Chapter 123: Imperial Capital Greeting (3)
This is the first time that Nikkage has visited the palace.
The center of power in the Purple Kite Empire, the most honorable place in the empire, and the place where Peng Xiu lived when he was a child.
Most of the power in the world is high, and this is no exception. The towering main castle and the high throne all require people to look up with their necks up, or humble themselves with their heads bowed.
The Knight of the Sun Shadow knelt in the crowd to accept the king's meeting. He lowered his head, absentmindedly listened to the king's honorable politeness above, and slowly thought about the things that greeted the road, and there was always a thrilling arrival in the palace in the second half. Those scenes seem to have been sung almost, and the end is nearing this point, and the ending of Morton and Carmel seems to be visible, but what about Althea.
After the ceremony, everyone got up, and the idlers retreated. Most people need to slowly step back along this path, turn around, and leave. They are not qualified to stand in the same room with the emperor, listening to the conversation between the king and those nobles, and only a few people can remain.
Sunshadow silently wanted to retreat. He didn't think about whether he had qualifications or not, but at this time he just wanted to step back and didn't want to participate in such a boring high-level polite conference.
Peng Xiu acquiesced to the retreat of the Sun Shadow, if he wouldn't let him leave on weekdays, even such a polite meeting is a kind of battlefield, and if you observe it carefully, you can find interesting and usable places. But now he just wants him to have a good rest, and until those old illnesses are completely recovered, he hopes that he can recuperate well, and not add new marks, even if it is an accidental scratch.
Seeing that Peng Xiu just glanced at him and didn't speak, Riying immediately understood what Peng Xiu meant, and immediately followed the crowd unscrupulously and unscrupulously, ignoring the envious eyes of Melson who had already seen him leave in the hall. Just before his right foot was about to step out of the huge temple door, he felt a hot gaze behind him. He quickly stepped up.
"Hyunei, where are you going?" was Yulia's soft voice, as if she could hear innocence.
The moment Yulia stepped into the main hall, she was already the center of the hall, the focus of everyone, even the king was a foil, the highest level of etiquette that came to welcome her arrival. Yulia's every move was observed and considered by many nobles and ministers of the empire, but at the moment of Yulia's inquiry, the focus shifted to the door of the main hall. Who had taken the attention of this new and beautiful saint, and even the monarch who was still standing in the highest power in the country, and the great prince who was introducing himself to him with great courtesy. For a moment, everyone was filled with curiosity.
But the sound and attention were a bit like a lightning strike to the Sunshadow. He could only put his feet back into the temple, which had already stepped out of the temple, and bowed in reply. "Your Majesty is obeying Your Majesty's will and consciously retreating. β
"Hey, if I'm not mistaken, isn't the badge on His Royal Highness Peng Xiu's neck, and does anyone who holds this kind of coat of arms have to retire?" asked Yulia again, pretending to be naΓ―ve.
Of course, you don't have to step down, no one will question it, but you can also step down, no one will question it, and the most important thing is that no one will take the symbol of power and put it on the table to question. What's more, the sun shadow has also arrived at Your Majesty.
"I didn't expect the Holy Maiden Yulia to know my emblem, which really surprised me, it seems that His Highness has done a lot of work before coming down...... I told him to step down. He had just been injured in that attack, and I told him to go down and rest. Peng Xiu's hearty voice drew people's attention back, a highness who is considerate of his subordinates is also normal and charming.
"By the way, Lord Sunshadow was injured in the attack, how did I forget. I couldn't get enough of it. Yulia said with a worried look, and then said something even more jaw-dropping. "Your Majesty, I want to take care of Lord Sunshadow. β
The king was also confused, this holy woman was still holy and immaculate just now, and she stood beside her and saluted herself, and she did have a good feeling of seeing the goddess, and at this time she helped him to sit down. If you say turn around, you will turn around, and if you say that you will become a little girl, you will become a little girl. This is above the main hall, how can the politeness begin, how can he pay attention to the little people he doesn't know at all, is this to leave them a large group of people here, and follow the little young man away?
"This is what subordinates should do, let Her Highness the Holy Maiden Yulia bother. What's more, this is only a minor injury, and I don't need to bother Her Highness the Holy Maiden at all. Sunshadow knelt down again, stretched out her injured hand, and replied with a formal salute.
At this time, Sunshadow was also answering Yulia's nonsensical request for the king, and had to be respectful. But at the same time, the doubts in his heart were very deep, why this noble saint who suddenly appeared was so interested in him, and he did not know anything about this holy woman.
"She is worthy of being the highest-ranking Yulia Holy Maiden of the Holy Court of Light, and she cares about a domestic servant with such a kind heart. I don't think he's a big deal, so the Holy Maiden Yulia doesn't have to worry about it. The one who spoke was the eldest prince who was about to introduce himself to Yulia just now, and he squinted and looked at the sun shadow who was kneeling at the gate in the distance with disdain and said.
"Your Excellency Sunshadow is not a servant of His Highness Peng Xiu. Yulia tilted her head to look at Peng Xiu.
Peng Xiu thought that this woman wanted to settle the matter with her that he threw away her ribbon, only to hear Yulia continue. His Royal Highness Peng Xiu cared very much for His Excellency Sun Shadow, and personally bandaged his hands with the handkerchief in his arms. This is not something to be done to domestic servants. That's right, His Highness Peng Xiu. β
Everyone looked at Sunshadow's hand, and there was a blue handkerchief tied to it, although it was not very special, but Yulia had mentioned that she wanted to come like this.
"The attention of the Holy Maiden Yulia to my every move made me feel a little overwhelmed. I don't know if I should have understood, Her Excellency the Holy Maiden is interested in befriending me, or if Her Highness is complaining about the conflict between me and His Excellency Morton. If it's the former, I'm naturally overjoyed, and if it's the latter, then I'm really very sad. At that time, I bandaged the Shadow with my handkerchief, but in exchange for the white silk scarf of Her Highness the Holy Maiden, it was too chaotic for me to catch it. I'm still regretting it. β
Peng Xiu's reply also made people vomit blood, what kind of god is this, how to welcome the polite conference, and it has become a somewhat weird emotional drama. Seeing that His Royal Highness, who is usually very terrible, suddenly took the emotional route, everyone said that they had goosebumps.
"Ahem......" Even the emperor couldn't stand it, and was finally ready to come forward to guide the scene back on track. "I don't think you're seriously injured that little guy, since the Holy Maiden Yulia cares about you so much, you can stay for a while. β
The Emperor said it quite mildly, but he could clearly see the badge on the neck of the Sun Shadow, the meaning of that badge was a coat of arms that could only be worn by those who could be guarded by Peng Xiu and Lance at the same time, could it be a domestic servant with a coat of arms? What's more, there is another thing that others don't know, but he knows, that is, the handkerchief wrapped in the young man's hand, which was a special handkerchief made by Peng Xiu's mother back then, and he also had an identical piece there. Since it is a person who is of great significance to Peng Xiu, no matter who it is, whether it is male or female, it always has to sell a thin piece of noodles.
Sunkage was surprised by the Emperor's amiability, a little different from the Emperor he knew, but immediately saluted in response.
"As for Hugh, what nonsense are you talking about. Don't mention the matter between you and Morton today, let's discuss it another day. Today, I will wash the dust for the arrival of the Holy Maiden Yulia. After saying that, he looked at Yulia again. "The Holy Maiden Yulia has been fortunate all the way from the Holy Court, I wonder if His Excellency the Pope is okay, do you have any words to bring?"
The Emperor's words, in addition to bringing everything into the right conversation, also asked the questions that people were most concerned about.
Yulia's arrival actually made everyone full of doubts, even if the mission was sent for Morton, there was no need for the leader of the mission to choose this candidate saintess who was famous in the mainland to come, it was completely overkill. But since she came, there were only two possibilities, the first might be that the Holy Court of Light intended to completely defend Morton, so that it would rule out Yulia's existence several times, although this possibility is very small, but it is not impossible. The second may be that the Pope has something else important to communicate. All of them felt that this was a high possibility. At this time, the emperor directly asked the doubts in his heart.
"All is well with Your Crown, let me only greet you, Your Majesty, and may the light of the Goddess of Light shine for you and the kingdom. Yulia's style of painting changed again, and she returned to her elegant and holy appearance, and prayed in the direction of the Holy Court of Light. Some of the Cult of Light who were still left in the main hall immediately echoed, knelt down in the direction of the Holy Court of Light, and began to bow and pray.
This collective ritual instantly aroused Nikkage's disgust and uncontrollable coldness. His eyes flashed with indelible hatred.
The emperor and the others also frowned, and finally continued to speak. "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your love for me and for the Kingdom. β
Yulia's timely convergence of cooperation. She also understood the doubts of these people about her arrival, but in fact, she didn't understand it too well. But after all, it's always freer here than in the Holy Court of Light, not to mention that there are interesting people here for her to observe.
So Yulia smiled and made up a message for them, so that these people could be reassured and that she could continue to play here.
"His Majesty felt that I lacked experience and asked me to go out and have fun. I heard that the Purple Kite Empire is a good place for individuals to excel, and I proposed to the crown to come, and the crown agreed. Of course, His Majesty also asked me to see how His Excellency Morton was doing, but His Majesty did not know anything else. What happened today, if this is the case, will inevitably make His Majesty sad. β
