The low hills, the Château de Fontainebleau, the lawn in front of the royal palace are full of all kinds of carriages.

All the nobles who lived in Versailles and the surrounding area were invited to the annual feast. In addition, members of the royal family have also rushed back from other places, as well as several legendary figures of the Plantagenet Kingdom, prophets, dragon knights, magicians, and sword masters.

Aldington arrived early, and as a junior, despite the strong limelight these days, he was still not the focus of the New Year's banquet.

As the Sacramento Dragon Knight said, talent is nothing more than vanity until it is realized.

Every century, there are a large number of sons of heaven who are crowned with the title of future dragon knights, and then end up being lost to everyone. That is, Aldington's blood is awakened, and he writes good poems, so that he can stand out from these pride of the sky and become the spokesperson of the genius of this century.

"Captain Aldington, Your Royal Highness the Prince, please." It was an old acquaintance, Chief Drucker's Guard.

He went to Butterfly Castle with Prince Agey, and "confiscated" a Drought King cricket that Aldington had given to Prince Agey. When he said goodbye, he said that when Aldington came to Versailles, he would invite Aldington to drink, but he was a servant of Prince Agey, and he had no time to entertain.

"Chief Drucker's Guard."

"Speaking of which, I heard that after you came to Versailles, you wanted to ask for leave of the palace several times to invite you to drink. However, the prince was not allowed to do so, so he either took the prince with him or stayed in the palace. ”

"I understand that you can drink at any time, and it is more important to defend Prince Aiki."

"After the New Year's feast, I'll invite you to drink!"

"This ...... Another day, Chief Drucker, I'm leaving Versailles when the feast is over. Now that my family is in disgrace, I don't have the heart to stay in Versailles to socialize, please forgive me. ”

"Ah, that's okay, indeed, you're the most promising genius of Plantagenet to become a dragon knight in a hundred years." Captain Drucker's guard laughed, "Come on, when you become a dragon knight, I can also brag to others that I once called the dragon knight a brother and sister." ”

Talking and laughing, I have come to the side hall and saw Prince Aiji.

Compared with half a year ago, Prince Eggy has changed a lot of size, like a handsome young man, but when it comes to appearance, it is still much worse than Aldington.

"Aldington, you're here!" Prince Inkie waved the maid away, then jumped up to Aldington's side and whispered, "Drucker's Drought King is so powerful that he won several rounds before he was defeated. You have come to Versailles, have you brought a new Drought King? ”

"Crickets?" Aldington shook his head, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, the homeland has been lost, and New Red Leaf Town is located in a desolate place, and it does not produce crickets. ”

"Is that so......" Prince Aki was disappointed.

Aldington smiled: "I remember that Your Highness likes poetry very much, and there is still a period of time before the New Year's Banquet begins, so we might as well talk about poetry, and I can tell Your Highness about the creation process of "Haiyan". ”

"Ah, then, Aldington, are you sure there is nothing to do now, there are many people coming to the palace today, and many of them want to see you."

"It's their business that they want to meet, but I don't want to see them, cultivating vindictiveness and studying poetry are my main tasks now, and communication is not in this category. Your Highness, when it comes to "The Petrel", I have to tell you that there are no petrels in Lake Kronotkee, but the poet, that is, I, symbolically depicts the whole process of the petrel's struggle with the storm......"

Tease the child.

Time passed in a flash, and the New Year's banquet began.

The chamberlains of the royal palace led Aldington to the banquet, which was held in the main hall, and the long tables were filled with all kinds of delicacies. The male guests were seated at a separate table with a total of seventeen chairs, with King Edward XII at the top and the Duke of Windsor at the bottom.

In the middle is the position of the nobility and legend, and Aldington is at the bottom of the middle.

To his left is the Grand Prince, and to his right is an Imperial Count.

"Aldington, it's a pleasure to meet Wang Guojie." The eldest prince smiled, as the prince of the kingdom, he also held the title of Duke of Windsor, and had been learning how to govern the country in the Duchy of Windsor, and only hurried back to the Palace of Fontainebleau from the Duchy of Windsor this morning.

"Your Royal Highness, it's a pleasure to meet you."

This is the banquet, the two just said hello briefly, and then in the king's congratulations, the New Year's banquet began. From the very beginning, the King dominated the atmosphere of the banquet, taking stock of the past year, looking forward to the year ahead, acknowledging the contributions of all present and accepting their allegiance.

Aldington also has to raise a glass once to show his loyalty.

But before he could find a chance to perform, the king called his name: "Knights have been passed down from generation to generation, and the plantagenet has also been surrounded by knights for more than five thousand years, and I am glad that there is an excellent young knight at today's annual feast, and seeing him is as if we were young." ”

Everyone's eyes were on Aldington, who was a little flustered, but under the management of his Oscar-level expression, he did not show the slightest flaw.

"One of his poems, Haiyan, has been sung in the streets and alleys, and this classic poem has been engraved on the walls of the royal palace, and, with the unanimous approval of the worshippers, "Haiyan" has been selected as this year's royal tribute poem."

Bang bang bang.

Applause rang out, and the crowd echoed the king's boast and expressed their appreciation for Aldington. Taking this opportunity, Aldington hurriedly stood up, raised his glass, and read aloud the allegiance he had prepared a long time ago, with an excited expression and a trembling tone.

It perfectly shows the youthful ambition of the young man, as well as the harmony of the loyal ministers when they meet the master.

"Sacramento and Browning and I are all old, and Plantagenet needs a new dragon knight to defend the country, young man, and I hope you won't let us down." An old man on the other side said gently, he is Plantagenet's other dragon knight, Aston Grey Finch.

The title is the Wailing Abyss Bianbo, the contract dragon beast is the ghost dragon, as a distant branch of the royal family, even Edward XII has to call him an ancestor.

The Aston Dragon Knight is estimated to be one hundred and seventy years old, and it was rumored that he was going to hang up thirty years ago, but to this day, he is still alive and well, and he is still in the southeastern frontier of the Plantagenet Kingdom, the terrifying swamp woodland known as the Wailing Abyss.

Even the year before last, he fought a big battle with the sword master of the indigenous tribe who wailed in the abyss, breaking one of his arms and fleeing in a hurry.

Therefore, for the strong, the shackles of lifespan have been loosened, and they cannot be judged by their age.

"Please rest assured, Lord Aston, I will definitely do my best to cultivate hard and strive to be able to shoulder this heavy burden." Aldington took a serious stance.
