Aldington liked the feeling of the vulture speeding through the sky, and it made him look forward to how happy Pandora would be when she grew up with her own flying mount.

It took only three days to reach the capital city of Versailles from the remote province of Kamchatka.

At this time, there were still two days to go before the New Year's Festival, and King Edward XII did not summon him at the New Year's Banquet, as Aldington thought, but summoned him in advance.

Following the palace guards, he came all the way to the Palace of Fontainebleau, crossed the guards, and finally met Edward XII in a side hall of the palace. This was the first time Aldington had seen the King, although he had seen the King's portrait many times in the newspapers before.

"Imperial Knight Aldington Lun Iris, greetings Your Majesty." The ritual of kneeling on one knee was still observed, and Aldington had been trained by his parents at home.

"Knight, please."

"Yes."

Aldington stood up and glanced at the king in passing.

Edward XII was older than Baron Aureno, almost fifty years old, with a thick brownish-yellow beard. The jeweled crown on his head, the gold-rimmed robe on his body, and the scepter he held in his hand set off his majesty.

The tone was very mild: "Is the construction of New Red Leaf Town going well?" ”

"All the best."

"Do you feel aggrieved that I divided the fiefdom of the Iris family to the remote and bitter cold area of Lake Kronotkee?"

"No, Your Majesty, the Lake Cronokee area is full of hot springs, and the climate is milder than expected."

"Yes, I was a young chaser and once bathed in the hot springs of Lake Kronokee, and I knew it was a fertile ground to explore. The loss of the Danube province is a disgrace to the Plantagenet Kingdom, not only to your father, but also to you and me. ”

Edward XII behaved like an elder at the moment: "I can't give a better piece of land to your family, it will cause controversy among other nobles, but as long as the Iris family works hard, Lake Kronokee will give you the glory you want." ”

"My father often lamented His Majesty's love, and vowed to die for the Plantagenet Kingdom and revive the glory of the Iris family."

"I'm glad that Aureno isn't depressed, but the future will be for your generation. I like the "Haiyan" you wrote, not because of its natural blessing effect, but through this poem, I can see your tenacity and believe that this setback will make you stronger. ”

"I am also convinced that I will continue to grow stronger and restore my family's hometown!" Aldington swore that this was the attitude that a teenager should have.

"Good."

Edward XII got up and seemed to end the conversation, although he was not a good day, but as a king, he had a lot of business to deal with every day, and it was impossible to talk to a seventeen-year-old boy for a long time—and the conversation between the two was very formulaic and not very interesting.

At this time, I heard him suddenly say: "Aldington listen! ”

Aldington's heart moved, and he knelt on one knee: "My king." ”

An attendant brought a ceremonial sword, and Edward XII took it and placed the tip of the sword on Aldington's shoulder: "Aldington Lun Iris, you have become a knight, believe in the three gods, and fight for the Plantagenet, and you deserve a share of the honor of the kingdom." ”

The tip of the sword changed to one shoulder and continued to click: "In the witness of Mu, I, Edward XII, in the name of the king of the Plantagenet Kingdom, have made you the lord of freedom—knights who fight for freedom, and deserve their own territory. ”

Liberty Lords?

Hereditary knights, nominal baron rank?

The surprise came too suddenly, but Aldington quickly accepted it, and solemnly said, "My king, I will fight for freedom and protect my land. ”

Edward XII bowed: "The three gods bless you." ”

Aldington responded: "I will swear allegiance to Plantagenet!" ”

At this point, the brief sealing ceremony was over, and throwing the ceremonial sword to the attendant, Edward XII said: "Your fiefdom is divided in the Kronoki Lake area, and the Kamchatka Provincial Governor's Mansion will cooperate with you to complete the rest of the process of separation...... Go, and greet the cheers of Versailles for you. ”

Holding the coat of arms, scepter, and gown belonging to the Lord of Liberty, Alding was stunned and left the Palace of Fontainebleau with the escort, staying for only twenty minutes.

But this trip was really rewarding.

The Lordship of Liberty is a hereditary title of nobility, and the nobles of Plantagenet are not allowed to hold more than one title, but Aldington can pass on his title of Lordship of Liberty to his heirs when he inherits the status of Barony of Red Leaves. If you have a son, give it to your son, and if you don't have a son, you can give it to your relatives.

If he has two sons in his life, he can inherit the baron as the eldest son and the free lord as the second son.

In this way, the second son does not have to go the Junkers route.

"Now, when others call me me, they have to change their name, call me Captain Aldington!" He smirked at the equipment he was holding. The phantom beast knight Royce who picked him up before, has struggled for half his life, and he is just a free lord.

He wrote a poem in exchange for such a title.

When they met again, the two were on an equal footing.

……

Leaving the Château de Fontainebleau, Aldeington had not yet understood what the king meant by the words "greet the cheers of Versailles" when she was greeted by a carriage waiting on the gallop outside the palace.

"Dear Lord Aldington, the contemptible man is Cantona, editor of the King Plantagenet, and the editor-in-chief of Eric would like to invite you to the newspaper's office, and he would like to give you a banquet and, by the way, an interview for you." Cantona, the editor who jumped out of the carriage, said enthusiastically.

But soon another carriage galloped over, and a man jumped down, came to Aldington's side, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency Aldington, I am a servant of Cuckoo Castle, and I have invited you to Cuckoo Castle by order of the master of the house. "The owner of the Château of the Cuckoo is the Cuckoo of St. Florabis of Sena.

At this time, a carriage embroidered with the coat of arms of the purple finch also arrived, but it was Arnold who sent someone to pick him up.

But Oldington didn't get on all three carriages, because he got into the fourth. The carriage was unpretentious, but embroidered with a flaming flame that formed a huge basilisk with six wings. After the people in the carriage opened their mouths to invite, the three carriages took their leave.

"Pogba steward, did Lord Sacramento invite me to Serapherborough, did you say why?" Sitting in the carriage, Aldington asked the elderly servant opposite.

Pogba replied with a smile: "Your Excellency is a famous genius of Plantagenet, and your lord must want to meet the rising star of the kingdom, and you are a student of Lord Browning, and you can be regarded as half a student of the adult, so you don't have to be nervous, just relax." ”

Aldington nodded, "Understood." ”
