone, three were married to girls with the surname Pervas, and four sisters were married into Pervas's family. And the intermarriage between ordinary nobles and the Pervas family is even more innumerable. The intricacies of the relationship between them are so intricate that even if all the officials of the Royal Registry are so tired that they vomit blood, it is difficult to sort them out.
In the face of the centrifugal tendency of such a powerful family entangled with itself, every Coronian Kingdom will inevitably feel a headache, and can only continue to strengthen the offensive to help the faction in the Pervas family that hopes to maintain unity with the kingdom.
On an occasion like tonight, even Spencer I would not have thought that the Duke of Pervas, who was already seventy or eighty, would be present in person. This old duke is not a legend, not even a high-rank. It is rumored that in recent years, his health has not been very good, and he doesn't know when he will leave this world.
Duke Juniers Pervas, only two sons survived to adulthood. At this point, the descendants of the Pervas family have not been very prosperous, so much so that there have been several extinctions in history and have to be taken over by outsiders.
His second son, Olael Pervas, is said to be a mage who has not been seen much in Colombo's aristocratic circles. The exact level was not known. But twelve years ago, this mage married Helena Thrace, one of the two most famous flowers in Colombo at that time, and was already a legendary powerhouse at the age of twenty.
Helena Thrace, together with another Maura Gault, studied under the mighty Arcane Alpha Gianna Westmoreland. The two of you chased after me, and within two years they entered the legendary realm, and they became beautiful talks back then. The most important thing is that these two are first-class beauties, and they both became legendary powerhouses at a very young age, and they were in the limelight, so that the good deeds of the royal capital called them the two famous flowers of the royal capital Colombo.
Just when everyone was paying attention to who these two legendary flowers would be, the Gault family of Mora Gault was almost wiped out overnight. Mora Gault himself is said to have died. And then, Helena Thrace married into the Pervas family at lightning speed, and became the daughter-in-law of the new Duke of Pervas.
Thinking of the family of his eldest brother who died almost at the same time, everyone felt that there were many problems. Because everyone knows the Gault family, they are one of the main supporters of the Duke's eldest brother.
Just when everyone was in shock, a year later, Helena gave birth to Lin'er very smoothly, and the next year, she gave birth again and gave birth to a daughter.
This time, let everyone know that Olael Pervas is definitely a legendary powerhouse, and it is a very strong kind of legend that can make a female legendary powerhouse conceive and strengthen itself to the extreme.
As for the eldest son of the Duke, Prague Pervas, he is the famous second playboy of the royal capital. Of course, now that he is not young, he is no longer so interested in simply engaging in women. Prague Pervas now presides over the most lucrative fighting tournament in the capital, and it can be said that he is making money every day. But it is said that he now enjoys some of the perverted gameplay, which makes many people who are lucky enough to witness it cry out and can't bear it.
Tonight, the Duke of Pervas came to the Palace of Treasures not his eldest son, who was famous and gentle, nor his second son, who lived in seclusion, but a beautiful woman who looked no more than twenty years old. She has thick black hair, delicate and beautiful facial features, and high spirits, as a mother of two children, she has a plump upper circumference and hips, but at the waist, it is quickly sunken, showing a typical gourd-shaped figure.
Helena Thrace Pervas, a stunner who is still talked about by the lustful people of the royal capital, appeared in Esther's eyes for the first time.
