Refuse To Bind The System, Meet God At The Corner
Chapter 69 The Beauty Of Adulthood
Two months after the new king ascended the throne, at noon, in the palace of the Olfsmann Palace.
The huge oval long table divides the members of the temple and the elders into two sides. They are headed by Saint Darian and Crown Prince Edward respectively, each representing the "battle" and "sword" of the Holy Tree Royal Court. This situation is similar to several The late-night meeting a month ago that no one remembers was very similar, but this meeting was very different from that one.
The dusty throne at the end of the long table was originally empty, but now there was a human in gray-white robes sitting there. Compared with the elves present, especially compared with the two sitting on his left and right hands, his appearance is so mediocre, but he who can sit on the throne is definitely the master of the entire Holy Tree Royal Court. The elves in the World Tree and the Holy Tree are the most closely connected powerful beings.
The current Holy Tree Elf King, Nalan Shu.
It's just that His Majesty the Elf King, who was showing off in his original human form, was sitting in a posture that was not majestic at all. He propped his chin and glanced at the ministers below. He looked bored and seemed a little impatient.
Darian and Edward, as well as the priests and elders sitting on his left and right sides, all had their heads lowered and did not say a word.
"Didn't you ask me to come to the meeting?" Nalan Shu knocked on the table with his fingers, "Happy" written all over his face, "If you have something to do, please leave early."
Ever since he became the Elf King of the Holy Tree, he would come to this place every day and stare at the elves below, sitting there doing nothing; sometimes the priests and elders below would be there. They quarreled over various things, and after the quarrel, they presented the results to him, looking at themselves sincerely, and saying something like "King, please make a decision."
But how could they know how Nalan Shu, a student who was still studying, could understand these things. What about "taxation", what about "personnel transfer", and what about "sacrifice matters"... Nalan Shu felt dizzy just by looking at them.
Fortunately, when he was suffering from a headache, the handsome Prince Edward sitting on his left reminded him in a low voice that these matters could be left to him and Dalian, and this allowed the newly appointed Holy Tree Elf King to He breathed a sigh of relief and threw away all kinds of annoying official documents.
But something was different today. Everyone in the meeting kept their heads down quietly and didn't say a word, so Nalan Shu didn't know what they were going to do.
"His Majesty."
After a long time, a priest sitting on the right stood up tremblingly.
"Say something quickly."
"I dare to ask your Majesty." The priest gritted his teeth and asked Nalan Shu: "Excuse me, should we call you 'His Majesty the King' or 'Her Majesty the Queen'?"
After asking, the palace once again fell into deathly silence. No one dared to raise their heads, for fear that this question would offend the "Your Majesty" who was recognized by the World Tree as a human being.
During this period of time, His Majesty the Elf King sometimes appears in the form of an elf, and sometimes appears in the form of a human. This man and a woman are really indistinguishable. All the participants are wondering whether the king is a man or not. I am deeply troubled by the question of "female".
"Of course I am a man." Nalan Shu replied angrily, "The one in my elf form is just...well, it's just magic. No matter in the past, present or future, I will always be a man."
After hearing Nalan Shu's answer, the underground priests breathed a sigh of relief; but Dalian and Edward's expressions darkened, showing no joy at all.
Especially after hearing what the priest said next, their faces were so dark that they seemed to be covered with a layer of dust.
"Then I would like to ask Your Majesty, when will the wedding between you and His Majesty the Holy Maiden be held?"
"Huh?" Nalan Shu was stunned by this sudden question, "Wedding?"
Finally...it's here.
Dalian lowered her head, her hands under the round table tightly grasping the priest's robe, and her teeth biting her lip unconsciously exerted force. A sense of pain and the smell of blood stimulated her brain, forcing her to listen to these things. Painful words.
It turns out that the saints in the temple are actually the unmarried wives selected by the World Tree for the Holy Tree Elf King. This has been the case since the first Holy Tree Elf King; in the tens of thousands of years without a king, these saints have also served as As the high priest of the temple, he kept himself pure and waited for the birth of the king throughout his life.
As a saint of this generation, Darian has lived with Edward since she was a child. She has long been enamored with this childhood sweetheart and regards him as her "king".
It's just that their feelings are not allowed by the temple and the Presbyterian Church after all. It is precisely because of this that Edward is so eager to become the Elf King of the Holy Tree, not only because of the expectations of his tribe and the dignity of the royal family, but also partly because of his and Darian's emotions, their love.
It's a pity that Edward can't become the Elf King of the Holy Tree. Now he can only watch his lover marry that human who appears out of nowhere. He is probably very uncomfortable.
"Um……?"
As an outsider who had just become the Elf King of the Holy Tree, he naturally had no knowledge of this matter at all, so he couldn't understand why he wanted to marry the "Crown of the Saint" sitting on his right. .
Seeing that his king suddenly became confused, the priest quickly explained the reason to him.
"Oh I see."
After listening to the priest's explanation, Nalan Shu nodded, glanced at Edward and Dalian, who were ashen-faced, and suddenly said an answer that shocked everyone.
"There will be no wedding, so there is no date."
"Your Majesty, why is this?!"
Several priests and elders stood up and asked anxiously.
"Why... um." Nalan Shu thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at the surprised Dalian on the right, and said coldly: "Sifulos Dalian, do you admit your guilt?"
"Guilty?" Dalian's delicate body trembled, she immediately pushed away the chair and knelt down in fear.
"I...I don't know...your majesty, please clarify."
"Hmph." Nalan Shu snorted coldly and called the holy lady by her name, "During the Holy Tree Ceremony, you actually used Gangkunkovo, Sifulos Darian, without permission. Such an act of transgression. , isn’t it a sin?”
The invisible pressure overwhelmed everyone present. If Nalan Shu hadn't mentioned it, they would have almost forgotten about this matter.
Edward closed his eyes in pain. He couldn't do anything until now. Now that the new king has ascended the throne, if the king had no heirs for the time being and needed his "capable assistant" (Nalan Shu's personal praise) to help handle government affairs, he would His position as crown prince has long been gone, and he himself can’t even protect himself, so what ability does he have to help Dalian?
"but……"
Nalan Shu suddenly changed the subject, and his tone suddenly became much gentler.
"The reason why you wanted to use Gonkunkovo was because the black dragon was approaching and I didn't show up in time, so the blame does not entirely fall on you. Although you behaved in a panic, your original intention was to protect the tribe, not For other things.”
"In this case, I will declare that you will be deprived of your status as a saint, but you will still serve as the high priest. You will make up for your mistakes and continue to assist me in managing the kingdom with Crown Prince Edward."
"Sifulos Darian, do you accept my king's sentence?"
Dalian raised her head in surprise and saw Nalan Shuqiang pretending to be serious, but she felt a little overwhelmed just by looking at him.
"My lord...I am convinced."
Dalian touched her head to the ground, her fear and anguish were suddenly relieved, and bursts of relief and joy filled her heart.
Edward looked at Nalan Shu blankly, never expecting that his new king would do such an unexpected thing.
"Huh? What? Orff Edward, do you have any objection to this king's judgment?" Nalan Shu raised his eyebrows and said.
"How dare you." Edward quickly lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty made a wise decision, and I am convinced."
Then, he moved his eyes to look at Da Li sitting aside, only to find that she was also secretly looking at him. The two looked at each other and smiled, then quickly looked away, their eyebrows lowered and their hearts naturally filled with indescribable gratitude to Nalan Shu.
Now Dalian is no longer bound by the identity of "Saint Girl", so no one will stop them from doing whatever they want to do next.
Nalan Shu naturally noticed the little moves between them, but he was too lazy to care about these little things.
Naturally, he would not marry Dalian. He and the Holy Maiden were really not familiar at all, and they had no emotional foundation to get married.
What's more, in Nalan Zi's words, Nalan Shu is now in a rebellious stage. Regarding this inexplicable wedding, Nalan Shu's real thoughts in his heart are: Who do you think you are? I don’t know what the so-called thing is. If you ask me to tie it, I will tie it?
Moreover, Nalan Shu had heard a thing or two about Prince Edward and High Priest Darian. He didn’t want to be a yellow man, so he simply showed off his adult beauty. This was also a way to win people’s hearts. After all, in the future We still have to rely on these two to handle state affairs.
