Chapter 169
Under the huge golden palace, the air seemed extremely heavy.
Countless ministers lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.
The whole palace was so solemn that it was scary.
Such an atmosphere was due to the arrival of Aurelion.
This princess, who had almost never appeared in the palace, came here in person for the first time.
When the officials around saw Aurelion, they were all stunned.
After all, this was the first time the princess went to court.
What does this mean.
None of the ministers present knew, and no one dared to figure it out.
It is common sense that the princess does not serve as regent.
And Aurelion's greatest reputation is still her title as a vase princess.
Although the reputation of the princess has changed recently, after all, the empire's strongest fourth-level mage Victor has become her teacher.
It makes people realize that Aurelion may really have some strength as a mage.
But no matter how powerful she is, no matter how her reputation changes, she is still a princess after all.
Aurelian ignored the ministers' puzzled eyes and sat quietly in the seat below the emperor.
With an innocent smile, she looked at the extremely nervous officials.
That's right, the old emperor even prepared a chair in the palace for his most beloved daughter.
This is a treatment that even the two princes have never had.
But after thinking about it, they felt that this was somewhat normal.
As an emperor, His Majesty would definitely not stand behind a prince by name like these nobles.
Because this means that His Majesty has made public the candidate for the next monarch.
The princess can avoid this discussion, so the emperor can unscrupulously pamper his daughter in front of everyone.
After all, no matter how much pampering.
As a princess, there is only one final outcome.
Marriage.
However, seeing the posture of Emperor Aubrey, many ministers were still a little scared.
They didn't know why the princess came here today.
It's not possible that she came here just to watch the court meeting and relax.
Or, is this court meeting itself related to her?
The heavy drums were struck in the early morning, symbolizing the beginning of the court meeting.
Emperor Aubrey on the throne waved his hands at the ministers who bowed to him.
A group of officials slowly stood up and began to report to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Oweser has arrived at the Pale Magic Guild in the North and met with General Vladimir."
"I believe that within a few days, the truth about the demons in the North will be investigated."
Another group of officials stepped forward and continued to say:
"Your Majesty, the demon rifts in the south have caused chaos, but His Royal Highness Albany has returned to the south to suppress it not long ago."
"It won't be long before there will be good news from the front."
The two groups of people at the court meeting, one after another, were afraid that they would not be able to compare with anyone else, and reported the achievements of the two princes.
Although neither side had taken any substantial action, the officials made it seem as if both princes had already achieved their goals.
The entire morning court was full of people competing with each other, basically talking about which side had made greater achievements.
Soon, the comparison of the princes' future achievements turned into officials looking down on each other and impeaching each other.
Aurelion looked at the chaotic scene and was a little surprised.
This was her first time in court, and naturally the first time she encountered such a situation.
This was a little different from what she had imagined.
Aubrey sat on the throne and smiled down at Aurelion.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Aurelion."
"But it's like this every morning, I'm used to it."
The emperor was laughing happily there, and every time he laughed, the heads of the ministers below would unconsciously lower a little, and they dared not say much.
That laughter was like watching a clown, laughing at them.
However, everyone wanted to be the minister who followed the emperor.
As the emperor was obviously not going to live long, they seemed more anxious than anyone else.
The emperor on the throne was not annoyed, but squinted his eyes and laughed, and continued:
"Now I know why your teacher rarely comes?"
Aurelian nodded thoughtfully.
But she was still an underage princess after all. With such an identity, there were some things she definitely didn't need to understand.
Even if she understood, she couldn't understand.
So, she asked her father innocently.
"Why did my brother and the others do such a dangerous thing?"
Aubrey put one hand on the armrest of the throne and pointed his finger at theStop knocking, and say with a smile.
"Of course it's for the empire, for our country."
Aurelian nodded, and continued to say naively:
"The teacher said that he wants to take me to the south, to the monster cracks over there for training."
"I also want to fight monsters like my eldest brother."
When the princess said this, Aubrey had no reaction, and the officials on the side of the eldest prince seemed to explode and became extremely anxious.
They bent over and hurriedly said to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
A group of ministers walked to the center of the hall, looked up at Aubrey, and told the emperor the pros and cons in a trembling voice.
"The princess is a precious body, and she must not put herself in danger!"
"The place where monsters gather in the south is enough for the eldest prince to lead the army to guard!"
They acted a little scared.
Let's not talk about what the princess is thinking for now.
They know clearly what kind of fighting power Victor has.
That day, the war magic ignited over the entire capital was seen by countless noble officials.
If he really took the princess with him, what would the eldest prince do?
What monster riot?
How many monsters can survive after this master casts a spell?
But due to the euphemism in the court, he naturally couldn't speak his mind directly.
He could only pretend to care about the princess's safety and persuade Aubrey to reject the princess's request.
Before they finished speaking, Aurelian glanced over lightly.
"Mr. Quentin, I remember that you are the director of the Monster Management Bureau."
The man called Quentin seemed to have not expected that Aurelian would remember his identity.
Seeing Quentin's confusion, Aurelian began to speak slowly.
"Most of the troops led by my eldest brother are warriors and knights of level one or two, with few level three."
"And there are only a few level two magic groups that can barely be called logistics."
As he spoke, a vast amount of magic emerged from Aurelian's body.
The magic instantly immersed the entire hall in it, as if it were a deep sea.
Countless ministers blinked their eyes when they felt this terrifying aura.
Didn't they say that the vase princess was just an ordinary level one mage?
But what about her magic power that might not even be comparable to that of a level two mage?
She is only fifteen years old!
Aurelian took in the gazes of all the ministers and said very calmly:
"Do you think my strength is not as good as theirs?"
There seemed to be some unquestionable domineering in his words.
At this point, Quentin was speechless by Aurelian.
He turned his eyes to the Second Prince's faction.
The noble ministers there also understood very well.
It was not a good thing to take advantage of the First Prince's faction at this time.
If there is a first time, there will be a second time. If His Highness Aurelian really lets Victor leave with him in the name of training this time.
This time, it was His Highness the First Prince who suffered the most, then next time, it might be the Second Prince's turn.
So they were willing to support Quentin.
A minister on the Second Prince's side stood up and said:
"Your Highness, you do have strength that is not bad for your age. However, His Highness the First Prince has brought an army to fight, and his safety is guaranteed."
"Excuse me, although Earl Victor is strong, I am afraid he will not be able to take care of you in the battle..."
"Then add me in?"
A lazy voice suddenly sounded from outside.
Everyone was attracted by this voice.
They saw a group of white clouds.
Slowly, it floated in from outside the palace.
After they focused their eyes on the person on the cloud, their pupils suddenly shrank and they were shocked.
Kokot Yade!
Ever since Liya brought her to the palace once, the noble ministers had a very deep impression of this elf.
The future elf queen, likewise, was a former councilor who knew the current emperor in the past.
The minister who had just come out was so scared that he could hardly speak.
"Councilor Ya... Yade."
Level 5 is a realm that countless people dream of or even unimaginable.
And Kokot is one of the millions who is about to cross the fifth level.
At this moment, the words of worry he just said seemed to be nonsense.
If such a wizard can't protect a princess, who else can protect the princess?
Should the emperor himself do it?
But they still didn't want to give up, someone stood up and continued:
"But... Princess, you at leastThere should be a guard team that can protect you..."
The moment the voice fell, there was a sound of iron armor outside the hall.
Everyone looked out, wanting to see where the sound of steel came from.
Suddenly, their eyes widened.
Outside the door, a group of legions of subhumans appeared.
On their heads, they had various animal features of cat ears and dog ears, trembling in the sun.
They were wearing iron armor made of bones that shone brightly.
There were some spikes protruding on the armor, which made people feel a little scared like the face of a beast.
In this legion full of subhumans, they noticed a human woman.
She was particularly eye-catching.
She exuded an extremely powerful fourth-level aura.
She wore the same armor as the subhumans and carried the same weapons.
Some sharp-eyed ministers recognized the woman.
"Isn't that the fourth-level adventurer from the south, [Giant Blade Assassin], Elsa! "
"How could it be? Didn't she become the guard of Lady Kasanna?"
Amid the shock, a crisper sound of metal armor colliding slowly came.
Gwen walked out step by step.
She turned her back to the morning sun, and the brand new silver armor on her body shone brightly under the sun.
Like a sun goddess walking out of the light, she showed her unique majesty and power.
A red sharp blade with a terrifying aura was hung on her waist. The endless flames on it could be detected at the first sight.
She walked out slowly and stood in front of all the subhumans, standing outside the palace.
The moment they saw Gwen, the nobles were suddenly stunned.
At this moment, she faced Emperor Aubrey, slowly put one arm on her chest, and knelt on one knee.
Swish!
The subhuman guards behind her followed Gwen in unison and saluted the emperor.
A force of iron Blood and a strong aura gushed out from this subhuman army, like a powerful existence with natural will.
The terrifying sense of hunting rushed into the hall, making the ministers feel their hair stand on end.
But then, the hall disappeared the fierce aura, and it was as calm as a lake.
Those ministers knew that no matter how complex the aura was, it would never disappear completely.
Unless... a more powerful person came.
They guessed right.
From the shadow of the hall, traces were drawn out, and the black ink quickly condensed on the floor behind the ministers.
Soon, a dark mass began to surge, and a strong body began to reorganize.
The man in the windbreaker stood behind the crowd.
A voice that was indifferent and familiar to them gradually sounded.
"I have brought the army you want. "
He put his hands in his pockets, and the familiar black crow stood on his shoulder, revealing his identity.
Amid the shocked gazes of countless people, he raised his head slightly, looked at them indifferently with a proud attitude.
"What."
"Nothing to say?"
