Chapter 499: During the ceremony

The so-called difficulty is not in the aspect of "beautiful girl", but in the point of "in line with Lucia's preferences". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

What exactly is to Lucia's liking? This concept is too vague for Mephistopheles to have no clue at all, after all, aesthetics may not be able to be explained clearly even by myself, let alone outsiders, right?

Mephistopheles looked at Lucia, trying to tell from Lucia's face if she was serious or if she was testing herself with this kind of thing.

However, even Mephistopheles was unusually cunning, but she couldn't see anything in Lucia's face.

――Is it true that he is the most ancient god, and even this kind of detail is done without leakage? Knowing this, Mephistopheles, who pursued pragmatism, immediately made a choice, and he nodded.

"I see, since the agreement has been made, I will fulfill your request no matter what. ”

Of course, Mephistopheles hasn't forgotten her original purpose.

"Hopefully, when I've done my job, you'll be able to deliver on your promise today. ”

Lucia waved her hand unconcernedly.

"Got it, I won't forget it. ”

Because Lucia's tone was so casual, Mephistopheles even wondered if the monster in human form would turn his head and forget about it.

-- Probably not. Mephistopheles's thoughts are still quite optimistic and positive, and in his mind, the other party is also the oldest god, and the integrity and credibility that should be there are still very reliable...... Probably.

In any case, it has reached the point where there is no turning back, and even if it starts to feel inappropriate about it, Mephistopheles can only move on.

After a little more small talk, the two became more familiar with each other when it was time to say goodbye, at least Mephistopheles was better able to talk to Lucia after becoming familiar with Lucia's way of speaking.

Seeing Mephistopheles disappear in front of her eyes, Lucia began to think about how she was going to tell Einstein about it, this demon king was even more interesting than she had imagined.

Albert Einstein, who was nagged by Lucia, was still in the ritual.

At this time there were many people standing in the main hall, in addition to Mait-Hausen and Igor, as well as some other powerful ministers and nobles of the country, such as Count Fat Pig and Hancock King, who watched the progress of consciousness from afar.

It was said to be carried out, but basically all the cutscenes had been completed, and only the last step was not carried out, which was to grant him a cloak and a sword by the king, who was the head of the country.

This was originally a ritual used to canonize knights, and the original king of Heberis was also a knight-based state, so this ritual was directly applied to the canonization of nobles, not only to commemorate, but also to let the successors understand what the state is fundamental.

There was no king in Heberis, so the soon-to-be-crowned princess took over the king's duties. Originally, this was a matter of course, but in practice, it felt very weird.

Albert Einstein and Charlotte, who are the protagonists of the ceremony, have indifferent smiles on their faces, although they are laughing, but they do not feel a little serious, and the attitude of not caring about themselves will even make people mistakenly think that it is just a leisurely tea party.

Soon, when it came to the final steps, Einstein stood quietly in the main hall, waiting for the princess to speak.

Charlotte's gaze swept over everyone, and she asked only after confirming everyone's expressions.

"In this way, Einstein-Leviathan will become a new aristocracy, who has any objections?"

It's a cutscene, it's not really asking, it's just trying to create such an atmosphere.

however

"It's not an objection. ”

A voice that wasn't supposed to be there appeared.

It was Igor as a witness. No one knew what the old general of the King's faction was up to, but it was certain that it would not be a good thing for him to be in trouble at such a time.

Igor stepped forward, and he saluted Charlotte.

"I think it's worth teaching our new duke a bit of the rules before the ceremony is done. ”

In other words, Igor wanted to give Einstein a dismount.

"Leviathanqing has always lived as a commoner before, right? I don't care how presumptuous you were as a commoner, but since you have become a nobleman, of course you have to abide by the rules of the noble. ”

Igor seemed to have a point, but most of the nobles kept the idea that 'this guy is not sick in his brain', especially Count Fat Pig, who wanted to escape from this hall.

Einstein's knighthood was not deliberately hidden, and almost everyone knew that it was a transaction, and although the content of the transaction was not made public, most people could guess a little.

In other words, from the perspective of transactions alone, Igor's current approach can basically be regarded as unilaterally tearing up the contract. Not to mention how this kind of behavior is, for nobles and powerful ministers, there are more important issues before that.

The one who can trade the dukedom as a bargaining chip will definitely not be Igor as a duke, but will only be the king of Heberis, so Igor's questioning of this transaction, does it mean that this old general has finally shown his long-hidden fangs in the turmoil of royal power?

Igor's actions were too huge, but the nobles and ministers present were silent and continued to wait and see.

And Igor obviously mistook this strange silence as a tacit acquiescence, so he was more confident, he looked at Einstein unceremoniously, and said it in his mouth.

"It's not that I want to make trouble for you on purpose, but for your own good, after all, after becoming a nobleman, many things will be different from before. ”

Igor was very proud when he said this, he did not hide the contempt in his eyes, the contempt for Einstein - no matter how powerful you are, you can't completely transcend the rules, and those who face the rules of the mentally handicapped can only choose to submit; and the contempt for other nobles - he is the leader of the king's faction, one of the two most powerful nobles at the moment, whether it is full strength or seniority, no one can surpass such a self.

Charlotte looked at Igor with interest, a little amused. This old man, who thinks very highly of himself, is not very good at this kind of scheming game, and the reason why he can stand at the top of the king's faction is because of merit and the need for a figure who can lead the king's faction.

But from the present point of view, the old nobleman seemed to have misunderstood something, and after losing his restraint, something in his heart that should have been suppressed began to swell unscrupulously, like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger on the slope. (To be continued.) )
