"Father, it's really hateful that there are scum who want to impersonate those heroes to receive rewards. I beg you www.biquge.info punish these bastards!" Catherine said angrily.

When the emperor heard this, his face immediately turned green. Because he already knew about this, and even acquiesced to it at all, and he also accepted the benefits of others, otherwise, how could the people below have such courage?

So when he heard Catherine's words, he couldn't help frowning secretly, of course he couldn't say it in front of so many people, so he smiled reluctantly, and said, "How come? These people are all heroes who killed the Lich King, and I am sure that there is absolutely no one in the Griffon Kingdom who dares to impostor." Do you think so?" said the Emperor and asked the people around him.

"Of course, of course, there may be people there doing such things!"

It is said that at this point, if Catherine knew a little about the dark inside of officialdom, she should have heard the emperor's meaning. But Catherine grew up in the Chaos Kingdom and grew up under the influence of her teacher Sword God, so she didn't understand this at all. After all, a legendary master is a legendary master, and he doesn't bother to engage in any officialdom shady scenes. So Catherine didn't understand what the emperor meant, and continued to frown: "But father, I have been with my subordinates for so long, and we are very familiar with each other, I can prove that they are all impostors!"

When the emperor heard this, he was so angry with Catherine that he said in his heart, "Why did I raise such a fool?"

But now this occasion is obviously not suitable for him to teach his daughter a lesson, so he looked at Lao Xie, he felt that a guy like Lao Xie must be able to understand the reason. So he said, "Little Stephen, you should explain it to Catherine!"

When Catherine heard this, she immediately turned her face to the old evil.

"Okay!" the old evil didn't even think about it, and shrugged directly at Catherine and said: "You stupid, why haven't you seen that the impostor is a decision of the upper echelons of the griffin kingdom, and even your father and emperor are involved!

The old evil said this, and suddenly pierced the window paper that everyone on this layer avoided exposing, just like a group of naked rotten people doing bad things in a dark house, but the old evil directly gave the roof to Zhou, so that the ugly appearance of these people was exposed to the sun at once. That embarrassment, don't mention it.

A large group of surrounding nobles, including the emperor, suddenly turned red with shame. I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

And Catherine didn't expect this to be the case, so she was stupid on the spot, and asked stupidly: "Father, is this true?"

"This~" The emperor was ashamed and angry at this time, and he didn't know what to say.

But the fat man hurriedly walked over and whispered in Catherine's ear: "Your Highness, this is almost the practice of nobles, you should not know!"

"But if I pretend not to know, how can I be worthy of those warriors!" said Catherine, furious.

"Your Highness, they have already been rewarded handsomely, so they are willing to give up this honor, this is a fair trade, so you don't have to be like this at all!" the fat man hurriedly explained.

"Is that so?" said Catherine, who no one believed in it now, so she asked the old cult.

"Cut! At most, it's just a few gold coins!, but what is the money compared to their exploits?" the old evil shrugged his shoulders disdainfully, "Of course, for these high-ranking nobles, a few rewards are already the greatest favor." ”

"Shut up for me!" The fat man finally couldn't help but say angrily, "Little Stephen, are you crazy?

"So what?" said the old evil disdainfully: "I just look down on you guys who are bitches and still set up a chastity archway!"

"You~" The fat man was almost angry to death, he took a long breath, and then said with a wry smile: "Little Stephen, don't forget, you are also one of us." Moreover, one of the places to be replaced this time is a subsidiary family of the Stephen family, and two are the nephews of your father-in-law, Hercules. So, if you're going to scold, that includes yourself!"

"Damn!" the old evil couldn't help but scold: "What, this is my business?"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it!" The emperor finally spoke, "It's not too early, let's carry out the ceremony!" As he spoke, he glanced at the old evil with dissatisfaction, and then went to help Catherine himself.

At this time, Catherine was completely confused, and she didn't know how to resist at all, so she let the emperor help her to walk forward. When the others saw this, they thought Catherine had figured it out, so they all returned to their positions one after another, and a storm came to an end for the time being.

The Emperor helped Catherine to her seat in the center of the hall, then let go of Catherine, sat down herself, and smiled at the people around her: "All right, everyone, now I announce that the ceremony of knighting our heroes has officially begun!"

"Good!" When everyone heard this, they immediately applauded excitedly, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

The royal ceremonial officer then began to read out the emperor's orders. For about ten minutes, he said a lot of good things in a low voice, describing Catherine as if she had descended from the heavens, especially the details of the killing of the Lich King, which were exaggerated to an incomparable degree. In general, Catherine punched and kicked the legendary master Lich King to his knees and sang conquest, and Catherine then resolutely cut off his head. It's as easy as killing a pig. As for the old evil, they are completely a bunch of tricks, but at the end, little Stephen and others also assisted in the attack, and that's it.

Obviously, in order to show the majesty of the royal family, the emperor directly gave all the credit to his daughter. So much so that Catherine herself blushed after hearing this will. And the emperor was triumphant, as if he was so powerful himself.

After the command was read, the men below presented a scepter made of sterling silver, on which a lifelike griffon was cast, symbolizing the rights of the kingdom.

The emperor himself took it, walked up to Catherine, and said with a smile: "Dear daughter, I am proud of you!"

"Thank you, Father!" Catherine nodded indifferently, apparently she hadn't recovered from what had just happened.

When the emperor saw her like this, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but soon he smiled again and shouted to everyone: "Now I declare that the eldest princess Catherine is officially crowned as the princess of the protector of the country!"

"Hooray!" the crowd below immediately cheered.

And Catherine also knelt on one leg respectfully according to the rules, and then stretched out a pair of hands.

However, Catherine's inner world at this time was not calm, but turbulent, and a sense of guilt hit her like a tsunami, engulfing her in an instant. And she struggled in it.

This guilt comes from what just happened. As the commander of the legion, as the general who brought everyone, she saw that the honor and military exploits of her subordinates were robbed, and there was nothing she could do. This condemned Catherine's conscience so much that she felt a sense of suffocation.

So much so that at this critical moment of awarding the medal, Catherine thought not of her own honor, but of the tragic battle. Her heroic subordinates, in the face of the powerful army of the undead, followed her footsteps without hesitation and took the initiative to attack the other party. One after another, familiar comrades-in-arms fell on the battlefield one after another, and no one escaped, and it was their fearless sacrifice that dragged the elite Death Knight with their lives and flesh to make them successfully kill the Lich King.

But such a group of meritorious and persistent knights suffered extremely unequal treatment. And as their leader, she can only pretend not to know, and continue to enjoy the honor that these comrades-in-arms have helped her to obtain! Catherine could not help but be inexplicably ashamed and indignant at the thought of this, so that her hands trembled vigorously, but she could not reach out, as if she had in front of her not a scepter that symbolized honor and authority, but a sign of shame.

"Catherine, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Catherine's hands were just trembling vigorously, but she couldn't reach out to catch the scepter, the emperor couldn't help but urge: "Take your honor quickly?"

"This, should this really be my honor?" Catherine, who was struggling within, whispered to herself, "Why do I feel ashamed?"

At this time, the old evil suddenly laughed, and regardless of the surrounding crowd, he directly interjected and laughed: "The reason why I am ashamed is because you still have a conscience in your heart, and you have not been polluted by this group of [***] nobles, you should be glad that it is!"

It is said that on this solemn occasion, no one other than the emperor and the parties concerned can talk much. Therefore, as soon as the old evil words came out, they immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone, especially his words were particularly harsh, and almost immediately offended all the nobles in the rematch. As a result, countless murderous eyes were locked on the old evil's body. But the old evil didn't care about it at all.

Even the emperor couldn't help but be a little angry, and glared at the old evil again, the meaning of warning was very strong. It's a pity that the old evil ignores him at all, and just looks at Catherine intently.

After Catherine listened to the old evil's words, she seemed to understand a little in her heart, and immediately turned her face to the old evil and said, "Then what should I do now?"

"Ask yourself!" said the old evil solemnly: "Ask your own heart, it will guide you to your own path!"
