Chapter 738: Everyones Attention
For Perseus, the ice fortress in the north was destroyed, the Far Eastern Dynasty in the east was under pressure, and something big happened to his daughter. It should have been a time of internal and external troubles.
Fortunately, Dinisha, the sharp blade of the king, was able to annihilate the main force of 800,000 remnants of the six kings in Liming Peak with one sword, and then rushed to the desert to intimidate the Far Eastern generals, drawing the ground with her sword, so that the million-strong army in the Far East did not dare to cross the red line.
This stabilized the situation and allowed Perseus to take a break from his busy schedule and deal with matters at the rear.
In the north, Perseus has sent generals to the Cold Valley overnight to guard the last barrier to the interior. With enough troops there, the northern region can at least be stable and worry-free for the time being.
After Solandel returned to the Royal City, she was bedridden for several days because of her weakness after the operation. It was not until the seventh day that she could barely get out of bed, but she still needed to be supported by others, otherwise she might fall.
In the past few days, Perseus did not regard himself as a king, but played the role of a father wholeheartedly. When taking care of Solandelle, he stayed in the ward all night, doing the work that originally belonged to a servant, and carefully taking care of his daughter.
Now that he saw Solandel could get out of bed, his hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
After so many days, Perseus' mood gradually calmed down. Solandel's permanent loss of power is irreversible, but in any case, she is still alive and well, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
.
Perseus fed Solandelle breakfast, wiped the food crumbs from her lips, and said with a smile: "Are you full? Father, I will take you out for a walk."
"Have eaten." Although Solandel was still very weak, she was exhausted from staying in the ward for so many days. Now that she heard that she could go out for a walk, she couldn't wait to agree.
Because of her physical weakness, Solandel walked very slowly, and Perseus was not in a hurry at all, and just supported her and walked slowly.
As they walked, Solandel found that Perseus was taking her to the observation deck of the palace.
This observation deck is built against the huge wall of the Royal City and is adjacent to the Nuanshui Lake. From here, you can see the blue lake from the inside and the entire Royal City from the outside. It is usually a place where members of the royal palace watch festival celebrations or admire the moon.
.
There were usually no people on the observation deck, but at this time, except for the highest-ranking officials in the palace, including Burton and Andre, they all gathered on the observation deck, as if waiting for something.
Solandel asked in confusion: "Father, why are you all here?"
"These people are not important." Perseus smiled slightly, "The important thing is the people outside."
"Outside?" Solandel was puzzled, not knowing what Perseus meant by 'outside'.
Perseus picked up Solandel, let her sit in his arms, and walked forward slowly. The gathered ministers consciously moved out of the way, nodded slightly, and looked at His Majesty the King and the people in his arms.
Her Royal Highness the Princess paid attention.
On a sunny morning, the morning sun was shining brightly. When Solandel was carried by Perseus to the observation deck and the sun shone on her face, she saw a scene she had never seen before in her life.
Outside the giant wall, every square, street, and alley near the royal palace in the royal city is filled with people. The huge number is difficult to estimate. Among these people are soldiers, nobles, civilians, and some are locals in the royal city.
Some of them came from all over the world, and everyone held an ever-burning lantern symbolizing blessing in their hands. Even in the bright day, thousands of lights still stretched like long dragons, blooming in every corner of the royal city.
"Your Highness Princess... Your Highness Princess is safe!!!" I don't know who caught a glimpse of the figure on the viewing platform first. The shouts of the crowd rang out from all directions and converged into a boiling sound wave. Some people cried with joy, some cheered, and some
People knelt on the ground to express their gratitude to the gods.
"Your Highness the Princess is safe!! Your Highness the Princess is safe!!!"
Looking around, there were crowds everywhere, and loud cheers resounded in the sky. If it weren't for the huge wall, this huge crowd would have squeezed directly into the palace.
This scene immediately stunned Solandel, who stayed there at a loss.
Perseus touched Randall's head and looked with her at the crowd outside the giant wall. He smiled and said, "These are all people who volunteered to light lamps and pray for you. Some of them are soldiers and civilians you rescued from the frozen fortress."
, there are also family members, friends, and companions of these soldiers and civilians...and many, many people who have heard about your feats and come from all over the world."
"From the day you returned to the royal city, these people have been here to light lanterns and pray for you. I have sent people to persuade you several times to just go home and wait for news, but they are unwilling to leave and must stay in front of the ever-burning lantern.
Wait until I see your peace with my own eyes.”
Solandelle stared blankly at the endless crowds of people. As Perseus said, these were all based on the soldiers and civilians of the Frozen Fortress she had rescued, and relied on blood or interpersonal connections to extend the network.
Those who serve in the Ice Fortress will receive an exceptional promotion upon completion of their service. Many of these people will be future pillars of the military. Their fathers may be retired generals themselves, and their mothers may be well-connected nobles with friends from all over the world.
The interpersonal relationships between ministers and officials are distributed in every corner of the Doguland Kingdom.
Among the three children of Perseus, Solandel has never been taken seriously because her two brothers are so powerful. One is a general who is stained by the journey, and the other is a kind prince with a full reputation. The former was killed by the soldiers.
Respected, the latter is surrounded by civil servants. She, the little princess, can only be a little princess. Everyone loves her, but no one takes her seriously.
And now, when Solandel turned the tide in the north and rescued hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians back to the interior, her story has spread to all parts of the kingdom. While these rescued people were hugging their families, they were in the tavern with their companions.
When celebrating together, when singing duets with the bards, they all recounted the legendary deeds of Solandel.
From this moment on, the once unknown little princess gained the hearts of the people for the first time. Her light was no longer obscured by others, but turned into the sun high in the sky.
After the initial sluggishness, Solandel gradually came back to her senses. She cautiously stretched out her hand and tentatively waved to the people below.
The already noisy crowd became even louder. Even the king turned a blind eye and shouted the name of Solandel in unison.
Perseus didn't care about this, but smiled with great relief. The two father and daughter hugged each other happily, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
However, these two people did not notice...right behind them, a pair of eyes dormant in the dark, staring at them silently.
