When he heard Vera call her 'aunt', Colin came to a realization.
The Empress of the Radiant Empire was the sister of the Duke Of St. Hilde.
It was said that before the Empress was married, her beauty was already the best in the Northern Frontier. Countless nobles flocked to her and pursued her crazily.
However, the most charming flower in the Northern Frontier was eventually plucked by the Emperor of the Radiant Empire.
Empress Medella had a good reputation in the Empire. She was noble and elegant, kind, devout, and had given birth to a son and a daughter for the Emperor. She could be said to be a model Empress.
"Quick, Colin, let's go and welcome my aunt!" Vera lifted her skirt and trotted forward.
Colin hurriedly followed her. Seeing her excited appearance, he asked curiously, "Are you that close to the Empress?"
"Yes! In my heart, my aunt is a perfect lady. She is my idol! "
When the two of them arrived at the main gate of the castle, a large number of nobles had already gathered there.
Even the Duke Of St. Hilde came to welcome his sister in person.
The sound of hooves could be heard clearly, and then a neat convoy gradually appeared in front of everyone.
Eight knights in red full body armor rode at the front of the convoy.
Each of them held a white flame flag in their hands. That was the emblem of the Imperial Family — the San Lorenzo family.
Unlike the ordinary nobles who generally used animals as their family emblem, the symbol of the Imperial Family was a burning flame.
More than a thousand years ago, this humble flame swept across the entire continent with the force of a prairie fire, burning all the large and small human kingdoms at that time. It ended the history of the human race being fragmented and established a unified empire.
A luxurious carriage slowly drove into the castle gate.
A knight personally opened the magnificent golden wooden door of the carriage and welcomed a beautiful noble lady out.
In an instant, the whole castle seemed to be illuminated by her brilliance.
"Your Highness!"
The nobles who came to welcome her bowed.
Colin quietly raised his head and looked at the beautiful Empress.
She wore a red low-cut spider silk robe, and her golden hair casually draped over her fair shoulders like a waterfall. Her watery eyes were like a bottomless pool of water.
It reflected the primitive desire that every man dared not speak of in the deepest part of their hearts.
Colin hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look again.
"Brother, you've gained weight again!"
The Empress' voice was soft and sweet, as if she was acting coquettishly to her lover.
"Hahaha!" The Duke Of St. Hilde laughed out loud and rubbed his round belly. "I can't compete with the previous Dukes Of The North in terms of achievements, so I have to work on my weight."
The Empress smiled before she looked at Vera who was standing behind the Duke. "Vera, come over here."
Vera quickly stepped forward and held the Empress' hand. She smiled and said, "Auntie, you are still so beautiful!"
When the Empress heard Vera's words, she smiled and tidied up Vera's hair. She shook her head and said, "Auntie is already old, unlike you who is still in your prime. I believe that after this coming of age ceremony, there will be countless noble men who will crazily pursue you. "
In fact, the Empress was not that old. She was just over thirty years old and was in the most perfect period of a woman's life.
She was still young and inexperienced, but her mature charm was already quietly blooming.
When she stood next to Vera, they did not look like aunt and niece at all. Instead, they looked more like sisters.
"No," Vera blushed and shook the Empress' arm gently. "I don't want to get married so early!"
"Okay, okay. If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. Let those men suffer for a few more years. "
The two beauties talked and laughed as they walked into the castle. Colin secretly admired the genes of the House of Saint Hilde as he peeked at them.
When she arrived in front of Marquis García, Empress Mydella tilted her head slightly and said with a smile, "Second brother, do you still not like to smile?"
The corners of Marquis García's mouth twitched and he said helplessly, "Your Highness, I am already smiling."
The Empress shook her head. She was a little helpless when it came to this stubborn man. She had no choice but to change the topic.
"I heard that you have won another battle recently. The three hundred thousand troll army was completely wiped out. Such a great victory has not been seen on the Northern Frontier for a long time.
His Majesty was also very happy when he heard the news. Therefore, he specially ordered me to bring you his reward.
However, tomorrow is Vera's coming of age ceremony. I will give you the reward after that.
After all, we cannot steal the limelight from our little princess! "
"Okay." Marquis García nodded indifferently.
"Auntie! I am not a princess. Besides, I don't need to worry about uncle stealing the limelight. "Vera protested as she shook the Empress' arm shyly.
The Empress patted Vera's little hand gently and comforted the spoiled little girl.
Then, she glanced at the crowd and asked strangely, "Why don't I see Charles?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little stagnant.
The Duke Of St. Hilde chuckled and explained, "Charles is guarding the border."
"He can't even come back to attend his sister's coming of age ceremony?"
"No, he can't." The Duke's voice was as hard as iron. "He must pay the price for his mistakes. As long as he does not break through the troll's city, he will not be able to return to Winter City."
The Empress sighed and turned to look at Adams who was behind the Duke. "Do you think that father's punishment for your brother is appropriate?"
Marquis Adams immediately straightened his back and said loudly, "I think that father is doing this for my brother's good! What he needs the most now is atonement. "
The Empress chuckled and the look in her eyes was a little complicated.
She gently raised her hand and stroked Adams' cheek and whispered, "Then you have to be careful. The more power you want, the more responsibility you have to bear. The position of Marquis is not so easy to bear. "
"Auntie, rest assured! I will try my best to do my best! Moreover, as a member of the House of Saint Hilde, I have long been ready to bear any hardships and hardships! "
The Empress smiled and turned to the Duke. "Adams is really the son who is most like you."
The Duke also smiled, but he did not comment on this sentence.
When Marquis Adams heard the Empress' praise, he suddenly became excited and straightened his back.
"Wow, our Joyce has grown so tall?" The Empress looked at the Duke's youngest son and said in surprise.
"Yes, auntie. Welcome back to the Lion's Roar Castle. "Joyce was still a little reserved.
When Mydella married into the royal family, Joyce was still young, so this beautiful aunt was a little unfamiliar to him.
The Empress smiled and touched Joyce's hair. Then, she walked past the Saint Hilde family and greeted the rest of the nobles.
"Thank you for welcoming me!
As a member of the House of Saint Hilde, I also welcome you to the Lion's Roar Castle!
I hope that you can enjoy a wonderful and happy time here!
Also, I hope that you can witness my niece's —
Vera Saint Hilde's coming of age ceremony. "
After saying this, the Empress and the Duke Of Saint Hilde walked side by side into the castle.
The main characters were all present.
The ceremony was about to begin.
