Chapter 1098 Princess
"Your Highness, this is the opening speech of today's Royal Swordsmanship Competition. You may need it when you come out. Today is the last day of the Royal Swordsmanship Competition. The final contestants who have advanced this time will compete for the overall championship of the Eagle Empire Royal Swordsmanship Competition. , the empress specially asked you to give the speech on the last day, today is the time when the audience all over the country is watching," the Minister of Etiquette was holding a kraft paper speech beside him, dressed like a penguin, wrapped in a tuxedo The two mustaches on the corners of his mouth bounced up and down with his words, which was indescribably funny. His slightly protruding eyes turned around, looking at Mercedes in front of him, admiring Said, "I have to say, Your Royal Highness, you are very beautiful today. Your dress and your figure are all the goddesses in the eyes of all the people of our Eagle Empire. However, the weather is relatively cold this morning, otherwise you Put on a fur coat, I believe it will be a perfect presentation with your dress."

Mercedes accepted the speech and nodded. The Minister of Etiquette waved her hand quickly. A maid stepped forward and put the fur scarf in her hand on Mercedes' shoulder. I looked at the speech very carefully and tried to be familiar with the contents. This is the lounge leading to the stage. The palace drapery drapes and curtains covered the world outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows with gorgeous curtains. Only some early morning light came through the curtains. The gap between the curtains shot in, casting bright light spots on the ground. Through the windows between the gaps in the curtains, one could see the spectacular scene of the fencing venue outside. Although there was still an hour before the fencing competition began, basically the entire The venue was already crowded with people, and there were several illusions. When Mercedes sat on the stage, she felt that she was surrounded by a black ocean, and this ocean stretched like mountains. Absolutely, covering the entire fencing venue.

The Royal Swordsmanship Hall is known as the most spectacular building built for fighting, and it is rated as one of the "most powerful" buildings by National Geographic Magazine. In the Royal Swordsmanship Hall, you can feel the magnificence around you. The imposing manner, and standing on the high stage isolated from the Royal Sword Fighting Tournament, it is even more unforgettable for Mercedes. If she remembers correctly, the first time she stepped on the stage was when she was 12 years old. Standing up, I felt that my feet were going weak, the feeling of Gao Guang looking down at the crowd in the auditorium below, as if I was flying.

At that time, it was the Eagle Queen who presided over the overall situation. Now, it is finally her turn to share some state affairs for her grandmother. Until now, she feels that her grandmother is really amazing. She is the greatest person in the world. , as a woman, she manages many affairs of the Eagle Empire in an orderly manner. She didn't think so before, but when she really sorted out the state affairs, Mercedes felt that it was really not easy.

She is familiar with the contents of the speech, the lounge is covered with light-colored carpets, light-colored sofas, light-colored curtains and wallpaper, the sunlight shines in, bright spots are quietly reflected on the ground of the lounge, and the surrounding light-colored environment Under the scattering of light, the whole lounge was illuminated. Mercedes sat quietly on the sofa, and the light cast a thin waxy light between her brown hair, revealing her delicate facial features. It is undeniable that among Westerners, there are very few girls with oriental charm like Mercedes, like exquisite ceramics.

Time is passing slowly, just like the cows grazing on the lawn, like the sunlight leaking from the cracks under the trees, like the palm prints of each child getting bigger and longer in time, like the clouds The passage of time, the silence of the wind, and then the whole world becomes grassy, ​​dim and bright.

"His Royal Highness, it's time to appear." The Minister of Etiquette came over, and the Eagle Queen also appeared in the passageway of the lounge, surrounded by Prince Amode, the Minister of Internal Affairs and others. Prince Amode saw Mercedes, who was preparing her speech, blinked at her and gave her a thumbs up.

"Are you ready? Mercedes." The Eagle Queen was wearing a long-sleeved white dress with a shoulder wrap, and a wide-brimmed silk white hat on top of her head, which was inlaid with ten thousand pearls. And Crystal, wearing a pair of white gloves, although the years have aged her face, but the brilliance revealed in her eyes has not faded at all.

Mercedes straightened the manuscript in her hands, the temperature rose slightly, her white arms were exposed from her silk gloves, she slid across the bright spots cast by the sun, held the manuscript in her hand, and nodded .

The Eagle Queen signaled to the Minister of Etiquette, who walked to the gate of the lounge and opened the heavy curtains. The sun poured down, and it was bright and dazzling. The thick curtains cut off the outside sound. Suddenly there was a tidal sound from the venue outside. The platform rose from the fencing venue, almost parallel to the four large LCD screens hanging above the head, but it was at three-quarters of the height of the venue, at least ten meters above the ground. Looking down from here, it feels like being in the sky.

Mercedes didn't wear any hat, but put her hair behind her back, highlighting a noble and elegant temperament. When Mercedes stood up and walked towards the sun with the curtains drawn, the Eagle Queen slightly Somewhat startled, Mercedes looks very much like when she was young, she has the same thin shoulders, the same slender figure, and the most unique thing is her hair that seems to shine in the sun , dressed in a pure white dress, this is the princess of the Eagle Empire, she is as beautiful and pure as an angel.

When Mercedes stepped out of the lounge, she was greeted with overwhelming cheers and applause. This kind of sound was particularly prominent in the specially designed royal swordplay venue. It was loved and loved by so many people. This is the voice of the Royal Family of the Eagle Empire. Happiness, no matter what, more than three-quarters of the people in the country support the royal family every year, and this is their happiness.A monarchy system that has been passed down from the monarchy to the present can still rule a country today. It has its own system that adapts to the country's environment, and it has a unique charm. All of these belong to the royal family of the Eagle Empire. happiness.

But relatively speaking, what about your own happiness?The conversation with Su Zixuan the night before made Mercedes's heart feel empty as if a hole had been dug out. There was no sense of solidity in her heart, it was like a pain like missing a piece of meat, heartwarming Su Zixuan loves Su Zixuan infatuatedly like Ahmed, so when I get along with Li Sansi, I always feel that there is something unreal in his eyes covered by long and messy hair , he is like duckweed and migratory birds that no one can keep, he is looking for the spring and bird's nest where he can rest, he always looks into the distance, just like he is looking at the rising sun now, far away and warmth.
