Chapter 622 Title
In the main hall of the Demon City Palace, there were nearly a hundred imperial ministers and nobles standing in the empty hall. His Majesty Alexander intimately walked along the road where the big red carpet was paved.
Li Junshan was a little disgusted with the approach of the demon king's approach of being praised and killed, but his current cunning was not written on his face. Looking at all the imperial ministers and various nobles with different expressions, he walked with His Majesty Alexander and walked up the hall.
Obviously, His Majesty Alexander, the Demon Lord, did not want to bring Li Junshan to the throne and let him sit aside where only the Imperial Elderly could sit. Of course, he knew very well that if he really wanted to do that, at least a dozen ministers present would give advice.
"Everyone, this is the Lord Nicholas #Harriman, who is integrated with our soul demon Xi Khan, has innate summoning beasts, and has the support of the undead plane."
Alexander walked to his throne and did not sit down. Instead, he turned around and introduced to the ministers and nobles with a smile.
The location of Li Junshan's station was a little awkward. Alexander kept taking him under the throne. He looked left and right and saw that there were some elderly demons around him with a high-level powerful man whose breath could not be concealed. He simply leaned against them. He heard the introduction of the king, Li Junshan bowed to him and said "Your Majesty", and then turned around and bowed to the people present.
"unreasonable!"
A low shout sounded, and then a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes walked out, with silver eyes, black hair and horns on his forehead. In addition to his pale complexion, he could be considered a beautiful man in the demon race.
"Your Majesty takes you to this position and respects you. How could you be so unreasonable to the ministers present, and even dare not bow to Your Majesty?" The beautiful man from the demon clan shouted to Li Junshan righteously.
"Which onion are you?" Li Junshan wanted to ask this handsome man, he was famous in the Yalan continent, and he was respected everywhere he went, and he had never been scolded in person in person.
With a calm expression on his face, Li Junshan blinked. Seeing the king's move to speak, he hurriedly said, "Does the commander have to kneel down to His Majesty?"
"What kind of commander are you?" The handsome man became more and more arrogant. He looked at Li Junshan with contempt and said, "This is the first time that your Majesty has seen you. You have not yet conferred the title of commander. Don't regard our demon world as your lower level. Commander is not only a title of rank strength, but also a symbol of identity and power."
"Your Highness Prince Victoria said..." Li Junshan pretended to be confused. He said with a confused expression on his face, "When I went back, she had already called me the commander, and said that this was the king's meaning. Did I make a mistake?"
"One pretends to be red and the other pretends to be black. I want to give me a warning, but the old guy has a good idea." Li Junshan snorted coldly in his heart. He could almost confirm the identity of the beautiful man in the demon clan in front of him. The symbol of the demon dragon embroidered with golden thread on his sleeve hovering on the trident had betrayed his royal clan.
In the Demon World, only those with the royal bloodline are qualified to embroider this logo on their sleeves. This is like the embroidered black cereals by the top demon gods. It is a logo that no one dares to overcome.
"His Highness Prince Victoria..." The handsome man's face froze, but he said suspiciously: "I met her when the prince came back and asked about you, but she didn't tell me about this?"
As soon as he said this, Li Junshan was completely sure that this handsome man must know everything about him. All this in front of him might be the instructor of the king, and his identity was about to emerge - he belonged to the kind of direct lineage with a low status in the royal family, otherwise he would not have called Victoria by "His Royal Highness of the Prince".
At the same time, Li Junshan also understood why Victoria said that the imperial power has been suppressed by the Demon God Cult in recent years. In his opinion, it would be great if such a king could preserve the empire, let alone reviving the imperial power.
"Master, is Your Highness the Prince just perfunctorily or directly lie to me? Where is Her Highness the Prince? Where is she?" Li Junshan glanced around the scene with a blank look. Some people were gloating, and many people shook their heads and sighed inwardly. However, the prince's expression was still like a wave of thousands of years of ancient wells that could not cause any turmoil, and there was no joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness at all.
"Berwina, you go back." His Majesty Alexander glared at the handsome man and said, "I have already issued an order to Victoria. She can exercise my identity and power in this matter. Can Nicholas say this? Obviously Victoria has promised him. Can he still deceive people in front of so many people? Besides, when I went to the Central Square to greet him, I had already promised him the title of commander. Why is it unreasonable for him to do this?"
The beautiful man of the demon clan, Bernie, quickly bowed to the king, but retreated by the way. When he raised his head, he looked calm and thought that nothing had happened at all.
"It's my emperor brother who is abrupt. Commander Nicholas doesn't care." His Majesty Alexander smiled at Li Junshan and said, "Actually, I don't know anything about this..."
Halfway through the words, a handsome maid suddenly walked out from behind the black screen behind the throne with some fear, walked to the king's side in the surprised eyes of the ministers, leaned down and said something.
The people present were not as powerful as the masters, and they subconsciously wanted to listen with concentration. Sitting on the side of the king, Leroya suddenly moved his body, and the people immediately felt an invisible wall of air appeared in the space around the throne. Not to mention the voice of the woman, they could not even feel the breath of her and the king.
The panic-ridden maid quickly retreated, and the space around the throne instantly returned to normal. The smile on the king's face did not diminish at all, but it was a bit embarrassing when it fell into everyone's eyes.
No wonder Alexander showed such a rare expression, but the maid's words just now embarrassed him. If it weren't for the personal maid who grew up with the little princess she felt sorry for, Alexander would have wanted to execute her just now.
"Don't do a bad show anymore. At least half of the people present candied it. You want to give him a warning. A candied fruit and a slap will not work for this person. Believe me. I don't understand. I finally persuaded you to greet him in person. Why did you play like this in the palace again?"
The words of the maid were all over my mind. The king knew very well that his baby little princess must have gotten angry this time, and it was the most serious kind. Otherwise, she would have heard political views quietly behind the screen, and she would not risk exposing her identity. Suddenly, she sent a maid to remind herself that the king knew that the little princess didn't want to offend Nicholas in front of so many people.
He was both embarrassed and annoyed, but he couldn't tell it. His Majesty Alexander smiled as if a flower was blooming. He said to Li Junshan: "It was just a misunderstanding just now. Master Commander doesn't have to worry about it. Now I will just declare that Nicholas was promoted to the commandership as his own identity, and his territory was still the territory ruled by Shi Khan..."
Thinking of the cold face of his daughter who was about to see her daughter, His Majesty Alexander was shocked. After thinking about it, he added: "And he would grant Nicholas the title of commander of the Count."
As soon as Alexander said this, the venue was immediately in an uproar, and even Li Junshan himself was shocked.
The demon plane is extremely harsh about the enthronement of titles. This is not like other planes such as the Yalan Continent plane, which can even be exchanged for titles by donating money and supporting the empire's financial resources. In the demon plane, many generals who have fought for blood, sweat and outstanding military achievements for the empire throughout their lives can get large areas of fiefdoms and a large amount of wealth rewards, but most of them still do not get the title of high nobles.
The reason is actually very simple. The decline of imperial power has made the king pay more attention to the military power of the empire. High nobles, those above the earl, can have a large number of private soldiers and worship the strong, and can also conquer a large number of slaves (slave soldiers) from lower planes, but all of this is still protected by imperial laws.
The king did not dare to change the legal system set by his ancestors without authorization, but he could enthrone or ban the title of aristocratic. It is precisely because of this that even the concentration of the imperial power, the Demon Capital, was not like the Lyon, the imperial capital of the Lyon Empire in the Aramic Continent. Any stone falling from the sky and falling into the crowd would kill several nobles.
Feeling the envious or jealous eyes around him, Li Junshan was able to guess who the person behind the screen was. He smiled bitterly in his heart, and did not refuse. He immediately bowed and said thanking, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"His Majesty……"
An old man with white hair and beard came out and just spoke to persuade the king to be cautious, but Alexander waved his hand and said, "I have decided, so there is no need to say more."
Although Alexander was not as good as his ancestors and had a little lack of wisdom, he had an advantage, that is, he would ask for the opinions of all the ministers when making a decision. At this time, he had no intention of asking for opinions. The old man's face turned dark, but he did not dare to say anything else, so he bowed and retreated.
"Even the commanders or nobles stationed in other plane worlds, they still have their own residences in the Demons. The commanders of Xikhan also had them back then, but he has been missing for nearly thirty years and the residence has been sold by his family." His Majesty Alexander said, pondering for a moment, and said, "Nicolas, there is a quiet residence on Red Maple Road. It was originally the residence of an incompetent prince of mine, but he was crowned king and went to other planes. According to the law of the empire, he could no longer step back to the Demon City. I will give you that residence."
"Isn't that good?" Li Junshan deliberately refused as soon as he heard this. He didn't want to stay in the Demon City for too long. According to the queen's request, it was the top priority to find a place with rich elements to practice. He said politely: "After all, it's the prince's mansion, and it's not appropriate for me to live in, let's talk about it..."
"Don't refuse." His Majesty Alexander interrupted Li Junshan's voice and said with a smile: "You have brought so many people here, and you have to have a place to settle it. Besides, as your count, the only thing you can find in a hurry is that the mansion will not insult you."
When the king said this, Li Junshan seemed pretentious again and said no matter how much he refused, he thanked him again and refused.
Li Junshan knew very well that after this incident, he had just entered the demon plane and was already at the forefront of the storm, and it was impossible to keep a low profile.
