8 The Princess and the Knight (3)
Under the watchful eyes of all the elves, the crystal leaves slowly fell on Ophelia's shoulders and then melted away.
At the same time, the embodied magic web and arms above their heads also disappeared. The ceiling was completely closed, and there was not a single light coming through, as if everything that had just been seen was just an illusion.
But all the goblins present knew that this was not an illusion, but that the Seven Princesses had really received the gift of the Goblin Mother.
After all, at this moment, Ophelia's feet had another mana aura, which added up to ten mana auras, that is, he was successfully promoted to the ten-ring mage.
The change in this scene made Sylvia subconsciously want to get up and stand up, but she still held back, she glanced at the expressions of several brothers and sisters on her side, and sure enough, they all had gloomy faces.
"Whew..."
This made her a little worried and a little helpless, and finally just took a deep breath and let her emotions gradually stabilize.
It's just that Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess knows that after the appearance of the gift of the Fairy Mother, until the father completely retires for hundreds of years, the life of the seventh sister will not be peaceful.
The expressions of those nobles were also changing, completely different from before. In this generation of royal family, in addition to His Royal Highness the Grand Prince, it is the Seventh Princess who has been gifted by the Mother of Fairies.
But the last coming-of-age ceremony of the eldest prince was far worse than this time. - The mother of fairies has materialized, and the deeper meaning of this is completely self-evident.
"My seventh daughter, Ophelia Astram!" Before the scene could be completely chaotic, the Fairy Emperor stretched out his hand and took a dragon bone staff inlaid with a huge ruby from the court mage next to him, "In the name of the current Holy Emperor, I hereby officially announce that you, who have reached adulthood at this moment, will become the second in line to the authority of the Empire." β
The emperor's voice resounded throughout the ceremonial hall in an instant, and all the goblins fell silent, and the whole atmosphere fell into solemnity.
Only his voice became the only one.
The Fairy Emperor continued to issue an edict: "Titled Ouroboros, give the territory in the southern tulip land, 50,000 secret gold, and 1,000 armor soldiers." β
When each royal family reaches adulthood, they will be given land, money, and army by the emperor, which are the three indispensable elements of the successor.
Ophelia's gift is no different from that of her previous adult brothers and sisters, just an additional title. But what the emperor did next made the eyes of some nobles widen.
The Fairy Emperor let go of his hand, and the dragon bone staff did not fall, but floated towards the location of the Seven Princesses, "And this staff of Athanus is the staff that I fought against the evil dragon clan seven hundred years ago in the Flame Mountain of Calles, skinned and extracted its bones, and condensed the lava of the dead to cast this staff, symbolizing the authority of death and conquest. β
"Now that it's yours, I hope you can use it well from now on and live up to my expectations. β
Ophelia was stunned for a few seconds, and then realized that it was not a dream, and then took the staff with an ecstatic face, and said loudly, "Yes, I will not disappoint your father." β
Not to mention that those big nobles were speechless in shock, even Sylvia's expression changed, she looked at her second brother, and the other party's expression also became very embarrassed.
This is the emperor's exclusive staff, and now it has been given to the seventh sister, which is simply designated as the next successor. Not to mention the other brothers and sisters, together with the second brother of the queen mother, their faces changed.
'This sucks... Father is roasting the seventh sister on the fire!' Sylvia looked at Ophelia full of joy, the stupid girl didn't know what it meant, "If the seventh sister can succeed in ascending to the empress in hundreds of years, then there is no need to mention anything, but if it fails..."
When she thought of this, she didn't dare to continue thinking about it. ββIn the history of the imperial family, there are countless goblin royal families who died for the throne.
Xu Xianxian was draped in golden armor and felt that after the emperor issued an edict, the atmosphere of the entire ceremonial hall had changed. couldn't help but glance at the seventh princess holding the dragon bone staff on the platform, and a thoughtful look appeared between her eyebrows: "The average lifespan of goblins is two thousand years, and since the qualitative change of the soul of the Nine Rings, the lifespan has naturally been extended on the original basis, with the status and strength of this seventh princess, it should not be a problem to live for three or four thousand years." But why was it reincarnated more than 200 years later?'
'Is it sealed?' or is it death? Is it dying in a political event for power?'
But looking at the other party's innocent smile, the kind that is easy to see through at a glance, Lori Xu feels that the other party has a greater chance of dying from a political conspiracy, a person with this kind of character... Oh no, a goblin of this character, not at all suitable for contact with imperial politics.
Just when Lori Xu was thinking about it, the coming-of-age ceremony of the Seventh Princess had been completed, and all that remained was the time for the other party to choose the guard knight.
At this time, after the fairy emperor and empress had finished ordering some matters, they retreated under the clothes of the maids. - The selection of knights is not enough to qualify the presence of the emperor and empress.
The court mage flapped his wings a few times, flew to Ophelia's shoulder, and whispered: "Your Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, the people sitting on both sides of this side are your knight reserves, with incomparable loyalty and good talent, it depends on which one you want to choose to be your escort knight? Generally, you can choose two or three, if you really want to choose a few more, you can submit an application to the knight's court, but the result will take a certain amount of time." β
"Don't choose me, whoever likes to sign the deed of sale..."
Although Lolitsu is very curious about Zhen'er's past life, there is no rule that she must contact her sister's past life.
After all, the current other party doesn't know him, and in the eyes of this princess, he is just a little royal knight.
This status is really unequal, and if she doesn't do it, she will be killed, so how can she lie in bed for 300 years and return to the future?
Curiosity kills cats.
Xu Xianxian has suffered too much in curiosity, including returning to the past, but now she really doesn't want to be curious, and saving her life is still the first.
While she was lacking interest, several other fairy knights, both male and female, stood up excitedly when they saw the eyes of the seventh princess sweeping, and they almost shouted 'choose me' and 'choose me' loudly.
These goblins all know that after this coming-of-age ceremony, the Seventh Princess is definitely in the forefront of the empire, and if she can hug this thigh, even the family will soar into the sky.
"All I need is a knight of the guards. Ophelia swept over Xu Xianxian, and then glanced at the male knight on the other side, but the last finger pointed to Xu Qianqian's location, "It's her." β
Originally, Xu Xianxian looked at the other party's gaze and did not stay on herself, and secretly felt a little happy, and even laughed, but when she saw the other party's finger pointing over, she couldn't help frowning her eyebrows, her smile was a little stiff, but she still subconsciously moved her little ass to the other side.
I think it's the knight next to me, I'm the youngest and the weakest, so they won't choose me anyway. β
Xu Xianqian's emotions didn't fluctuate much, but in her heart, she kept comforting herself.
But her ass was not yet hot, and Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess above, but she walked over with steps, looking at the fairy knight in golden armor, stretched out her smooth and white jade hand, and looked at her with an inexplicable smile: "Natalie Thomson, my lovely knight." β
Lori Xu's face turned white.
