There were no bands and no silks in front of the gates of Hofburg Palace, as if there was no welcome ceremony at all. But then again, the nobles standing next to the road constituted the highest-end welcome ceremony.

When he arrived at the gate, Eugen was still riding on the horse, and his horse's hooves stepped on the red carpet and walked inward. West was riding a horse with him, responsible for guiding Eugen.

The people standing on both sides of the road are either rich or noble, with the largest number of barons, and there are also a smaller number of viscounts. In addition, they also bring family, friends, etc.

Eugen seemed a little arrogant when he didn't dismount, but this was one of the rules.

He rode a horse through the crowd in order to let other nobles know Eugen, who was about to receive the title, and also let Eugen be recognized by the aristocratic circle.

Riding on a horse is naturally to let those people see his appearance better.

Perhaps because of his outfit, Eugen looked quite handsome at this moment. His clear pupils looked straight ahead, his nose bridge was high, and his lips slightly curled. His short golden hair was spread out, and his end was slightly curly. He looked like he had already been awarded a title last year, and he could be called a young and promising noble young man.

The young women who were originally playing in the crowd, when they saw Eugen coming, they calmed down and looked at Eugen sitting on the horse curiously.

A faint blush appeared on his white cheeks, as if he was a little shy, but he was still stubborn and stared at Eugen with his big eyes.

Eugen walked past, smiling and nodding to the crowds around him. He found that there were young and beautiful young girls in the crowd. He even deliberately looked at them twice, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

In just a moment, I don’t know how many good girls fell into the bright smile of unscrupulous Eugen. However, if they knew what Eugen was thinking, they would be shocked, and then looked at Eugen with contempt and said, “Diaosi~”

"Wow, so many beautiful girls. Wahaha, it's good to sit on a high place, I see my breasts! I see my breasts...Wow."

Eugen roared excitedly in his heart as he walked. If Butler West hadn't been staring at him, he might not be able to control himself and reveal his vulgar nature.

Finally, Eugen and West rode to the steps in front of the palace. Two palace guards walked up quickly, took the reins of the horse and took the horse, and then they turned over and got off the horse.

On the next road, West was not qualified to continue to accompany Eugen, so Eugen had to go in by himself.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Eugen's legs were still shaking slightly when he stepped on the steps. There were nobles standing on both sides of the steps, looking at Eugen with a smile. Eugen smiled and then raised his chest and walked upwards.

Stepping onto the steps and passing through the nobles at the entrance of the palace, Eugen walked into the palace.

There were two rows of nobles standing on both sides of the palace. At the lowest of the palace were the ranks of count, followed by the marquis, dukes, and princes.

However, the number of people is very small. Most of these big men are too busy, and many people don’t have time to attend the ceremony of enfeoffment. These people in the palace either live nearby or have titles or have no fiefs.

As soon as he entered the palace, Eugen saw Prince Eugen, sitting on the left position in the innermost position. On the right position opposite Prince Eugen, there was a bald middle-aged man sitting, looking around fifty.

Among these two people, the highest seat is the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, His Majesty Charles VI.

Charles VI was nearly fifty years old, but the hair and beard on his head were completely white, very sparse and messy, and most of his teeth had fallen off. The skin on his face was as rough as the decayed bark, and there was no glory in his turbid eyes.

If such an old man put on ragged clothes and threw them into the market to pretend to be a beggar, he would have no sense of incongruity. Only through his luxurious clothes and the golden crown on his head can he see some of the majestic demeanor that belongs to the king.

In contrast, Prince Eugen, who was sitting next to him, was full of energy and majestic sitting posture, looking more like an emperor.

Even though he was surprised, Eugen did not dare to express it. He walked two steps forward and half kneeled on the ground and saluted Charles VI: "Eugen Habsburg, see the respected Emperor of the Empire, His Majesty Charles VI."

The imperial emperor sitting on the throne seemed to be dozing off and was disturbed by surprise. He looked around in panic, and his mouth also made a whimper of unknown meaning.

After a while, he seemed to remember his situation. Finally came to his senses and said, "Get up, get up."

The emperor's voice was also vague and lacked energy. It sounded like the whimpering sound of a wild cat before his death. Eugen hesitated for a moment before understanding the emperor's meaning, and then stood up.

At this moment, he finally understood the reason for the decline of the Holy Roman Empire. The situations that Prince Eugen and he said before were going to leave and no successors were there, etc., but the real reason was in the emperor in front of him.

He finally remembered a passage he had read by chance: The real reason for the decline of the Habsburg family was only the extremely wrong system of in-kin marriage that they adopted in order to maintain the purity of their own bloodline."

The Emperor Charles VI of the Holy Roman Empire is a proof of this sentence. What the marriage of close relatives brings him extremely dangerous genes and many strange genetic diseases.

His Majesty, who is less than fifty years old and has a good living environment, looks old like an old man in his eighties and nineties. And from the perspective of performance alone, it seems that his intelligence is still a problem.

With such an emperor, it is strange that the country's strength remains unchanged. As for the reason why he has no successor, it must be related to his poor physical condition.

After Eugen stood up, he looked up at Emperor Charles VI. However, Charles VI had no response to his sight. He once again returned to the state of sleeping but not sleeping, as if even just keeping his will was a heavy burden for him.

The two big men around the emperor and the group of nobles behind him were all used to it and had no reaction. Eugen had to pretend not to care and wait quietly for the following.

At this time, Prince Eugen stood up, first smiled at the bald middle-aged man on the other side, and then said to Eugen and all the nobles: "Hello everyone, I will preside over the ceremony next."

Only then did Eugen notice that there was an inconspicuous golden medal on the prince's chest, and there seemed to be a few letters engraved in the center of the medal - which was the mark of the head of the Holy Roman Empire Cabinet Conference.
