Chapter 1066: Chapter 1063 Dazzling Chapter 1066: Chapter 1063 Dazzling “I hereby declare to everyone on the Legendary Continent,” he announced with a majestic tone, “that the Fla Kingdom rises above the Eastern Sea, succeeding the glorious civilizations of the Moon Empire and the Sun Empire. Today, on the First Day of the First Month of the First Year of the Fla Calendar, it officially becos a new kingdom on the Legendary Continent, believing in the glory of knights, protecting the virtues of justice, inheriting the past and providing shelter for the people of the kingdom.”
A pre-written oath was solemnly pronounced by Liszt, reaching the ears of everyone present at the Royal Palace Square.
After he spoke,
his mind connected with his dragon, which issued various dragon roars, “Oh ho,” “Roar,” “Hoo ho,” “Yo ho,” “Wu yi ya,” incessantly resounding.
The hushed crowd also erupted into cheers, and the Magician “Fireworks Team” that had been prepared around the square began using Magic Equipnt to continuously unleash various magics, instantly turning the sky into a spectacle of multicolored beauties, pleasing to both heart and sight.
With a slight smile curving his lips, Liszt, holding the king’s scepter, walked towards his throne on the stage—a throne specially crafted from Magic tal Alloy, symbolizing sheer luxury.
During the interlude of ongoing cheers, servants of the Royal Palace and knight retainers hastily stepped into the square to clear the now unnecessary props and redecorate the Royal Palace Square, readying it for the next phase of the founding ceremony. Liszt took this opportunity to drink so water and glanced at the speech notes he carried with him.
As the cheering gradually subsided, whispers quickly swelled, with the excited nobles and commoners passionately discussing the dragon display ceremony and the king’s speech.
“The kingdom is finally established; from now on, we can truly call ourselves people of the Fla,” soone remarked.
“Indeed, no more Eagle People, Moon Slayers, or Sapphire People; we are all Fla People now, the subjects of our great King Liszt,” another added.
“The Majesty’s speech was outstanding,” another said. “Our Fla Kingdom even inherits the great civilizations of the Moon Empire and the Sun Empire.”
“I know about the Moon Empire, but what is the Sun Empire?” soone questioned.
“Never mind what it is, just hearing Moon and Sun, you know the Sun Empire was as great as the Moon Empire,” another person chid in.
“The Light emanating from His Majesty was so bright, I couldn’t even open my eyes,” another exclaid.
“A kingdom, in my lifeti I have witnessed the birth of a great kingdom and had the honor to be a part in it, becoming a founding noble!” An Earl on the viewing platform was filled with emotion, having gone from a captive last year to a founding Earl this year.
An envoy from a duchy also expressed deep emotions, “King Liszt has truly beco a legend of the Legendary Continent.”
A noble lady, her eyes twinkling with stars, almost fainting from excitent, covered her chest, “Although I might not agree with King’s fashion taste, his noble deanor is indeed intoxicating… I truly hope I could have a chance to dance with His Majesty.”
“I want to ride dragons too!” exclaid a little commoner boy, clenching his fists. His na was Jim; he had migrated to Fla Island with his mother during last year’s Pioneer Mandate War and was now attending Knight School.
“Life on Fla Island is so blissful, all thanks to King Liszt, who will always protect us!”
“His Majesty is the greatest knight!”
Countless praises were uttered by people of various standings, yet not everyone was moved by the king’s speech.
At least, Alexander White Iron, the envoy from Eagle Kingdom, had been anxious since the dragon display ceremony began: “Eight dragons… Although the founding ceremony is full of fanfare, Liszt’s strength is undeniable. Adonis tasked with assessing Fla Kingdom, how should I report back?”
Liszt had indeed displayed unimaginable depth at the founding ceremony, any kingdom possessing eight dragons could dominate outright.
Alexander knew of King Adonis’s plans, which involved feigning weakness before striking a fatal blow. However, while it was easy to feign weakness, where would this fatal blow co from?
To kill Liszt?
A Dragon Knight who could conquer eight dragons, evade imperial assassinations—a Dragon Knight of such unfathomable strength?
With such Dragon Knights and eight dragons standing guard, it was clearly unrealistic to expect the Fla Kingdom to collapse easily.
“With the Fla Kingdom at the forefront is my Eagle Kingdom, Steel Ridge and Blast Furnace Fortress could perhaps make do, but where could my Eagle hide?”
There were cheers all around, yet Alexander remained silent.
However, he was not a solitary man, as the envoy from the Blast Furnace Fortress Kingdom was also silent beside him. Unlike Alexander’s deep concerns, although this envoy was also cautious, he was more thoughtful about how to maintain the balance of the four great kingdoms in the northeastern corner of the Legendary Continent.
A triangle is the most stable structure—people in this world who do not study geotry probably do not know this.
However, those with so political sensitivity would guess that three kingdoms could coexist easily. If one was powerful, the other two could ally to prevent being swallowed. But with four kingdoms, many variables could arise, and the powerful Blast Furnace Fortress Kingdom also had to consider more.
…
Liszt was indifferent to what thoughts the Dragon Ceremony and king’s speech might provoke among the envoys of various countries.
He quickly signaled for the founding ceremony to proceed to the next part—bestowing titles upon the nobles.
Honored knights were the first to be ennobled, and due to the large number, Liszt did not need to perform the ennoblent ceremony personally. He only needed to recite a few lines written in the script, “My followers, the war is over, but tomorrow still needs protection.”
Watching the knights lined up, Liszt declared with spirit, “I will repay courage with honor, loyalty with love, and betrayal with vengeance. Let the knight’s glory be witnessed!”
With a rustle,
A group of knights knelt on both knees, stood up straight, and focused their gaze on Liszt.
More than a dozen royal clerks held all the prepared materials and distributed them to each of the honored knights, including the badges, garnts, cultural sticks, and fiefdom certificates.
Once all the nobles had donned their badges on their chests, Liszt solemnly scanned the crowd and said, “Considering your performance on the battlefield, your bold charges, your fearless acceptance of life and death, and the splendid glory you have brought to the Fla Kingdom… now, as the King of the Fla Kingdom, I dub you as lords of the kingdom, in charge of fiefdoms, providing for knights, for my sake!”
The knights all stood up and solemnly perford the oath of loyalty to the knight again, loudly responding, “I will take charge of the fiefdom, provide for the knights, for my master’s sake!”
And so,
The ennoblent ceremony was established, and the lords left in turn, returning to their original positions in the viewing stands. After the lords, it was the barons, the sa lines and process, and soon these over a thousand barons also returned to their places. Then ca the three hundred and sixty-six viscounts.
Different from the ennoblent ceremonies of lords and barons was the “king’s callout” for the viscounts.
The clerks took care of distributing the ennoblent materials to the nobles, while Liszt stood nearby and loudly declared to a viscount, “Blair Steel-Nail, as the King of the Fla Kingdom, I dub you Viscount of Trifolium County.”
Blair, who had followed Liszt from Fresh Flower Town, perford the knight’s loyalty oath excitedly, his voice choked as he responded, “I will take charge of Trifolium County, provide for knights, for my master’s sake!”
Nodding slightly,
Liszt proceeded to the next viscount, loudly declaring, “Isaiah Moss, as the King of the Fla Kingdom, I dub you Viscount of Drizzle County.”
Every proclamation was t with a loud response of loyalty from a viscount. This lengthy yet solemn scene made the commoners and minor nobles watching the founding ceremony’s blood boil, especially the younger children, who could hardly wait to rush ho to train in Dou Qi and beco glorious knights.
They earned their achievents on the battlefield and accepted the king’s land grant.
Like the dazzling viscounts in the arena, receiving the attention of the entire crowd.
