Tome of Blood

Chapter 477 -132- Recognition (two in one)

Seeing the persistence of Charlotte and Earl Stafford, Marquis Howard hesitated to speak.

But in the end, he nodded and greeted Charlotte slightly:

"I obey...your order."

He waved to the nobles who came to greet him, and the nobles stepped aside to reveal the carriages that had been prepared.

Charlotte glanced at the royal carriage with the Roman emblem, and then boarded it generously.

"To the palace."

she ordered.

The carriage drove slowly, surrounded by nobles and soldiers, forming a mighty team, heading towards the Red Palace, the center of Falling Star City.

…

The Red Palace is located in the north of Falling Star City, about thirty minutes away from the dock.

When the mighty team surrounding Charlotte arrived in front of the palace, the knights guarding the palace had obviously received the news in advance.

Heavily armed soldiers stood in front of the palace gate in order, blocking the closed palace door behind them.

The road leading to the palace was blocked, and the mighty motorcade had to stop.

Lord Stafford looked sullenly.

He looked at the royal knights blocking the door of the Red Palace and shouted:

"Her Majesty the Queen has arrived, what are you doing blocking here? Why don't you get out of the way quickly!"

Some knights obviously recognized the identity of Earl Stafford.

They looked hesitant and seemed to be hesitant, but soon, a higher-ranking officer in the knights' queue spoke:

"Keep the array! Don't let up!"

Then, an officer wearing a red cloak and armor more sophisticated than the other knights walked out of the knights.

He came to the front of the team, saluted Earl Stafford and Marquis Howard, and then said solemnly:

"Sir Speaker, Lord Marquis, the head of the group has an order. Before the new king is officially crowned, no claimant to the throne is allowed to enter the Red Palace. The Red Palace is the symbol of our Fallen Star royal family. Only the real king is qualified to enter."

"How presumptuous! As a member of the Knights, don't you know what I mean by standing here? I have followed the late king's orders to welcome Her Majesty Charlotte de Castel back to Falling Star, why don't you hurry up? Step aside!"

Lord Stafford shouted.

After finishing speaking, his extraordinary aura was released, and the pressure of the blazing sun pressed against the kingdom's knights.

The extraordinary aura that was far more powerful than the knights spread out, trying to force the knights to get out of the way. However, the kingdom knights whose average strength was less than Silver Moon still did not take action.

I saw the inscriptions on their armors lighting up one after another, blooming with a light red brilliance. The brilliance quickly became one, covering all the knights.

It's a magic energy array.

At this moment, the Royal Knights suddenly launched the extraordinary army's solidified magic energy array!

Earl Stafford only felt that his extraordinary power hit an invisible wall of air, which was indestructible.

Feeling the integrated breath of the knights and the extraordinary power connected under the pale red light, even he felt a little frightened, Earl Stafford became even more angry:

"How presumptuous! If you activate the magic energy array in front of His Majesty, are you Knights going to rebel?"

Facing the wrath of Earl Stafford, the knights who deployed the magic energy array remained expressionless. The senior officer leading them still had a straight face and said in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency Speaker, our Knights are just acting according to the rules. Now that the throne is vacant, we will only obey the orders of the leader. The leader ordered us to defend the Red Palace. Then our task is to defend the Red Palace. We cannot let it go. Anyone entering."

"After all... the Red Palace is not only the royal palace, but also the magic center of Falling Star City. As I said before, no one can enter the Red Palace until the new king is decided."

Seeing the arrogant look of the Knights officers, not only Earl Stafford, but also the other nobles who arrived in the royal carriage showed anger:

"How presumptuous! Her Majesty the Queen is the chosen one by Roman's Sword, and the heir to the throne who is destined by fate, why don't you get out of the way quickly!"

"Open your eyes and take a look. Archbishop Campbell is here. Don't you know what you are doing?"

"Treason! You are treason! Why don't you get out of the way quickly!"

Perhaps with the two backbones of Stafford and Charlotte, and the number of nobles surrounding the convoy, the nobles seemed to have some confidence when facing the fully armed royal knights, and they sternly rebuked them one after another.

Seeing the nobles who were about to move, the senior officer frowned and then waved his hand.

Seeing his actions, the royal knights drew their weapons one after another.

The pale red light shrouding the knight array further expanded, and a chilling and cold aura pressed toward the nobles centered on the array.

Feeling the frightening aura, the nobles' momentum suddenly stagnated and they subconsciously stepped back.

Seeing the knights using the magic energy array to push back the crowd, Earl Stafford became even more angry:

"What are you doing? What do you want to do? Do you really want to rebel?!"

"Your Majesty, please step back."

A calm and pleasant voice came from the carriage.

Hearing this voice, the anger on Earl Stafford's face instantly faded.

He glared at the knights coldly, then walked to the side of the carriage with a respectful gesture:

"Her Majesty the Queen..."

The door of the carriage was opened by the escorting soldiers, and the exquisite wooden ladder was lowered.

In the midst of everyone's attention, the royal knights saw an aristocratic girl stepping out of the carriage gracefully. She was holding a long sword that looked familiar to the knights. She was accompanied by a tall sword with her head held high and her chest raised high. Black cat with tail.

The girl has beautiful blond hair and a pair of eyes as clear and blue as the starry sky. Her perfect face is like the beauty goddess Avros in the world.

She doesn't look very old, and her facial features are even a little immature. Only the slim-fitting, gorgeous aristocratic skirt gives her body a bit more curves, making her look a little more mature than she looks.

Seeing the girl stepping off the carriage, the nobles suddenly became quiet.

They all stepped back and bowed slightly to make way for the girl.

The girl slowly came to the front of the team.

She glanced calmly at the royal knights blocking the palace, and said calmly:

"Do you... know who I am?"

The knights' eyes flickered, but they did not answer.

Only the high-ranking officer at the front looked slightly condensed.

"Lord Count Castel, only true kings can stay in the Red Palace. You are not qualified now. Please retreat quickly to prevent the magic array from causing harm to you."

He said solemnly.

However, compared to the indifference he faced Earl Stafford just now, his voice at this moment was more respectful.

Faced with the respectful but undisguised threats from the high-level legions, before Charlotte could say anything, she couldn't hold back the Roman Sword in her hand:

"Only the true king can move in? What? The master I chose, the successor designated by Edward, the younger generation, is not qualified to enter the mere Red Palace?"

"I think back then, the inscriptions in this palace were carved by your Grandpa Sword for the Roman family!"

After hearing Roman's Sword's words, the royal knights widened their eyes.

There are not many talking swords, but a talking elf rapier is more directional.

Obviously, facing such a talking sword, the knights have already recognized the identity of Roman's Sword.

Charlotte glanced at the knights and weighed the Roman sword in her hand:

"You...should know who it is, right?"

The knights' eyes flickered and they remained silent, but their expressions showed hesitation again.

No one answered.

But their expressions betrayed their thoughts.

Of course, Charlotte didn't expect their answer.

She stepped forward directly and walked towards the knights.

"Lord Earl, please stop!"

The senior officer's expression changed, and the knights behind him were also a little commotion.

Charlotte didn't hear anything.

She held Roman's Sword, moved forward step by step, and walked directly into the light of the magic energy array.

Seeing this scene, the nobles' eyes widened and they were about to step forward to stop him.

However, before both parties could take action, the next scene surprised everyone.

Just when Charlotte stepped into the attack range of the magic energy array, the "automatic attack" of the magic energy array that everyone imagined was not triggered.

Not only that, even the radiance of magic energy that was supposed to envelope the girl was blocked directly in front of the girl as if it had encountered an invisible barrier.

On the side of the Kingdom Knights, the knights felt even more profoundly.

In their perception of controlling the magic energy array, it seemed that what was coming towards them was not a frail noble girl, but a bottomless abyss.

They only felt as if the opened magic energy array hit an invisible sponge barrier.

The magic power that was enough to severely damage Blazing Sun and even Legend, not only failed to stop the girl's progress, but began to be quickly swallowed up by some invisible "barrier".

The girl continued to move forward without any intention of stopping.

As the girl approached, a sense of oppression that seemed to come from the soul gradually emerged in the hearts of the knights.

No one dared to really make a move on Charlotte.

Not to mention that the magic energy array was actually ineffective against Charlotte. Even if Charlotte's identity was there, they would only dare to block it in the name of not being crowned yet, but not dare to actually take action.

And Charlotte has already seen this.

Charlotte walked towards the palace with her sword in hand.

The commotion among the knights grew larger and larger, and some knights who couldn't hold on began to retreat uncontrollably.

Charlotte takes one step forward, the Cavaliers take one step back, Charlotte takes another step forward, and the Cavaliers take another step back...

This is a ridiculous picture.

There was obviously only one Charlotte, but facing hundreds of fully armed Kingdom knights who had activated magic arrays, she was able to force the opponent to retreat continuously.

And looking at the girl who forced the kingdom's knights to keep retreating, the nobles also showed admiration and respect on their faces, with brilliant eyes.

The strong will be respected at all times.

And strength is also a necessary quality for a king.

Although the nobles didn't know how Charlotte did it, at this moment, they looked at the girl who was forcing the knight back step by step, and there was a bit of real recognition and admiration in their eyes.

Charlotte continues to move forward.

The Cavaliers feel the pressure is increasing.

They kept retreating, and finally reached the point of no return.

Gradually, some knights began to subconsciously move to both sides. As time went by, more and more knights moved to both sides, while fewer and fewer knights stood in front of Charlotte.

In the end...only one high-ranking officer was left.

Senior officers only felt the pressure doubled.

It's not just psychological pressure, it's physical pressure.

In his perception, as the girl walked along, the aura and pressure on her body continued to increase, and at the moment, it had reached an incredible point.

He felt that he was not facing a girl.

Instead, he faced a walking mountain.

No... deeper than the mountains. In his perception, the pressure brought by the girl was almost substantial, like a violent storm in the ocean.

His legs were shaking subconsciously, his brain was buzzing, and he felt like he would be overwhelmed by the indescribable pressure in the next moment.

But even so, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on standing.

Charlotte came to the senior officer.

She looked at the officer who was sweating profusely and had a ferocious look on his face, but still gritted his teeth and persisted with a slightly surprised look. She nodded slightly and said with a smile of appreciation:

"You... are not bad."

With that said, she passed by the high-ranking officers and went straight into the palace surrounded by nobles shouting "Long live the Queen".

Without the pressure from Charlotte, the senior officer's legs weakened and he fell directly to the ground.

He was panting, his body was shaking, and for a while he couldn't stand up again, and he was in a daze.

The mighty noble team surrounded Charlotte, who had forced back the knights, and entered the main hall of the Red Palace.

Charlotte carried Roman's Sword and went straight to the king's throne at the highest point of the palace, and then sat down directly on it.

Seeing the girl sitting on the king's throne, Earl Stafford, the chief speaker of the Fallen Star Kingdom's parliament, looked excited.

He took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee first, saluted Charlotte, and said in a loud voice:

"Charles Stafford...meet Her Majesty the Queen!"

With Earl Stafford in front, the nobles who had followed Charlotte to the Red Palace also knelt down on one knee, making a huge noise.

Sparse sounds sounded, then more and more, and gradually integrated into the same sound, and finally evolved into a huge, deafening cheer.

The cheers resounded in the palace, spread out of the palace gate, and spread far and wide...

Looking at the fallen star nobles in the palace who bowed to her on one knee, Charlotte smiled slightly.

She put away Roman's sword and then gently raised her hand:

"Get up."

Wow…

Upon hearing Charlotte's order, the fallen star nobles in the palace stood up one after another.

Their postures were still respectful, but there was more genuine recognition and awe on their faces than when they first met at the port.

Make up for last night's and today's.

As for tonight... I'd better not promise it. _(:з　∠)_
