Age of Empires From Scratch

I am also very honored to meet Her Royal Highness.

David's reply was impeccable, and the etiquette taught urgently last night was also perfect. Judging by his performance at this time, he is definitely a very authentic noble elite.

At the same time, David showed enough respect to Her Royal Highness, and kept a proper distance, including the initial greeting. He did not take the initiative to communicate with Her Highness, but simply replied to Her Highness's question .

Abelson looked at David, and he was more convinced of his previous judgment in his heart. He felt that Baron David Glamorgan would definitely be a perfect example, able to rejuvenate the common people in the kingdom, and deter those who were gradually losing their vitality. What an obedient guy.

The Baron of Glamorgan must be hungry too, so stay in the palace and finish eating before leaving!

Before important ceremonies, even His Majesty the King cannot eat, and he must stay hungry until the end of the ceremony.

From this point of view, letting the nobles leave immediately after the ceremony is the greatest gift His Majesty the King has given to the nobles.

And Abelson originally just wanted to say a few words to David, so he let the newly promoted Baron Winter leave, but he didn't expect to waste some time, and because he admired David more and more from the bottom of his heart, he simply stayed. David dined in the palace.

His Majesty the King casually ordered, and some attendants rushed to make various arrangements. In addition to reminding the kitchen to quickly prepare food for His Majesty the King, they also reminded the chef to prepare an extra meal for the newly promoted Lord Baron.

David had no reason to refuse. Going back immediately is also eating, and eating in the palace is the same.

What he didn't expect was that there were some unexpected benefits of staying in the palace.

Go and inform the etiquette officers that the family crest designed for Baron Glamorgan will be delivered later, so that Baron Glamorgan can personally determine which one to use.

Yes, Your Majesty!

After the guard knight left with His Majesty's order, David was still in a state of doubt, but it was Sophia who came with him who explained to David, so that David understood what was going on.

Although the ceremony of being named Baron of Glamorgan has ended, it does not mean that the newly promoted Baron of Glamorgan can go directly back to his territory.

What awaits him is a series of things that need to be done, the first of which is to complete a series of basic information as a nobleman in the royal city.

One of them is to determine the family crest of the Glamorgan family!

Because the pattern of the family crest is to be included in the kingdom's archives for easy inquiry at any time, this matter must be completed as soon as possible.

The design of the family crest can be designed by myself. Of course, the family crest you design is not in compliance with the regulations and will be rejected when you send it up; or you can directly ask the ceremonial officer of the kingdom to help with the design. This kind of information is used to design the family crest, and then it is up to the new nobles to decide whether to use it.

Both ways are acceptable, but the former requires the new nobles themselves to have a certain understanding of the requirements for the design of the family crest, and you can consult the etiquette officer for matters in this regard.

The second is more convenient and easy, just need some face or gold. There are several designs that meet the requirements, and it is up to you to choose which one to use.

If the face is not big enough and the gold is not enough, even if someone is invited, it will take a long time, and the finished product may not be in line with your wishes.

But David doesn't have to worry about this. His Majesty's words directly saved David a lot of trouble. He only ate for a while after a meal, and he was more talking to His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness. His Majesty's The guard knight brought an ceremonial officer to the place where they had their meals—the semi-open-air hall next to the back garden for rest.

Your Majesty, the family coat of arms for Lord Glamorgan is ready.

An official wearing the uniform of an ceremonial officer was holding a stack of cardboards in his hand. When reporting to His Majesty Abelson, he also held the cardboards to his chest so that His Majesty the King, His Royal Highness the Princess, and Baron David Glamorgan could see Know the pattern drawn on the cardboard.

Lord Glamorgan, do you like any of these designs?

After David responded, he looked carefully at the cardboard in the hands of the etiquette officer, and the etiquette officer also turned to David in a timely manner, so that David could see more clearly.

On the cardboard held by the etiquette officer at this time, there are not many patterns on it, just a shield-shaped pattern with blue as the background color, three trees are drawn on the shield, and a white horizontal stripe like lightning is on the bottom of the tree. In addition, there is a crown pattern on the top of the shield, which means that the family is directly loyal to His Majesty the King.

While David was watching, the etiquette officer explained in a clear and loud voice why the design was so: Baron Glamorgan's territory is a newly developed territory, because it is not a land that was captured or entrusted by military exploits, so there is no symbol of weapons, but It chose the representative terrain around Cold Winter Town, such as forests and rivers.

After realizing that Baron Glamorgan was not very satisfied with the first picture, the etiquette officer decisively changed to the next one: the pattern is still the shield shape with a crown on the blue background, but there is an extra one in the middle that runs through the whole picture, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. According to the etiquette officer's introduction, this is a symbol of the peak in the distance of Rinwinter Town...

After seeing David's expression, the etiquette officer continued to change another picture...

After introducing several pictures in a row, David found that these etiquette officers are really not fooling around. In such a short time, the etiquette officer has already figured out all the elements around Cold Winter Town.

In addition to the mountains, forests, and rivers, the wolf's head appeared on the pattern behind. The unique species of the northern giant wolf was also recorded in the documents and was not ignored by these ceremonial officials.

In the end, David chose a blue background, pure white without any details, a huge wolf head pattern on the side, and a shield pattern with a crown as the family emblem. This picture looks simple and straightforward, and the wolf head looks more handsome.

Trees, rivers, etc. are not domineering enough, and have not shown his inner ambition at all.

Once the family crest has been determined, the ceremonial officers must report the family crest to the civil servant in charge of archival records, so as to complete the records of the basic information of the Baron Glamorgan family.

Is it true that there are still many similar problems to be solved in the future?

After the etiquette officer breathed a sigh of relief and left, David finally couldn't help asking, his expression made Princess Sofia and Abelson couldn't help chuckling.

Lord Glamorgan, this is indeed just the beginning. There are still more things that need to be dealt with slowly. Abelson chatted with David again, and after eating all the food on the table, reminded David that he could Go to the etiquette department: According to the laws of the Kingdom of Tilan, newly recruited nobles must receive instruction from the ceremonial officer appointed by the kingdom for more than one year.

I see, Your Majesty.

Although he kept chatting with the king and the princess, and had to choose a family crest during the period, it was not safe for him to eat this meal, but he ate some food, and the state of hunger was relieved.

What's more, I can leave, and I can eat if I feel hungry after returning home.

Unexpectedly, just as he stood up, Princess Sophia also stood up next to him: Father, let me take Baron Glamorgan to the ceremonial officer!

... Abelson pondered for a few seconds, and finally nodded in agreement: Go early and come back early!

Okay, father. Sophia turned around happily, and waved to David beside her: Come with me, I will take you to find the etiquette officer.

David saluted and bid farewell to His Majesty the King, a bit unclear what His Majesty was thinking?

He obviously didn't want to let himself be close to his daughter before, why did he suddenly change his mind? Could this be the so-called unfathomable power of the sky? Should I learn by myself?

Follow the energetic young princess to leave the back garden, then go around the side of the main hall where the conferring ceremony was held, return to the square of the main hall, then turn right and walk into a huge building.

Before entering this building, David didn't think it was difficult to find this etiquette department, but after walking around with Princess Sofia for a while, he realized that this place was 'really hard to find', What about drawing a maze?

How is it? Is it hard to find?

Yes! David nodded sharply: Fortunately, Her Royal Highness is leading the way.

By the way, is that kind of northern giant wolf really huge? The etiquette officer introduced the northern giant wolf when he introduced the special products around Lindong Town.

Yes, it's huge, and it can even be used as a mount. David originally wanted to catch a few of them himself to see if they could be domesticated into mounts, but now that he has chosen the family crest with a wolf's head pattern, he wants to catch them even more.

Sounds like fun! How about you grab one for me?

Oh, Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid that thing is not suitable for you.

Tsk, isn't it just a wolf? Princess Sophia looked annoyed, feeling that she was underestimated: Is Winter Town really cold?

Yes, it's very cold, much colder than the winter in Iron Tree Castle, and the winter time is also very long. David briefly described the winter in Lower Winter Town, and when he heard the winter, he couldn't see other colors. At that time, the princess showed great interest.

It's a pity. It would be great if my father sealed the town of Winter as my territory, so I can go and see for myself.

...

David didn't answer the words, which was not easy to answer. He felt that it was a problem no matter what he said, and it was best to pretend to be dumb.

At this moment, Princess Sofia stopped in her tracks, pointed to the open double door and introduced: This is the Etiquette Department of the Kingdom of Tilan. My task is completed. It was a pleasure chatting with you. I hope to see you again. , Lord Glamorgan.

Thank you very much for your help, Your Royal Highness.

David thanked him, and then watched calmly as Her Royal Highness walked out of the building through the gate less than three meters ahead, and returned to the square they had walked through when they came.

Many friends are concerned about my word count and listing. The main reason is that I am used to 3,000 words per chapter, while many people use 2,000 words per chapter, especially during the public edition period.

If you update at the normal speed, it should be just over 200,000 now, but I have always updated at 3,000 words, so those who think I update slowly, won't your conscience hurt?
