- The banquet hall of the Louis Empire Royal Palace was still brightly lit, and a large dance was still being held.
The theme of today¡¯s Royal Banquet of the Louis Empire is to celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony for Pamir, the eldest son of the Earl of Navia.
The Scandinavian family to which the Earl of Navia belongs is nothing more than a second-rate family in the Louis Empire.
The highest noble title of the family is earl. Among all the nobles in the Louis Empire, the fiefdom is not big or small, but it is barely at the middle level. None of the family members hold important positions in the center of the Louis Empire.
Not to mention comparing with the Darcy family, many of the nobles who came to the banquet can leave the Scandinavian family far behind in terms of the overall strength of their own family.
?Borrow the empire¡¯s royal banquet hall in the Imperial Palace to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the eldest son of his family.
Such a thing, no matter in any empire, requires a lot of face, even in a country like Louis, because such behavior can definitely be possessed by a noble family like the Darcy family, which is at the forefront of the empire. privilege.
However, today, in the Royal Banquet Hall of the Louis Empire, Count Navia, the contemporary patriarch of the Scandinavian family, not only held a coming-of-age ceremony for his eldest son, but also did so at the strong request of Charles III.
The reason is not because the Scandinavian family is about to become the upstart of the Louis Empire, nor is it because the patriarch of the Scandinavian family, Count Navia, has great face, but because of the persistence of Charles III, or in other words, because of Charles III. The third generation has his own way.
Since he was frightened awake by the Knights of Thorns in his dream a few days ago, and learned that the Knights of Thorns have been making great progress after entering the Louis Empire, Charles III suddenly realized the importance of the Louis Border Guards.
And today¡¯s banquet is the direct result of this awareness.
Because although no member of the Scan family holds an important position in the center of power in Louis, the current Earl Gilbert of the Louis Border Guards happened to be from the Scan family. If we really talk about it, Earl Gilbert is still the distant Earl of Navia. cousin.
So, Charles III held this banquet for the Scandinavian family in the royal banquet hall.
It has to be said that Charles III was able to do this even when the Knights of Thorns invaded and he was already aware of the importance of the border guards, simply because he really couldn't let go of his unique hobby of hosting banquets.
????????????????????????????? This kind of processing method really has a rich flavor of Louis' unique luxury.
However, the atmosphere of this banquet was not good, or to be precise, the current atmosphere was not good.
These nobles of Louis have long been immune to Charles III's unusual thinking ability and numerous reasons for banquets.
Although the protagonist of this banquet is a second-rate family that I have never paid attention to before, and he is a cautious young man who is full of rusticity and stupidity, but it is just a matter of changing into a set of clothes that have been prepared long ago. I won't comment on the theme of this party.
When facing the Earl of Navia, he gave an incomprehensible compliment; when facing Pamir, he gave every word of insincere praise
The nobles of Louis have long since perfected their ability to talk nonsense, or tell lies with their eyes wide open, to the point where they are as natural as eating and drinking. As long as the father and son of the Scandinavian family are willing to listen to such kind words for free, Louis The nobles can even talk about it until dawn without repeating the same thing.
Who cares about this? After everyone has finished talking, just continue drinking and dancing. What is the difference from a normal dance? It just changes the partner.
What's more, the Scandinavian Earl of Navia is a bit silly. While laughing and accepting the compliments of the Louis nobles, he kept emphasizing that Earl Gilbert was his dearest brother.
Facing such silly nobles, Louis¡¯ nobles all smiled knowingly.
It is better for a nobleman to be stupid than to be shrewd and sophisticated. At least the nobles of the Louis Empire do not have to worry about the Scandinavian family, which will replace their own family's position in the Louis Empire in the future.
The banquet was as lively and luxurious as ever, until Charles III heard the news.
After hearing the news dictated by the waiter, Charles III no longer had the gentle smile facing the Earl of Navia. His eyes were blank and he was stunned. He didn't even know that the wine in his hand had spilled on his gorgeous dress.
Charles III¡¯s sluggishness was like an out-of-place ice cube, exuding endless freezing air, quickly cooling down the lively atmosphere in the banquet hall.
Until the end, the court musicians seemed to feel the coldness of Charles III, and reduced the noisy music in their hands to a faint level.
"Your Majesty"
The Earl of Navia of the Scandinavian family stood opposite Charles III and watched helplessly as Charles III changed from a gentle emperor to a cold piece of ice. He really didn't know what was going on. He relied on Charles III. The closeness and support I showed today, and I asked tentatively, but I didn't expect that I would receive unprecedented treatment.
"Snapped¡¡"
The metal wine glass in the hand of Charles III quickly deformed on the head of the Earl of Navia!
The wine in the glass was all over Count Sardinia's head and face, and stains quickly appeared on the dress carefully prepared by the Scandinavian patriarch.
The fine wine that has been stored in the Porto region for more than fifty years has a deep color. On the pure white dress, under the illumination of the 312 magic lighting torches in the Royal Banquet Hall, it is as dazzling as blood!
"Count of Scandinavia, I think you can, on behalf of your brother, Count Gilbert, the supreme commander of the Louis Empire's border guards, answer a small question for me: What kind of situation can it be? Let a knight group of more than 500 people continuously capture and destroy twenty-seven military fortresses of my Louis Empire in just nine days?"
"Is the Knights of Thorns too powerful, so powerful that no one in my Louis Empire can stop me? Or is it that the border guards of my Louis Empire, under the command of your dearest brother, are too incompetent!?"
The words of Charles III are like the north wind blowing in the middle of winter, cold and inescapable!
The Earl of Navia, who was not sure whether he was stunned by Charles III's sudden move or frightened by the content of Charles III's words, stood there blankly, letting the wine drip from his face and hair. Falling.
Some dripped on the marble in the banquet hall, and some dripped on himself. Whether it dripped on the marble or on his body, it was like blood, frozen by the biting cold, and condensed into a ball. !
As for the protagonist of today¡¯s banquet, Pamir, the eldest son of the Scandinavian family, was already frightened by this unexpected situation and could only stand there shivering.
The nobles of the Louis Empire were silent.
Even though there was a piece of music in their ears that they were very familiar with and loved, no one danced. Some nobles even secretly placed the wine glasses in their hands on the table next to them, moving quickly, like a A warrior with superb fighting spirit.
Everyone is looking at their emperor.
Although Charles III loved banquets and dances to a crazy level, and although his thinking was sometimes difficult to understand, none of these things could change the fact that he was the emperor of the Louis Empire, and he was the emperor who held the power of life and death. !
In a sense, Charles III can decide all the life, death and power present with one word!
No one is willing to challenge this conclusion, not even the Darcy family.
Everyone is looking at Charles III, waiting, waiting for Charles III's decision, either punishment or tolerance.
At this moment, another waiter appeared.
At first, he was startled by the solemn atmosphere in the banquet hall, but he still mustered up the courage and walked towards Charles III. Under the puzzled eyes of noble Louis, and under the gaze of Charles III, who seemed to be able to eat people alive, he told his news Told Charles III.
A burst of laughter rang out in the banquet hall.
The voice of Charles III, amidst the panic of the nobles of the Louis Empire and the accompaniment of the court musicians, seemed so crazy and sad.
"The Knights of Thorns, on July 20, nine hundred and ninety-two years in the true divine calendar, attacked the city of Gavia and burned it to the ground The garrison of Gavia City, from Count Gilbert on down, totaled 6,000 men. ,completely annihilated!"
After Charles III finished speaking, regardless of the exclamations and cries of noble Louis, he looked at the Earl of Navia steadily, calmly making him tremble, and then said in a tone of sorrow that was greater than death:
"Count Navia, you should be grateful that there is another brave family member of the Scandinavian family. At least Gilbert died in the battle at the gate of Gavia"
Turning around suddenly, Charles III looked stern.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
In a short period of time, the Royal Banquet Hall of Louis Empire was completely empty.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The palace attendants looked at their emperor and master from a distance.
When the nobles of Louis fled the banquet hall in fear, many people did not notice that this banquet was the first banquet to end on bad terms since Charles III came to the throne. Even though 13,000 Louis people died in Charles III In the empire, Louis' nobles were not kicked out of Louis' "Glory" banquet hall by Charles III.
This kind of treatment is definitely the first time.
The three hundred and twelve magic lighting torches are still burning loyally to their duties. The marbles from Dragon Island in the East China Sea are still loyally emitting bits of brilliance. The royal banquet hall of the Louis Empire is still brightly lit and magnificent, but it lacks festive and lively music. Without the polite and well-dressed Louis nobles, it seemed so deserted.
Charles III stood alone in this hall that could accommodate a thousand people. There was no doubt that he was lonely.
"Could it be thatthe Knights of Thorns are really invincible"
The low soliloquy continued to echo in the hall. The more it reverberated, the louder the sound became. In the end, a sentence was repeated in the royal banquet hall of the Louis Empire.
"unbeatable¡¡"
"unbeatable¡¡"
"The thorn flower is invincible!
Deafening and enlightening!
