At the same time, Earl River faced all the nobles and said loudly:
"Vivian is very talented and is about to break through to the silver level at the age of 15.
Moreover, she just happened to be engaged to His Highness Robert. She was under great mental pressure and acted so abnormally. I hope everyone can forgive her!"
The nobles present were of course on the side of Earl River, and they all expressed their understanding after hearing this:
"After all, I am only a 15-year-old child. I have been under so much pressure at a young age. If it were me, I would have done such an outrageous thing."
"My kid is also 15 years old, and this year he is the only one who has reached the black iron level. I really envy Vivian!"
"Geniuses always have to endure this. It will be fine when they grow up!"
…
After listening to everyone's words, Earl River nodded with satisfaction and continued to speak loudly: "If anyone dares to go out and publicize it..."
The threat in his tone was self-evident.
The nobles around shook their heads:
"No, we won't tell you!"
"We don't know anything!"
"What just happened? I lost my memory!"
...
Everyone said they would not spread the word.
Seeing that the nobles were acting like this, Earl River smiled and said to Robert: "Your Highness Robert, the matter is settled now!"
Robert nodded hesitantly and said nothing.
…
It was now time for the dinner to officially start, so Earl River walked to the middle of the dinner and said to everyone present:
“It’s almost time now, let’s officially start this dinner party!
We invite everyone to this dinner, first of all, to celebrate Lucas' breakthrough.
With the help of the high-level magic core of the sky level given by His Highness Robert, coupled with Lucas' own efforts, Lucas finally broke through the sky level last night!
Since the death of my father, there has been no sky-level powerhouse in Yoen City for thirty-four years and one hundred and twenty-eight days. Today, we once again have a sky-level powerhouse in Yoen City! Let us shout out together
That name!”
"Lucas!"
"Lucas!"
The nobles present excitedly waved their arms towards Lucas and shouted Lucas's name loudly.
For a time, the atmosphere at the dinner was high.
…
Robert also forcibly suppressed his inner unhappiness, stood next to Earl River and said loudly:
"Your Excellency Lucas has broken through the sky level, and the title of 'Earl' is no longer applicable to the River family.
Therefore, on behalf of the Principality of Lane, I officially confer the title of Marquis of Mason Rivers and become the second Marquis of the Principality!"
As Robert spoke, he took the badge representing the status of the Marquis handed over by the servant and put it on the chest of the Marquis of the River.
Although the nobles had long guessed that Earl River would become a Marquis, upon hearing Robert's personal announcement, everyone couldn't help but chanted the name "Marquis of River" enthusiastically, and the atmosphere of the dinner quickly reached a high level of ridicule.
…
But at this time, a discordant voice appeared: "Your Highness Robert, I have been waiting here for a long time. What do you think of the idea of ​​carving up the 'Land of Sand Sculptures'?"
The person who spoke was the special envoy of the Kingdom of Anjou. He had a mission and was not interested in the dinner, so he was a little impatient.
At the same time, another angry voice also appeared: "Your Highness Robert, don't listen to the nonsense of the Angevin people! If our Sunflower Principality perishes, the next one to perish will definitely be the Principality of Lane! Your Highness...
"
"Okay, you two." Robert said impatiently: "Let's not talk about this on such an important occasion today. We will talk about it later."
The two envoys looked at each other hostilely and stopped talking.
Sean was a little surprised when he saw this. Why didn't the two envoys go to Palomia to meet Archduke Ryan, but instead followed Robert to the city of Yonn?
Could it be said that Robert's power is great enough to determine the diplomatic strategy of the Principality of Lane?
However, Sean currently has too few intelligence sources, so he can only observe and observe first.
...
After the atmosphere at the scene calmed down a little, Marquis River said to everyone:
"Second, I will also officially give Lucas the distinguished surname 'River'. From today on, Lucas and his descendants will officially become members of our River family!"
Earl River took the family crest representing the River family from the servant's hand and put it on Lucas' chest.
Lucas and Lucio half-knelt down towards the Earl of River in excitement. They had been waiting for this day for a long time.
The nobles applauded Lucas one after another and gave their blessings to Lucas.
…
After a while, Earl River coughed slightly and continued:
"Finally, everyone must have guessed it! Our River Family, His Highness Robert, and the Hill Family of Vernis have officially formed an alliance!
I just said it at the door, we can definitely form an unbreakable alliance!"
Donald Hill also came over and stood on the right side of Robert. At this time, the servant also handed over the wine.
"Cheers to the alliance!" The three toasted together to celebrate the establishment of the alliance.
Cheers and applause continued to come from all around, and everyone witnessed this historic moment together.
After drinking the wine, the Marquis of the River announced: "Now I declare that the dinner has officially begun!"
At the same time, the Marquis of River also looked at Lucas behind him and asked in a low voice: "Are you ready for what I want?"
"I'm ready to follow your instructions!" Lucas replied immediately.
Earl River nodded and said to everyone in the audience:
"For the sake of the stability of our alliance, I personally composed a song called "Unbreakable Alliance". I will play it now. Please be quiet!"
When they heard that Earl River was about to play a song, everyone stopped talking and the dinner suddenly became quiet.
At this time, a servant came over holding the harp commonly used by Earl River.
The Earl of the River took the piano and began to play. While playing, he sang:
"Holy Country and Sons of Liberty,
The song we sang today,
Belong to our unbreakable alliance.
..."
Earl River's favorite thing is to play the piano and sing, and he did not forget to sing a song to cheer him up.
Sean was not interested in River Earl's singing and kept looking around.
He also noticed that Vivian was led out of the castle by Jessica.
Jessica's face was not very good and she was still very angry at this time.
Vivian's face was even worse. Her face was very pale, and her eyes were as gray as if she had resigned to her fate.
Vivian acted like that just now because she didn't want to marry Robert and was trying to make a final struggle.
Although she succeeded, after having a deep talk with Jessica in the castle just now, Vivian finally decided to sacrifice for the sake of the family and marry Robert.
Chapter completed!
