Chapter 114: Welcome Ceremony
Golden Rose? He seemed to be referring to himself? What does that mean? Linya didn't quite understand.
The rose is also a flowering plant that is special to the North Violet Continent, which Linya still knows. Susanna's small Order of the Royal Praetorian Guard, which consisted entirely of female knights, was named after the Royal Rose Knights.
In short, I guess it's some kind of compliment. "You've won the prize, Uncle Claire. Linya said with a deliberate look of pleasure.
"No, no, my dear niece Linya, this title is fully worthy of you. The blue star, the golden rose, and the beauty of the Violet Continent, when I saw it today, I believed that people were not lying. Although I have yet to meet Princess Alice of the Caiyun Empire, I believe that your beauty is truly inherently perfect, and it is absolutely unmatched!" Emperor Claire praised mercilessly. "Ah, staying in the castle all day, only to find out that the outside world is really eye-opening!"
Linya realized that the people outside actually gave herself this nickname. Is it because I have blonde hair? As for the blue star, it should be Sister Alice, and her hair is indeed as beautiful and charming as a blue jewel.
The two people, who were complete strangers just now, were commensurate with their uncles and nieces in the blink of an eye, and they seemed to be extremely close. Linya felt so fake and hypocritical. However, everyone is the same, in this kind of occasion, few words will be true, and each other is just playing.
In fact, I really don't want to talk nonsense with him.
Come to think of it, you actually have to have a smile on your face that goes against your will.
"Uncle Claire is really good at complimenting people, and Linya will be embarrassed. Let's not talk about that, Uncle Claire must be very tired from a long time, so let's go back to the castle and have a good rest. Saying that, Linya made a gesture of please.
"Wait! I really don't know how to speak...... What are you still hiding behind Rofite?" said Emperor Claire with a straight face to the prince of Rofitte behind him.
Linya's face also hardened. The guy ......
Rofitte walked out with her head bowed, walked over to her father, put her left hand on her chest, and knelt down on one knee to salute Linya. "I'm sorry, Her Royal Highness Princess Linya...... Please forgive me for my previous rudeness, I'm really sorry. β
It's actually very sincere.
Even if they were nobles of the same rank, men still had to take the initiative to salute women to show their gentlemanly demeanor and respect for women. So at this time, according to the established etiquette, it should be Linya who stretched out her right hand to kiss him to complete the kiss ceremony.
But Linya clearly had no intention of doing so.
Pouting and looking at Rofit, Linya completely wrote the three words of displeasure on her face.
"Rofit, you've disappointed me so much!" said Linya in a sad tone. After speaking, he turned his head, and a tear seemed to flash in his eyes, a pitiful and heart-wrenching look of pain and tears.
It is completely a sad indictment of a sad girl who is hurt by love, giving people infinite reverie.
Linya found that she still had a talent for acting, it was just perfect!
That guy was dumbfounded.
But don't be too happy, if it weren't for the fact that your Bright Moon Empire is still useful, I would have kicked you into the Seine River earlier.
Alas, have you learned to wear a mask to live hypocritical......ly?
But there is no way, for the sake of this empire, for the sake of the father, in order to encircle the potential ally of the Mingyue Empire, to fight against the Holy See together, now there is only one way to temporarily sacrifice his "hue".
Who told himself that he had caused such a great disaster?
"I ......" Rofitte's brain is really not bright, and he can't even speak.
It seems to be a bit of a cold feeling. Of course, the people around didn't dare to come out and talk at such a time, and only three people were left to perform.
"This ...... Niece Linya," Emperor Claire rubbed his hands and came out to play the round, "I also know that Rofitte went too far last time...... So I brought him to make amends to you this time, and I hope you can forgive him once!"
"I'm sorry, Linya, I swear I'll never do anything like that again!" said Rofitte, who hurriedly took the opportunity to swear.
Of course, you can't make things stiff here. Linya closed her eyes and took a deep breath, finally sighed and stretched out her slender hand.
Rofitte hurriedly held her hands like a baby and kissed them gently.
In fact, in Linya's heart, she had already imagined kicking dozens of feet on that little white face.
It's really hateful, and let this hateful guy take advantage of it!
"Prince Rofit, please get up!" Linya's voice became soft again.
Rofitte stood up in joy. "Thank you for forgiving me, Linya. It's wonderful!"
"What, for Uncle Claire's sake, I won't bother with you for the time being, but don't be complacent!" Linya said and pursed her cherry lips again, looking cute in anger.
That guy from Roffet was about to float away.
Looking at the guy's smug look, Linya really wanted to go up and slap him twice.
Even if it's to take advantage of them, even if you want to pretend to be with him in the future...... Socializing, even if it is a life under disguise, cannot be so lightly promised to forgive him. We must take the initiative in our own hands, advance as retreat, and retreat as advance. As long as the Bright Moon Empire can be pulled into its own camp, the Holy See will not dare to act rashly.
"Oh, my dear niece Linya, don't be angry, I'll teach this guy a good lesson on your behalf!" Claire said in a good mood.
"Well, Uncle Claire, Prince Rofit, please come with me. β
So under the leadership of Linya, the people from the Red Leaf Empire and the people from the Mingyue Empire were divided into two columns and marched together in the direction of the palace.
When he was about to arrive at Tianfeng Castle, on both sides of the red carpet in front of him, there were neatly arranged guards and knights of the royal guard, extending to the gate of the castle, and there were two columns of air knights in columns, one team of dragon eagle knights and one team of griffin knights.
"What is this?" Emperor Claire had obviously never seen such a formation, and did not understand how there could be such an army formation at the welcoming ceremony. In fact, the entire Noah's world has not yet reviewed the diplomatic etiquette of the guard of honor, which Linya learned from the earth.
"Uncle Claire, His Royal Highness Prince Rofit, please join me in reviewing the Royal Praetorian Guard Honor Guard of the Red Leaf Empire!" Linya said with a smile.
The Royal Lea garrison, lined up along the banks of the river, once again resounded with a continuous salute.
Of course, Claire wouldn't say things like "why haven't I heard of such etiquette before", otherwise wouldn't it seem very uninformed and shameless. So he nodded, "It's a great honor, Niece Linya." β
"Salute!" The knights of the Red Leaf Empire's Praetorian Guard, under the command of the captain of the Praetorian Guard, Lord Aurel, raised their right arms together and performed a standard and military salute.
Led by two knights holding high the flags of the two countries, Linya and Emperor Claire, as well as the three of Rofitte, walked in front of the knights on the red carpet, Linya hugged her arms to her chest, and as a return salute, Claire and Rofitte saw each other and returned the salute with royal courtesy.
Behind the palace, Lord Aurel and a military attache of the Bright Moon Empire slowly walked past the royal guard of honor in a salute.
Suzanne temporarily stopped the rest of her entourage. Of course, the Royal Guard of Honour is only available to members of the royal family.
The military horses are majestic, the military posture is mighty, and the military appearance is solemn.
These are the three hundred elites selected by Linya from thousands of royal guard knights, the right column is the white horse and silver armor knight of one color, and the left column is the red horse and red knight of one color, and the horses are also selected from the best war horses, horse armor and armor, and weapons are all the finest products commissioned by the dwarves.
Such an elite, Lin Yake is very satisfied.
Claire and Rofitte also had a look of surprise in their eyes. Although it is only a static display, the discipline and murderous spirit, the terrifying combat power contained in it is something that a seasoned soldier can immediately feel.
Originally, there should still be infantry, but considering that the Mingyue Empire started with hoplites, Linya didn't take the infantry out to make a fool of himself. What's more, the army of the Red Leaf Empire was originally based on cavalry, and it was also a capital that was fully qualified to show off in front of the emperor of the Bright Moon Empire.
Claire, that old fox, wouldn't fail to understand the implications. It is not only a deterrent, but also the capital to win over the Bright Moon Empire. The Red Leaf Empire does have a powerful army that can help the Bright Moon Empire realize their dreams, Strange Rock City.
Linya suddenly thought of something else. When the miracle investigation team of the Holy See arrives, can we also hold a larger-scale military parade to stop the majesty of those magic sticks?
Anyone who walks in front of such an army will feel like a mountain suffocating from the top. Since it's a guy like Claire who is used to seeing big scenes, he can't help but change color a little.
That's exactly what Linya wanted to make.
Finally, the review was completed, and the group arrived at the entrance of the castle.
"Rite over!"
It's finally over. Linya breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling Claire and Rofitte sigh quietly as well.
"Pretty good Janissary!" Claire summed up in the simplest of words.
"In the future, it will be this Praetorian Guard to protect the safety of Uncle Claire and everyone, so please rest assured. Linya said with a smile and a wink.
"Hmm. β
After sending Claire and her party to the Tianfeng Castle Dongwei Castle that was arranged for them, Linya's job was over.
"Uncle Claire, are you satisfied with this?" Linya had been trying to put on a cute look now.
"Yes, thank you very much, Linya. Claire is clearly in a good mood. This castle of Guards is located next to the main castle, with the Seine River to the east, and the environment is impeccable. The facilities in the castle are also readily available, new and luxurious.
"Uncle Claire must be tired from coming from afar. So please take a break. In the evening, please come to the welcome dinner that my father hosted for Uncle Claire and Prince Rofit. Linya saluted and prepared to leave.
Whew, it's finally over.
"Wait...... Linya. Emperor Claire looked at the people around him and said, "I have a few words I want to talk to Linya's niece in private, I wonder if Linya is free now?"
Linya blinked, not knowing what the hell he was up to.
"Rofit, you guys go out first. Emperor Claire commanded.
This is the territory of the Red Leaf Empire, even if he has any bad intentions, the guards outside can rush in at any time and chop him to pieces, what's so scary. Besides, I still have an ice shield that can be completed in six seconds.
Therefore, you can't show weakness in front of these outsiders and break your own spirit. So Linya also nodded and motioned for Suzanne and the others to retreat.
Now there are only two people left in the hall, Claire and Linya.
"Please sit down, Linya. β
Linya sat down as she said, trying her best to look like an obedient little princess.
"Does Her Highness have any questions you would like to ask, or rather, is there a feeling that we are here for a very abrupt time?" said Emperor Claire in a different tone.
Linya also noticed that he had changed his name for himself.
What was he trying to do?
"Her Majesty Claire came in person, there must be a very important national affairs to discuss with my father, right? I'm afraid this kind of military affairs is not something I can deal with, right?" Linya found the most modest answer, so as not to show her childish feelings, and not to appear too sharp.
"There is indeed something to discuss with your father. But that's not the main thing. The really most important reason is...... Doesn't Her Royal Highness want to know?"
Seeing that he hinted at this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, Linya really couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, and asked respectfully: "So, may I ask Emperor Claire, why did you come to Laia in person thousands of miles away?"
"I can't help but want to see you in person, Linya. Claire smiled slightly.
Linya felt furious in her heart, and secretly scolded this shameless guy hundreds of times.
What, when I'm a three-year-old child, I use such clumsy words to deceive my feelings? Do you want to move me? That would be a bit idiotic!
Can this ridiculous reason also be a reason?
But the tragic thing is that none of these feelings can be expressed on the face.
Linya blinked, looking at him with a look of bewilderment and bewilderment. That's probably what you want.
"I don't understand what you mean, Majesty Claire. "Linya just has to pretend, and she can't pretend to be a fool.
"Claiming to be the reincarnation of the goddess of moonlight in the human world may not be anything to others. But for our Bright Moon Empire, that kind of meaning cannot be described in words. Claire said meaningfully.
Bright Moon Empire! By the way, the name of their country is the Bright Moon Empire! Could it be that they have some deep tangled relationship with the Moonlight Goddess?
"So, Your Majesty Claire, the real purpose of your trip is to verify the identity of me, the person who calls myself the Moonlight Goddess, right?" Linya couldn't help but laugh.
"That's right. There's no reason why we shouldn't come and see for ourselves. I'm lucky to see you so soon. Claire said, closing her eyes.
"So, Majesty Claire, you've seen me with your own eyes, do you have any ideas?, I still look like an impostor?" Linya said self-deprecatingly.
"No, no!" Claire suddenly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee in front of Linya, held her right arm in front of her chest, and saluted with great respect, "Please accept the sincere greetings from Claire, and please forgive us for our rude words and deeds before, Her Royal Highness the great Goddess Gaisha!"
