Chapter 17: The Duke of Eternal Night

"He's coming?"

Lying comfortably on an open-air stone chair in the palace garden, it seemed that the winter sun was slightly dazzling, the middle-aged man said with his eyes slightly squinted. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, it's coming!"

Orrando was still an old man who was about to enter the earth, a wide robe that was also hanging on his thin body, squinting his eyes as if he was also enjoying the warm winter sun, the court archmage replied casually.

"Your Majesty, a court duke may not be able to tie him to Lordaeron!"

"At least give him a reason to come and see!"

Finally opening his eyes, Terenus looked at the blue sky, and after saying something in confusion, his gaze condensed, and he stood up, and the current King Minethil waved his hand, and a faint figure appeared in front of him.

"Tell the queen that tomorrow there will be a ceremony for the knighthood of the archmage of the court, and let her prepare too!"

"Yes!"

The kneeling shadow bowed slightly, and was about to get up and retreat when the voice of Terenus rang out again.

"This archmage, I give him the title of Eternal Night!"

"Yes!"

Bowing down again, the shadow simply knelt on one knee and vanished.

Here, at first, only a small part was the residence of Queen Lordaeron, but with the "efforts" of each generation of Minethir kings, it gradually evolved into a large group of pure white palaces, especially the contemporary Minethil kings, in order to express their love for the queen, for the first time to apply magic to this pure white palace, and officially named the Spring Palace.

It is the cold winter wax moon, the spring palace is still warm as spring, and the huge palace complex is matched with a number of magical gardens built by magic, as if the spring palace is fixed in spring.

"Queen..."

The maid lowered the sound of her footsteps as much as possible, slowly moved to the side of the lying figure, and after glancing at the maids standing quietly on both sides, she called in a low voice.

"Huh?"

The eyes were still closed, but the response was very clear, and it was clear that the owner of the voice was absolutely awake.

"Your Majesty's secret guard has been here!"

"Hmm!"

Qingli's maid, who was only in her early twenties, looked up at the queen, who was still with her eyes closed, and then lowered her head and continued.

"Your Majesty said that tomorrow there will be a ceremony for the knighthood of the Grand Master of the palace in the palace!"

"Archmage of the Court?"

Her eyes opened suddenly, and the queen stared at the maid who was silent for a long time, then closed her eyes again, and with a slight wave of her hand, the maid quietly withdrew, while the one on the wide palace bed continued to take a nap, only the occasional beating of her eyelids clearly indicated that the most noble woman of Lordaeron had not really fallen asleep.

However, the calm did not last long, and a slightly hurried footsteps came in, this time point has always been the Queen's nap time, and theoretically everyone who walks into this palace will try to lower their voices so as not to disturb Her Majesty's sleep.

But on the other hand, those who can enter this palace unhindered and unscrupulously at this time are obviously not ordinary people.

"Your Excellency!"

However, before he really entered the core palace, the visitor was blocked by the female guard at the door.

"Briefing! I need an audience!"

Although the person who came looked anxious, he still patiently watched the female guard walk in to report, until the other party came out and asked him, and then trotted in.

"Your Majesty!"

Following the maid who led the way, it didn't take long to enter the core hall of Zhengzhen, and when she saw Her Majesty the Queen sitting on the jade throne, after respectfully giving a noble salute, she took a few steps forward, and was not even ten steps away from the jade seat, far beyond the distance that ordinary ministers could approach.

"I heard there was a winter hunt today, why, didn't my Chanel go!"

There was a slight tiredness on her face, but when she saw the young nobleman approaching, the queen still had a smile on her face.

"Auntie, I just came back from outside the city!"

Patting the hunting suit on his body, Chanel just wanted to mention the high-grade magic sword on his waist, but then he remembered that when he entered the palace, the waist sword was taken away by the palace guards, so he shook his head and said to the queen.

"What's the matter?

After looking left and right, there were maids on both sides who came out and handed the chair to the young nobleman in front of him, obviously it was not the first time this had happened, and tea came up later.

"Auntie, I heard..."

It seemed that it was a rush all the way, and the young nobleman was indeed a little thirsty, and after taking a sip of the teacup, he hurriedly put down the teacup and said to the queen not far away, only halfway through speaking, he looked around a little hesitantly.

"Hmph!

Also sipping tea, the queen saw her nephew's careful thoughts at a glance, waved her hand to retreat the maids around her, leaving only the two most intimate maids on the left and right, and snorted lowly.

"Hehe, I heard that the half-elf mage of Stratholme has arrived in the royal capital!"

The hand that was still sipping the tea froze slightly, and the queen continued to drink the tea before slowly putting down the cup and looking at the pro-nobles who were staring at her.

"Yes, and tomorrow His Majesty will hold the knighthood ceremony of his court archmage!"

"Auntie!"

After receiving the final news from the queen, Chanel's face suddenly became ugly, and he stood up straight, looked at the queen anxiously, and cried out with some pleading.

"Your Majesty has already made a decision, and it is naturally impossible to change it!"

Frowning and motioning for the young nobleman to sit down, the queen said slowly, and then added under the other party's even more ugly look.

"However, every court archmage has the title of Duke of the Court uniquely, and if you want to stay in the royal capital of Lordaeron, you must give up other titles, even if it is a field viscount!"

"But Your Majesty..."

The young nobleman's face when he heard the words eased slightly, and then he said worriedly.

"Your Majesty's decision is Your Majesty's decision, but it has always been the work of the Senate and the Queen's Council to uphold the laws of the kingdom!"

Taking a sip of tea calmly, the queen said pointedly.

"I see, Auntie!"

Looking down and thinking about it, Chanel turned his head and grinned, then got up and bowed to the queen, then turned around and walked out quickly.

"Which dukedom was awarded this time?"

Looking at the back of the young nobleman in the distance, the queen slowly drank most of the tea in the cup before asking, and she didn't know who she was talking to, and the only two maids left beside her were completely motionless as if they hadn't heard anything.

"A new title, a name from Your Majesty, eternal night..."

A deep voice came from behind, but for the first time, the queen frowned, resting one hand on her knee and rubbing the teacup on her fingertips with the other.

"When Your Majesty summoned you, didn't you say anything?"

After a long pause, the queen asked again.

"Yes!"

This time, it was the maid on the left who responded.

"Heh... Your Majesty!"

After a frowning pause, the queen suddenly shook her head and said with a smile, and instead glanced at the maid on her right.

"Send the highest letterhead, let Alsace rush back to Lordaeron, tonight... Must be there by tomorrow morning!"

"Yes..." (To be continued.) )
