Chapter 292: The Return of the Claulund Family
At this moment, Helot was both nervous about the danger and curious about the answers to all his questions.

The soft light from the chandelier shone on Duke Holman's face. He exuded sadness and was filled with longing for Aleister and the determination to avenge him.

Since Helot knew another secret that he shouldn't know, he simply asked Duke Holman: "What secrets are there about those tungsten needles?"

Duke Holman spoke in a low voice, as if every word was mysterious: "I really don't know what the secret is. After His Majesty collected these tungsten needles from Aleister's blood vessels, he ordered people to check these tungsten needles and try to find the origin of these tungsten gold. But His Majesty suddenly ordered the execution of all those who had come into contact with the tungsten needles, and took back all the tungsten needles for safekeeping.

However... according to the information I received, about one-fifth of the tungsten needles were stolen. I also heard an unconfirmed rumor that the tungsten needles hid the secret of golden blood, but the people who knew the secret were dead, so I can't confirm the truth of the rumor."

While listening, Helot was also observing Duke Holman.

Not knowing whether he was good at hiding his true feelings or revealing them, Helot was unable to interpret more from his actions and expressions.

"How do you know that one fifth of the tungsten needles were stolen?"

Duke Holman said frankly: "The Holman family and the Bradley family have the closest relationship. There are people of your majesty in the Holman family, and there are my people in the palace. This is a tacit understanding between our two families, and it is also a means of mutual trust.

For example, we can sit in the palace and have a conversation, and no third person will know the content. "

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, and the servant's voice came in: "Your Excellency the Duke, Mr. Claulund... The banquet is about to begin, please go to the main hall as soon as possible."

"We'll be there soon!" Duke Holman asked Helot again, "Is there anything else you want to know?"

Helot: "Why tell me these secrets?"

Duke Holman stood up, revealing a powerful aura: "Because I want to avenge Arestar! I am the only one who really wants to know the truth. Find out the truth and tell me. The Holman family will protect you."

Helot also stood up and said to Holman with no less aura: "The Claulund family does not need your protection! And you can't protect me either.

Go to the banquet... it would be disrespectful if you were later than His Majesty!"

Duke Holman did not expect that when Helot faced this dilemma, he would refuse his protection and said with a smile: "Let's go together, just like our ancestors did."

Duke Holman grabbed Helot's hand and walked out of the room side by side.

The distinction between the former and the latter was a recognition of the return of the Claulund family. Even without the title of Duke, Duke Holman acknowledged the successor of the undead Duke.

The two of them entered the main hall of the palace together, and the noisy guests immediately fell silent.

All bowed to the Duke of Holman.

In terms of status, he was second only to the emperor in the empire.

At the same time, Duke Holman is also the "Head of the Court", managing court affairs for King Bradley. Moreover, many members of the Holman family hold important positions in the imperial army and are staunch allies and indispensable arms of the Bradley family.

Helot, who appeared side by side with Duke Holman, naturally became the focus of the whole audience.

"Although many of you know the identity of the young man next to me, I still need to introduce him to you solemnly." Duke Holman said passionately, his loud voice reaching every corner: "As everyone knows, there are only three founding duke families left. The Elvin family guards the northern border for the empire, and the Duke of Ice and Snow has almost never left the iceberg and snow peaks; the second is our Holman family, who assists the Bradley family in ruling the empire.

The third is the Claulund family. A long time ago, they chose to leave the core of the empire and hide away, leaving all the troubles to his brothers.

But we will not forget him, and the Empire will not forget him. We all believe that he will eventually return to his position and fulfill the powers and obligations granted to him by the Imperial Constitution.

Fortunately, we have waited for this day, and he is back! The great Claulund family, the great Duke of the Undead!

Let us welcome the head of the Claulund family, the heir to all the honors of the Undead Duke... Helot Claulund, with shouts and applause. "

Duke Holman grabbed Helot's hand and raised it up.

The applause sounded like waves, and the shouts seemed to overturn the dome of the temple.

Soon the applause became rhythmic, and everyone shouted together:

"The Duke of the Dead!"

"The Duke of the Dead!"

"The Duke of the Dead!"

"The Duke of the Dead!"

……

In front of the magnificent Imperial Palace, Emperor Bradley stood at the entrance, wearing gorgeous imperial clothing, a crown, and a deep and determined look. He stopped the eunuch from making an announcement, and stood there quietly, listening to the noise inside the palace.

This scene made the third prince Terenas, who was following behind him, feel a little uneasy. He said in a panic, "Father, those nobles are really too uneducated. How can we tolerate such rude shouting in such a solemn place like the palace? I will stop them right away!"

"No need!" Emperor Bradley said with a smile, "This is how it should be. The court has set too many rules, which put us high above the rest and further away from the noble officials who are loyal to the empire.

Let them shout, they will stop when they get tired."

Terenas was stunned by his father's words. He couldn't guess what his father was thinking, so he could only step back silently and stop talking. The uniform shouting in the hall lasted for more than ten minutes before gradually subsiding.

Helot formally met with the top officials of the empire as the patriarch of the Claulund family, and in the atmosphere deliberately created by Duke Holman, he confirmed the title of the Duke of the Undead.

Now, the only thing Helot lacks from becoming a true Duke of the Undead is the Duke's crown that has been taken away from him.

The voice of the palace eunuch finally sounded: "The Emperor of the Glorious Oath Empire, the leader of the great Golden Family, the ruler of the land, sea, and sky, the respected Emperor Bradley has arrived!"

Everyone immediately made way for the middle of the road.

The red carpet turned to gold.

Emperor Bradley strode past the bowing crowd, came to the throne deep in the hall, turned around and sat down.

"The return of the Claulund family is something worth celebrating. There are many problems within the empire right now, and the influence of the Claulund family can stop some people in time before they make unforgivable mistakes.

All the honors of the Undead Duke belong to the Claulund family! The duke's crown is well preserved in the palace, and I will return it to its rightful owner when the time is right. "

Just now it was the Duke of Holman's approval, and now the Emperor of the Empire said personally that he would give the title of Duke to the Claulund family.

The Claulund family is really going to turn things around this time!
When the noble official looked at Helot again, his eyes had changed drastically.

Since the founding of the Empire, no dukes have been conferred. After the Bloody Rebellion, only two of the twenty dukes remained, and their status was second only to that of the Emperor.

If the Claulund family could regain the title of duke, they would be one of the three dukes in the empire, and their status and power would soar to new heights.

But would King Bradley be willing to add another duke?

But no matter whether the Clauland family will restore the dukedom in the end, it is enough to have the recognition of Duke Holman. Besides, the legality of the Clauland family is written on the first page of the imperial constitution.

The hall gradually became noisy with the discussion.

The eunuch standing beside the throne shouted at the right time: "Silence!"

The sound is like a huge bell, not only striking people's eardrums, but also striking their hearts.

Helot, who was standing next to Duke Holman, couldn't help but take a closer look at the eunuch.

All the eunuchs are eunuchs.

The eunuch next to Emperor Bradley is Villalba, the chief eunuch of the palace. He is wearing a brick-red cloth robe and a tall eunuch hat. His hooked nose is very prominent, like a focus that makes people involuntarily focus on his nose.

Just now, Butler Villalba used magic to intimidate.

Helot could feel the excitement in his heart. Considering the magic resistance brought by his own high magic, the casual words of Butler Villalba had already demonstrated his powerful strength.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Emperor Bradley continued, "Let's get to the point of this banquet as soon as possible. After conferring titles on the newly promoted nobles, I will leave this place to you. I know that you all feel restrained when I am here, like rabbits being stared at by gray wolves."

Bradley the Great's humor brought a lot of laughter.

Noble officials also gave up larger spaces.

Then, Mayor Villalba began to call out names, and those whose names were called stood in the middle. They were the candidates who needed to obtain noble titles to run for members of Congress.

Among them was Helot's mother, Irina.

Now that the candidates have paid their donations into the national treasury, what they need is the nomination of the nobles and the approval of some of them.

All candidates had made sufficient preparations before attending the palace banquet, and nomination and gaining support were just a formality.

The enthronement ceremony began and the process went very smoothly.

A noble nominates, the candidate steps forward, and after gaining the approval of more than ten hereditary nobles, King Bradley the Great completes the "Lord" canonization ceremony.

The candidates were canonized one by one, and soon it was Irina's turn.

A noble recounted the contributions that Irina and the Tomorrow Group had made to the empire, and nominated Irina for the qualifications to become a noble.

Irina stepped forward at the signal of Butler Villalba.

Then, Steward Villalba asked loudly: “Viscount Lecordia nominated Aksalan Irina to become a distinguished imperial noble. She needs to be recognized by more than ten hereditary nobles before she can become a member of the nobility.

Those who think Aksalan Irina’s character meets the standards of nobility, please raise your hands…”

After Villalba finished speaking, an old nobleman came out with a cane, pointed at Irina and said, "I don't think her character meets the standards of being a noble!"
