Chapter 216: Just Think of It as a Proposal
Chi Nan was also stunned. He never thought that the person who came was Sophia. "Why is it you, So... I'm here to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you." Chi Nan reacted and quickly changed his words.
The knight next to him had a disdainful look under his helmet: "A country bumpkin noble who doesn't even know etiquette. I really don't know how he became a noble." They were also nobles, so they naturally looked down on nobles like Chi Nan. But at the same time, they were also very envious, because this person's status and power would soon far exceed their own, and they had not yet achieved such an achievement.
Isn't it just planting a few trees? Is it amazing to plant trees? Everyone thought in their hearts.
Sophia smiled slightly. He knew that Chi Nan didn't understand these things, so he followed and walked forward: "Don't say so much, let's complete the canonization ceremony first. It was too hasty last time, and coupled with the situation in Remas, I haven't made up for you."
Chi Nan hurriedly led the way from the side. To be honest, Chi Nan still felt a little flattered.
After all, this was not a real canonization ceremony. In a general enthronement ceremony, even if one is enthroning one's own earl status, one only needs to find a person of equal status to issue the noble document, and then go to the imperial capital to complete the consciousness.
But unexpectedly, this time Sophia actually came here in person to enthronize. For other people, this is really beyond the general specifications. It turns out that without knowing it, I have been able to let the royal family take me seriously.
At this time, under the slogans of warm welcome shouted by people on both sides, several girls ran over quickly and handed a bouquet of flowers to Sophia and his maid with both hands, as well as other guards around them.
Everyone took the flowers in a daze, and some did not understand why. At this time, the girls took a wreath and put it on their heads. A knight even instinctively wanted to draw his sword. But after realizing that it was just a wreath, he calmed down. Let the girl put the wreath on him, take a closer look, it's not bad.
"Chi Nan, is this also the unique welcome ceremony of your half-elves? It's really close to nature."
Chi Nan smiled awkwardly: "Haha, this, this is the welcome ceremony in our place." It is indeed our place. I didn't say that it is a half-elf. My place is the earth, nothing wrong.
"This ceremony is good and worth promoting. After returning, I will suggest that the Kingdom Etiquette Department add it."
Chi Nan grinned. It was just a spoof, but why did it feel like even I was involved.
"Haha, it's just a little thing. Let's go to the castle first." Chi Nan hated that this place was far away from the castle. At their speed, it would take less than half an hour to get there.
As they walked along the road, Sophia was very interested in some of the layouts around them. From time to time, she asked questions. Chi Nan had no choice but to explain them one by one. Sophia became more and more interested in the layout here. She simply turned around and ordered: "Xiao Jia, write down the layout here. It makes sense."
Chi Nan felt black lines on his head, as if it was not the right thing to let the princesses around come here. Forget it, no matter what, we have come here, so we can only go on.
"Look, that's the third princess. Her Royal Highness is really beautiful."
"That's right, it would be great if the third princess could become our lord's wife."
"Shut up, don't make trouble for the lord. Princesses of the kingdom usually marry princes of other kingdoms, or marry the heirs of dukes, or at least the heirs of marquises. This is the rule, do you understand?"
The old man who spoke was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
"You know, can't I think about it? The lord may become a marquis one day. Such a good lord, if he can't... it would be a pity."
"But, what about Lord Hemilla." Someone was worried about Hemilla.
Hemilla also looked at Sophia from time to time, then touched her arm and looked at her chest, nodding and annoyed, with a very tangled expression. Fortunately, Chi Nan did not look back in the direction of Hemilla, otherwise he would definitely find something strange. Sophia is now the center of attention, and everyone is surrounding her.
After walking all the way, the group finally arrived at the castle. Chi Nan also wiped his cold sweat and finally walked back.
Walking to the center of the castle hall, Sophia stepped forward and stood in the first place. "This place is really good. Then let's start the canonization ceremony. No one else is invited. You guys can come as witnesses."
The knights are all people with titles. The seven knight kings stand on both sides, take off their helmets, and look straight ahead with a serious face. All the movements are meticulous, standing here like a few statues. The other people around them shut their mouths immediately, and there was a solemn scene.
"Hurry up and kneel on one knee." Seeing Chi Nan indifferent, Sophia said hurriedly.
"Oh, oh, I know." Chi Nan knelt on one knee awkwardly, and now it was his turn. "Forget it, just think of it as a proposal. Kneeling down on one knee in front of a beautiful woman is nothing. Sophia has so many flowers on her body." Thinking of this, Chi Nan's expression became a little vulgar, and the original resentment in his heart disappeared without a trace.
Sophia didn't know this. Seeing Chi Nan's smile, she thought he was happy.
Sophia drew out her sword and placed it on Chi Nan's shoulder. "It looks like this is really similar to the loyalty ceremony, except that the loyalty ceremony is to tap the sword on the head, but this is placed on the shoulder. Fortunately, Sophia is weak and the sword is not big, otherwise ordinary people will be crushed by the sword." Chi Nan was thinking wildly.
And Sophia said seriously: "I, Sophia. Rusyala, the third princess of the Rusyala Kingdom, hereby confer the title of Baron Chi Nan and promote him to the second-class earl."
Chi Nan hurriedly said: "I, Chi Nan, accept the kingdom's canonization and am willing to contribute all my strength to the empire."
After that, the sword on his shoulder, or on his neck, was taken away.
"No, why is it the second-class earl, not the third class? It's higher than I thought." Chi Nan was a little confused and wanted to get up and ask what was going on.
But before he could get up, Sophia whispered, "Don't get up, it's not over yet."
Chi Nan was a little surprised. Wasn't it too late? The canonization was so simple. But seeing Sophia's serious eyes, Chi Nan had no choice but to continue kneeling down: "Just think of it as a second proposal." Chi Nan comforted himself in his heart.
