Chapter 136: 132

"Everything is ready oThis way, please."

"Yes"

　I unintentionally reply in a strange voice. The knight was also looking at me with eyes as if to say, "I understand.

"Then, go ahead."

"Yes, ."

I am taken to the audience room. The audience room, which I hadn't been to in several months, was filled with government ministers, bureaucrats, and other important members of the Imperial Council.

The first time I've been here in a few months, I've seen all the ministers, bureaucrats, and other heavy weights of the Imperial Council.
(Another decoration in just a few months. The son of the Northern General.)

("The future of the empire is in good hands with him.")

"(Hmm. I hear that His Majesty also remembers him well. l. It might be a good idea to get him on board while he still can.:")

I could feel the gazes of everyone in the room looking at me. I could also hear some kind of nasty conversation. This is exactly why the old raccoon dogs of the Congress are ....... I wonder if I will be one of those people in the future. Thinking about it makes me not want to be an adult anymore.

　The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your money is to make sure that you are getting the most out of your money. ...... healed. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how to do it.

I suddenly felt a gaze of a very different hair color from the others, so I turned my head that direction and saw Lily and Marie looking at me with soft smiles on their faces. ...... healed. I guess that helped me relax a little.

"The Emperor has came !"

At the Prime Minister's signal, which sounded like something out of a drama, everyone in the audience room kneeled down. The curtains opened with a bang, and the sound of shoes stamping on the floor echoed through the audience room.

"Raise your heads."

I slowly raised my head so as not to be rude, and my eyes met those of His Majesty the Emperor, who was seated on a throne a little distance away in front of him.

" It's been a long time, Eberhard."

" It is a great honor to see you again."

Compared to the last time, the emperor spoke to me in a much more frank manner. Thanks to this, the atmosphere of the event changed from solemn to somewhat soft. Perhaps this is also a reflection of His Majesty's consideration. I'm sorry ......!

"I think it has been 1,500 years since my ancestor, the first emperor, took the throne. It's been a long time."

"What?"

I wondered what he was suddenly talking about.

"I heard that until the time of the first and second emperors, the royal family was a martial fighter, but after that, there were not so many strong men."

"I am sure you are aware that there have been many emperors in the past who have made a name for themselves through their achivments . Your modesty is unbecoming of the ruler of the greatest empire on the continent."

"Ha-ha-ha, now you're talking like one too."

"Forgive me, Your Majesty."

 

'That was just a joke. Don't worry about it. The first time in the long history of the Empire, you achieved the feat of summoning the original dragon, elemental dragon. I wonder?"

　His Majesty the Emperor chuckles and mutters to himself. What should I do? I had not expected such a gesture at all. I don't know how to respond to this. ......!

"I've already given you a knighthood. Even if I wanted to upgrade you to a permanent nobility, Eberhard is already a frontier Count.'son There are not many such examples in history, so I don't know what to do."

"I am very sorry. ......"

The title of " frontier count " is the same as that of a marquis. The actuality that the actual duke is a duchess is a fact that only a descendant of a vassal is eligible for the duke title. The Fahrenheit family is, in fact, the highest rank among the nobility who are not part of the royal family.

　In addition, even if I wanted to start a new family, there is no point in starting a new family since I myself am the eldest son who will take over the family. I could see why His Majesty the Emperor was bothered by this.

" Don't apologize. You have done a good thing. ing, and you should be praised for it, rather than criticized for it."

I" am very grateful to you, "

　I am glad that the emperor is a man of good character. If he had been a tyrant, I don't know what I would have done. The worst that could happen is that he might even go into self-imposed exile.

　The emperor's frank attitude may be the reason why the raccoon dog in the council are becoming more casual. This way, they would not complain or hate me behind my back. But not all of them, I suppose. There are always a certain number of people who make things difficult. It is best to ignore them. There's no end to the number of people you have to deal with.

"I remember the last time I knighted you, I gave you a silver knight's sword."

"That is correct. "'

　The emperor is confirming this with the prime minister who is standing next to him. The silver knight's sword insignia is one of the several orders that exist in the empire. The most important thing to remember is that the silver knight's holy sword is not only a symbol of the emperor's power, but also a symbol of the emperor's power to protect the people of his country from the threats of evil. There is also the highest order, the Order of the Sacred Sword of the Knight of the Golden God, but this is a very special order that only the first emperor, who was a hero, and a few others have ever received, so it is virtually non-existent. The order is given to those who have solved or greatly contributed to solving a national problem that could have resulted in the destruction of the empire. Since the last time it was bestowed was more than 300 years ago, it is said that only a handful of people in the court have actually seen it.

But that is not the point. The question is, what is His Majesty going to propose?

"I heard that the name of the original dragon was chosen to be 'Lindwurm' in honor of its predecessor."

I am in awe of His Majesty the First. I am afraid to say that I named it so out of admiration for His Majesty the First.

"It is very good that it conveys the loyalty to the Empire. ...... hmm, yes."

　His Majesty seems to have decided on something. The sound of gulping and swallowing saliva echoes through the audience hall /

" In honor of your achievement of summoning the original dragon and contracting the divine beast, which is the greatest accomplishment since the first emperor, we, in the name of the 75th Emperor Orleans of the Empire of the Highlands, grant you the Silver Knight's Sword and the rank of Imperial Officer of the Armed Forces. Any who have any objection..."

　The hall fell silent.

'The audience fell silent. I look forward to your future service to the Empire".

"Oh, yes. My loyalty is to you and to the Empire."

At that moment, the audience hall was filled with applause. It seemed that this audience had ended without incident.

　　　　　＊

"I was so nervous!　"

"Hahahaha HaL!　That's great!　In addition to the Knight of the Sacred Sword of the Magic Silver Knight, you have the rank of an imperial military officer!　It's unbelievable!"

"I'm not sure what an official military officer is. I'm not really getting a sense of how great it is. ......"

 

Eberhard. To put it simply, the rank of imperial officer allows you to declare to the world that the Emperor is behind you. Only the emperor, the person who gave you the rank, can change it. In terms of power, it is the same level as the commanders of the several Knight Orders in the Empire.

"What the hell is ...........?'

　Apparently, I was given an incredible position by the emperor.
