Chapter 96
Outside the palace, a large convoy was slowly passing through the central avenue of the imperial capital and heading towards the palace.
In this large convoy, all the carriages were pulled by precious plum blossom beasts, and each carriage was extremely luxurious.
In the middle of the team, there was a most magnificent carriage, pulled by two blue-eyed golden-eyed beasts. The carriage was made of the best ice wood in the Far North and decorated with all kinds of extremely gorgeous objects.
A soft canopy hung from the roof, covering the windows on all sides.
In addition, the whole body was engraved with complex magic patterns, showing its preciousness and the noble status of the people sitting in the carriage.
Such a gorgeous carriage team naturally attracted the attention of many people.
In the imperial capital of the Holy Empire, although there are countless nobles, being able to use such a luxurious carriage when traveling is enough to represent the status of the carriage owner in the imperial capital.
What's more, on the side of the carriage, a Saint Laurent logo was clearly engraved.
This means that the owner of the carriage is from the royal family. The imperial family is very prestigious in the Holy Empire. When the royal family travels, they are always respected by the people and nobles.
However, this time, when the carriage was traveling on the central avenue, the onlookers did not dare to rush forward, but watched from a distance with cold and indifferent eyes.
They recognized the owner of the carriage.
When the carriage passed by, no one spoke.
But when the carriage passed by, many onlookers secretly spit.
"Pooh!"
"Witch!"
"Such a person is still alive!"
"Why would Your Majesty keep such a person in the palace?!"
""It must be the enchantress who deceived me!"
They cursed in a low voice, pointing at the carriage.
At the same time, in the grand carriage in the middle of the team, the window covered by the curtain suddenly opened a very small gap, and through the gap, it was enough to see a delicate and soft finger that seemed to be carved from white jade.
The finger only appeared for a moment and soon disappeared.
But if someone could see this finger, it would probably be enough to imagine it.
In the carriage, a woman in a luxurious palace skirt sat on a soft couch.
She looked dignified, but in fact she was a little lazy, with a hint of charm in her eyes.
Although the words spoken by passers-by were very low, she still heard them.
However, she didn't care.
It seems that these vicious curses didn't seem to leave any ripples in her heart.
Of course, whether she minded or not was unknown.
The spacious carriage was full of luxurious details.
Many seemingly random utensils and objects were made of very precious materials.
Especially the hollow ball hanging in the middle of the carriage, A faint fragrance wafted out from the sphere, filling the entire carriage.
However, due to the magic array, it could not escape at all.
Smelling this fragrance was enough to refresh one's spirit.
It was like being in a sea of violets in the hot summer, with a cool breeze blowing. Bending over with the flowers, the sea of flowers floating, and the mood being relaxed.
This was the fragrance that His Majesty of the Empire had specially searched for across the continent to please her. It took three years and was made with many of the top spices in the world.
Its value was so precious that she alone could not believe it. The value of the spices consumed in the carriage during this period of time is equivalent to the lifetime savings of a five-star magician.
And such luxurious spices are exclusively for her use!
It can be said that she is extremely pampered.
The carriage moved forward slowly without any shaking.
At this time, an old maid standing in the corner of the carriage stood up, knelt at her feet, and whispered:"Madam, we don’t have a token to enter and exit the palace. I’m afraid we will be stopped by the guards when we arrive... Should we inform His Majesty in advance? If His Majesty knows, he will definitely come to greet you in person!"
Hearing this, the woman raised her eyes slightly.
After a while, she opened her cherry lips and said:"Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs. It stands to reason that His Majesty should not be asked to come in person, but a general manager can be sent."
Her voice was very pleasant, like a wind chime under the eaves, with a hint of laziness in the crispness.
But in the laziness, there is a warm and tender feeling. In the meantime, there is also the fragrance of violets, which makes people unable to help but imagine after hearing it.
"but……"
At this point, she added,"I heard that your Majesty's youngest son has returned?"
As she spoke, the woman sitting on the couch picked up a fresh fruit from the fruit plate on the table and started eating it.
The old maid was very considerate and took the fruit shell from the woman with her handkerchief in her hands.
Then the old maid lowered her head and said,"I understand."
"Well, go ahead.……"
The woman waved her hand and became lazy again. She closed her eyes and dozed off.
As for the old maid, she called a guard to go into the palace to report. The carriage stopped unnoticed.
Just outside the palace, waiting for His Majesty and His Highness to greet them.
……
In Linn Castle,
Linn was reading a book in the courtyard.
On the table next to him was a list of winners from the previous competition sent by the Magic Alliance.
According to the practice of previous years, the top 32 young magicians in these battles will be awarded titles by the empire.
The top three are viscounts.
The middle twelve are barons.
The rest are all lords.
In addition, in addition to the different titles, the size of the fiefdom of each newly promoted noble is also different according to the ranking.
Don't look at these titles. They are not big.
But you have to know that these are titles conferred by the empire himself!
Since Linn began to manage the affairs of the empire, the number of titles granted by the empire has become less and less every year.
The Holy Continent has such a vast territory, but the number of titles conferred by the empire itself every year is only more than ten on average.
Most of them are low-level titles such as lords and barons.
Because of this, the value of the empire's titles is getting heavier and heavier.
Don't look at the top three as viscounts, but they are more precious than the earls conferred by the dukes and princes!
The Magic Alliance sent them to Linn for review.
If there are no problems, it can be approved.
But Lin En was lazy and ignored it for the time being. Just when Lin En was reading, Miles suddenly trotted over.
Although he was old, he was very strong, so he was still very fast when he moved.
When he came to the yard and saw Lin En, he saluted first, and then said:"Your Highness, that person... has arrived outside the palace. His Majesty is going to greet him. Please go and greet him together."
The person Miles was talking about was the woman who was extremely favored by His Majesty.
She has a special status in the palace, and she has no status.
Therefore, she can only be called"that person" in the palace.
After hearing this, Lin En didn't even raise his head, and said in a deep voice:"Don't go."
