Chapter 107: David's Family Crest
"I am also honored to meet Her Royal Highness."
David's reply was impeccable, and the etiquette of last night's emergency teaching was also flawless, judging by his performance at this time, he was definitely a very authentic aristocratic elite.
At the same time, David showed enough respect to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and also kept a proper distance, including the initial greetings, he did not take the initiative to communicate with Her Royal Highness the Princess, but simply replied to Her Royal Highness's question.
Ebelson looked at David, and felt more convinced of his previous judgment, and felt that Baron David-Glamorgan would definitely be a perfect example of how to rejuvenate the commoners of the kingdom and deter those who were becoming less obedient.
"Presumably Baron Glamorgan is also hungry, stay in the palace and finish eating before leaving!"
Even His Majesty the King is not allowed to eat before the important ceremony, and he must also go hungry until the end of the ceremony.
In this respect, letting the nobles go just after the ceremony is over is the greatest gift from His Majesty the King to the nobles.
And Ebelson originally just wanted to say a few words to David, so he let the newly promoted Winter Baron leave, but he didn't expect to delay a little longer, and he appreciated David more and more in his heart, so he simply left David to dine in the palace.
His Majesty the King casually ordered, and some attendants hurried to make various arrangements, in addition to reminding the kitchen to hurry up and prepare food for His Majesty, but also to remind the cook to prepare an extra one for the newly promoted Baron.
David had no reason to refuse, and immediately went back to eat, and it was the same when he ate in the palace.
What he didn't expect was that there were some unexpected benefits to staying in the palace.
"Go and inform the ceremonial officers that the family crest designed by Baron Glamorgan will be sent later, and let Baron Glamorgan decide which one to use himself."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After the knight left with His Majesty's order, David was still in a state of doubt, but it was Sophia who came with him to explain to David, so that David understood what was going on.
Although the ceremony of being named Baron Glamorgan has ended, it does not mean that the new Baron Glamorgan can go directly back to his territory.
What awaits him is a series of things that need to be done, the first of which is to complete a series of basic information as a nobleman in the royal city.
One of them is to determine the family crest of the Glamorgan family!
Because the design of the family crest is to be included in the kingdom archives so that it can be easily consulted at any time, this must be done as soon as possible.
The design of the family crest can be designed by yourself, of course, the family crest you designed does not comply with the regulations, and it will be rejected when you send it; Or directly ask the ceremonial officer of the kingdom to help design it, and the ceremonial officer will generally design the family crest according to various information about the territory and lord, and then the new nobles will decide whether to use it.
Both options are acceptable, but the former requires the new nobles themselves to have some knowledge of the requirements for the design of the family crest, and this can be consulted by the ceremonial officer.
The second is more convenient and trouble-free, but you need some 'face' or 'gold', the bigger the face, the more gold, the higher the efficiency of the etiquette officer, maybe you ask the etiquette officer to help in the morning, and in the afternoon the other party will come up with several designs that meet the requirements, and you will choose which one to use.
If the face is not big enough and the gold is not enough, even if you invite someone, it will drag on for a long time, and the final product may not meet your wishes.
But David didn't have to worry about it, His Majesty's words directly saved David a lot of trouble, and he only ate a meal for a while, and was talking to His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Princess, and His Majesty's personal guard knight came to their dining place with a ceremonial officer - the semi-open-air hall used to rest next to the back garden.
"Your Majesty, the family coat of arms for Baron Glamorgan is ready."
An official dressed in the uniform of a ceremonial officer, holding a stack of cardboard in his hand, also held the cardboard to his chest when he reported to His Majesty Ebelson, so that His Majesty the King, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Baron David Gramorgan could read the patterns drawn on the cardboard.
"Baron Glamorgan, see if any of these patterns you like?"
After Davy answered, he carefully looked at the cardboard in the hostess's hand, and the hostess also faced David at the right time, so that David could see more clearly.
There are not many patterns on the cardboard held by the ceremonial officer at this time, except for a blue shield pattern, three trees are drawn on the top of the shield, and there is a white horizontal stripe like lightning under the tree, and there is a crown pattern above the shield, which means that the family is directly loyal to His Majesty.
As David watched, the ceremonial officer explained in a clear, loud voice why it was designed: Baron Glamorgan's domain was a newly opened territory, and because it was not a land captured or feuded, it did not have any weapon symbols, but chose the representative terrain around Winter Town, such as forests and rivers.
After noticing that Baron Glamorgan was not very satisfied with the first picture, the ceremonial officer decisively changed to the next one: the pattern was still a shield with a crown on a blue background, but there was an additional white vertical stripe in the middle that ran through the whole map, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, according to the ceremonial officer, which symbolized the peak in the distance of Winter Town......
Glancing at David's expression, the ceremonial officer continued to change the picture......
After introducing several pictures in a row, David found that these hostesses were really not messing around, and in such a short time, the hostesses had figured out all the elements around Winter Town.
In addition to mountains, forests, and rivers, the wolf's head appears on the back motif, and the unique species of the northern giant wolf is also recorded in the documents and has not been ignored by these ceremonial officials.
In the end, David chose a blue background, pure white without any details, a huge side wolf head pattern, and a shield with a crown as the family crest, which looks simple and straightforward, and the wolf head looks handsome.
The trees, the rivers and so on are not domineering enough, and they don't show his inner ambition at all.
Once the family coat of arms was determined, the ceremonial officers were to report the family coat of arms to the civil officials in charge of archival records, completing the record of the basic information of the Baron de Gramorgan's family.
"Isn't it, there are many similar problems to be solved in the future?"
After the ceremonial officer had breathed a sigh of relief and left, David finally couldn't help but ask, and his expression made Princess Sophia and Ebelson chuckle.
"Baron Glamorgan, this is indeed just the beginning, and there are many more things that you need to take care of later." Ebertson chatted with David a few more words, and after eating all the food on the table, reminded David that he could go to the ceremonial department: "According to the laws of the Kingdom of Tiran, new nobles must be taught by the ceremonial officer appointed by the kingdom for more than one year. ”
"I see, Your Majesty."
Although he kept chatting with the king and the princess, and during the process, he had to choose a family crest, so that he could not eat peacefully this meal, but he ate some things into his stomach, and his hunger was alleviated.
Besides, you can leave and eat when you get hungry when you go back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, Princess Sophia next to him also stood up: "Father, let me take Baron Glamorgan to the ceremonial officer!" ”
"......" Eberson muttered for a few seconds, and finally nodded in agreement: "Go early and come back early!" ”
"Yes, father." Sophia turned around happily and beckoned to David beside her: "Follow me, I'll take you to the ceremonial officer." ”
David bowed to His Majesty and said goodbye, a little unsure of what His Majesty thought?
Obviously, he didn't want to get close to his daughter before, why did he suddenly change his mind? Could it be that this is the so-called unpredictable power of heaven? Should I learn to learn?
Follow the energetic young princess out of the back garden, then bypass the side of the main hall where the canonization ceremony took place and return to the square of the main hall, then turn right and enter a huge building.
Before entering this building, David didn't think there was anything difficult to find in this etiquette department, but when he followed Princess Sophia around for a while, he found that this place was 'really hard to find'.
"How? Isn't it hard to find? ”
"yes!" David nodded violently: "Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess led the way." ”
"By the way, that northern giant wolf, is it really huge?" When the ceremonial officer introduced the specialties around Rinwinter Town, he introduced the giant wolf of the north.
"Yes, it's huge, and it can even be used as a mount." David originally wanted to catch a few of them himself to see if they could be domesticated into mounts, but now that he chose the family crest with the wolf's head pattern, he wanted to catch them even more.
"Sounds like a lot of fun! Why don't you catch one for me? ”
"Oh, Your Highness Princess, I'm afraid that thing is not for you."
"Tsk, isn't it just a wolf?" Princess Sophia looked angry and felt that she was being underestimated: "Is Winter Town really cold?" ”
"Yes, it's very cold, much colder than the winter at Irontree Castle, and the winter is very long." David briefly described the winter in Lower Winter Town, and when she heard that it was white and no other colors could be seen in winter, the princess was intrigued.
"It's a pity, if only my father had made Winter Town my domain, so I could go and see it for myself."
“……”
David didn't answer, it's not easy to answer, it feels like it's a problem no matter what you say, or it's best to pretend to be dumb.
At this moment, Princess Sophia stopped, pointed to the open double door next to her, and introduced: "This is the ceremonial department of the Kingdom of Tiran, my mission is complete, I am very happy to chat with you, I hope to see you again, Baron Glamorgan." ”
"Thank you very much for your help, Your Highness Princess."
David thanked him, and then calmly watched as Her Royal Highness walked out of the building through the gate less than three meters in front of him, and returned to the square where they had come.
