Chapter 618 Breaking News

King Rodney XVIII slowly sat down on the throne.

Prince Jassim, Eureko, August, Catherine and Paul, also came to sit on either side of the king, each of them having a seat.

Paul's appearance surprised many people. They were nobles who were familiar with the royal family. Most of them came from Jingyao and the royal territory, and a small number came from other territories.

Who is this young man? Why hang out with members of the royal family?

Questions like this arise in many people's minds.

"You must have gone through a lot of hardships to get to Jingyao from your respective territories. I am very excited in my heart."

Rodney XVIII spoke.

His voice is very majestic, with a powerful penetration that directly touches everyone's heart.

Although the crown on his head has just been put on, Rodney XVIII seems to have been the king for several years.

"My uncle worked hard for Aldo all his life. The Lord of Light took pity on his hard work and finally took him back into his arms."

"His life was an upright life, one of loyalty and dedication. Throughout his life, he was a role model for us all!"

"Rodney XVII left us a rich legacy, and we thank him!"

"And we will inherit it! The legacy..."

...

The new king spoke non-stop for more than an hour, mostly in memory of his uncle, and encouraged everyone to unite and build Aldo even greater.

The lengthy speech reminded Paul of listening to the principal's speech when he was at school in his previous life. If he hadn't been sitting in a conspicuous position, he might have already started to doze off.

“But we cannot linger in sorrow forever, so I want to take advantage of everyone coming to Jingyao to announce a big happy event!”

Rodney XVIII’s His eyebrows were raised, and the heavy expression on his face seemed to have been wiped away.

He turned his head to the side and said softly: "Dear Paul, dear Catherine, come here!"

Paul and Catherine stood up and came to the throne.

The king announced to the lords in the hall with a loud voice.

“Under the watchful eye of the Lord of Light, my sister, Princess Catherine Rodney, will enter into a sacred engagement with Count Paul Greiman of Alda in the northwest bay!”

"Ouch——!"

Before Rodney XVIII finished speaking, a wave of surprises sounded in the golden hall.

The king continued: "Just like countless pairs of men and women in Aldo, they will form a family and contribute to the continuation of this country..."

Before he finished speaking, the hall was already exploding.

“Did I hear correctly? It’s Princess Catherine who is engaged?”

“You heard correctly, it’s Princess Catherine!”

“That’s Princess Catherine. ! ”

"Ah, bastard, who is that boy named Paul?"

"No matter who he is, I must fight him!"

......

Lord Noble They were whispering to each other and discussing.

Some expressed surprise, while others expressed anger.

The waves of various sounds grew higher and higher.

Some of Catherine's most trusted subordinates, including Orfina, Klein, and Lester, the generals of the Knights, stood in a corner of the hall with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Her Royal Highness the Princess has already told them that she will marry far away from Northwest Bay, and asked them to stay in Jingyao and serve the new king well. But this is against their personal will.

"Ophina, Lester, and everyone, where should we go?"

Klein asked his colleagues hesitantly.

He is very confused now. If he follows the princess to the northwest bay, will the new king continue to have doubts about the princess.

If you stay and serve the new king, you will always feel awkward and panicked.

Besides, His Majesty Rodney XVIII has his own loyal staff. Will he continue to reuse them, Catherine's subordinates?

Lester was silent and did not speak. He has always had this temperament.

When Klein turned his questioning eyes to Aofina.

The beautiful lady with black hair and dark eyes snorted, "I am going to follow Your Highness to the Northwest Bay anyway, regardless of whether she agrees or not."

"Ah, you are a woman ." Klein said, "This is a convenience. The king should not have anything in mind."

"Yes, she is a woman! If she goes with your highness, no one will say anything." >
A general named Dempsey said, with a hint of viciousness in his voice.

"By the way, you can be used as a dowry for His Highness. Ha! Maybe that boy named Paul will take you as his side chamber."

Ofina was furious and immediately picked up the cup on the table next to her. Splashed water on Dempsey’s face!

“You!” Dempsey became angry and glared at Aofina.

Ofina warned him: "Demps, if you dare to say one more word, I will definitely cut out your tongue!"

"Okay!" Klein immediately separated. The two are about to fight.

He looked around. Fortunately, everyone was discussing the princess's engagement and no one noticed the incident.

"You don't even know what kind of occasion this is. If His Majesty and the Princess find out, you will definitely be punished!"

Kline warned Dempsey seriously.

"Demps, I know you are angry, but you should not take it out on your companions. Your words are too vicious!"

Demps turned his face away. Went.

——

No matter how much surprise there is, no matter how much anger and jealousy there is, the meeting with the new king will still continue.

All the lords here, some of whom were envoys sent by the lords, swore their loyalty to Rodney XVIII in turn.

Paul even saw the envoys of Archduke Giles and the envoys of Archduke Veblen. They actually represented their respective lords and offered their loyalty to the new king in full view of the public.

It seems that although Catherine's attack on the southern rebel forces was not successful, at least it made them dare not blatantly defy the royal family, and they still recognized themselves as vassals of the Kingdom of Aldo.

After accepting the allegiance of lords from various places, the next step is to accept the blessings of envoys from various countries.

The countries here are mainly some of the countries surrounding Aldo, including the Holy See, the Corner Bay countries, and the farthest one is the Gabela Empire located in the interior of the continent.

Paul noticed that although the Horn Bay countries were fighting in full swing, their envoys had just been discussing something together - most likely taking this rare opportunity to get together to prepare for the ongoing war. bargain.

But as the envoys began to bless the new king of Aldo, something big happened.

The envoy from the Principality of Eaton did not retreat immediately after the blessing.

He bowed to Rodney XVIII, "Your Majesty!"

Then he turned to face the crowd.

"And all the nobles present!"

"I am here to declare to you on the order of the Grand Duke of Eton that our country will recognize the legal status of wizards!"

This is news that is N times more exciting than the princess’s engagement just now.
