The Royal Palace of Saint Mestre was built a thousand years ago. When humans first arrived in the West, the Holy City of Lorraine was still one of the major hubs of the human race. It was used as a temporary command post. Later, after the founding of the Theocracy, it was converted into a royal palace. It was one of the oldest buildings in the country.
Being old meant being culturally profound, but physically, it meant being old. However, the Royal Palace of Saint Mestre had been renovated several times over the past thousand years. It had even been rebuilt once due to a great fire. The most recent renovation was a few decades ago. Therefore, it did not look like an ancient building. Instead, it looked very grand.
The overall tone of the palace was holy white. According to legend, it was the color of angel feathers that the architects had carefully mixed. Although Luo Ya did not know where the workers saw the angel feathers, the visual effect was indeed very good. It had a special sense of holiness.
The design concept of the palace was also very straightforward. It was simple and elegant. To some extent, this style also reflected the style of the royal family. The Heathcliff family valued holiness as their beauty, so naturally, they did not have any fancy decorations.
In the lounge of the palace, Luo Ya, who had just finished his tour of the palace for the first time, was drinking tea. He was thinking about the entire process of the ceremony over and over in his mind.
"By the way, is the Saint's dagger finally going to be returned to me?"
The teenager muttered to himself, unconsciously touching the side of his waist.
More than half a month ago, when he and Nuo Aier returned, although they were both unconscious, they had established a spell connection through the dagger. Bishop Philip did not dare to act rashly, so he summoned the people of the Holy Ceremonial Court. This group of people specialized in all kinds of ritual spells and could be considered experts in this field.
After that, the two were sent to the Vatican for separate treatment. Those who did not know the details of the dagger thought that it belonged to Nuo Aier, so it did not follow Luo Ya back to Akat's house.
It was said that a blade was a warrior's lover. Although Luo Ya was not a warrior, he missed his battle partner very much. After all, the Holy One's dagger had saved his life several times in critical moments. Moreover, it was a dagger that had been opened by the Nuo Aier and his blood. It could be considered as a bond between the two of them. Now that it was about to be returned to its rightful owner, he was naturally happy.
The main event of today's event started from the ceremony to Luo Ya receiving the protection of the royal family in front of everyone. After that, it was time for the banquet. There were not as many nobles in attendance as there were during the birthday banquet because most of the nobles in the various territories had gone back home to celebrate the New Year. After all, no matter how prosperous the Holy Capital was, they were still guests. It was not as comfortable as being the master of a territory.
However, Luo Ya felt that this was a good thing. This time, most of the court nobles, military personnel, and knights were his own people. The atmosphere was much better than last time.
"Lord Luo Ya, the ceremony is about to begin. Please follow me."
"Okay."
Hearing the servant's reminder, the young man nodded and was led to the entrance of the banquet hall. Stepping on the bright red carpet and looking at the beautifully decorated door, Luo Ya could not help but smile bitterly. He realized that he had unknowingly arrived at a very powerful place.
The Saint Cecil Hall was a place that, together with the large square in front of the Holy Capital's Saint Faro Cathedral, were known as the two holy places. Needless to say, the square was a place where the Vatican led people to pray every year. As for the hall in front of him, it was because of its long history and user.
The Saint Cecil Hall was built at the same time as the royal palace. It had a history of nearly a thousand years. When the Theocracy was announced, the Five Great Nobles were enfeoffed in this hall. Most of the people who had walked into this hall over the past thousand years were heroes of their generation, generals who had made outstanding achievements on the battlefield, ministers who had led the successful reforms, and even Pont, the ancestor who was bestowed the title of Luo Ya by the Queen of Wei Duoliya, was here.
"I didn't expect that this place would be used …"
Luo Ya swallowed his saliva and suddenly felt that something was wrong with this ceremony. At first, Luo Ya thought that this was just a necessary procedure because of the agreement from a thousand years ago, just like cutting the ribbon at a construction site, but now the situation was …
This was not cutting the ribbon, this was the posture of a National Day parade.
Standing on the path of glory of the ancestors, Luo Ya was a little nervous. The old butler beside him also obviously noticed this, but unlike his usual cold and indifferent attitude towards the nobles, today the old butler of the royal family was like a spring breeze, and his face was smiling like a chrysanthemum flower.
"Lord Luo Ya, please don't be nervous. You are the youngest protagonist of the Saint Cecil Hall so far. You should be proud."
Wang Laoju comforted him cheerfully. As soon as the words left his mouth, not only did Luo Ya not feel better, but his stomach also started to hurt. He glanced at the old butler and could not help but praise him in his heart.
As expected of the butler of the royal family, this way of comforting was taught by Nuo Aier, right?
Luo Ya naturally had to make up for it when he realized that he was out of the scope of the exam, and at the same time, he crazily prepared himself mentally.
As usual, he walked with balanced breathing first, and put on the medal of honor. Other than Nuo Aier, there were only cabbages and radishes. He did not even look at them!
After making all the preparations, Luo Ya took a few deep breaths and adjusted himself to the best state. As soon as he finished adjusting, the bell in the butler's hand automatically rang without any wind. After the guards heard it, they prepared to open the door.
"Lord Luo Ya, please come in."
After the guards greeted him, they slowly opened the two arched doors that were several meters high. At the same time, the angel above the door emitted a burst of colorful light, and at the same time, pure white feathers fluttered in the air. Luo Ya was stunned for a moment.
Colorful light? Feathers? What's going on?
Am I an SSR in a random card game?
The black-haired teenager was surprised by the gorgeous entrance, but he did not know that this was just the beginning. After the spacious door was opened, the bright hall was immediately filled with cheers and applause. The number of people far exceeded Luo Ya's expectations. Just the number of people on both sides of the carpet was estimated to be more than a hundred.
What the hell? Is this "just some nobles from the palace"?
Recalling the words that Prince Kai Yin relayed to Ka Diya, Luo Ya was dumbfounded. There were at least a thousand people on both sides of the carpet, right?
