Chapter 325(1/5)
Thales never thought that when a king appeared in front of his vassals, he would get such an interesting response.
At that moment, all eyes were focused on the king.
In the solemn atmosphere of the audience, Charmaine Lombard was expressionlessly pacing with his hands behind his back.
But it seems to be exuding the solemn pressure of the king invisibly.
He frowned slightly, as if he was deliberately looking at the floor tiles of the Palace of Heroes, as if there were any noteworthy textures on them.
Behind the king, Viscount Cambida and Croache stood apart with indifferent expressions.
Not everyone recognized King Charmaine, so except for Thales, there were only two expressions left in the hall:
He looked solemn and confused.
There are also people who are both: like Risban and Nazaire, like the Grand Duchess.
"The Exeter."
Viscount Cambida stepped forward solemnly, and with a high-pitched voice and a short, strong and thick tone unique to the Northlanders, he announced solemnly to the entire hall:
"Salute to your king!"
Cambida's voice echoed in the hall.
The next second, it was as if a heavy rain suddenly fell, and the nobles who were still confused suddenly burst into uncontrollable discussions and noises!
"what happened?"
"The parricide is actually in Longxiao City?"
"How did he get in?"
"Is it arranged in advance?"
"No, look carefully at that prince..."
There are those who doubt it, there are those who are shocked, there are those who are heavy-hearted, there are those who are panic-stricken, and there are those who gnash their teeth.
But the Grand Duchess and the six earls fell into an eerie silence:
Thelma's face turned pale, and Lisban closed his eyes and said nothing.
Nazer looked at the king with a look of disbelief, then frowned and looked at Thales who was indifferent.
Kierkegaard's eyes were burning and his breathing was quickening; Hester seemed to be seeing King Charmaine for the first time, and his solemn and scrutinizing eyes were firmly fixed on the king.
Count Linner and Count Curterson were so shocked that they didn't even have the time to exchange glances.
Ian, who came from Qiyuan City, was stunned. He blinked desperately and looked at King Gongju in the center of the hall in disbelief, casting doubtful glances at Thales from time to time.
Is that what my father said...the ambitious and terrifying Duke of Black Sand?
Six years ago, the person who caused the disaster in Longxiao City?
how come?
Thales?
Doesn't that mean...
Ian's face became increasingly ugly.
At the center of the storm, King Charmaine still looked calm and behaved casually.
His left hand gently rested on the sword at his waist, not paying attention to the surrounding atmosphere.
The discussion among the nobles became louder and louder.
At this moment, the king suddenly raised his head!
The nobles who were discussing could not help but pause and hold their breath.
King Charman's gaze was filled with coldness and deathly silence, and wherever he touched, those who were caught shuddered.
It's like falling into a bottomless glacier.
After a few seconds, the king grinned, looked at the nobles in Longxiao City, and chuckled sarcastically:
"snort."
Thales took a deep breath and calmly looked at Waiya and Rolf, who looked worried. Behind Kambida and Croash, the two attendants of the Prince of Stars lowered their heads and leaned against the wall, keeping a low profile.
and came to the prince's side.
Finally, we have reached this point.
The prince thought sadly: The worst step.
He nodded to the two returning people.
At this moment, Thales suddenly felt a chill on his back!
A malicious look was directed at him.
It's a meteorite.
Nicolai was staring at Lumba, as if staring at an unforgettable enemy, the pain and hatred in his eyes were about to turn into flames and burst out.
He looked at Thales again, his eyes full of anger and dissatisfaction.
It's probably hard for Fallen Star himself to tell whether he hates King Charmaine or Thales more at this moment.
Thales sighed softly and turned his head, as if he didn't see the terrifying expression on the Fallen Star Man.
"Longxiao City, are you all deaf?"
In the hall, Viscount Cambida was very dissatisfied with the performance of the nobles. He waved his arms and shouted angrily: "In the name of the oath of co-governance..."
"To the co-owner of the Northlanders of the Western Continent, the 46th co-king of the Kingdom of Exeter and the Quegur Glacier, His Majesty Charmaine Lombard"
"salute!"
He glanced angrily across the hall.
The scene became quiet again, the vassals frowned, and many of them turned their attention to the Grand Duchess.
Thelma took a deep breath, turned her head with difficulty, and looked at King Charmaine.
It happened that the king also turned around and shot Selma with sharp eyes.
The girl's face turned pale as memories of the past came to mind.
The Earl of Risban looked at the Grand Duchess with a solemn expression, then at King Charmaine, then sighed and nodded.
"He is the king, and this is the obligation of the co-ruling oath." The regent whispered to the girl.
After getting Lisban's prompt, Thelma swallowed hard, took a few deep breaths, then lifted up her skirt, left her seat, and slowly walked down the steps.
Towards the supreme ruler of Exeter.
"Your Majesty Charman," she came to King Charman, held her heart, bowed slightly, bowed her head respectfully and said, "Welcome to Longxiao City."
"Your arrival surprised me."
Following the actions of the Grand Duchess, countless sighs sounded in the hall.
King Charmaine looked at Thelma condescendingly, looking at the emblem of the Dragon Spear in the Clouds on her clothes, and a trace of imperceptible confusion flashed in his eyes.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."
"But life is always full of surprises," he hummed with deep meaning:
"The ruler of Longxiao City."
The king turned his eyes and looked around.
The next second, all the Exeter people in the hall were rustling, whether they were noble vassals or soldiers and servants, whether they were high-ranking earls or Viscount Ian of Qiyuan City, they were either worried or not angry, but they all left.
Sit up.
Kneel down on one knee.
Salute King Exeter in the center of the hall.
Thales watched all this silently, as if he had returned to the day when King Charmaine was crowned six years ago.
Seeing the actions of the ministers, Cambida and Croash looked at each other, nodded with satisfaction, and knelt down together.
But Cambida immediately frowned: not everyone knelt down.
"Mute, stand back," Huaiya pulled Rolf back and whispered dissatisfiedly: "We are the only ones standing, it's a bit too high-profile..."
Rolf shrugged, pointed to a person in the field, frowned and made a gesture:
Without waiting for Huaiya's reaction, Viscount Cambida's unhappy voice sounded again:
"Earl Curterson."
"You're still standing and haven't saluted?"
All the eyes of the audience turned to: one of the six tallest earls in Longxiao City, Count Solon Curtson of Feilenburg, stood there with an annoyed look on his face, competing with the vassals who were kneeling around him.
Standing up, it was quite abrupt.
