Chapter 717 What do you mean by white?
Chapter 717 What do you mean by white?
While Melanie's dream of getting rich overnight was shattered and she was crying breathlessly backstage, the succession ceremony in the auditorium outside was proceeding rapidly according to the process set by a certain old man in armor.
After a brief introduction of the situation, following the instructions of the master of ceremonies, a large number of waiters filed in from the side door. Half of the ornaments representing the wedding were quickly torn off, and corresponding family crests were arranged according to the positions of the major nobles in the kingdom.
Then, the wing corridors and side halls on both sides of the main hall, which were originally sealed, were opened one after another, revealing a large number of items sealed inside. Lyon took a curious look and saw that they should be royal family crests and medals, historical materials, ceremonial vessels, and other commemorative items.
What is even more disturbing is that in the wing corridors on both sides closest to the main platform, in addition to various commemorative items and thrones used for the coronation of successive kings, there is even a three-story super-large tomb.
Yes, a grave.
Leon was taken to a side hall to wait. He confirmed several times before confirming that his entire wedding with Princess Veronica was held between two large tombs on the left and right.
What’s even more outrageous is that in front of the two oversized tombs, there is even a newly laid table, with a lot of wine and food on it…
Held weddings and funerals together, and placed tributes after receiving gifts? It turns out that old man's funeral department is really good at funerals!
"Leon, the one on the left is the tomb of the ancestors, and the one on the right is the tomb of the first king. Whether it is a wedding or the coronation, it must be held between these two tombs, which symbolizes the watch over future generations and the entire kingdom."
Seeing that Leon kept staring at the two tombs with a slightly strange expression on his face, Princess Veronica, who was changing her clothes, took the opportunity to explain to him softly:
"You know the situation of our ancestor. He didn't leave his body behind, so the first king wasn't buried here either. Like our ancestor, he only left behind a cenotaph. These two graves are empty, so you don't need to worry too much about them."
As a well-known existence in the world of the dead, Leon certainly wouldn't care about the two tombs. Even if these two really heard the noise and climbed up to say hello to him, it wouldn't matter.
After waving his hand to indicate that he didn't care, but he didn't expect there were two graves in the auditorium, Leon stayed in the side hall with Princess Veronica, watching her change out of her wedding dress and put on a robe, then took her hand and walked out of the auditorium and stepped onto the red carpet again.
"My Majesty the Queen."
After walking a few steps towards the side door of the auditorium, Leon turned back and joked to the obviously nervous princess:
"Don't be nervous. Although I won't be on the stage this time, I will be sitting closest to the main stage, so you should walk towards me this time. Just think of it as walking down the wedding aisle again."
Princess Veronica raised the corner of her mouth at Leon's teasing. She couldn't help but take a deep breath, nodded at him with a smile, then stood on the red carpet and walked into the hall slowly and gracefully.
Under the gaze of nobles of the kingdom and envoys from various countries who came to watch the ceremony, the princess, wearing a royal robe with a train more than five meters long, walked along the red carpet again to the main stage of the auditorium as the music gradually became louder.
Then, an armor-piercing old man with four bottles of alchemical supplements stuck in his arms and a piece of something that was probably a pacemaker hanging on his chest was pushed out again in a wheelchair. As the oldest surviving member of the royal family, he replaced the ancestors and the first generation king to watch the ceremony and was responsible for leading the oath.
"I swear."
After taking a gentle look at Leon in the audience, Princess Veronica took the crown and scepter, and then, under the guidance of the armored old man, she put her hand on her chest and said in a loud and powerful voice:
"I will defend the dignity and power of my kingdom and protect the people who follow me, just as I do now.
I will continue the friendships of all races and honor the promises I made in the past, just as I am doing now.
I will maintain the laws of the kingdom and its territories, as I do now.
I will respect the customs of different peoples and regions, as I do now.
I will protect you..." After this outrageously long oath that covered almost every aspect, including nobility, civilians, law, economy, military, etc., Princess Veronica paused for a moment, then looked at Leon who was smiling at her from the audience, and added the last sentence in a soft but firm voice.
"I will love my husband dearly and stay with him till death do us part, as I do now."
Ah this...
Unexpectedly, she would add such a sentence in the oath. After a slight pause, Leon's heart was suddenly filled with a huge warm feeling. At the same time, the familiar noise appeared in his ears for the second time.
"Zi~"
[Your engagement with Princess Veronica has not been annulled even after she succeeded to the throne. Your gold-level badge "Prince of the Robin" has been successfully upgraded to a different-color badge "The Man Behind the Queen (Off-white)"]
[The Man Behind the Queen (different color·beige·cannot be upgraded): A small house, you stack blue bricks, I build green tiles; a small river, youth on the left bank, old age on the right bank; a long road, you walk in front, I chase behind; a bowl of soft rice, not only very white, but also very fragrant]
[Effect of wearing: When standing behind a queen, you will temporarily gain the special status "Soft rice is very fragrant"]
[Soft rice is very fragrant: When you hug a woman older than you from behind and whisper in her ear, "Good sister, I don't want to work hard anymore", you will temporarily gain control over all of her assets and can directly make the maximum use of them without paying any attention to any practical conditions.
But as the price of living off others, every time you use this ability, you must unconditionally complete a request from the other party. Before the request is completed, this badge cannot be activated again.
[Advanced route: Reached the highest level, cannot continue to advance]
[Hidden feature (no need to wear): It takes capital to be a gigolo, so in the eyes of all female creatures with the title of "Queen", your appearance will be fine-tuned to a certain extent in the direction that best suits their aesthetics]
"..."
Fuck!
I was wondering why the color of this badge is off-white, it turns out to be soft rice white!!!
After reading the description of [The Man Behind the Queen·Mi Bai], Leon couldn't help but gasp, and the veins on his forehead began to throb uncontrollably.
What the hell is this badge!
That extremely shameful activation condition, does he really want to die? Also, this effect is too rubbish, it doesn't live up to the level of the color!
Given the relationship between him and Veronica, she would most likely not refuse unless the request was extremely excessive, so what was the use of this badge? This badge was simply...
Um...wait a minute
As if he suddenly thought of something, Leon quickly opened the badge panel again, found the new badge of a different color with a soft rice white hue, and carefully read the extremely embarrassing activation instructions.
After hugging a woman older than him from behind and saying "Sister, I don't want to work hard anymore", he will gain control over all of the other party's assets and can directly use them to the maximum extent without any realistic conditions...
Ignore! Any! Reality conditions!
