MTL - Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World-Chapter 614 breaking news

King Rodney XVIII slowly sat down on the throne.

Prince Jassim, Yuriko, August, Catherine and Paul also came to sit on either side of the king, and they each had a seat.

The appearance of Paul surprised many people. They are nobles who are familiar with the royal family, most of them are from Jingyao and the royal land, and a few are from other lands.

Who is this young man? Why are you with the royal family?

Questions like this pop up in many people's minds.

"Everyone must have gone through a lot of hard work from their respective territories to Jingyao, and I am very excited."

Rodney XVIII spoke.

His voice is very majestic, with a powerful penetrating power, which directly hits everyone's heart.

Although the crown on his head was not worn just now, Rodney XVIII seemed to have been king for several years.

"My uncle worked hard for Aldo all his life, and the Lord of Light took pity on his hard work and finally took him back into his arms."

"His life was a bright and aboveboard life, a life of loyalty and dedication, and he is a role model for all of us!"

"Rodney XVII left us a rich legacy and we are grateful to him!"

"And we will carry on his legacy..."

…

The new king talked continuously for more than an hour, most of which were in memory of his uncle, and encouraged everyone to unite with sincerity and build Aldo into a greater one.

The lengthy speech reminded Paul of listening to the principal's speech when he was in school in his previous life. If he hadn't sat in a conspicuous position, he might have already started to doze off.

"But we can't linger in grief forever, so I want to take advantage of the opportunity of everyone coming to Jingyao to announce a big happy event!"

Rodney XVIII raised his eyebrows, and the heavy expression on his face seemed to have been swept away.

He turned his head to one side and said softly, "Dear Paul, dear Catherine, come here!"

Paul and Catherine stood up and came to the throne.

The king announced in a loud voice to the lords in the hall.

"Under the watchful eyes of the Lord of Light, my sister, Princess Catherine Rodney, will enter into a sacred marriage contract with Earl Paul Graham of Arda in the Northwest Bay!"

"Hoo-!"

Before Rodney XVIII finished speaking, a wave of astonishment sounded in the golden hall.

The king continued: "Just like countless Aldo couples, they will form a family and contribute to the continuation of this country..."

Before he finished speaking, the hall was already fried.

"Did I hear correctly just now? Is Princess Catherine engaged?"

"You heard me right, it's Princess Catherine!"

"That's Princess Catherine!"

"Ah, bastard, who is that kid named Paul?"

"Whoever he is, I must fight him!"

…

The lords and nobles whispered to each other and talked a lot.

Some expressed surprise, while others expressed anger.

Waves of voices rose from wave to wave.

Some of Catherine's most trusted subordinates, including Orfina, Klein, and Lester, the generals of the knight order, stood in a corner of the hall with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Her Royal Highness the Princess has already told them that she is going to marry far away from the Northwest Gulf, and asked them to stay in Jingyao and serve the new king well.

But this is against their personal will.

"Ofina, Lester, and everyone, where should we go?"

Klein asked his colleagues hesitantly.

He was very confused now, if he followed the princess to the northwest bay, would the new king continue to have doubts about the princess.

If you stay to serve the new king, you will always feel awkward and flustered.

Besides, His Majesty Rodney XVIII has his own loyal staff, will he continue to use them as Catherine's subordinates?

Lester was silent and did not speak, he has always been this temperament.

When Klein turned his questioning gaze to Ofina.

The beautiful lady with black hair and black eyes snorted, "Anyway, I'm going to follow His Highness to the Northwest Bay, whether she agrees or not."

"Ah, you are a woman." Klein said, "This is a convenience, and the king should not think about it."

"Yes, she is a woman! If you follow the Highness, no one will say anything."

A general named Dempsey said, with a hint of malice in his voice.

"By the way, you can be your Highness's dowry. Ha! Maybe that kid named Paul will take you as his concubine."

Ofina was furious, and immediately picked up the cup on the table next to her, and splashed water on Dempsey's face!

"You!" Dempsey became angry and glared at Ofina.

Ofina warned him: "Dempsey, if you dare to say one more word, I will definitely cut off your tongue!"

"Okay!" Klein immediately separated the two who were about to fight.

He looked around. Fortunately, people were discussing the princess's engagement, and no one noticed the little episode here.

"Don't even look at what occasion this is. If His Majesty and the princess find out, they will definitely punish you!"

Klein seriously warned Dempsey. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Dempsey, I know you are angry, but you shouldn't vent your anger on your companions, your words are too vicious!"

Dempsey turned his face away.

No matter how much surprise, no matter how much anger and jealousy, the new king's audience will still continue.

All the lords here, some of whom were envoys sent by the lord, swore their loyalty to Rodney XVIII in turn.

Paul even saw the envoys of the Duke of Giles and the Duke of Veblen. They also represented their respective lords and offered their loyalty to the new king in full view.

It seems that although Catherine's attack on the southern rebel forces was not very successful, at least they did not dare to blatantly despise the royal family, and they still admitted that they were vassals of the Aldo Kingdom on the surface.

After accepting the allegiance of the lords of various places, the next step is to accept the blessings of the envoys of various countries.

The countries here are mainly some countries around Aldo, including the Holy See, the Horn and Gulf countries, and the farthest is the Gabela Empire located in the interior of the mainland.

Paul noticed that although the Horn Gulf countries were fighting in full swing, their envoys were discussing something together just now—most likely they were taking advantage of this rare opportunity to get together to bargain for the ongoing war.

But when the envoys began to bless Aldo the new king, something great happened.

The envoys of the Principality of Inton did not retreat immediately after the blessing was finished.

He bowed to Rodney XVIII, "Your Majesty!"

Then he turned to face the crowd.

"And all the nobles present!"

"I am here by the order of Grand Duke Inton to announce to you that our country will recognize the legal status of wizards!"

This is n times more exciting news than the princess's engagement just now.
