Volume 2: My Youth Chapter 11: The Greatest Assembly of Nations (1)
In order to appease the people, soothe their wounds, and restore their prestige, three weeks after the end of the great war between the two sides, the Holy Kingdom intends to hold an unprecedented assembly of nations.
The Council of the Apostles invited almost all the nations of the known world.
The Sanctuary City, which had been restored and perfected in the midst of politics/change/chaos, began to change its costume, and was completely enveloped in a cheerful atmosphere.
Artists, musicians, businessmen, and these people were invited to form an expo on an unprecedented scale.
Oh, and another military parade.
The Holy Kingdom will take advantage of the presence of high-level officials from various countries to show the strength of its military.
Of course, the hidden power of the Holy Kingdom will appear.
The Apostolic Council even paid some price for the Institute to bring out the true Knights of Unity to grace the military parade at the rally.
The fleet of steam airships, all draped in colorful flags and flags representing various countries, roamed above Sanctuary City.
Boost the atmosphere while flexing your muscles.
The Alchemy Matrix did not need to be hidden from the eyes of the world, and they were fully used to enhance the gathering.
The fortified defenses, which had not yet been repaired, were simply ordered to be converted into projects for the assembly of nations.
As for what it is, it is difficult to tell from the newly built palace complexes.
Maybe it's just decoration, maybe it's the venue for a grand Mass.
After all, the Holy Kingdom still has to promote spiritual religion.
However, for some reason, it is impossible to use too much of the hidden power, so it is still necessary to build a lot of steam pipelines to meet the needs of the future assembly of nations.
It can be said that for this gathering of nations, the Holy Kingdom is giving almost everything.
And the flow of people will restore Middle-earth, which has been shrouded in the clouds of war for a long time.
γ
Since that day, I have been exposed to the shadows of the world. But Kirsten didn't tell me much, and the butlers were like that, and it was even more unlikely.
So I'm not fully in the dark yet.
But there's nothing to regret, as the head of the Unified Knights, I'll get to know them one day.
Because of my own wounds and the rebuilding of the Unified Knights, I was not sent for the two major battles that had just ended, so I was able to live a relatively peaceful life.
The housekeeper has become smaller, and now she needs me to take care of her. Although Reinhardt and Clevisia both wanted to come and help, Veroa seemed to be close to me alone, and only listened to me.
So, after thinking about it for a while, I decided to send her to school to study. For this part, Ludwig was asked for help.
He's a good talker now, and I don't know if it's my performance that makes him happy, or if he finally stops venting his frustration with my father on me?
The only problem was that Viroya was so clever that after two weeks, the headmaster had to ask us to take her back.
Because she completed all the courses up to high school, she even passed the entrance exam to the National University of Lorrain with perfect marks.
As a last resort, I had to take her to the Institute of Secret Studies.
At first, Kirsten seemed to have misunderstood something, thinking that this was my daughter.
Please, how old am I! And even if Veroya looks small, she can't be my daughter!
It was up to Kirsten to arrange Viroya's study course, and this time there was no such thing as a two-week end of school.
But after three weeks, was it normal for her to start discussing the subject with Kirsten?
Kirsten took full control of the Institute, and she began her own iron-clad reforms.
She took advantage of the traitor's affair to replace a group of personnel and place her own people in important positions.
What needs to be busy now is to familiarize yourself with the one thing that is familiar with the integrated knight armor. The five-meter-tall ancient mecha really seemed to have a will of its own.
We still need time to get used to it.
But before I can do that, I need to go to the Sacred Royal Train Station to meet the White Wolf Princess from the Kingdom of Rothiel.
γ
The train that represents the ruling power of a kingdom and the powerful family is decorated with great glory and wealth, filling the sky with the majestic and luxurious atmosphere.
Compared to my special train, it's like the creation of two worlds.
Presumably the interior of the car is the palace moved in?
Rothier's creations, which were supposed to be known for their rugged style, are now described as sophisticated.
It slowly drove into the train station.
I was a little unnatural, after all, the atmosphere of the Gathering of Nations was the most suitable for some marriages, and now my fiancΓ©e sat on the train that was gradually approaching me.
I straightened my dress.
In the tradition of the Holy Kingdom, the presence of a child is the best way to pray for the safety of the guests.
What used to be a cross-border train was easily attacked by strange things that appeared alone and had an accident, until the Sino-Turkish coalition made great efforts to build a border defense.
So, a ten-year-old girl, now named Veroya, was standing beside me in a white costume of a Cultist and looking curiously at the train honking in the distance.
Skilled driving skills made the train gate stop right in front of the red carpet.
The door opened, and a group of Rothier Kingdom court guards stepped out.
The king's health was deteriorating, so the day of Ferlenvinoel's accession to the throne was getting closer and closer.
Now she is the representative of the kingdom.
The band of the Holy Kingdom began to play the welcome music, and in the midst of the pine-like ranks of Guards soldiers, Fellernville slowly stepped off the train in a ceremonial military uniform, across the red carpet, and came to me.
I bowed to her and said:
"Welcome to the Holy Kingdom, Her Royal Highness Princess Felenvinoer."
"Thank you for welcoming me, I'm satisfied." She nodded.
"Then invite Her Royal Highness the Princess to take a standing car to the Rothschild Embassy in the Holy Country?"
"Gladly."
I reached out my left hand and took Ferrenol's right hand and led her to the limousine.
How could she not feel that her hands were so soft before, that she didn't look like a warrior at all?
This limousine is powered by an alchemy matrix, so compared to a steam locomotive, it has almost no noise and almost no jitter when driving, like a moving VIP room.
Sitting with her made my brain heat up a bit, but having Viroya by her side was a good thing to distract me.
There's no way around it, after all, this is my fiancΓ©e.
However, the presence of Viroya also seems to have misunderstood the entourage of the kingdom.
They looked at me and Viroya coldly, which exacerbated my discomfort.
Fortunately, Felenvinoel knew who it was, because I wrote to her.
So in order to clear up the misunderstanding, she asked:
"Mr. Kimchi, who is this cute little girl?"
"Hello Sister Felian Vinoer, my name is Veroya, Veroya. Ayukasi, is Kimchi. Ayukasi's sister. β
For some reason, Veroya rushed to introduce herself before I could speak.
But fortunately, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and the atmosphere in the car finally came alive. The hard faces of those who accompanied him finally melted.
So what the hell is there to misunderstand here!
The limousine soon came to the front of the Rothschild Embassy.
Ambassador Rothschild personally came out to greet His Royal Highness the Princess.
This was the end of my work, and the limousine had to walk home by myself because I had to be on standby next to the embassy at all times.
However, it is not far from the Deland Mansion, and you can buy some vegetables and Viloya's favorite cakes on the way.
Just as I was contemplating what to do next, Ambassador Rothschild suddenly walked in.
"Mr. Kimchi, please wait a minute!" He said, hurrying to catch up with me
"What's the matter, Mr. Ambassador?" I paused and asked, somewhat confused.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to invite you to dinner, do you see if you are free?"
No need to ask, I'm sure I'm not available. But how dare you say that.
"No problem, but my sister she...
"Sir's sister is also invited."
"Then let's go." I nodded
"Okay, thank you for the face. Please follow me. β
I dare say he wouldn't have behaved like this if it weren't for Ferlenvinoer.
Walk into the embassy and go to the fifth floor. The second floor is for the staff, the third floor is for entertaining distinguished guests, the fourth floor is the residence of the ambassador, and the fifth floor is the accommodation for the distinguished guests who have always come from the kingdom of Rothschild.
It seems that Ferlian Vinoel has only invited me and my sister today.
The ambassador left the floor in amusement.
Felenvianoel beckoned to me, and I walked over with Veroya.
It was supposed to be me next to Ferenvirnoel, but Veroa sat down next to Ferenvirnoel first, and it was Veloa who sat between us.
Her Royal Highness seemed to be interested in Veroya, rubbing her head and touching her face.
"I can't believe it's the one." She said.
"I hate it, it's not Aishu Youer, it's Wei Luoya! Veroya is Veroya, and Aishuur is Aishuur! Viroya said dissatisfied.
But she still felt Ferlian Vinoer's touch with a look of enjoyment.
I don't know if she knows this brother and sister-in-law who is about to become her.
"It's a tsundere little girl."
"Yes, but she has the capital of tsundere. Powerful people are arrogant, and that is called cute. β
"You know why I'm here this time."
Felenvianoer suddenly got straight to the point.
βγγγ Yes, I understand. β
"To be honest, we are friends, comrades-in-arms, you are a good choice, and I am also luckier than many princesses in history. At least no princess has ever fought alongside her fiancΓ© in life and death. β
βγγγ Yes? So? "I'm not really sure what she means.
"But what's the matter with Miss Kirsten?"
"She's my friend, I've known her since I first came to the Holy Kingdom, and I can also say that I'm a colleague, after all, we're both working for the Institute of Secret Studies."
βγγγ Do you know her true identity? β
"What? Real identity? What else does Kirsten have? I asked, puzzled.
βγγγ She is a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of the Rhine, and the former King of the Rhine is her grandfather. β
βγγγ You're not joking, are you? β
"What am I joking at?" She shook her head.
"This is a true fact, because the previous king of the Rhine Kingdom had only one daughter, and Kirsten was the first choice for the next king of the Rhine Kingdom in theory."
