Chapter 764: The Crown Prince (Part 2)

In the palace, a welcome banquet. is in full swing.

As the absolute protagonist of this banquet, Prince Xiu Senya was surrounded by everyone, like a bright moon surrounded by stars.

At the beginning, the king didn't come to the scene immediately. After the banquet started, although people were chatting, they still paid attention to the entrance.

Ten minutes after the banquet, the court musician in charge of playing the music suddenly replaced a melodious piece they were playing with a welcome piece.

Everyone, including Prince Xiu Senya, turned their eyes to the entrance, and saw the current king of the Esk Kingdom, his eldest son and youngest son, walking out together under the protection of a team of palace guards.

Prince Xiu Senya's eyes suddenly locked on the gloomy elder brother Hailancha behind his father. At the same time, Prince Hailancha also noticed and looked over. The eyes of the two collided with each other from a long distance away. Together, sparks fly.

However, soon, Prince Hailancha looked back. With a gloomy look on his face.

The Third Highness behind Prince Hailancha looked indifferently, looking around, very curious.

Prince Xiu Senya already had some ideas in his heart, so his smile became more indifferent.

"I have met my father." He hurriedly walked up to the king with a respectful attitude, which made the king very satisfied.

"Xu Senya, you don't need to be too polite." Ever since the eldest prince Hai Lancha lost his army in the naval battle, the king has already suffered a lot of blows. Looking at his second son, who is exceptionally good, he really feels complicated. However, this kind of complexity, And with some relief.

Anyway, at least he has a wonderful son.

Afterwards, the king had a few words with the nobles present. It seemed that although his face was a little haggard, he was still in good spirits.

Seeing that the king was in good health, the nobles present were naturally very happy. Few people would be willing to make troubles again after the long and prosperous life of An Sheng.

"Everyone, please be quiet first. I have something to announce at the banquet." After talking with several nobles, the king suddenly walked to the front of the crowd. Clap your hands and signal everyone to look over.

In fact, although the nobles present were all chatting, their attention was actually on the king. Although the king's voice was not loud, the huge banquet hall had already quieted down.

Only the sound of people's breathing remained.

"Today, basically all the people who are supposed to come have arrived, and it happens to be the day when Xiu Senya returns from a big victory. I think it's a perfect opportunity to announce some things today." The king smiled and said Such a remark was made.

Although his tone was very flat, it was like a magic bomb that exploded in the crowd. People have heard certain information from these seemingly plain words.

First of all, this news needs to be announced when the ministers and nobles of the royal capital gather.

Secondly, this news is a good thing, and it was announced at the banquet where Prince Xiu Senya returned from victory. Combining these three factors, the answer is definitely not simple.

Maybe……

will be……

The eyes of many nobles fell on the two princes behind the king, and Prince Hailancha became more and more sad.

Sure enough, the king quickly said: "The things I want to announce today, in fact, many of you have mentioned to me, I hope I can make some arrangements earlier, your loyalty to the kingdom, in fact, I I understand it very well in my heart, but this matter is definitely not a trivial matter. It not only requires a long period of observation, but also needs to be responsible for the future of the kingdom. I have never officially announced this matter to everyone. But today is different. I think you We all know my son Xiu Senya's character and his achievements in recent years, as a prince, he is very good. I think, as the crown prince, he will also do very well..."

Finally, when everyone present heard the word "crown prince", they were all shocked. Sure enough, they were going to announce who was the crown prince!

Although the king has not finished speaking, as long as he is not an idiot, he will know who the crown prince is. People's eyes are all on Prince Xiu Senya standing in front of the king. His heroic temperament immediately makes people feel at ease. Young people, as the heirs of the next king, they are recognized, at least, will not lead the kingdom of Esk to a road of no return.

Different from the arrogance that the eldest prince Hai Lancha occasionally shows, Prince Xiu Senya has always been a smart, elegant, modest, talented image. The outcome of the two has actually been divided a few years ago. Out.

However, if the crown prince is not officially announced for a while, things may still change.

Keeping everyone's reactions in their eyes, the king's voice was loud. The sound continued in the banquet hall: "I officially announce the appointment of Prince Xiushenya as the crown prince of King Esk. The ceremony will be officially held two weeks later. At that time, all nobles and nobles in the country, as long as they are barons or above, will come to the capital to participate. This ceremony."

After announcing this order, the king stayed for a while before leaving in a hurry, and Prince Hailancha couldn't stay in the banquet hall at such a time. With a gloomy face, he left.

The third prince stepped forward and congratulated his brother.

The protagonist of the banquet, Prince Xiu Senya, was sought after by everyone. After receiving such great news, he tried to maintain a calm and calm posture, and everyone who had contact with him praised him.

After the banquet, the invitation cards from all over the country were scattered like snowflakes.

Tertashaw also received an invitation. As a local earl and a sixteenth-level grand druid, Romon's participation in the ceremony in the capital is already a settled matter.

Because there had been speculation about the position of the crown prince in advance, when Romon received the news, he wasn't too surprised, but he did feel relieved.

Regardless of whether it will be good or bad in the future, at least in the past few years, Prince Xiu Senya, a great ally, can become the crown prince of the Kingdom of Esk, which will do more good than harm to Tertashaw and Romon himself.

"Romon, when are you planning to leave?" Nick and Farfell who knew the news said.

All they received this time were magic letters. Counting from the day after they received them, thirteen days later, the ceremony will be held.

In this case, to rush to the capital, you only need to go at a normal speed.

"I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and I can arrive in five days." Romon said.

Nick and Pharfell also knew about this kind of thing, and the nobles had to be present, so they all started to help arrange things before Romon set off.

In the early morning of the next day, Romon took the prepared boat and took some special products, and quickly headed towards the king's capital.

Five days later, Romon's boat arrived at the port outside the capital city, and took people with him to find a noble inn to stay.

The day is rest. And sent someone to inquire about the news in the capital, and also contacted a few nobles, the past few days passed quickly.

On the day of the ceremony, the entire palace was extremely lively, because it was not the succession to the throne, but the ceremony of the crown prince. There was no big celebration, but except for ordinary people, almost all officials, nobles, Businessmen, big and small, as well as senior professionals, all moved.

"Duke Miller to—"

"Lord Brett arrives at—"

"Lord Hastleton arrived at—"

In the palace, outside the place where the ceremony was held, the long corridor was covered with a festive red carpet, and many attendants stood on both sides. Whenever invited nobles came in from outside, there would be specially trained roll callers, Sing out the title and name of the other party, and at intervals, someone will follow the next person, and sing it again, and finally, it will extend to the ceremony venue.

Because of the limited land area of ​​the Esk Kingdom, the territorial resources are not very large, and there are not many great nobles in the kingdom.

Empty court nobles are not counted. Apart from the crown prince, the Duke of Avella, the kingdom of Esk has only one duke, three marquises, and twelve counties. These people are outside the royal family and are at the highest level of the kingdom. personnel.

Originally, this pattern had been maintained for many years, but just this year, there was a slight change. There had always been twelve counties, but this year, it suddenly increased to thirteen.

This extra earl is still a self-made young man, which cannot but make these original high-ranking nobles feel curious and shocked.

After learning that this new earl has another incomparably prominent identity, people's curiosity grew even stronger.

When Romon walked in from the outside, everyone's eyes fell on him.

Many unfamiliar nobles even walked up to him and started chatting with him.

These all show the fact that from now on, Romon has stepped into the highest level of the Kingdom of Esk.

Although his ranking is still at the bottom of the highest level, it is only behind the sixteen nobles.

In the entire kingdom, apart from the royal family and the sixteen nobles, Romon already had the greatest status and power.

With his age and occupation, he was naturally considered to have unlimited potential.

Romon is already at ease with these entertainments now, but no matter how long the time goes, and there are more people to chat with, he will still get tired of it.

Fortunately, at this time, the king and all members of the royal family showed up, and the ceremony officially began.

"Next, the ceremony will officially begin. Prince Xiushenya will be named the Duke of Aviana and take control of Aviana."

Under the eyes of everyone, Prince Xiu Senya won the crown prince's crown, and the king put the crown on his head with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness..." Everyone expressed their congratulations.

Romon looked at the heroic Prince Xiu Senya, thoughtful. (!)
