Gladys rubbed her sour eyes and sighed: "Since my husband died, I have been busy with political affairs, and I am indeed a little ashamed to neglect my family relationship with Henry. ”

Shani persuaded: "Your Majesty, your diligence is obvious to all, and I believe that the prince will be able to understand your distress when he grows up." ”

Gladys smiled: "That's good, I also hope that he can thrive and become an excellent king and take on the responsibility of our empire." ”

The torrential rain gradually became heavier, the wind howled outside, and all the celestial phenomena showed the feeling of winter, and the conversation between the master and servant was gradually drowned out by the sound of the rain.

At Nikolai's house, Dawn was sitting in a chair listening to Nikolai's teaching: "Son, your failure this time can be regarded as an exercise for you, you don't need to be so frustrated. ”

"But grandfather, I have been so humiliated by that pariah in public, I will never forget this revenge!" said Dawn with an angry face, as if he was going to fight Carter to the death.

"Your own sword skills are not as good as others, don't blame others for failure, I've been very busy lately, don't trouble me because of these little things!" Nikolai said impatiently as he looked out the window.

Nikolai stood up and said, "The men of our Nikolai family have always found face by themselves, think for yourself!"

With that, Nikolai walked out of the room, leaving the silent Dawn alone in the room.

As soon as Nikolai left the room, he was greeted by one of his men, who had been waiting at the door for a long time.

On the way, Nikolai asked, "Dean David, has he calmed down?"

The subordinate bowed his head and replied, "My lord, the dean has found a new medium for the ceremony, enough materials for the ceremony, as long as you give an order, we can start the ceremony." ”

Nikolai nodded and said, "You have done a good job, but before the ceremony begins, I still need to report to the empress to know, after all, there are still some important things in her hands." ”

The subordinate said gloomily: "The adult still needs to endure for a while, and when the ceremony is over, the empire is what the adult says!"

"Silence!"

The subordinates hurriedly apologized: "It's under Meng Lang." ”

As they talked, the two of them came to a facility where ritual-related items were kept, and most of the people working there were professors from the academy and members of the Night Sword who were responsible for guarding it.

Most of the employees who work are busy with their own affairs, and even when they see their direct supervisors, they just say hello and concentrate on their work.

This ceremony poured the effort of the empire, and it was a difficult task that could only be accomplished by relying on the national strength of the empire, which can be said to be a big gamble for the empire.

Years of research on the sudden appearance of strange objects have not been in vain, this is a truth that everyone knows.

Nikolai traveled to the deepest part of the facility and met Dean David, who was in charge of the most important circle of the ceremony.

Nikolai looked at the formation that had cost a lot of money and asked, "Dean David, are you sure you're ready, we don't have the materials for the next ceremony!"

David knelt on the ground, was drawing the final unfinished pattern with blood donation, and said without looking back: "Don't worry, I have already confirmed me many times." ”

"That's good, you hurry up and finish the rest of the patterns, I'm going to report to the Empress, I don't know how she will feel when the time comes, it's really pleasant!"

Nikolai smiled sly, without the slightest trace of his usual gentleness.

The rain continued to fall in the sky, and even thunder was uncommon in winter, and the north wind roared as if to declare its dissatisfaction.

The sudden rainstorm protected the inhabitants of St. Caron, but in the already dilapidated frontier, I don't know how many poor people will suffer.
