Sir Kennick and his subordinates arrived at the Flower Square.
This was the most prosperous area in Fragrant Velvet City, but the recent plague had temporarily concealed its prosperity.
Sir Kenneth only wanted to use this plague to drive away those damned merchants from the Frost Kingdom, and at the same time intimidate the other merchants who disobeyed him.
This way, Fragrant Velvet City would become even more prosperous.
When Sir Kennick arrived at the Flower Square, there was already a crowd gathered.
"Where did they come from?"
Sir Kennick surveyed the crowd. They were standing in the square and had no intention of going anywhere else.
"This is His Majesty's will," the messenger following Sir Kennick said.
"The King wants the commoners to watch the show? For what? "
Sir Kennick found a high vantage point in the Flower Square. A huge black wall had been erected there. The wall was so tall that everyone in the Flower Square could see it.
An image was projected onto the wall.
"Noland's … movie?" Sir Kennick looked at the image projected on the wall. He had heard of it before, but he had never seen it for himself.
Most of the commoners had never seen a movie before. The moment the image appeared on the wall, Sir Kennick could faintly hear the crowd gasping in surprise.
Soon, a line of words appeared on the wall.
"Before the advent of darkness, the world was measured by childhood's sense of hearing, smell, and sight."
"What does that mean?" Sir Kennick asked the messenger sent by the King. The messenger shook his head, indicating that he had never seen the movie before.
The line of words quickly dissipated and was replaced by a street. A group of little boys ran happily on the street.
Judging from the crowd sitting at the open-air round table, this was also a bustling city. Then, the image changed to a manor.
Servants hurriedly rolled up the stalls and placed silver knives and forks on the long table. Then, a noblewoman walked out of a magic carriage and entered the manor.
What is this … Is he showing off our noble lifestyle?
Sir Kennick wanted to laugh. He looked down on his King from the bottom of his heart.
The king of the Iron Nation was known to be a coward who was afraid of women, but on the surface, he could only obey the king's orders.
It seemed to him that this cowardly king would make such a show to show off his aristocratic lifestyle.
However, the camera quickly turned to a group apartment that was very common in the Iron Nation. A group of knights in heavy armor were rudely ordering a group of people to put their luggage onto a truck.
The scene flashed by in a flash, but Sir Kennick still frowned.
The next scene didn't make him frown. The little boy happily ran back to his home. This eight-year-old boy had an extraordinary background.
From the boy's conversation with his mother … Sir Kennick guessed that his father had been promoted, and that the king had even given him a new fief.
What followed was a celebratory ball between the nobles.
The corners of Sir Kenneth's mouth curled upwards.
"Is His Majesty trying to raise our spirits in this way?" Sir Kennick asked the messenger at his side.
A promotion, a fief, and a celebratory ball. This was undoubtedly what they wanted the most, regardless of whether they were commoners or nobles.
From this perspective, the king's intention in arranging for them to watch this show was very clear …
"Why is this little boy being shown here? Who made this? "
Sir Kennick found it strange that the main character in the camera wasn't his father who had been promoted and admired by tens of thousands of people. Instead, the focus was on the little boy.
It made Sir Kennick feel as though he was looking at the world through the boy's eyes.
But what did a boy know?
"I … I don't know either." The messenger shook his head again.
Sir Kennick could only continue to watch patiently.
After the celebratory ball, they did move to a new house, but it wasn't as luxurious as the previous manor.
The entire scene went into a cold tone, giving off a stifling feeling.
"Why are there soldiers?"
Sir Kennick asked. The barren manor wasn't surrounded by servants, but by armored soldiers.
The little boy in the movie also asked his mother the same question. He innocently asked his mother, "Who are those people in iron clothes? They look so fierce."
His mother's answer confirmed Sir Kennick's guess. They were all soldiers under the boy's father.
Soldiers … Does that mean this is the frontline of the war?
Damn it!
Sir Kenneth didn't know what the creator of the movie was thinking. If they wanted to depict a noble getting promoted on the battlefield, why did they let his father appear more often? Why did they put so much focus on this little boy?
The first ten minutes of the movie made Sir Kennick impatient.
But when the little boy in the picture went to the shuttered window on the second floor of the manor and saw a group of people standing on the grassland in the distance through the window …
Sir Kennick's expression gradually stiffened.
The scene changed again. The little boy was in his kitchen, helping his mother arrange the dishes. But when an old man walked into the kitchen with some goods, the atmosphere of the movie became gloomy.
The old man appeared to be in a state of panic. Earl Kennick's gaze was fixated on the old man's pupils, the grey pupils! The skin on the old man's neck had some signs of festering.
Damn the people of the Land of Frost! And they were infected by the plague.
The people in the kitchen became extremely uncomfortable because of the old man's appearance. The little boy's gaze finally fell on the old man's clothes, which were striped clothes.
The little boy described them as pajamas.
But Sir Kennick knew they were clothes worn by prisoners …
Is this movie promoting the dangers of the people of the Land of Frost?
This thought flashed through Sir Kennick's mind. But when he saw the old man's submissive expression and the little boy's concerned gaze, he couldn't help but feel that the old man was a villain.
No matter how he looked at it, the soldiers treated the old man viciously. No matter how he looked at it, they were like villains.
Sir Kennick understood in an instant.
"Stop!" Sir Kennick immediately ordered the knights beside him. "Tear down that wall!"
This movie wasn't praising the actions of the nobles of the Iron Nation. Instead, it was discrediting … Not just discrediting, but also trying to gain sympathy for the people of the Land of Frost.
"But Sir … This is the King …"
"I told you to tear down that wall!" Earl Kennick yelled at the knight in an unquestionable tone.
As soon as he finished his sentence, Sir Kennick felt someone choking his neck.
"Who!" He turned around angrily to see who was so daring. But the next second, he saw a face that terrified him.
Empress Yekana!
The woman who held the real power behind the scenes of the Iron Nation was now standing behind him.
"What are you doing? Empress Yekana. " Sir Kennick quickly regained his composure. He gritted his teeth, and his voice was almost squeezed out.
Although Sir Kennick was a little afraid of the Empress, he wasn't afraid of the power he held … If Empress Yekana dared to touch him, it would be equivalent to becoming the enemy of most of the nobles in the Iron Nation.
"I'll let you enjoy the show."
Empress Yekana walked behind Sir Kennick alone. Her head was covered by a hood, and no one could see her face clearly.
The surrounding knights wanted to protect Sir Kennick, but they realized they couldn't move at all.
