Chapter 41: Guardian Knight!

I didn't get another visit from the second prince,

Yifeng looked very depressed!

In his words.

With such a sought-after talent like him, why do you have to look at the thatched house twice to show sincerity!

Even if the price yourself is too high.

It's like doing business, you make a price, and you have to pay back a price!

Therefore, at the table in the next few days, Yifeng seemed a little unthinking.

And Ilabella, who learned the reason, laughed and ate a few more bowls of ice cream.

However, soon it will not be Yifeng who does not think about tea and rice.

Because, His Majesty the King has entered the city.

Different from the scene where Yifeng thought of paving the road with yellow sand and 3,000 royal forest troops opening the way, His Majesty King Edward came to Ping'an City this time and seemed very low-key.

On a dark night, a group of Janissaries with flags gathered in a carriage and drove into the Heian Grand Duke's Mansion without realizing it.

More precisely, His Majesty was brought in on a stretcher.

It is said that His Majesty the King was anxious about his daughter, and the wind and dust were rolling all the way, unfortunately infected with the wind and cold, and he still refused to rest for a moment!

On the second day, when Ilabella, who had learned the news, did not even have breakfast, and with tears in her eyes, she dragged Yifeng to His Majesty's house.

Edward III received them in a spacious palace.

The old king was noticeably older, his cheeks were very thin, his eyes were sunken deeply, and he was lying on a chaise longue, coughing incessantly.

Seeing Irabella and the others enter the door, her spirits lifted a little, and she half-sat up with the support of the guards.

"Father!"

Erabella let out a wail and threw herself into the arms of His Majesty, weeping silently.

"Good boy, it's great that you're okay! Don't cry, seeing you coming, my father's illness is half healed!"

Edward stretched out his withered hand and caressed Erabella's hair lovingly, his eyes filled with tears.

It's really hard to let outsiders be present in a picture of a father-daughter relationship like this.

The guards and generals kept a low profile and quietly began to retreat, leaving only a few princes and Ilabella and others to look around.

Yifeng lowered his head and followed the end of the line, just about to raise his feet, but was beckoned back by His Majesty the King.

"This is the hero who saved Ilabella, Lord Yifeng!

The king's kind attitude flattered Yifeng a little.

Yifeng hurriedly took a few steps forward and stood in front of the king, wanting to be modest.

"This is what Yifeng should do!"

The old king waved his hand and coughed violently. Ilabella quickly slapped him on the back a few times, and the king was able to catch his breath.

"You don't need to say anything! You have done a good job, and I will not hesitate to reward such a meritorious hero!"

His Majesty tilted his head and thought for a while, then said.

"I have nothing to reward now! When I get back to Atlantus, I'll give another reward!"

Yifeng, who was not rewarded, was a little disappointed, so he listened to the king for a twist.

"Still. Irabella said that I would make you a guardian knight, right! In this case, I, Edward, will be the lord and canonize you as the guardian knight of Irabela!"

That's it!?

Yifeng, who was full of hope for God's turn, was dumbfounded.

The second prince quietly tugged at Yifeng's sleeve.

"Are you stupid with joy? Not every knight can be canonized by His Majesty! This is a great honor, you know?"

Even without the second prince's explanation, Yifeng could get a hint from his sour tone.

Especially when His Majesty the King set the date of the canonization and motioned for everyone to step down.

Arthur, the second prince who walked side by side with Yifeng, told Yifeng with strange and envious eyes.

"Do you know His Majesty's intentions?"

Yifeng shook his head.

The second prince hates that iron can't become steel, and he can't wait to give this guy a kick.

"The canonization of knights is generally very grand, and an important festival is generally chosen, or when the great victory class returns to the imperial capital and is rewarded for meritorious service. You're a different person this time, it's your father who learned that you're going to duel tomorrow, and deliberately put the canonization ceremony before the duel, do you understand?"

Yifeng's eyes narrowed innocently.

"Isn't it a duel yet?

Arthur covered his eyes speechlessly.

"You don't understand this, this is a kind of protection in disguise on the part of His Majesty. Think about it, a newly canonized guardian knight, or His Majesty himself canonized, who would dare to play a heavy hand in a duel?"

Yifeng smashed his mouth, full of dissatisfaction.

"What's the use of this? Without His Majesty's protection, that Shaquille that my brother still fought can't find the north, so it's better to come to something practical!"

That being said, there is no doubt that Yifeng's unhappiness has long since disappeared.

Especially after he harvested Shaquille's depressed eyes.

............

In Atlanta, the canonization of knights is a very sacred and solemn event.

On the second day, the weather was beautiful.

On the military academy of Grand Duke Linda, the flags fluttered and the officials were solemn.

The high steps were covered with a red carpet, and Yifeng stepped forward step by step on the carpet in the eyes of everyone.

His Majesty King Edward was at the top of the stairs waiting for the breeze.

Today, His Majesty is dressed in a grand manner, wearing a crown inlaid with various gemstones, a black gold-painted cloak ringing fiercely behind him, and a cuirass made of Mithril carved with purple gold flowers.

He is playing the role of a witness today. Generally, this role is presided over by a priest or a cardinal, which shows that Yifeng's treatment is very high.

The ceremony of canonization is not cumbersome.

After a flurry of drums and trumpets, His Majesty brought Yifeng to his knees, unfolded a piece of paper, and recited in a high-pitched tone the eight virtues of a knight, namely, humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul.

And like the Western weddings of later generations, ask.

"Excuse me, Your Excellency Yifeng, are you willing to abide by the virtues of a knight and swear to protect Her Royal Highness, even at the cost of your life?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Edward took a crosssword from one of the guards and gave it to Erabela.

Erabella used the sword in her hand to lightly touch Yifeng's back and shoulders.

Yifeng swears in the name of the guardian knight.

"Abide by the loyalty and dogma of the knights, and swear to defend the glory of Her Royal Highness the princess!"

Once the ritual is complete, the next step is to bestow swords, armor, etc., on the knights, and receive blessings from the people.

Yifeng took advantage of Arthur's blessing when he brought a wine glass, pulled him to a quiet corner, and finally asked the question that had been circling in his heart for a long time.

"Your Royal Highness, may I ask what kind of official this guardian knight is, and how much is his salary in a month?"

Arthur, who was clinking glasses and leaning his head to drink, barely squirted.

"This is glory! A glory that the entire youth of Atlanta can't hope for, and you even ask for money?"

Yifeng patted his thigh in annoyance.

"It's a big loss, and you have no money to work!

The second prince was stunned, and he couldn't wait to kick this guy who saw the money out of the stage with one kick.

In fact, the second prince is far from the only one who wants to kick Yifeng out of power.

When Yifeng was pulling his hair in distress.

Shaquille stepped forward and asked for his life.

"Great Lionheart, my majesty, your loyal servant Shaquille, request the beginning of a duel with Lord Yifeng!"

Yifeng's eyes suddenly froze.

The moment is finally coming!
