Chapter 263: The Throne Room
The carriage left for the palace, and it soon arrived. The crowd there was significantly smaller than before, presumably because many of them left for the church to see what was happening over there.
Liu Feng then went into the palace, and went to the one place that he had sparsely visited since he had beco king, even though he was expected to be there for the majority of his ti. It was the throne room. The one room in the entire castle that most showed the power and the greatness of the royal family. It was that room where everyone would see their great and powerful king et out his judgents. It was that one place in the entire world where the king was shown as the king.
Liu Feng, however, did not like this throne room for many reasons. But chief among them all was the way that the throne room looked. With the seat of the king raised above everyone else, and with so many decorations, so many entertainnts prepared for the king, it was no longer a place for a king to do actual work. And for Liu Feng, it work was what he had intended to do after becoming the king. He had intended to create the greatest kingdom in the continent, and he knew well that just sitting around would do him no good.
The throne room had one primary color sche. It was gold, and it felt kind of cliché. There were around ten thrones, but one among them stood out at the center of the room. It was obviously the throne of the king. And right below it were two others. Liu Feng knew these to be the thrones of his mother, the queen mother, and the queen herself. But, with Liu Feng being unmarried, that one seat was going to be empty for a little while.
“Where are the mbers of the council? Where are they at this ti of crisis?” Liu Feng shouted. Around the throne room, there were many guards standing. This was the most guarded place in the entire palace after all. And there was good reason for it. All the attacks on the king mostly ca from this one place because this was the place where the king would speak to his subjects. This was where the king actually had a chance to die.
“Your Majesty! The council mbers have been inford. They will be coming here at any mont!” a guard shouted towards Liu Feng.
Liu Feng nodded as he stepped towards the throne itself. He had to climb through quite a few thrones to co up to the golden throne. Truly, it looked magnificent. For the first ti in his life, he could actually marvel at the throne properly. When he was a child(in this life), his father would not allow him to take even a few steps towards the throne. He would aways be sent away. Liu Man would always say that there was a long ti before he would co and sit on the throne.
Liu Feng’s hands brushed the throne’s carvings. Dragons and phoenixes adorned the chair, and the drawings themselves looked more majestic even than the real deal. Liu Feng truly had no other choice but to appreciate the imaginations of the master craftsn that made this majestic chair possible. But that was the end of that. Liu Feng had a hint of a smile when he sat on it, and then the smile disappeared. The adrenaline of sitting on the throne was short lived, and Liu Feng was now back to reality.
There were people slowly shuffling around in the room, and people were entering. But not a single one of them said anything, and all of them were standing on the side, where observers looked on.
“Oh right. This place is still not that developed, so there should be that whole problem with no feminist leadership. Well, I will take care of that later. All I can do is just hope that these council mbers will not be so stupid and will not be so selfish. Aizz! What am I even saying? No one here has been so selfless since I had co to this world. It looks like I cannot expect Earth’s moral compass soplace like this.” Liu Feng thought to himself.
“The minister of Finance, Gerald Harrison is here!” soone suddenly announced.
“Oh my god! Don’t tell that they are going to follow that stupid process of calling out every single person who is going to co. Well, at the least I will know their nas. But all of this seems a bit too pointless, repeating things that will only waste ti.” Liu Feng exclaid with a low voice. He did not want any of this thoughts widely known. It was not favorable to him if everyone knew what he was thinking about, and how he was going to do things.
Gerald sat at the front, on one of the seven chairs that were neatly laid down in front of the king’s, and the queen’s thrones. They were lateral to the king’s throne, and they faced each other, while leaving a space in the middle for what Liu Feng could only presu was presentations.
Gerald turned towards the king and bowed down slightly, still sitting on his chair. Liu Feng returned the gesture with a slight nod. He did not want to do much else, considering that he did not know that man much.
“The minister of the sea, Ostwald Harrison is here!” that sa person announced once more.
Liu Feng glanced at the person who had just co with surprise. Once again, this was one of the things that his father was extrely strict about. He was not allowed to leave the capital to go to the sea, or anywhere else that was remotely interesting. Even when he had left the palace, it was under a disguise. But Liu Feng was well aware of what a sea was, how it looked, and the things that it entailed. While every one was looking at the sea with the thought of food and trade in mind, Liu Feng was thinking about one other thing. Exploration. He knew that the sea was the one thing that connected the different continents, and he was very interested in travelling to find out what was beyond Dicain.
