Chapter 73 Knighthood
"Good morning, Mr. Senti." It would be wrong not to greet each other loudly when meeting, after all, Glenn and Senti had met each other on some occasions in the Imperial City.
Senti nodded silently when he saw Glenn, glanced at Louis, but did not speak, which was considered a greeting.
"Don't worry, Senti is a martial arts fanatic. Apart from martial arts, he rarely has anything to say. Nodding to us is already very polite." Glenn quietly explained to Louis next to the two Senti, and Louis nodded. Although Senti's move was a bit rude, Louis was not a stingy person.
After waiting for a few minutes, the other two teenagers who were going to the final assessment also came here. After a while, a whirlwind of ice and snow appeared in front of the five people, and then the peerless figure of Femis appeared in front of them.
"Let's go, follow me in." Femis said lightly, then turned and walked directly towards the Imperial Palace, and the five people hurried to follow.
"Old Four, don't look around when you enter the palace, understand?" Glenn told Louis before entering the door.
"What's the matter?" Louis was a little surprised.
Glenn quickly explained: "There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the palace. Some people are very powerful but have bad tempers. If you look around, you may accidentally offend those people. Although our Fury Family is not afraid of them, it is better not to provoke such unnecessary troubles."
"What the hell, you have to offend him if you look at him?" Louis' eyes flashed with displeasure, but he didn't want to lose Glenn's face, so he nodded to agree.
After entering the palace, Louis really noticed that in addition to the guards on duty and the maids in a hurry on both sides of the corridor, there were also many men who were dressed casually but had an extremely powerful aura wandering around.
"They are guests invited by the royal family. They are all powerful warriors. Even the weakest one has the strength of a one-star great swordsman or above. They usually patrol the periphery of the palace and are responsible for guarding the first line of defense of the imperial palace." While walking in the corridor, Glenn quietly explained to Louis.
Louis followed Glenn's instructions and did not look directly with his eyes, but just glanced at them with his peripheral vision and found that they were indeed full of powerful momentum.
"It seems that the royal family is still the royal family." Although the Fury Family is powerful, there are only four or five people above the level of great swordsman. But among the royal family, just outside the palace, Louis has seen seven or eight masters above the level of great swordsman.
No wonder the royal family does not care even though the Fury Family holds 70% to 80% of the military power of the empire. The reason is that the gap in top combat power between the two is too large, which is simply not something that ordinary armies can restrain.
It's no wonder that even though the Windfury Family was in imminent crisis, the Duke of Windfury did not order his eldest son Joey to bring back the part of the Windfury Legion stationed in the Sikkim Fortress. It turned out that ordinary soldiers could not intervene in this level.
After passing through a long straight line and countless checkpoints, Louis and others finally arrived in front of the hall.
"Wait, I'll report." After saying that, Femis quietly entered the palace.
About ten minutes later, Femis came out and led five people into the hall. At this moment, the imperial morning meeting had been discussed, and the ministers had sat on the chairs on both sides, leaving the middle empty.
At this moment, the king of the empire sat on the highest throne on the steps. On the left and right sides, there were two princes slightly forward, followed by several princes. Louis saw that the third prince was also there.
Below was the position of the ministers. Louis saw that his father, the Duke of Windfury, was sitting at the head of the ministers at this moment, looking at Louis and Glenn with a proud look.
"Greetings, His Majesty." As a court magician, Femis did not need to salute the king due to her status, but out of courtesy, Femis still performed a subordinate salute, which also gave her a good impression of the king. After all, in her heart, the king was also a competent and good king.
"Greetings, His Majesty." The five people behind him, even Senti, performed a junior salute to the king at this moment. They did not have official positions and did not need to perform subordinate salutes. Ordinary junior etiquette was enough.
"Very good, children, you are all the backbone of my Holy Flame Empire in the future. I hope that each of you can successfully complete my assessment, obtain the title of knight, and become a real noble, rather than a noble son who relies on the remnant of your father." The king's words were recognized by some ministers who were truly loyal to the empire, and the final assessment was about to begin.
"Then let me give you the assessment questions. The previous competition has proved everything in terms of combat effectiveness, so this assessment will not test combat. Let's test something else." Regarding the content of today's knight awarding assessment, His Majesty the King had a well-thought-out assessment last night and finally determined a very good plan.
"The content of this assessment..." His Majesty the King was about to announce it, but the Third Prince suddenly stood up and said, "Father, please wait a moment. I need to ask two of the examiners something in person."
"Hmm? My dear Third Prince, what do you want to say? Can't you say it after the assessment is over?" Although His Majesty the King was a little displeased with the Third Prince's behavior at this moment, he still spoke to him in a friendly manner.
"No, father. This matter involves the kidnapping of the ice princess Elsa. If what I know is true, then I think the two examiners are probably not qualified to participate in the final examination of this awarding ceremony. And what they are about to face is the most stringent interrogation in the empire!" The expression of the third prince became very serious, and his fierce and questioning eyes were directly directed at Louis and Glenn below.
Louis' heart suddenly sank: "Has Princess Elsa's matter been exposed? That's right, although I resolved the situation a few days ago, it is impossible for the mastermind behind the scenes to give up. This time it is probably their new move." Louis sighed, not knowing what the third prince was going to do, and now he could only deal with it as he saw it.
"Okay, in that case. Then you ask first." The kidnapping of Princess Elsa is a shame for the entire empire. Now that the Ice Kingdom has sent an envoy to question this time, His Majesty the King is also suffering at this moment.
The princess of a friendly country was kidnapped in her own imperial city and has not been found yet. If this news spreads, the other two empires must be laughing. His Majesty the King rubbed his head and agreed to the third prince's request.
