Chapter 536 Giving up power
In the banquet hall.
Once a beautiful village woman, Elkroë put on gorgeous clothes. Although her appearance had lost its luster with the passage of time, her son Egbert won her status and glory.
King Hoffman of Ogilar was sitting next to her. Elkroy could not see a trace of past affection from this majestic man, but the joy and happiness in his eyes were real.
She understood that she was old and had long lost the reason to be loved by the king, but it didn't matter, she just needed to spend the rest of her life slowly enjoying the glory and wealth.
The yearning for love has long been erased by time.
It's almost time.
The dignitaries of the entire Ogilar Royal City are already in place.
Today's situation is special, in order to pave the way for the prince.
For the first time, King Hoffmann even allowed a businessman who he considered extremely humble to attend the birthday party.
"Everyone!" King Hoffman stood up holding a wine glass and announced with a graceful face: "Today is a lucky day, because I found the prince of our Ogilar Empire!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live Oguilar!"
Everyone knows what King Hoffman needs.
So no one will be stingy with their applause and cheers.
Hoffmann was very satisfied with the response of his subjects.
He raised his chin proudly and said again:
"Although today is not the prince's birthday, it is a new life for the Ogilar Empire. Therefore, I am willing to take today, the day when the empire is reborn, as the prince's birthday. This means that the future king of Ogilar, I will live as long as my country!”
Another burst of cheers came from below.
King Hoffman felt even more comfortable.
In the past, when he was a king, the ministers around him respected him very much.
But he knew very well that in places where he couldn't see, these subjects were definitely planning him.
After all, no prince or princess has been born in more than ten years, and he changes to a different woman every day.
At first, the reason could be blamed on those women, but as time went by, everyone knew that it was him, the king, who couldn't do it.
He could often see his subjects looking at him with pity, as if to say, so what if you are a king? It's not like you can't give birth.
In this case.
King Hoffman could only break his teeth and swallow it in his mouth.
After all, no matter how unreasonable he is, he cannot convict other ministers just because of a look. This will only make the already mixed dignitaries even more confused.
Now he is still a sixth-level gold knight, and he can still hold on for a few more years. At least in these few years, he hopes to still enjoy women and wealth.
This is why he began to pay attention to the training of Freya and Noren after despair. Although these two are princesses, they have extraordinary talents. If they are trained, they can stabilize his current position, and if they fail, they can take over.
Of course, no matter what, Freya and Noren were forced to make helpless choices.
Now that Egbert has appeared, he is already a Silver Knight at a young age, and he is handsome, behaves well, and has learned all kinds of noble etiquette very well, then the power and resources of the entire Ogilar should be given to Egbert. Gerbert tilted.
As for Freya and Noren, it’s time to give way.
But King Hoffman felt that Freya and Noren were not useless.
They can become prince's women.
Freya is a warrior of magic, complementing Egbert of the Silver Knight, while Noren is clever and good at strategy, and can just assist Egbert in governing. The three of them combined can also ensure the royal bloodline. Absolutely pure.
King Hoffman thinks.
There is nothing more appropriate than this.
Egbert was simply a gift from the gods!
With this thought, Hoffman felt more and more comfortable. He announced loudly: "Now! I want to invite my handsome and brave son, Prince Egbert!"
"Boom!" The palace door opened.
Everyone cheered and turned to look towards the entrance of the palace.
I saw a tall young knight wearing heavy silver armor walking in with a calm and vigorous pace.
He did not wear a helmet, and his flaxen curly hair reached just to his ears and was trimmed into a wave-like texture, giving him a romantic feel.
His face is handsome and angular, and you can vaguely see the appearance of King Hoffmann when he was young. The most eye-catching thing is the pair of sea-blue eyes, cold and elegant, which seem to penetrate people's eyes.
Soul, but behind the indifference emerges warm and lively emotions.
This is a pair of charming eyes.
It can completely take away the souls of little girls.
"I want to be his mistress!"
An aristocratic lady could hardly suppress the longing in her heart, even if her husband was by her side.
"He is such a lovely person... If I could spend a good night with him, it would be worth dying~"
Another lady also echoed in agreement.
The private lives of the nobles were chaotic, especially in Oguilar, where it was very common for the powerful to influence each other and exchange wives.
They call this kind of depraved and absurd behavior fun, so the people around them will not only not criticize the two ladies for being unfaithful, but will also respond with a playful smile.
"Father!"
Egbert walked up to King Hoffmann and knelt on one knee respectfully.
He is so humble.
His eyes were full of sincerity. Even though he was about to become the first heir of Oguilar, no one could see even a little bit of pride in his expression.
"My son has the appearance of an emperor!"
The more King Hoffman looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he couldn't help but praise it.
Egbert is more promising than when he was young, and his temperament is more noble, so he also has more expectations for Egbert.
If you want to become a great emperor, you must at least reach the level of King Airland, have a vast empire territory, and secondly, you must have at least three vassal countries.
Anyway, he will probably have enough trouble in this life, and at most he will annex one Andrius, but he can look forward to Egbert.
In the face of King Hoffman's praise.
Egbert remained humble.
"Father, you are very grateful, mainly because your bloodline is noble enough!"
Look what this says.
King Hoffmann laughed heartily and his eyebrows were filled with joy.
He dragged Egbert up, and then put the crown that had been prepared on Egbert's head. This crown was designed after his king's crown, but it was slightly smaller.
King Hoffmann's actions are telling everyone in disguise that the entire Ogilar will belong to Egbert from now on.
"Krech, come here."
After putting the crown on Egbert, King Hoffmann shouted to the sword master.
Krech's face didn't look good, but he still came to the king.
"From today on, you and the royal guards under your command will all fall under Egbert's command. From now on, his orders will be my orders!"
Kraihe frowned upon hearing this.
Originally, she and the royal guards under her command obeyed the orders of the eldest princess Freya.
And Krach also likes the gentle and generous Freya very much.
Now the king actually wants to give these powers to an illegitimate son whom he has only known for less than a day!
This made Krach, who had been following Freya for a long time, feel uncomfortable.
Chapter completed!
