298. Sages’ Meeting
A day later, Rowe, Yukinoshita Yukino, Nayuki Ang, Emilia, and Rem took a carriage and left Roswaal’s mansion and arrived at the capital.
As a count, Roswaal naturally had his own villa in the capital.
Rowe and his party settled in this villa, waiting for the start of the royal election.
Soon, the day of the royal election arrived.
Rowe, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Nayuki Ang entered the palace with Emilia as knights.
Several people walked on the passage leading to the center of the royal city. On the left and right sides of the passage where paintings and artworks were displayed were fully armed guards, holding swords, and their eyes were all focused on Emilia.
Many people looked at each other with disgust or fear.
The end of this road was a huge double-door panel.
The closed door gave off a solemn atmosphere that overwhelmed the viewer, giving people a feeling of awe.
“I’ve been waiting for a long time, Lady Emilia.”
The soldier standing in front of the gate took a step forward and saluted Emilia standing in front of him with a sword. The fully armed body took off the helmet and stared at Emilia and Luo Wei with a rational look.
The man was about forty years old, and his appearance was more serious than the 707-starts. His face, like a rock sculpture, was stern, making people feel that he was a soldier who had experienced many battles.
Emilia said, “They are my knights.”
The man nodded, and when he looked at the door, the door slowly opened, “Everyone is waiting inside, please come in as soon as possible.”
Emilia hummed, and led everyone through the gate and walked in.
The first thing that caught my eye was the vast space covered with red carpet, the walls were decorated with gorgeous lights, and the luxurious chandeliers hung from the high ceiling.
In contrast to the spacious interior, there were few items inside. The most eye-catching place was the back of the room – there were chairs at a slightly higher place, five on each side, and one in the middle.
If you sit on the chair at the back, there will be a wall with a dragon pattern behind you, which makes you look like you are carrying the dragon and being protected by the dragon.
This is probably the throne room of the royal city. In that case, the chair must be the throne of Lugnica.
Then, Luo Wei looked around.
Unlike the outside, there was not even a single guard with a sword inside. Instead, there were elite soldiers wearing white uniforms and knight swords on their waists – the knights of the Royal Guards.
Further inside were people wearing formal attire, who looked like civil servants, and people who seemed to be of high status based on their attire. They were all outstanding people who were qualified to be in the throne room.
Then in the center of the room, a little away from the knights and nobles, there were a few people standing side by side. These people were all participants in the royal election.
Then, several people walked to their seats and stood down.
A solemn voice sounded.
“Everyone present has gathered, and the Sages will enter next.”
The gate opened again, and several elderly elders entered in a line, led by the knight in armor waiting in front of the gate.
All the elderly were dressed in clothes that matched their status and the venue. Even from their movements and demeanor, they could feel their majesty and deep experience.
The most eye-catching one among them was a white-haired man with a beard that almost dragged on the ground.
Although he was not hunchbacked, he was still a head shorter than Subaru. There were deep wrinkles on his face, which made people especially aware of his age in the group, but his eyes implied that it was reminiscent of the sharpness of a blade.
“That one is the representative of the Sages – that is, the person with the most say in Lugnica, which is now without a king. Lord Miklotov is – also. ”
The person who said this was none other than Roswaal who rushed over from the middle territory.
After all, it was a royal election, and a border earl like Roswaal could not fail to attend.
What’s more, he was still a supporter of Emilia on the surface.
Yukinoshita Yukino (bgdi) said: “I remember the Sages’ Association, which is a group that manages the country on behalf of the king.”
“In name, it is an assistant. Now the actual operation of the country also relies on the Sages’ Association… Having said that, there has not been much change since the royal family still existed. ”
After saying these extremely disrespectful words, Roswaal shrugged his shoulders. This is mainly because the real power of the country has always been in the hands of the Sages since the time of the previous king who lacked the ability to promote the country.
In short, the Sages are like the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, with huge power.
It has even reached the point of undermining the emperor.
At this moment, a voice came.
“The exchange of opinions ends here, Lady Emilia, the parliament has begun, please go to the center. ”
Emilia hurriedly walked up.
Rovi looked over and saw the seats surrounding the throne in front of him. The empty seats were filled by the old men from the Sages’ Association, leaving only the throne in the middle where only the king could sit.
Then, neatly lined up in front of the old men from the Sages’ Association were beings who were born to shine and were known to others.
There was no doubt that this was the candidate for the King’s Election.
Standing in the middle was a very dazzling woman. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
