8. Discussion

The extremely luxurious Kingdom of Orus, with its capital, the Royal Castle of Cormier, is magnificently built with jade carved railings, and is extremely noble.

The flag with the sword and shield symbolizing the royal power was hung high in front of the huge gate in front of the castle, separated by a winding moat.

On both sides of the city gate and in front and behind the moat, there were densely packed soldiers guarding. Each soldier was wearing armor and holding a spear, ready for battle.

Even though this is not the front line of the battlefield, no one dares to slack off.

If there is a reason, it is simply because this is Cormyr, the capital of the kingdom.

The highest leaders of the kingdom are all in the castle behind them. The soldiers are proud to be able to stand here to protect the future of mankind, so they are very dignified.

Of course, this is all nonsense.

-

The main reason is that the salary is enough!

The money is enough, so it is worth risking their lives. There is war raging on the front line outside, and they should have no complaints if they can have a day of peace guarding the royal city.

There was a sudden sound in the distance, and the wheels of a carriage rushed towards the edge of the city with a rustling sound.

The soldiers all held their spears tightly and looked vigilantly at the horse-drawn carriage galloping from afar.

But after seeing the specific exterior of the carriage, the soldiers all changed their attitude.

He stuck the spear into the ground, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head slightly so as not to look directly at the medal on the carriage.

The closer the carriage got to the pier in front of the moat, the lower their heads had to be.

The hanging pattern is similar to the "sword and shield" pattern of the kingdom's royal scepter, and it actually displays a carriage with a "two swords against each other" pattern, representing the symbol of the brave man's family - the Wright family.

It doesn't mean that everyone born in the Wright family is a hero. There is only one hero.

But the chosen hero must be born in the Wright family.

This has been the case throughout the ages.

This is one of the reasons why the Wright family holds such a prominent position in the kingdom.

In addition to the brave man chosen by God...the other members of the Light family are also no ordinary people. Almost all of them have combat power that can rival an army. They are praised by the world, and the reputation of [Sword of the Nation] is well-deserved.

The horse neighed and raised its hooves, dragging the carriage over the raft lowered on the moat. Without any sign of stopping, it rushed straight into the gate outside the castle.

The soldiers knew that there was no point in stopping the Wright family's carriage for inspection.

If even the Wright family's carriage was intercepted by the enemy, then the country would be doomed.

The king will not be questioned when entering the castle, and can bring swords with him. This is a privilege granted to the Wright family by the royal power. It is a tacit agreement between the guardian and the protected. It is a matter between the royal family and the nobles, so there is naturally no need to ask more questions.

On the luxurious carriage...

Xia Lai Te slightly lifted the curtain covering the carriage window and observed the scenery along the way as she passed the royal capital.

——She was just paying attention to whether there were any vendors selling donuts in the capital.

Now that we have crossed the pier and entered the Cormier Royal Castle, the core of the royal capital.

If I had to describe the atmosphere outside the carriage along the way, the only word I could use would be "natural".

lively!

Yeah...it's a given that it's lively.

From the public's perspective, it was he, as a brave man in the Light family, who defeated the core forces of the demon clan and achieved temporary peace, so it was natural for them to celebrate with great fanfare to sweep away the haze brought about by the war over the years.

People cannot always live in the shadows. They must always find opportunities and use some forms to bring some light to their lives.

Even though people don’t know how long this “victory” can bring peace to the world, it is still a boost to their confidence.

But thinking of this, Xialet couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey..."

The trauma of war has lasted too long.

Both for the people who are completely unaware that victory is false, and for this country that has been severely damaged by the war and is struggling to survive.

But compared to these, what makes Xia most distressed is...

I still don’t know how much pressure Xue Feiya is carrying.

Woo...Xuefei, there isn't much I can do for you right now, but I will...I will definitely find some strawberry-flavored donuts for you!

There was no time to think too much, Xia lowered the curtain and continued to look outside.

Because the destination has been reached.

The carriage headed straight for the main gate of the castle, the open square right in front of the council hall.

The one who had been waiting here for a long time was the king of the Kingdom of Aulus, Aulus III, Celtic Aulus.

This old man, who is over sixty years old, is leading a group of dignitaries, standing on both sides of the square, welcoming the triumphant return of the brave man.

The carriage stopped.

Xia slowly opened her eyes.

There was a glimmer of light in it, flickering with a kind of determination.

She casually picked up the scarlet shawl and sword hanging in the spacious carriage and hung them on the light armor she was wearing.

The style of a brave man is unrestrained and free.

The carriage doors opened from the inside out.

The moment Xia stepped off the carriage with a serious face, the square in front of the palace suddenly erupted in cheers!

Almost all the nobles in the country of Aulus gathered here.

"Welcome the triumphant hero!"

"Long live the human race!"

"Long live His Majesty the King!"

Xia follows her own path and doesn't care what they say.

She knew these words for sure.

This was something that these dignitaries had discussed in advance, and they were just going through the process to show the king.

In addition to the rights inherent in the Light family, the brave has an additional privilege.

That means when you meet the king, you don’t have to kneel down.

This is the case for the members of the Light family, not to mention the brave man chosen by the holy sword [Silitela].

So, Xia first walked to the front of the square, a few meters away from the king, nodded slightly to him as a sign of respect, and waited for the king to respond with a wave. Then Xia consciously walked to where she should stand.

The place where she should be, of course, is in the ranks of her own family, the Wright family.

The Wright family formed their own team.

The uniform blood-red shawl and dazzling blonde hair are the symbols of the family.

They stood in the empty space on the king's right side, particularly conspicuous and extraordinary.

Even though Xia is a hero, as a member of the family, she should stand in the line. This is the rule.

But as she walked towards the family line...

The family members did not seem to show her the same warm welcome that the others had just shown.

It was not until Xialet walked in front of the head of the Wright family, her father, that the other family members turned around and expressed their congratulations with unreal smiles.

"Congratulations, nephew Xiya. You have achieved great results in this battle. You are truly the pride of our family."

"Uncle, you are too kind. This battle is indeed fraught with danger."

I haven't said a word yet.

Someone on the other side started talking immediately.

"Hey, cousin Xia, there's no need to be so modest. We sincerely believe that you are a role model for our family!"

"Yes, if it weren't for Sister Xia, our family would have been in disgrace in this era."

"Dil, don't talk too much."

"Tsk."

They talked a lot, but Xia just frowned and responded simply.

"Thank you, cousins ​​too."

After thanking him, I didn't receive any further response.

Xia didn't worry about these things because she had already gotten used to them.

She walked in a proper and polite manner and stood beside the head and wife of the Wright family, who were her parents.

The head of the Wright family, Acklet, stood there with his hands folded, holding a big sword, and his aura was extremely powerful.

He had a serious frown on his face, bright and sharp eyes, and a neatly trimmed beard on his weathered but tough face, all of which gave people a terrifying feeling of oppression.

He stood there like a pine tree that could not be shaken by thunder, and his presence revealed his calmness and outstanding strength.

The wife of the head of the family, Ronnie Wright, even though she is over 40 years old, still has the traces of her stunning beauty in the past, with beautiful flowing golden hair.

She didn't care about that. When she saw Xia coming, she immediately greeted her and warmly welcomed her daughter's triumphant return.

The head of the family, Acklet, stared straight ahead without moving.

He glanced at the mother and daughter who were chatting with each other, and asked in an extremely serious tone with no emotion in his voice.

Judging from the content of his words, there was a hint of criticism in his remarks.

"Xia, why are you so late?"

"I'm sorry, father. Something happened on the way and delayed me for a while."

"Remember, even if the Wright family is treated favorably by the kingdom, you must not slack off in the slightest. It is disgraceful to let His Majesty the King wait for you here. This will not happen again."

"it is good."

The wife of the head of the household frowned slightly, and it seemed that she wanted to say a few words for her daughter.

Unfortunately, the words haven't been spoken yet.

There were already officials responsible for announcing the king's will. They crushed some magic crystals that could amplify sound for a short period of time, allowing the king's arrangements to be heard throughout the venue.

"Everyone, thank you for coming here from afar. Please move to the meeting hall in the castle. The king needs to discuss this war, the next arrangements, and even the fate of the entire human race with you."

9. How to deal with it?

The central hall of the meeting hall in the royal castle.

The corridors of the huge palace were covered with bright red carpets engraved with royal medals.

The load-bearing columns made of crystal and gold with exquisite and mysterious craftsmanship firmly support the four sides of the hall. They are magnificent and demonstrate the ingenuity that human craftsmen have been proud of for thousands of years.

The lords of the court, dressed in splendid clothes, were arranged on both sides of the hall according to their respective functions, guarding His Majesty King Aulus III, who was sitting on the royal chair on the front steps, and the king who was sitting on another throne beside him.

Concubine.

It can be said that their positions are in accordance with traditional rules.

As for the members of the Wright family who were standing side by side just a few meters to the right of the throne, there probably weren't so many rules to follow.

Since they are a family known as the "Sword of the Nation", they should stand close to the throne.

Inside the palace, middle-aged women in black and white lace maid outfits were carefully and nervously placing magic crystals used to diffuse the sound in every corner of the palace.

Today, almost all the big names in the Kingdom of Orus gathered here.

In this situation, there is no room for any mistakes in their work.
