Online game: Confession of love to a noble daughter at the beginning

Chapter 332

Surrounded by ministers, the group gradually walked into the entrance of the huge stone castle.

The blue light illuminated the originally dark corridor, but it could not dispel its coldness.

Whether visually or sensually, this huge stone castle that seemed to crawl on the ground made people feel majestic and solemn.

The towering stone pillars even went deep into the ground, forming a natural structure like a barrier.

After entering the gate of the castle, a magnificent gray and foggy hall came into view.

The lights were dim, and even the shadows in the corners were still dancing.

The weak candlelight was reflected on the three steel pillars suspended in the air. The dim orange flames seemed to be in the heavy iron walls and could only barely illuminate the surrounding darkness.

Surrounded by the nobles of the Kingdom of Kant, twelve majestic and outstanding foreign ministers in blue and green robes walked into the center of the hall.

Every noble of the Kingdom of Kant was equipped with a shining long sword at his waist. A silent sense of oppression surged from them like a tide, making all the diplomats feel the pressure.

Sword flags hung from the steel pillars, and the lead-colored flags made the huge city look more solemn and murderous.

The knights and guards all stayed in the city, and they were not allowed to follow along.

In such an atmosphere, even the faces of the twelve foreign ministers showed solemn expressions and remained silent.

Although this was not the first time they came here.

But it was the first time they saw the large-scale posture of the Kingdom of Kant.

This did not seem like a diplomatic contact, but more like the royal family holding some kind of ceremony to welcome the distinguished guests from afar.

So many nobles, almost all of them were well-known lords in the kingdom.

Moreover, even the legendary duke came here.

Festan Barro.

The Grand Duke enjoys extremely high prestige and reputation in the entire Kingdom of Kant. Not only does he have countless wealth under his command, but he also has elite troops that can cover hundreds of miles of land.

Even the territory he is in is governed in a very orderly and safe manner.

There are countless talented and ambitious people under him, and they do their best to execute all the territory orders issued by the Grand Duke.

Under one person, there are ten thousand people above.

Above the Grand Duke, there is only the royal family.

Although this is the case, even the royal family has the highest respect for Duke Barrow.

The foreign ministers have come to the Kingdom of Kant many times, and naturally they are met by the king every time, but they have never seen this mysterious Grand Duke.

But the ministers know in their hearts that the reason they can get such treatment is entirely because of the person who walks in front of them.

Aurelian Sol.

As the future heir of the Carencia Empire, the Kingdom of Kant will certainly give the greatest courtesy.

And there is one more thing.

This Grand Duke is also the grandfather of Princess Aurelian.

At this moment, Duke Barro was walking in the front, leading a group of ministers, walking towards the castle.

Aurelion and Victor walked together.

Looking at the slightly hunched back of the old man in front of her, she could not help but realize in a trance.

This famous grand duke in the kingdom.

Is her grandfather.

This made Aurelion feel very unreal.

After all, she had never seen her own mother, so how could she have seen this mother's father?

However, the same.

The old man in front of her was just walking at a moderate speed.

He did not look back, nor did he speak.

Obviously behind him were his relatives left in the world, but he did not even look at Aurelion.

Sometimes Aurelion would also wonder.

Would her grandfather also feel pain because of losing his daughter?

Seeing his daughter marry in a foreign country and die after giving birth to a child.

Would he have a complaint against the empire?

Aurelion did not know.

She did not dare to guess the deep thoughts of her grandfather.

After passing through the huge hall and deep corridor, she finally came to the real palace.

Although the whole palace was very spacious, it was surrounded by lead-colored cold iron, which turned into giant pillars and deeply rooted in the earth.

It seemed to be connected to the sky, like a bridge between heaven and earth.

The several cold iron pillars supported a silver high platform, which passed through the ground and flowed out to both sides of the palace, winding in the air.

The lights on the high ceiling seemed to be composed of stars, gently sprinkled on the cold iron, making it emit a faint halo.

The atmosphere around seemed so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The ministers entered the palace and looked at the thick gray carpet under their feet. They followed the light to the end of the high platform.

The ministers stepped into the palace, with the thick gray carpet under their feet, as if a path leading to the nobleThe road leads directly to the end of the platform.

On the platform is a throne made of steel and beautifully carved. The animal-shaped patterns on it seem to jump out of it, especially the hunting bear head, with its teeth and claws bared, as if to protect the dignity of the kingdom.

There are many sharp blades embedded around the throne, showing the power and authority of the king.

Sitting on the throne is a handsome young man.

He is also wearing a light-colored, wide and thick robe and a crown on his head.

Unlike others, he wears three different swords on his waist.

Each long sword can make people feel the breath of danger at a glance.

Although he looks very young, others, including Aurelian, are not surprised.

August Samuel.

He succeeded to the throne three years ago, replacing the previous king who died of old age and illness, and naturally became the new king of this country.

He slowly stood up from the throne, his eyes shining like gems as he swept over the crowd, and he said in a loud voice:

"Welcome all the distinguished guests who have come from afar."

"Please take a seat."

As soon as the voice fell, countless chairs were slowly pushed out from the darkness, and the entire hall was instantly covered with chairs.

The foreign ministers sat on the chairs on both sides of the outer perimeter, while the nobles of the Kingdom of Kant sat on the outer side near the door.

There were also two distinguished chairs placed under the steps near the king.

Two chairs, one on the left and one on the right.

Victor walked to the chair on the left, and Aurelion took the seat on the right after hesitating for a moment.

The young King August took the initiative to smile and nodded at Aurelion.

Then he turned his head to look at the Grand Duke and said respectfully:

"Grand Duke Barro, please take a seat."

His respectful look seemed to be shown only when he was treating Duke Barro.

Grand Duke Barro did not say much, but walked to the front of the crowd and sat on the chair next to the huge cold iron throne.

He sat on it steadily with his cane.

When the Grand Duke sat down, the whole palace seemed to be pressed down by a huge rock, and the atmosphere was completely stable.

It seemed that everyone was waiting for him to take a seat.

It can be seen that the whole kingdom has great respect for this old man.

Aurelian also secretly looked at the Grand Duke from below, and saw that the Grand Duke's face, which contained vicissitudes and traces of time, had a unique toughness and seriousness.

To be honest, compared with the young king, Aurelian was more interested in this profound grandfather.

Her feeling about the Grand Duke was like seeing an ancient pagoda with deep secrets.

She suddenly thought of her teacher Victor.

The two of them were surprisingly similar in many ways. Her teacher seemed to be not much different from this Grand Duke.

Victor's reputation and status in the empire had long surpassed many nobles.

Even on par with Duke Barro.

But there are still obvious differences between the two.

After all, there are many warriors in the Kingdom of Kant, but only a few can master magic, which is completely different from the situation in the Empire.

Duke Barro, as one of the few mages among these warriors, is respected by the whole country.

This is very different from Victor's status.

At this moment, Aurelian fell into fantasy.

She imagined herself sitting on the throne of her father, and Victor was sitting next to her like the current Grand Duke Barro.

The two seemed to govern the entire country naturally.

Suddenly, the king's voice sounded, interrupting Aurelian's fantasy.

"Princess Aurelian, I wonder how you feel about the local customs in the kingdom when you first come here?"

"After all, in a sense, this is also your hometown."

The king looked at Aurelian with a smile.

Seeing this, Aurelian responded politely:

"Your Majesty, the governance of the Kingdom of Kant is meticulous and orderly, and there is no chaos on the roads. This is what I appreciate."

"Along the way, I can see thriving crops in the wheat fields and people singing and laughing. Abundance and peace coexist."

Her answer was very decent and there was nothing wrong with it.

Finally, Aurelian said seriously:

"But what surprised me most was the powerful lords of the kingdom."

"I think it is because of their existence that so many territories in the kingdom are always stable."

When her words fell, the noble lords sitting in the seats straightened their backs unconsciously.

Perhaps because this sentence came from the mouth of the princess of the Karencia Empire, it was very important.

But this sentence is indeed true.

The territory of the Kingdom of Kant is very large, and if you want to implement policies and laws in every place,It is very difficult to rule a region, and it is even more difficult to do everything.

Therefore, the lords need to be strong enough.

They must be strong enough to suppress the people in the entire territory in order to ensure the absolute stability of the territory.

Looking at Aurelian, the king was full of joy. Perhaps he wanted to continue to hear the young princess' praise for his kingdom.

However.

Aurelian changed the subject.

"After all, the empire is different from the kingdom, so I can't make too many comments."

The king nodded and smiled and said:

"So that's it, a very pertinent comment."

It seems that Princess Aurelian did her homework before coming.

She didn't come blindly and then praise the kingdom for a while without meaning.

This made him feel a little bit of favor for the young princess in front of him.

So, he continued:
