Chapter 503
After getting a pants muddy, the hunt had to end...
After hearing the news, the servants nearby rushed over and were chatting on the stone. An Feng also tried the cigar that Matthew had opened for him, but he was not used to smoking this thing, so he choked with a mouthful. Matthew next to him frowned: "Give it aside, you'll waste a cigar!"
An Feng smiled: "I always see this in movies, and I feel like I am the same as Yan."
"I can't communicate with you." Matthew shook his head when describing his classification. "It takes patience and an hour to have a free time to enjoy it. You can prepare for leisure in advance. Look at our state, although the boots are full of mud..."
"Okay OK, I admit I ruined this thing." An Feng stood up, "It's getting late, let's go back and come again tomorrow."
On the way, Matthew answered a long-distance call. Although it was a remote area, the country was not large, and several signal towers on the mountain were enough to cover them completely.
He said a few words, as if it was an invitation, and then put down the phone and said to An Feng: "Do you still have the impression of Bazel's eldest son, Charlie?"
"We went to Africa together back then, what do you think?" An Feng said.
"My fault." Matthew said with a smile, "Their family is going to come and visit, so I might as well invite them here, how about it?" "No problem, as long as you don't mind the environment here." An Feng said.
"That's good." Matthew picked up the phone and continued to speak a few words, and then he said, "They promised to come, probably to Cagliari tomorrow morning."
An Feng said: "Save a contact information and I will arrange someone."
...
There were guests coming in the morning, and the original hunting was postponed until the afternoon.
At around ten o'clock, two SUVs drove into the hunting palace. The Sinclairs and their children got out of the car. But Anfeng and Bazer are good friends. When facing Charlie, he always felt like he was facing the younger generation.
Charlie's wife Josephine is a Danish person. An Feng had met at their wedding. He heard that he came from a famous family and was also a standard set of lady curtsy when facing An Feng and Joanna. Although this kind of etiquette is not mandatory, it is very common among nobles and royal families.
"My father asked me to greet you both. I hope I can forgive you because of the delay in important matters." Charlie said politely.
"Thank you to him for me," said An Feng.
Charlie introduced the son and daughter next to him: "Boy Carl, girl Margaret."
"Hello, sir, madam!" The two children also greeted him well, especially the girls. They would also perform rituals to Joanna. Joanna smiled: "Beautiful girl, God bless you!"
"Thank you, madam," she said.
She is about five years old, with soft and fluent blonde hair and a fat baby face. She looks like Alice when she was a child. She is just quieter and not as lively as Alice before. She always asks the bottom line when she catches questions.
The children were also introducing themselves, and Alice also showed them the trophy of the wild boar fangs the day before yesterday.
A large group of children were chattering, full of yearning for hunting outside. In the afternoon, they satisfied their children's wishes and continued to go out, but because there were many children, the range of activities was not far away. They were only concentrated around the hunting palace. For safety reasons, the guards brought spears.
With so many people hunting, it's enough fun, but the technology will decline.
The children have different personalities. Matthew's youngest son William is brave and curious, and wants to try everything. Alice gets along the best with him, both of which are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Fred is quiet, talks less and observes more, but he is very kind to help his companions.
The children get along happily, and in a few days, the friendship has developed to the point where they can sleep in the same bed.
...
After ten days of fun, the children were trained, their picky tempers were gone, and they also had a sense of cooperation.
Unfortunately, I have to say goodbye after I come back.
"Goodbye!" Alice and Fred waved to their friends.
An Feng also waved his hand to their car and said to the child: "See you next time."
"I know." Alice said, "What do you think, Fred?"
"I believe it." He said.
An Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry about these things. When we have free time, we can visit us or arrange a party during the summer vacation. This is your circle of friends."
"Dad is so nice," Alice said, Lafred walking back, "Hurry up, let's see the newborn baby dog."
"This is a better mentality." An Feng smiled at their backs.
On the way back, Joanna said to An Feng: "Did you find out that Maggie likes to stay with Fred?"
"Maqi?" An Feng was puzzled.
Joanna said, "Margaret."
An Feng said: "I thought only Americans like to call nicknames randomly."
"Seriously, did you find out?"
"No, I feel that the children are the same. I have fun playing together, aren't it?"
"You don't understand." Joanna shook her head.
"You are not thinking about future things when your child is still so young, right?" An Feng suddenly laughed with understanding the meaning.
"I didn't think so!" she defended.
"I understand." He smiled, "I thought some people were anxious to be grandmas."
"Bold!" She reached out to pinch An Feng.
"Stop!" An Feng avoided, she chased after him, hugged his neck and jumped onto her back.
"You are the queen, do you still want an image?" An Feng walked forward with her back.
"I don't want to play the same role for twenty-four hours!" she said, "Now I am your wife, step away your legs and move forward!"
"I'm convinced you." An Feng shook his head.
...
After the New Year, the Queen will officially enthrone a group of nobles.
This list is all familiar to An Feng friends. They received their passports and after inquiring, they agreed to accept the title of the queen. Three people received this honor, and they all showed their intentions.
They were invited to the Moncalerie Palace, and the three of them brought their wives and daughters to each other. Several children met again, but they quickly fulfilled their wish.
In addition to having the honor of a noble, the title also has the meaning of closer cooperation.
Accepting the title of a nobleman also means loyalty to the queen. Although it is not stated clearly, everyone understands the meaning of this. The An family is rare, and at present, except for the couple, they are relatives who are about to enter society. The population is relatively large and they need cooperation.
But it is not the same as in ancient times. Allegiance was given more symbolic meaning, and there was no other loss except for showing the attitude of cooperation among important members. Even because of these relationships, it would promote each other's trust. When the kingdom grows in the future, the title of aristocraticism will definitely be the glory of the upper class.
Smart people learn to weigh the trade-offs, and the An family is worth getting closer.
Therefore, all major families, especially those who work closely with Anfeng, will elect representatives, and the three are currently the first batch.
On the morning of the day of the enthronement ceremony, Joanna appeared in a grand dress and a crown. An Feng also wore a dress and medals. In order to give him more decorations to his chest, Joanna gave him many medals, such as the Cross Knight.
It is a serious matter for the monarch to be granted the title of hereditary nobles. It is simple in form, but the ceremony must be prepared. In addition to the queen's leadership and the witness of others, clergy must also be involved. In the new church where Joanna was crowned, a group of people who specialize in serving the royal family were selected to be responsible for religious activities such as coronation, baptism or communion, including the position of attendant for the queen's nobles.
In the luxurious and solemn reception hall, the canonization ceremony was held under the attention of relatives, friends and attendants.
Joanna, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood on the steps, and the robe behind her was holding a long sword. An Feng was on the side and looked forward with his hands behind his back. In addition to the three nobles who were about to be enthroned, relatives and friends also attended the scene. Although the ceremony was not complicated, the scene was very solemn.
The first person to accept the canonization was Matthew. He came to the queen and knelt on one knee. Joanna on the steps pulled out the long sword from the scabbard, and the tip of the sword was on his shoulder. The solemn scene was photographed by the cameraman. Matthew then swore that he was going to be loyal to the queen.
After taking the oath, the queen gently tapped her shoulder with a sword to express her entrusted responsibility, and then took back the sword, while Matthew kissed the back of her hand and completed the seal.
The process has been much streamlined, but the main forms are all. After completing the enthronement, Matthew will have a certificate issued by the royal family and a copper cross badge of Sardinia. The certificate has a detailed enthronement and title, and the information will be retained on the Internet and on paper archives.
Matthew was named Marquis, with the title of: Sinclair of Samus.
After receiving the certificate and badge, Matthew nodded to the audience with a smile.
Then the second person came to power. Since the investment bank went bankrupt and the US economy was frustrated, his focus shifted to Europe. In addition, he has German bloodline and was named a noble after naturalization, which can be regarded as a serious identity.
The third one is Roger. He is just bored, but he has a wide connection and a great influence. He was awarded the title of "Earl" from the will of the monarch, and he also gave him the title of "Earl" and kept it for his descendants in the future. He had to hurry up and cultivate his eldest son and take on the title.
Strictly speaking, the three of them were the first formal nobles of the kingdom. If they were in ancient times, with their wealth and influence, they could indeed build castles, gather people, and classify dozens of miles of land as their territory. Fortunately, they confronted the court at a critical moment...
However, modern aristocrats have no way to talk about their territory.
After completing the title of the three nobles, Joanna inserted the sword back into the scabbard, the faculty took it with respect, and then put it back to its original position, and the whole process ended.
Chapter completed!
