Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong -
Chapter 1756 - Chapter 1756 Chapter 102 The Lords Blessing
Chapter 1756: Chapter 102: The Lord’s Blessing Chapter 1756: Chapter 102: The Lord’s Blessing Under the reverent gazes of the crowd, the figure that had descended from the sky slowly became clear–it was Leo Ray, who had lightly leaped down from his horse.
“Leave it to me.”
Leo Ray’s countenance was gentle, as he nodded with a smile at the middle-aged Soldier Captain.
“At your service, Mr. Lane!”
The middle-aged Soldier Captain clearly hadn’t expected Leo Ray to step into the fray personally, let alone that Leo Ray, who wielded supreme authority, would converse so amiably with someone of such lowly status as himself.
Overwhelmed with emotion, the middle-aged Soldier Captain quickly placed his hand across his chest to perform a standard Knight’s Ceremony before returning to his original position to continue maintaining order in the crowd.
At this point, the focus of the entire scene once again fell on Leo Ray and the little figure standing before him.
Under the brilliant sunlight, with the departure of the Soldier Captain who had been blocking the way in front of the little figure, the small form became increasingly clear–it was the peasant little girl who had previously slung a flower-patterned bag over her shoulder.
As everyone looked at Leo Ray and the little girl who had barred the way, the other spectators immediately fell silent, exchanging glances.
The sudden appearance of this little girl, blocking the path, was clearly beyond everyone’s expectation.
On the nobility side, despite the absence of any tyrannical Corrupt Nobles, many still showed displeasure on their faces, especially the noble young ladies, who frowned in annoyance. It was obvious they felt that the little girl had stolen their thunder and attracted Mr. Lane’s attention.
Most crucially, this was a grand triumphant ceremony held by the Kingdom, representing the dignity and solemnity of the Kingdom. How could it be disrupted by an insignificant little girl?
On the side of the Civilians, however, the scene was entirely different. The people did not show displeasure, but rather, they were filled with worry.
After all, the Royal Capital had just emerged from a brazen Power Dispute.
Those domineering Princes and nobles, in their struggle for power, had even turned entire blocks into Purgatory, drawing countless innocent Civilians into a whirlpool of blood and fire, until they were completely obliterated.
If this had happened before, then the little girl who had offended the dignity of the Nobility would certainly have faced certain death.
After all, those high and mighty Princes would never cast an additional glance at them, the Civilians, nor would they consider them significant.
Although Mr. Lane had been overwhelmingly successful, achieving miraculous victories that subdued those fearsome Princes who acted without restraint, and he had a very good reputation and freed many Free Farmers from their shackles.
But who could guarantee that the Dragon Slayer would not become an Evil Dragon in the end?
With these thoughts in mind, almost all the Civilians in the tens of thousands held their breath, their faces tinged with apprehension as they looked on.
“Lilith! Come back here!”
Especially the father of the little girl, whose face was marked with uncontrollable worry, almost collapsing to the ground.
He had wanted to pull his daughter back, but feared causing a greater commotion, so he clenched his tunic tightly, praying in his heart that his daughter would survive.
He was already on the verge of losing his wife in a coma, he could not afford to lose his only daughter as well.
In the very center of the crowd’s focus, feeling the complex gazes cast from both sides, Leo Ray slightly nodded.
Of course, he was well aware of the starkly different thoughts harbored by the Nobility and the Civilians.
Leo Ray understood clearly that although the little girl’s appearance was indeed unexpected, it also provided the best opportunity to clarify his stance.
The vast population of Civilians were the foundation of the Kingdom, the main source of its army, while the Nobility comprised the Kingdom’s elite, controlling every cog of the state machinery.
Therefore, only by making both sides feel valued was the most urgent task at hand for him, and only with a united Kingdom could he confront the threat of foreign enemies in optimal condition.
“What is your name, lovely Little Princess?”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Leo Ray’s face was still gentle, like a neighborly Big Brother as he leaned down and patiently asked the little girl.
“Big Brother, my name is Lilith.”
Feeling the gaze of all those around her, the little girl was somewhat uncomfortable; she fidgeted with her fingers and shyly looked down as she said, “Big Brother, are you the Mr. Lane who defeated the big villains and saved the Kingdom?”
“Indeed, as long as I am here, as long as the Princess is here, there will be no more big villains in the Kingdom.”
Leo Ray followed the words of the little girl named Lilith with a smiling response.
“Really? That’s wonderful!”
Lilith’s clear starry eyes lit up, and her somewhat dirty face instantly revealed a touch of excitement as she cheered and jumped for joy.
Caught up in her excitement, Lilith seemed to remember something, quickly lowered her head, and carefully opened her little fabric bag. She tenderly took out the two Emerald Laurel Leaf Headbands.
With a joyful expression, she tiptoed to hand one of them to Leo Ray, full of anticipation as she asked, “Mr. Lane, Big Brother, this is a gift I prepared early this morning for you and the Princess. Isn’t it pretty?”
“It’s very pretty. It’s the happiest thing I’ve encountered today. Thank you, Little Princess.”
Looking at the wreath carefully woven from vines and leaves in front of him, Leo Ray smiled and nodded.
