Chapter 435: Catherine’s Return
Although Lao Xie was impatient with such mundane matters, no matter what, the emperor came to greet him in person, but Lao Xie couldn't just leave. What's more, the fat man who stayed here is also here. As little Stephen's nominal father, Lao Xie has to give him some face even if he doesn't want to give him face. In desperation, Lao Xie had to temporarily let go of "Revelation" and began to cooperate with the emperor in carrying out complicated rituals.
After barely dealing with Emperor Wan, Lao Xie hid in the magic tower in the name of seclusion to recuperate. No other dignitaries were seen at all.
Of course, the two confidantes Konstani and Vivian are exceptions. Konstani directly accompanied Lao Xie to live in the magic tower. Although Vivian was not embarrassed to move in, she changed her mind. I went to the Magic Tower to visit Lao Xie several times in person.
In fact, this is normal. The so-called beauties love heroes. Even though Lao Xie is not good-looking and even had a duel with Vivian's brother once before, he is the hero who saves the continent after all! He successfully killed the Lich King and saved at least tens of millions of human lives. Based on this, he suddenly became the object of admiration for almost all the young girls on the continent.
This is especially true for aristocratic girls like Vivian who have been poisoned by chivalry novels. When she heard that Lao Xie had done such a big thing, she almost couldn't believe it. And when she thought that she had become a nominal couple with such a hero, she felt that her whole body was filled with happiness. He even forgot about his brother being beaten.
Katz is naturally happy to see Vivian's performance. But Vivian's elder brother and younger brother are no longer as disgusted as before. After all, they are also members of human beings, and coming from military families, they also worship heroes very much. People like Lao Xie who have made great achievements at a young age will naturally win their respect.
Carlos was once beaten so hard by Lao Xie that he couldn't get up for several months. He even took the initiative to ask his sister Vivian to bring Lao Xie an apology, which was obviously a sign of resignation. For this reason, Lao Xie was also very pleased. In fact, he didn't particularly hate Carlos. After all, Carlos was just a pedantic knight. Although that kind of chivalry was useless in Lao Xie's eyes, Lao Xie still had a lot of hatred for those people. Orthodox knights who can always uphold the spirit of chivalry are highly regarded.
So. After receiving the message from Carlos, Lao Xie immediately made a gesture of goodwill. Let Vivian bring back a magic explosion spider that has evolved to level 6 as compensation for the last duel, because in that duel, Carlos’s mount, the level 5 monster Raging Rhinoceros, was killed by Lao Xie, which made Lao Xie kill him. Carlos felt really sad for a long time.
But Lao Xie now gave him a better mount, and Carlos was naturally very excited. I even felt secretly grateful to Lao Xie. The unhappiness of the past suddenly disappeared.
Lao Xie spent a comfortable life in the Magic Tower for a while, but with the return of the old mage and Catherine, his good days finally came to an end.
After all, this expedition to the Empire of Light has achieved a world-renowned achievement, and the Griffin Kingdom must definitely celebrate it. The previous actions to welcome Lao Xie were just a prelude. The real climax occurs when the main force returns.
Undoubtedly, as the commander who directly killed the Lich King, Catherine will once again be the protagonist of crazy celebrations. This time. The number of people just welcoming them was hundreds of thousands, and the city couldn't hold them at all. In the end, they had to hold the official homecoming welcome ceremony at the Magic Academy. Take advantage of the spacious training ground.
Almost all the respectable people in the Griffin Kingdom are here, and even the nobles from other places are here. There are tens of thousands of these nobles alone, plus the servants, the audience, etc., it is simply... There are so many people. The Magic Academy, which occupies half of the mountain, was almost completely packed.
The ceremony was very lively. When Catherine presented the trophies, the golden skeleton corpse of the Lich King and his damaged robe of the Lich King, to the emperor. Hundreds of thousands of people present cheered in unison, almost to the point of breaking the sky.
At this moment, Princess Catherine's heroic and upright figure was immediately deeply remembered by everyone present.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the emperor burst into tears of excitement. Even though he had been emperor for so many years, he had never experienced anything like this. And what excited him the most was. Just relying on the honor that Catherine brought him. He will definitely become a wise king who will go down in history forever, which also makes Zhengchou have no achievements to pass down to future generations. I finally got my wish.
Most of those who came to the rematch had a good impression of Catherine and expressed their heartfelt congratulations to her for this great achievement.
However, there are still some people who hold a grudge against this, and the one who hates it the most is of course the Third Prince. Since he was blinded in one eye by Catherine, he has hired countless skilled therapists, but in the end they were unable to cure him. Because Catherine's fighting spirit is extremely special, it was specially created for her by his master Sword God Dongfang Bubai based on Catherine's physical characteristics. Not only does it have the characteristics of the Chaos God System, but it also has a special power that comes with Catherine's wings. It can be said that this is Catherine's unique special fighting spirit. His attributes are extremely special, just like a ball of brown sugar. Once hit, it will stick to the wound and will not let you use light spells to treat it. It is extremely annoying.
The third prince who eventually became a one-eyed dragon was certainly not in a good mood, because this disability not only weakened his strength, but most importantly, greatly reduced his chances of inheriting the great treasure. After all, the king of a country represents the majesty of the country. It would not be good if a one-eyed dragon was appointed to the throne. Is that simply a disgrace to the country?
So when he thought about this, the third prince couldn't help but get angry. In addition, Catherine not only successfully escaped responsibility, but also made great achievements in the undead disaster, and finally returned triumphant, which suddenly made her reputation soaring. This made the third prince even more jealous. So much so that after he got the news, he couldn't help but went crazy and slashed several servants around him to death with his sword on the spot.
Of course, this matter was soon known to the emperor. He was so angry that he called the third prince over and cursed him. He also compared Catherine with him. Later, he threatened that if he didn't restrain himself, he would give up the first line of succession to Catherine.
In the end, the queen came forward, crying and making trouble, and it was finally over. But this has left a deep shadow in the third prince's heart.
Today, I saw Catherine so popular with everyone, I saw the emperor moved to tears, and I saw the father and daughter hugging each other in excitement. The third prince's original hope finally died. He couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile on his face, and at the same time he said to himself, 'Huh, dear father, it seems that I have been completely abandoned by you. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! ’
The two of them, immersed in the rare love between father and daughter, naturally knew nothing about the third prince's psychological changes and continued to go their own way. After accepting the bones of the Lich King presented by Catherine, the Emperor then announced a reward for Catherine.
In general, it is the title of 'Princess Protecting the Country'. Although Catherine was also an official princess before, the meaning of this title is completely different.
Ordinary princesses do not have any rights to participate in political affairs. They have a special honor and do not have any real power except being able to enjoy royal treatment. And if the princess wants to participate in politics, she must give up her identity as a princess and join as a member of the ordinary nobles. In fact, the prince is the same.
For example, the third prince enjoys the treatment of a prince, but it is impossible for him to directly enter any government department as a prince, so he will not be able to get along with his superiors. So when he was in office, he was still the same as an ordinary noble. Start from a low-level position first, and through a period of experience, gradually be promoted to the chief officer.
Of course, as a prince, he is treated differently from others. At least the speed of improvement can be described as a rocket. He could be promoted to an official position that others took decades of experience to achieve in just a few months. But no matter what, during his tenure, the third prince could only be an ordinary nobleman and no longer a prince. Only after he is removed from public office will his status as a prince be restored. This is also a special provision made to prevent princes from using their status to mess up national affairs.
However, after Catherine accepted the title of 'Princess Protector', she was completely different. Because this title is a formal title earned through hard work, even if Catherine works in various departments, she can still use the title of princess. As soon as he came up, he could be on equal footing with the chief officials of various departments, or even be a step ahead. Having such a Shangfang sword will be of great help to Catherine in controlling the entire national machine in the future.
From this perspective, it seems that the emperor really has the intention to pass the throne to Catherine. Of course, this is just a guess. No one knows what the emperor was thinking. Or maybe he was just following Catherine's lead in polishing the third prince, and the person who would actually pass the throne in the future would be his own son.
As for the emperor's thoughts, the people below will of course have to work hard to guess, because if they are in the wrong team, it may be a disaster for them.
In addition to this title, the emperor also gave Catherine a quota of 5,000 men and allowed her to form an army of her own. This is also a great approach. In fact, the emperor was originally unwilling to let Catherine control the army, but he had no choice. The Bright Empire had given an army to him, so naturally he couldn't be stingy. That’s too unreasonable! Besides, Catherine is now considered a general who has made military achievements, so she can’t just take back her military power, right? That would be a punishment, not a reward. So out of desperation, the emperor had to ask Catherine to form an army of her own.
