Chapter 271: Signing Ceremony
Imperial capital, royal palace, royal chambers.
"Please sign!" a squire gestured lightly to the thick blank space of the paper, motioning for Ryan to sign his name on it.
Ryan nodded slightly, picked up the quill, dipped it in a little magic ink, and skillfully wrote his name, the squire waited until Ryan finished writing, picked up the thick document lightly, and then handed it to the squire standing next to Faraz, and after the two squires called the text, they once again placed it in front of Ryan and Faraz for the two of them to sign.
After each document had Ryan and Faras's signatures on it, the attendant picked up the thick document and began to show it to the surrounding guests, then closed the document and put it away properly, while Ryan and Faras stood together with a smile, took the wine from the servant, and drank it in public to show that they were happy to cooperate with each other.
After the applause of the guests present, Faras, as the host, was the first to speak: "Today, we are here, and Mr. Lane from the plains of Cassano has signed such a contract, from this moment on, the imperial capital and Cassano will become an eternal friendly alliance, we will support each other, support each other to go on, and bring hope and peace to every imperial subject on this continent." ”
According to the ceremony, Ryan naturally had to speak, and he only expressed his meaning in three short sentences: "The covenant between Cassano and the imperial capital is sacred and inviolable, and so is the love between me and Faraz, and any person or organization that tries to change this fact will be punished the most severely." ”
Ryan's speech made everyone present stunned, and then they all responded with warm applause, even the representatives of the southern forces such as Mochizuki City and Freedom Heaven with ghosts in their hearts also looked like they were moved by Ryan's words on the surface, but an unexpected thing happened at this time, the new king of the imperial capital, that is, Fernando XIV, actually left his seat at this time and ran to Ryan.
Due to the special status of this king, it was naturally impossible for the guards next to him to forcibly control his movements, so until this Fernando XIV ran in front of Lane, his guards could only look at him anxiously, and did not dare to rush forward and pull him away.
"You, you're Ryan, aren't you?" the 7-year-old little king deliberately put on an adult expression, but his appearance can only be described as innocent.
Ryan made a gesture that stunned everyone in front of everyone present, he actually bent down and picked up the little king, and the little king clapped his hands happily and shouted, "Great, you are the first person who dares to hug me!"
"Your Majesty, have you heard my name too?" asked Ryan gently.
"Yes, I heard General Orlando say your name," the little king tried to pretend to be an adult's serious appearance on his face, maybe he was trained in this area, and he didn't even have any timid expression when speaking in front of so many people: "He said that you met Sister Faraz at this time 4 years ago, but at that time you were only a small magic apprentice, I didn't expect that in just a few years, you will become the third enchanter on this continent after Victor and Blair!"
"Hehe, General Orlando compliments me too much!" Of course, Ryan couldn't be complacent because of these words of the little king, but most of such a young child would not lie, believing that what he said was true and credible, everyone turned their eyes to Orlando who was standing aside, and the latter had a faint smile on his face, and did not agree with the little king's words, but he did not say anything to defend them, obviously acquiescing.
"Can you teach me magic?" The little king suddenly spoke: "I also want to be a ** teacher like you, I want to protect my people from violation, I want to defeat all evil forces!"
"Oh, why me?" Ryan smiled and asked, "Master Victor is much more powerful than me, you should be looking for him." ”
"Four years!" the little king said seriously: "I will only need to learn from you, but if I learn from Master Victor, I am afraid..."
"I'm afraid of what?" Ryan watched as the little king did not finish his words, but looked at Lasi, and deliberately teased him: "If you don't say it, I won't think about it." ”
"Okay, I say, but you can't be angry, Sister Faraz. The little king said in a milky voice.
"Well, tell my sister quickly, my sister promised you, don't be angry. Seeing that Ryan was in good spirits, Faras played with them.
"How many years have Sister Lace been learning magic with Master Victor, ten years, ten years. The little king said solemnly, "Although I am a little smarter than Sister Faraz, it will take me ten years to reach the level of Sister Faraz, and I can't wait." ”
"Ahem!" Everyone present suddenly coughed, it was not that they had a collective cold, but they wanted to laugh but they didn't dare to laugh because of Faraz's presence, so they could only use this method to forcibly suppress their laughter.
"Hahahaha!" Ryan laughed, and Faras pinched the little king's face with a shy, and said angrily, "It's not that my sister is stupid, it's that Victor's old guy refuses to teach!"
"Well, of course I know that Sister Faras isn't stupid, otherwise Uncle Ryan wouldn't have married you, but Ryan, you won't refuse to teach me just because I said bad things about Sister Farath, right?"
"Of course not!" Ryan's gaze quickly swept over Faraz's face and General Orlando on the side, and did not find any sign that this matter was arranged by the two of them, and after quickly weighing the pros and cons of this matter, he decided to agree: "Your Majesty, I can promise you, but I have a few conditions, if you can't do it, then it's none of my business." ”
"Great," the little king clapped his hands and said excitedly: "The fourth ** division of the empire is about to be born!Well, but before that, Mr. Lane, can you not call me Your Majesty, you can call me by my name, my name is quite long, Fernando Harold, teacher, you can call me Harold in the future." ”
"All right, Harold. Ryan nodded and said, "I already had a student before, she was Barbara of Cassano, and you were my second student. My request is actually quite simple, since you want to learn magic from me, then I don't care who you are, when I teach you magic, you are only my student, and nothing else, understand?"
"Of course!" said Harold, the little king, with a nod.
"The second point, endure hardships!" Ryan said solemnly, "I admit that my time to learn magic is shorter than that of Faras, but the hardships I have to endure are naturally more than those of Faras, if you can't bear it, then I suggest you go to the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic to study hard." ”
"No problem!" replied Harold the Younger, "I am not afraid of hardship." ”
