only god

Chapter 641: Knighthood
As soon as these words came out, Osenko's knights were suddenly shocked and opened their mouths in surprise, while the leader of the knights, Buz, was so stunned that he could not recover.

All they wanted was to pledge allegiance to the jewel of Deschanel's empire.

However, Althea asked them to swear allegiance to God.

Is this against custom?
Do not,
Not only does this not violate customs, but it is very consistent with Osenko's long-standing customs.

Not only the knights at the venue, but also the stands were in uproar one after another. People suddenly became noisy and made a fuss.

Although this was in line with custom, it was not what the people of Osenko wanted to see. The people of Osenko collectively shouted and made a noise, insisting that the knights of Osenko be loyal to the princess.

The people of Deschanel came to their senses at this time. They collectively supported the princess's decision and angrily criticized the shamelessness of the people of Osenko.

In the luxurious stands, the envoys of Osenko looked at each other, and the count of Osenko was even more shocked.

No matter who it was, they never expected that the princess would make such a choice.

Eden was also very surprised.

I vaguely guessed something, but I still didn't expect that Althea's method would be this.

Osenko's knights all turned red in the face, and the leader of the knights, Butz, was even more livid. They felt that they had been fooled, and they worked hard to win, but they couldn't get the results they wanted.

Althea had a panoramic view of the faces of the knights, and she felt dissatisfied. These Osenko knights felt that they had been fooled, but "pledge of allegiance" was not a rule of the game in the first place, and it had no legal endorsement. It was just a local customs, and himself a Deschanelian.

Now, I am happy to practice this custom, but these Osenko knights are resentful.

"Your Highness, this is against the rules!"

shouted one of the Osenko knights.

"What's the rule? Isn't this your custom?
Since we are swearing allegiance to the most noble one, why not swear allegiance to God? "

Althea paused, pretending to be pious and said:
“Compared to Him, I am nothing but rubble.”

The Osenko knights were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other, and finally turned their attention collectively to the leader, Butz.

The tall knight Buzz stood in the sun, casting a huge shadow. He stared at the princess and the guards around her with angry eyes,
"Your Highness Princess, you have played a trick on us. You clearly know that we want to swear allegiance to you!"

As soon as the words fell, the princess was greeted with a counterattack that had been prepared for a long time.

"If you pledge allegiance to me, you will make a mockery of your great customs."

Althea said politely,
"Warriors, I respect you and your customs from the bottom of my heart. If I ask you to swear allegiance, it will be called a joke. If I don't let you swear allegiance, it is not only not a joke, but also the etiquette that a foreigner should have."

At this time, the Osenko people in the stands were speechless. The princess's response was very appropriate and her words were quite logical. However, the Deschanel people were even louder, and they joined in to support the princess one after another. middle.

The Osenko knights were speechless. Each one of them was flushed with anger. The leader of the knights, Buzi, said nothing and stared at the princess with hatred. Then, he was so angry that he clenched the sword in his hand. Hammer walked over like an elephant.

Eden's eyes flickered, and he took a step forward to block Althea. The latter, after being stunned, quickly took a few steps back.

Bang, the sound of a heavy hammer breaking through the air could be heard in the air.

The war hammer fell heavily like an elephant's strong legs and feet. Iden gritted his teeth, endured the discomfort, and recited ancient sayings.

Mental shock!

The war hammer suddenly stopped when it fell halfway, and then fell down sickly, and the giant knight Butz knelt on the ground after a pause, as if losing all his strength.

Eden gasped for breath. Due to the backlash of rituals such as banning ancient words in the venue, blood oozed from his eardrums and he suffered a moderate internal injury.

…This luck… is really…

Eden lamented in his heart.

Fortunately, the bad luck coin did not make his luck extremely bad, otherwise, the war hammer would have seriously injured him.

Although the venue has restrictions prohibiting rituals and the power of spiritual shock is very weak, Knight Buzz has long been exhausted from the battle. In addition, Iden is a third-level choir member, so this giant knight fell down at once, without any trace. No power to fight back.

However, no matter what the inside story was, what the audience outside the venue saw was that Knight Buzz had no morals and blatantly wanted to hurt the princess, but was subdued by her guard with a blow.

Deschanel's people suddenly burst into cheers, many of the Osenko people who were in the wrong were ashamed, and a few Osenko people applauded the actions of the guards. For a moment, the whole audience was supporting Her Royal Highness the Princess. Decide.

Eden gasped and kept wiping the blood from his ears. His hearing was temporarily damaged and he couldn't hear the overwhelming calls clearly.

At first, people praised Eden's bravery and scolded the knight Buzz for his shamelessness. People's excitement boiled like a wild horse running wild, getting more and more intense.

People threw roses, lilies, begonias, and all kinds of flowers with unknown names on the ground. The bards wrote lyrics and sang songs on the spot, using up all their magnificent words. Under the sun, Orson The knights of Coe were left alone.

Those voices gradually began to evolve and change. People seemed to be trying hard to find the best praise and reward for this guard. Finally, someone didn't know who said, "Let him swear an oath to the princess!"

"Let him take the oath! It's like the knight has found the best rose!"

"Only he is worthy of your noble Highness!"

"Lord, have mercy on him, you have given him such happiness!"

"Let him take the oath, or let the princess take the oath to him!"

People cheered and booed, asking the guard to swear allegiance to the princess, it seemed to be a matter of course and a matter of course. If anyone between the two parties refused, then maybe even the gods would feel sad.

The Osenko envoys in the luxurious stands were a little at a loss. They found that not only the Deschanel people were heckling and swearing allegiance, but also many Osenko people were booing. They seemed to regard Eden as the real The winner is over.

The sound of the crowd was like a wave, driving the movement of the venue.

The warm sunlight was setting, a faint luster was floating in the dust, the breeze was passing by the stacks of blue mountains in the distance, and the colorful petals were falling continuously. Althea stopped talking. She slowly approached Eden and stretched out her hand. Take action.

Her Royal Highness the Princess raised her voice,

"In front of that terrible giant, you saved Deschanel's Althea and defended the glory of the church and the royal family. Please give me the kiss of peace, and I will be your patron."

Being injured, Eden couldn't hear Althea's words clearly, and the audience's words couldn't be heard very clearly either. He looked at Althea and found that the latter had a pleading look in his eyes.Althea lowered her voice and said hastily:
"Promise me, otherwise it will be difficult to explain."

Eden couldn't hear her voice, but he could read her eyes.

Are you going to offer yourself the kiss of peace?probably.

So, Eden took Althea's hand, then slightly bent his knees, and according to etiquette, placed a kiss on the back of the smooth and white hand.

Thunderous cheers broke out among the crowd. Thousands of people were shouting, singing, and offering sincere blessings. Flower petals kept falling like a storm. Some nobles who were in high spirits even dropped their heads. necklace or ring.

Finally, I don’t know who took the lead, and people’s will united in one place, chanting the motto of canonizing knights.

"The enemy is in front of you, so don't be afraid."

"Be courageous and loyal, love others and love the Lord."

"Speak out and rather die than lie."

"I swear to protect people in danger!"

At this time, people all became quiet for a moment. They held their breath and concentrated, as if they were waiting for something, looking forward to something. Everyone's eyes gathered together, as if they could shake the world.

Althea opened her mouth and said:
"Today you are made a knight!"

The crowd suddenly fell into a sea of ​​cheers.

.............................................

Of all the people, Eden was the last to know that he had been canonized as a knight.

At that time, his ears were injured because of the forced use of ancient dialects, so although he could not hear clearly what people were saying.

He looked at Althea's actions and thought he was just offering a kiss of peace. Unexpectedly, people were actually clamoring for him to be crowned a knight.

If Verdo hadn't told him face to face, he would never have thought that he would become Althea's knight.

"This, this is not in line with the rules, I am a priest."

Eden said a little confused.

"It seems that it is consistent, but it seems that it is not consistent. It seems that it is consistent with it. After all, you are a person who has been judged as a heretic. Logically speaking, you are no longer a clergyman. Of course you can become a secular knight."

Verdo thought about it carefully and said slowly.

Eden pressed his head, and then sighed,

"I had an ear injury at that time... It's getting better now. I didn't expect that people were asking me to become a knight."

The dwarf priest smiled and said,
"Aren't you satisfied? That's a princess.

How many people wanted to swear allegiance to her, and the Osenko knights were even more bloodied because of it. "

"I…"

Eden paused;
"Whatever...it's just an oath of allegiance. Anyway, we are protecting Althea at the Queen's request, aren't we?"

The oath of allegiance is actually not as binding as people think.

Among the most famous families in the empire, almost every woman has her own knight.If a knight swears an oath to an unmarried woman, it does not mean that he will become her fiancé.Instead, she often chooses someone else to be her husband, and he, despite his fidelity, does not cease to be loyal to her and marries another woman.

As a priest, Eden knew these knightly stories very well, even better than the knights.

Verdo rolled his eyes and said:

"You don't know, people will refer to the stories on the field as good stories, and the bards will sing these as legends. There is no doubt that in the eyes of everyone, you are the knight of Her Royal Highness, And Her Royal Highness the Princess is your patron."

"This...this is really..."

Thinking that he hated Althea before, Eden subconsciously said:

"This is... really bad luck."

"Not everyone has this bad luck, so get some rest."

After saying that, Verdo stood up and walked out of Eden's tent.

Eden was the only one left in the tent. The priest lay on the bed, looked at the tent absently for a while, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Pledge of allegiance...canonized as a knight...

When he was thinking of this, for some reason, the white back of his kissed hand suddenly broke into his mind.

The delicate skin, the looming blue veins, the slightly trembling young hairs, and the nails like water glass. The back of the hand that he kissed turned out to be so flawless. It seemed that he had never seen such flawless hands before.

After a while, Eden held his head and warned in a low voice:

"Stop thinking about it."

In the past, I would never have random thoughts at all. Before going to bed every night, what I thought about most, besides heresy and paganism, was theological matters.

But today, some slightly erotic reveries came to my mind.

This is really...

"Tough luck, isn't it?"
