In view of the special circumstances during the epidemic, the investiture ceremony was kept simple. The King of Beli and other members of the royal family did not show up. Only Princess Ketia conferred the honor on behalf of the royal family.
In fact, even if the background is changed, this is normal. It is a matter that Rozchild operates through Ketiya's relationship. As long as there is this name, it does not matter whether the ceremony is simple or not.
The investiture ceremony was held in a side hall of the palace that often receives foreign envoys. Everyone wore a uniform mask provided by the royal family. The black veneer design was decorated with a red poppy flower pattern, and the flowers were outlined in gold.
The edge contour looks very unique.
The etiquette when meeting has also been temporarily modified. There is no handshake or cupping of hands, and there is no traditional kissing or kissing on the hand. Make a fist with your right hand and touch it with the outside of your forearm, then take your fist back and gently touch your heart.
Show mutual respect.
Before coming here, someone specifically reminded Hua Zhenxing to understand the aristocratic etiquette here. Unexpectedly, it was changed immediately after being told on the spot. Hua Zhenxing met Princess Ketia in person for the first time, and she felt more friendly than in the photos.
The princess is visually estimated to be about 1.7 meters tall. She is wearing a long blue sleeveless tunic dress, which makes her appear elegant and delicate yet youthful and beautiful, and she also shows off her good figure.
Except for a pair of white drop-shaped earrings, she did not wear any jewelry, which was in line with the purpose of this award ceremony to commend charity... Seeing her, Hua Zhenxing inexplicably thought of Charles.
Princess Ketiya has been to Fiso Port more than once, but it is impossible to go to the grocery store to buy things in person, and she has never had any interaction with Huazhenxing.
However, Charles once had the opportunity to have close contact with Ketia. After returning, he became confused and declared that he had fallen madly in love with the princess and became the most loyal warrior under the princess's skirt...
It was more than two years ago, when Charles had just turned eighteen, Princess Kedia came to Fiso Port for vacation.
Of course she also had official duties, such as inspecting international hospitals, visiting aid doctors, taking photos with poor children, delivering charity speeches, etc. During this period, she also went hunting in the northern wilderness.
Hua Zhenxing has no prejudice against hunting. Before learning farming and nomadic life, human beings also lived a hunting life for millions of years. The so-called environmental protection is a dynamic concept. If a population loses its natural enemies and becomes too overpopulated, it may even cause ecological problems.
collapse.
For example, there are no beasts such as lions on the grassland. The reproduction of bison is not restricted and will soon eat up all the grass in an area. At the same time, it will also suppress the survival of other small grazing animals in the area.
Then the cattle will fall into famine or even die on a large scale, and various plagues and diseases may also become prevalent, eventually leading to a sharp decline in the population or even extinction.
The existence of lions can not only control the number of cattle and protect natural pastures, but also eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled in the cattle, preserving healthier and better genetic reproduction and inheritance.
Interestingly, the size of the herd can also control the number of lions, because they are the food of the lions. If there were no populations such as bison, the lions would become extinct, thus maintaining a delicate dynamic balance. This is the law of the natural jungle.
.
The so-called hunting activities are nothing more than human beings playing the role of lions and performing the natural functions of lions. As long as they do not exceed the limits of natural rules, of course there is no aristocratic tradition.
As for cultivating courage and character, it might still have some significance in the cold weapon era, but as for now... it's a bit nonsense.
Of course, the law of the natural jungle does not apply to human civilized society. Although the two are very similar in many aspects, these similarities are not necessarily legitimate and necessary at the same time. Human society has its own civilized ethics.
If someone insists that human society still follows the laws of the natural jungle, this is an exchange of concepts. Human beings are the same species, and cannot be both lions and bison, feeding on themselves. This logic cannot be justified.
The laws of nature are actually simple and simple. For lions, it is those who work hard who will survive, and for bison, it is those who work hard who will survive. And that's it, they have no higher-level needs.
A lion is not nobler than another lion, nor nobler than a buffalo. There is no such concept in the laws of nature.
Some people also say that the so-called moral ethics and the social consciousness it constructs are just a set of hypocritical clothes. Human beings who take off their clothes are still naked apes.
In fact, many people don't understand that it is this layer of clothing that is a priceless treasure. With it, everything that follows is possible. Civilization begins with reflection, which leads to ideological enlightenment. The really important question is what kind of clothing do we need?
The phenomenon of life and intelligence is a reaction to the principle of increasing entropy in nature. The emergence and development of civilized society is also a reaction to the law of the natural jungle. Otherwise, the existence of individuals and the relationship between individuals would be meaningless.
.
Some people say that "cultivation" is going against nature. In fact, the evolution of "human world" is also going against nature. In this desolate and silent universe...
These were told to Xiaohua by three elderly people at different times and in different ways. Their views or angles are different, but the core of their understanding is almost the same.
When Hua Zhenxing saw Princess Ketia, he inexplicably thought of Charles, then of hunting, and then of how several old men at home talked about spiritual practice and the human world. This kind of thinking is quite divergent!
When Princess Ketiya goes hunting in Fiso Port, she not only has her own security team, but also a group of local guides and bodyguards.
There must be someone who leads the way, sets up camp, and searches for and gathers prey. Through his uncle's relationship with Major Conu, Charles also joined the team and was able to get up close and personal with Princess Ketia.
The local entourage was not allowed to carry guns or mobile phones, and was not allowed to take photos on site. Charles was holding a spear in his hand, walking in front of the team, and wearing so-called traditional clothes.
When they were camping, the spears were also taken away. Princess Ketia, accompanied by her entourage, actually came among them, greeted them cordially, sat down next to Charles by the campfire, and asked him his name.
Ciel was so nervous that he stuttered, but the princess smiled at him and said, "Thank you, my warrior!" Then she personally handed Ciel food, a piece of meat that had just been roasted and cut off by the princess with a knife.
Charles was so excited that he almost had a seizure. After he came back, he became a little confused. He never left Princess Ketiya without saying anything to everyone. He said that the princess had occupied all his heart and praised the princess as unparalleled in the world.
After seeing Ketiya with his own eyes, Hua Zhenxing believed that some of what Charles said was true. For example, this princess was the most beautiful, charming, elegant, temperamental, well-educated, and most accomplished princess that Charles had ever seen.
Attractive girl.
Although the mask covers the mouth and nose, it adds a more mysterious beauty. The exposed eyebrows are bright and moving. This face, this figure, this dress, this breath... it can be called an excellent appearance, and the speech and behavior are so decent.
Show her charm.
In his life, Charles has indeed never seen a woman like Ketiya, and it is impossible to come into contact with him. He barely knows a few of the local indigenous girls he sees every day in his neighborhood. If he can barely pay attention to personal hygiene, it is considered very good.
.
Charles' state of confusion lasted for more than a month, and he was finally cured in a grocery store.
That day he came to see Hua Zhenxing, and without saying a word, he started talking about the beauty, charm and kindness of Princess Kedia. At this time, Old Man Yang found a movie for Hua Zhenxing to watch, so Charles also watched it.
The movie tells the story of a homeless man who ran into the ice and snow to pan for gold, found a gold mine, and became rich overnight.
At first, the tramp fell in love with a waitress. He had no food and clothing, but he tried his best to prepare a dinner that was as sumptuous as possible in his opinion and asked the waitress to join him.
As a result, the waitress completely forgot about the invitation and him. The waitress also played tricks on the tramp with a group of people. She thought it was very funny. The man was very funny, which made the tramp sad.
When the tramp got rich and became a rich man and left by boat, he met a waitress who wanted to escape but was bullied. He rescued her, and then the two of them lived happily together...
The surface structure of the story is extremely simple, but the performance is extremely exciting. After reading it, in front of Charles, Old Man Yang asked Hua Zhenxing: "Can that waitress fall in love with a tramp?"
Hua Zhenxing answered honestly: "Of course she doesn't like him. What she liked in the end was the rich man who made a fortune. Before she got on the boat, she had already forgotten about the tramp, but the tramp has not forgotten her yet."
Yang Tehong asked again: "Why do homeless people like waitresses so much?"
Xiaohua was still little Xiaohua at that time and couldn't answer such a profound question, so he had to ask: "What do you think?"
"The tramp without belts or boots, the tavern waitress is the most beautiful angel in his eyes. You have to pay attention to the beginning of the movie. The tramp was beaten in the tavern. The waitress helped him and used a handkerchief to help him.
He wiped the wound.
Although he did it casually, there was just such a hint of warmth that he had never felt in this world of ice and snow. At that moment, the waitress became his entire beautiful yearning.
But he didn't know that the waitress didn't pay attention to him at all, turned around and forgot about his invitation, and the world of homeless people was still the same ice and snow."
At this point, Old Man Yang suddenly changed his tone and raised his voice: "Char, don't you feel like that tramp? The tramp who didn't find the gold mine, but was so fascinated all day long!
Let me look at what happened between you. She said "thank you" to you and also said "my warrior". Are you really her warrior?
You ran on the grassland for several days with a stick, leading her hunting team and gathering prey. She gave you a piece of barbecue, cut it with a knife from the piece of meat you had roasted yourself, and handed it to you.
You can like her, but don’t lose yourself. Can you ask her out for a meal? You know the answer, it’s definitely impossible, even if you give her everything and try your best, it won’t be possible.
In this case, just go and date the girls you can date, just be safe, why bother talking about it here! What is the purpose of you talking about the princess every day? This kind of thing is not worth showing off, do you understand? "
Charles was still a little confused at the time, but at least he understood two things. Even if he talked about Princess Ketia every day, he would not be able to ask her out, and the "relationship" between him and the princess was not worth showing off. He finally ended his confusion.
The state of staring.
Hua Zhenxing also made a joke at the time: "Jili country has no king and is bigger than Bili country. In the future, when you become the president of Jili country...then you will make Jili country better than Bili country.
You can ask her out!"
It was just a joke at the time, but it made Ciel laugh. I'm afraid Ciel wouldn't dare to want to be the president of Gilly Country, and then make Gilly Country better than other countries.
But this incident still had an impact on Charles's subconscious to some extent. Although he didn't dare to think about becoming the president, maybe from that time on, his "ideal" of killing Bighead Kim and replacing him became more determined. If he had the opportunity, he would
Try to implement it.
Looking back now, Ciel's feelings for Princess Tia at that time are not surprising.
As a gang member, Charles lives in the Fesoport neighborhood, which is full of chaos and crime. He has never seen or felt the glamor from an unattainable world, so how can he not be fascinated by it.
Charles talks about Princess Ketiya every day, not only because he is obsessed with it, but also because he is showing off. He himself cannot tell the difference, but Old Man Yang can see through it.
Hua Zhenxing suddenly remembered what Old Man Yang had asked Charles, even if you give everything you have and use up all your strength, can you ask her out to have a meal together?
There will be a dinner after today's investiture ceremony. Because the recipient of the award is Her Royal Highness the Princess, the three recipients all brought their female companions. Locke brought Lian Na, and Rozchild brought a female star.
Hua Zhenxing wanted to bring Manman here, but Old Man Yang stopped him and said: "Don't let Manman go to that kind of place to learn bad things! And if you bring Manman there, it will be like publicly exposing your identity, so let
Xiao Cui, please go with you."
So Feng Zibin's female companion became Cui Wanhe, the director of the cultural and publicity department of Huanxiang Industry.
At this time, Hua Zhenxing was thinking that if possible, he should really bring Charles here. This would not be an invitation to the princess for a meal, but a meal at the princess's home. Unfortunately, he did not expect Doctor Luo to arrange this in advance.
Hua Zhenxing's inner activities are so rich. Sir Mace, who was responsible for the introduction and introduction, frowned secretly. What happened to this upstart from the Eastern Kingdom? He was even distracted when he saw Her Royal Highness the Princess. Who is this person?
While saluting Her Highness the Princess, Feng Zibin seemed to be observing the Princess's eyebrows, and then looking at her face and figure. He is really a legendary playboy! Have you gone crazy in front of Her Highness the Princess's charm?
However, his eyes and movements were a bit stagnant, and he did not reveal any other meaning. It is said that no matter how dissolute and absurd a person is on weekdays, he would not be rude at this time.
He was probably so nervous and excited that his mind went blank for an instant. Sir Mace could understand this feeling.
Hua Zhenxing was the first to step forward to salute the princess. Locke and Rothchild were still waiting behind. Sir Mace was about to give a reminder when Princess Ketia spoke first: "My Lord, are you thinking?"
What?"
She didn't mind Hua Zhenxing's reaction in front of her at all, and her smile became more gentle and charming. Hua Zhenxing quickly explained: "I once heard a friend mention you often. When I saw the princess today, I couldn't help but think of many things."
