Chapter 1761: Chapter 104: The Speech of the Lord and the Princess_2 Chapter 1761: Chapter 104: The Speech of the Lord and the Princess_2 Leo Ray nodded to the benevolent old man in front of him, smiling as he spoke.
“Mr. Lane, you are too modest. I’ve only done what needed to be done. His Majesty King Ironarm has devoted his life to governance, subduing the Northern Territory abroad, extending kind policy and love for the civilians within, truly a wise monarch who deserves the favor of the gods.”
Se Wen, his face full of respect, stroked his salt-and-pepper beard, then heaved a heavy sigh, “Unfortunately, my abilities are limited, and despite trying every method I could think of, and even consulting with His Holiness the Pope, I have failed to find the crux of His Majesty King Ironarm’s illness, for which I am deeply ashamed.”
As Se Wen’s sorrowful and regretful old voice fell, Leo Ray could clearly feel Ariel Watson beside him trembling slightly, clearly reminded of her sick father lying in bed.
First, Leo Ray gently patted Princess Ariel on the shoulder, silently comforting the soon-to-be-crowned Princess of Coldflame.
Then, he turned to the aged red-robed Priest and said, “Your Excellency, the Chief Bishop, speaks too seriously. Having Your Excellency’s full efforts in treatment is an honor for My Coldflame Kingdom. The Royal Family will surely send a generous gift afterward, and we ask that you please continue your laborious support, as always, for the Royal Family.”
“Hehe, with those words from Mr. Lane, I certainly cannot refuse.”
Old Se Wen nodded at both Leo Ray and Ariel Watson, smiling as he said, “I believe that with Mr. Lane and Her Highness the Princess at the helm, Coldflame Kingdom will surely emerge from the shadows and return to the gaze of the gods in due course, and of course, My Temple of Light will also offer full support within reasonable bounds.”
“Then I must entrust this to Your Excellency, the Chief Bishop.”
After exchanging a few more courteous words with the other party, Leo Ray and Ariel Watson made their way to the VIP area’s premier position, atop a platform built by magic.
Following the procession of the triumphal ceremony, it was time for Leo Ray and Ariel Watson to give speeches to the eagerly awaiting crowd, undoubtedly the fastest way to uplift spirits.
Seeing Leo Ray and Ariel Watson in place, the Central Plaza, packed with tens of thousands, fell deathly silent, and one could see even more civilians rushing in from all directions.
“Citizens of Coldflame Kingdom, good afternoon to you all.”
Leo Ray, well-versed in public speaking, stepped forward first and announced in a clear voice, “I know that everyone here, including the entire Kingdom, has endured a dark period too hard to revisit.”
“In that time, our lion flag did not wave, high towers collapsed, and everyone struggled in the dark, with the Royal Capital sinking amidst a whirlpool of blood and fire, devoid of a glimpse of hope.”
“But after the black night comes the Dawn, and after the storm will come the rainbow. I hereby solemnly announce that the darkness has passed, there will be no more smoke of war in the Royal Capital, and this land shall forever bask under the light of Dawn and Hope!”
Accompanied by Leo Ray’s resolute words, carried throughout every corner of the Royal Capital by the sound transmission Formation, the people instantly erupted into cheers, as if a grand festival had arrived.
“…Please remember that this merit is not only from me and the Princess but also from each and everyone present. It is you who have given the Princess and me the power to move forward and fight.”
“Shout ‘Hero’, shout ‘Long live’, you are all heroes of your families, heroes of yourselves, and heroes of the Kingdom!”
“It is because of each and every one of you’s indomitable courage that a complete Coldflame Kingdom is formed, creating the everlasting glory of Coldflame Kingdom!”
As Leo Ray’s words concluded, in and beyond the Central Plaza, and along every block of the Royal Capital, whether civilians, nobility, or soldiers maintaining order, were all overwhelmed with emotion, embracing each other.
In an increasingly fervent atmosphere, Ariel Watson slowly stepped up to the center of the platform.
“Citizens of Coldflame Kingdom, just as my envoy has said, your courage touches me and is the source of my strength. Coldflame Kingdom will surely prosper and strengthen because of you!”
Princess Ariel’s steady and clear voice rose, resonating in the ears of everyone in the Royal Capital.
“As your Princess and as the soon-to-be-crowned Monarch, I promise you here, all of you shall be protected by the Royal Family, stand tall under the banner of Xiong Shi, and your enemies will be the enemies of the Royal Family!”
“…And whether nobles or civilians, those who dare to trample upon the precepts of His Majesty the Heroic King, those who dare to challenge the authority of the Royal Family, will face the thunderous wrath of the Royal Family, and I will show no mercy!”
Ariel Watson’s words thus far swept meaningfully across the assembly of foreign diplomats as she continued in a stern voice,
“The slumbering lion has awakened. Any force that dares to infringe upon the sovereignty of the Coldflame Kingdom will face the lion’s wrath and claws in battle, unrelenting until death!”
“…Lastly, please remember that the royal family and the nobility are forever the shield that protects the civilians, not the sword that stabs at them. I am willing to be that shield and protect every individual within the Coldflame Kingdom!”
As soon as Ariel Watson finished, the entire Royal Capital erupted once again.
Everyone was clear that with their Princess, no, their soon-to-be-crowned Queen’s declaration, bolstered by the support of Mr. Lane,
this fragmented realm would soon return to its peak, becoming the center of all Human various countries, and even more formidable!
Even if foreign enemies coveted them, so what? As long as the Kingdom was united, no one could defeat this newly awakened lion!
In that moment, whether it was the nobles in the VIP area or the mass of people surrounding them, everyone was buoyed up by enthusiasm, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
Seeing how Leo Ray and Ariel Watson effortlessly took control, the foreign diplomats, although still maintaining a benign smile on their faces, were all secretly pondering.
It was not hard to see that the insight and skill of these two were far superior to those of the failing Princes and could even be compared with the most sagacious Monarchs of the Coldflame Kingdom.
Given time, they would undoubtedly become a significant concern for the other Human kingdoms, not to mention the unfathomable abilities of that Mr. Lane from the Otherworld.
“We must report back immediately; any delay is a risk we cannot afford to ignore,” they thought, echoing Princess Cold Flame’s words that the sleeping lion had indeed bared its teeth.
While the diplomats were contemplating, they subtly nodded to their attendants, who immediately understood and began to prepare the means to convey back the intelligence.
Amidst the jubilant crowd, these discreet exchanges went unnoticed as if nothing had happened.
Following this, Leo Ray and Ariel Watson, along with the nobles and guests, hosted a rather splendid military parade.
It was attended not only by the Soldiers brought by Leo Ray but also by the might of the Royal Army Corps and the Imperial Guard Legion.
Naturally, the sight of the steel-clad, uniform array stirred yet another round of cheers from the crowd.
By sunset, Leo Ray and Ariel Watson, having bid farewell to the nobles and guests, headed for the Court in the center of the Royal Capital, guided by Youwu.
The slanting sun cast everything in a warm orange hue, and soon, a castle within the city, with tall walls and deep moats, came into view for Leo Ray.
“Is this the seat of the Royal Family?”
Looking towards the approaching towering City Wall, Leo Ray, mounted on his horse, nodded slightly.
Upon the wall dense with Arrow Towers, the flag of the Royal Family featuring the lion flapped in the wind, and the ceaseless motion of patrolling Soldiers made the scene staggering.
And beyond the walls, a semi-transparent Defensive Barrier flickered with iridescent light, intermittently visible – the Absolute Defense Barrier covering the Coldflame Palace.
Compared to ordinary citadels, not only did this city within a city appear much more formidable, but it also exuded an aura of profound solemnity, commanding an instinctive respect.
“I have never felt such a profound sense of reverence before.”
Leo Ray’s gaze moved over the massive city bathed in the sunset, with his face showing an increasingly obvious look of curiosity.
