Ninety-eighth ceremony in preparation
There had never been so many Germanic nobles gathered in Mecklenburg Castle. They were invited by Arod to witness the young Count's ceremonial ceremony. In the newly decorated hall of the lord, the walls of the hall were hung with huge Aroud's flags, colorful fabrics wrapped around the columns, wooden badges were hung above the walls behind the lord's throne, and Swiss mercenaries wearing armor and iron helmets, and long halberds stood below the sides of the throne, their shoulders were decorated with wool striped lantern sleeves, tight legs and broad shoulders made the guards look very majestic.
"Are all the nobles here?" Arod stood in his bedroom. He turned to monk Elvit and Harvey, who was chuckling. A court tailor and three tailor apprentices were busy all around him. In addition to the white thin linen shirts and leggings and long pointed shoes inside, the court tailor was trying his best to sew the sleeves and skirt pendants. He also had two cloaks made of marten wool velvet to wear, and two maids were holding two
A small wooden box was filled with jewelry from the town of Wisma and from Mecklenburg Castle. In order to show off his wealth and strength, Arod had to be covered with these jewelry. However, this was not his attention, but the strong demand of the court tailor, because the court tailor from the Principal of Mason did not understand why he did not inspire to show his nobility as a nobleman. Under the insistence of this stubborn court tailor, Arod had to become a doll that the other party had fiddled with.
"Yes, the messenger of Duke Mason, the messenger of the royal family, the messenger of the Duke of Saxony, the Count of Artemark, and the Archbishop Mainz who is preparing to award the crown for you, are also invited. These are all famous nobles." Monk Elvitt respectfully reported to Arod that Archbishop Mainz was the most powerful religious noble in the empire, and his arrival was entirely for the sake of the royal family. Such a noble archbishop awarded Arod's title. This made Arod's status in the empire impregnable, and people will celebrate his reputation throughout the empire. The people in Mecklenburg County will cheer for having such a noble ruler.
"Well, my father and the others have arrived, too?" Aroud put on a thick cloak and shawl, feeling that these clothes tightened with ropes were suffocating themselves. It felt even more awkward than wearing armor, but it was all worth it. With gorgeous costumes and grand rituals to declare his authority, the nobles will not regard themselves as nouveau riche, but will sincerely accept their joining.
"Baron Wendell has been arranged to the guest room. You can meet your noble family at any time. I believe they are eager to see you, the noble Count." As the palace minister of Arod, monk Elvitt needs to arrange all the rituals, and this monk is happy with it.
"Let them see your feathers and bird wings, Arod." Only Harvey said in a mocking tone. As the spy chief, she was also one of Arod's important court officials, and was also asked to wear a suitable dress to attend the ceremony. This made the woman who was used to freedom a little unhappy, so she came here to see Arod's appearance.
"This is the most popular style in the entire East Frank Kingdom, ladies." The court tailor glanced at Harvey and said.
"Hmph, if anyone assassinated him now, he couldn't even escape, those sleeves would trip him up." Harvey looked at Arod's outfit with a picky look, and his words made the court tailor widen his eyes. He didn't expect Harvey to say such a terrible thing on this festive day.
"Okay, Harvey, I believe my spy manager won't let such a terrible thing happen." Arud glared at Harvey and said helplessly, but this reminded him to walk carefully when wearing gorgeous clothes.
"You have many enemies. Some of the nobles who participated in your ceremony are defeated by you. Moreover, the Countess Hamburg has just arrived at the castle with her people. Let's see how you end it?" Harvey kicked the skirt that was dragging the floor. She was wearing a barley long skirt that was white and green. She was used to the appearance of her wearing armor and swords on weekdays, and it made everyone feel a little uncomfortable. However, even Monk Elvitt had to admit that Harvey looked really good in his skirt.
"You mean Earl Berengal, you fight with all your strength on the battlefield. Everything happens is God's will. Besides, he should not be a petty nobleman. As for the Countess of Hamburg, all the guests are here." Arod was finally liberated from the hands of the court tailor. He waved his hands to the court tailor and his apprentice to let them retreat. The maids stepped forward and put the jade necklace and the ring inlaid with gems on him, which immediately made the young count full of jewelry spirit.
"Then what about the uninvited guest you invited? If she appears, I'm worried that it will make the nobles furious." Harvey said.
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything. Now I'll invite all my family here." Arod said to the servant beside him. The servant hurriedly ran out of the room and invited Baron Wendell and others into Arod's bedroom. At this time, Monk Elvitt and Harvey, two important court ministers of the Mecklenburg court, had left. They were very tactful and gave Arod and his family enough time to spend together.
"Arod." When Lady Eva saw Arod wearing a noble costume and looking noble, her eyes were filled with a proud look, she almost exclaimed and went forward to embrace Arod.
"Mother, father, my brother." Since Aroud attacked Mecklenburg County, he has not seen his family for more than a year. At this time, he saw that they were indescribable and his face was filled with joy.
"Arod, oh, no, Count." Baron Wendell saw Arod and quickly bent down to bow. Although he was Arod's father, his title was only a baron, and Arod was an earl who had entered the intermediate aristocrat. According to the level of the title, Baron Wendell should pay tribute to Arod.
"Please don't have to salute, my father." Arod quickly stretched out his hand to support Baron Wendell. When he traveled to this chaotic era, Arod really didn't know what he would end up with if it weren't for Baron Wendell's protection. As he gradually became familiar with and mastered the skills of survival, this strict father gave him a lot of help.
"It's a good job, Arude." At this time, the big Ifu stretched out his hand and patted Arude's arm. He looked at Arude's various precious jewelry and gorgeous clothes, and was still full of complex expressions. However, under the guidance of Josephine, he could accept it calmly.
"Thank you for attending my archery." Arod said gratefully to Iv when he remembered the two of them fighting side by side in the war with the Duke of Saxony.
"Don't be proud, I'm just here to see what it's like to be an earl, so that I know what to do when I'm crowned." Ifu smiled and used joking words to expose the awkward scene. Both of them laughed loudly. Looking at the two brothers who had no grudges, Mrs. Eva and Baron Wendell both smiled with relief.
When the Wendell family gathered together, the Countess of Hamburg was wandering around, curiously raising the sturdy castle, but there was nothing particularly worth noting here except for some weird gadgets. The only castle guards and soldiers' armor and weapons that interested her, these sturdy armor and sharp weapons, seemed to have confirmed the military strength of Mecklenburg County, and it was no wonder that they defeated the bloodthirsty Slavs several times.
"Miss, I'm back." At this time, a one-eyed knight walked to the Countess of Hamburg and reported to her.
"How did you find anything?" asked the Countess Hamburg.
"Nothing was found except those javelin cavalry, but I'm sure our snatched master of armor must be somewhere in this castle." The one-eyed knight said angrily, with one eye remaining glaring at the surroundings, and his hostility made the guards outside the tower gate look over.
"Idiot, are you trying to let us die here? Don't forget that we are just here to attend the ceremony and cannot do anything until evidence is found." The Countess Hamburg was wearing a long dress that female nobles often wore. No one could have imagined that this gentle and noble countess would kill people on the battlefield without any mercy. Her bishops of Nordic Viking blood wielded cross-winged spear hammers to smash the enemy's celestial cover.
"It's the hostess." The one-eyed knight quickly lowered his head and apologized to the countess.
At this time, Harvey was leaning against a window in the tower, looking at the scene in front of the tower with a smile. She picked up the wine glass and put it on her mouth and took a sip. At this moment, the Countess Hamburger keenly noticed Harvey's gaze. She raised her head and looked directly at Harvey, but Harvey saw that the smile became stronger. She raised her right hand and fiddled with her four fingers at the countess under the tower. The two seemed to converge in the air for a moment.
"Who is that?" The Countess Hamburg raised his chin and asked in the direction of Harvey who had disappeared from the window.
"The woman was the spy manager of the Earl of Mecklenburg. She was once the leader of a villain guild in the Mason Duke. Unexpectedly, an earl would use such a despicable woman." The one-eyed knight said contemptuously, but he seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and quickly retreated and lowered his head.
