Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 84 Baby Honor Ceremony, Opening! (Seeking monthly ticket~)

At the gate of Black Wolf Castle.

"Roy, Roland, let's go in. I can't wait to see my wonderful grandson." The old woman said lightly.

"Yes, mother." Two knights immediately came over and helped the woman into the Black Wolf Castle.

Nursery room.

The yellow light shines through the half-closed curtains and softly falls on the crib, draping over the baby in the crib like a layer of gauze.

The baby had grown short, soft, sky-blue hair, and his big, cyan eyes looked curiously at the people surrounding the bed. He stretched out his chubby little hands and waved them around, trying to touch them.

"What a cute child, worthy of being the blood of my Martha family!"

Looking at the baby, Rosa's wrinkled face was filled with joy, and the blood connection between them made her heart, which had long been calm, feel a little excited.

"Yes, his eyes are as beautiful as my little sister's. He will definitely charm many women when he grows up."

Before the eldest brother Roy could finish his words, Danielle twisted his waist hard, and he immediately shut his mouth in pain.

Danielle doesn't want her son to be a playboy when he grows up. She hopes that her child, little Haydn, can become a hero in a fairy tale epic.

"He's only a little over three months old, and he's already grown so strong. He'll definitely become a great knight like our father, the Crimson Flame."

Because of his eldest brother's previous experience, the second brother Roland was very cautious in his words. In this world where force is supreme, praising a child for being able to become a knight is a compliment that can never be wrong.

But when the dead red fire was mentioned, the atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated.

It is always sad to mention the dead life in front of the new life.

"It would be great if father could see little Haydn too." Danielle said sadly, she lowered her head, her pretty face full of loss, and her eyes were slightly red.

She still remembers the man who protected his family like a flame that infected everyone around him.

Before she was twelve years old, she was undoubtedly a real princess under the protection of her father. She was innocent and romantic, and even a dying puppy on the roadside would make her cry.

After her father passed away, the Martha family, having lost its strongest pillar, suddenly became precarious. Her mother seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. It was also at that time that she began to help her mother with official affairs. Gradually, she was exposed to more darkness and her heart became colder.

Even though her father passed away, he still left her a perfect husband, Karen, before he died, laying the foundation for her current happiness.

Born in the slums, with both parents being commoners, he rose to become a Knight of the Brilliant Moon, married the daughter of the former Lord of the South, slew the rebellious Duke, and sought the well-being of the people of the South.
His father was undoubtedly a living hero, which was why she wanted little Haydn to be a hero.

"Don't be sad, Danielle. Your father never sighed in front of his children. You are already a mother, and I hope you will do the same."

Rosa came over and hugged Danielle tightly, touching her head to comfort her.

".But you still seem to treat me like a child."

Danielle leaned on Rosa's shoulder, wiped her tears, and said with red eyes.

"No matter how old you are, you are still children in my eyes." The old woman smiled kindly.

"By the way, are all the lords from the southern territory here?" she changed the subject.

"Everyone is here. Because of your prestige, even Victor, the Night Shadow Territory Lord who has always been at odds with us, has come."

Karen walked forward and bowed slightly respectfully.

His eyes were full of gratitude as he looked towards Rosa. It was such an honor that all the lords in the land came to bless his young son!
"Humph, that deserter, if he dares not come again, I don't think he should be able to be the lord anymore."

When Rosa mentioned Victor, her eyes turned cold and her tone revealed a hint of murderous intent. Even Karen, the great knight, was shocked for a moment.

This is the true majesty of the Lord of the South. Karen thought secretly in his heart. He felt that he needed to be better to Danielle in the future. At least he couldn't always avoid her because of his back pain.

"Has Bishop Rune arrived?" Rosa asked again.

"Not yet, maybe on the way." Karen replied respectfully.

"It's not here yet." Rosa's expression suddenly became serious when she heard that.

The godfather's blessing is of great importance, and it accounts for at least half of the determining factor in the baby's final level of noble protection!

If Bishop Rune was late and failed to bless her good grandson, Rosa felt that she might even want to send someone to assassinate him!
"Let your elder and second brothers ride the Red Flame Fox to pick up Bishop Rune. After all, as the godfather of little Haydn, if he is late, the impact will be too bad." Rosa said lightly.

After hearing her words, Danielle and Karen looked at each other.

"Mother, Bishop Rune is not Haydn's godfather. We already have another candidate." Danielle said softly.

Otherwise, how could she let Bishop Rune come here by himself? She would have asked Karen to ride the Black Abyss Wolf to Twilight City to pick him up personally.

"Oh, who is that big shot?" Rosa was also curious about this.

Based on her understanding of her daughter, the fact that she was able to temporarily change the godfather meant that the new godfather must be much more noble than Bishop Rune.

Bishop Rune was only in his early thirties, but he was already the bishop of the Southern Branch of the Church of the Storm, and he was also appointed as a Storm Priest of the Morning Star rank.

Whether he is recalled to the Holy City of Windbreak, the Church of the Storm, or promoted to the bishop of the Royal City branch, his future can be said to be bright.

In the southern territory, apart from the Martha family, there are people who are more noble than this bishop. She really wants to meet them.

"I'm sorry, mother. Due to the request of that adult, I can't tell you his identity." Danielle apologized.

"But please rest assured. I am Haydn's mother. I love him. I am sure that with the blessing of this great man, little Haydn will achieve great deeds that will be recorded in epic poetry, just like his grandfather, and become a famous hero."

Danielle said solemnly, her cyan eyes were so full of determination and piety that even her mother, Countess Martha, was stunned.

Rosa had never seen her pleasure-seeking daughter like this.

Sure enough, women change after having children, and Danielle is no exception.
"Haha, then as little Haydn's grandmother, I'll just have to wait and see."

Rosa turned around and tickled Haydn's cheek in the crib with her fingers, smiling kindly.

The soft feeling from her fingertips stirred up waves in the heart of Rosa, who was already in her fifties.

It's great that she now has many children and grandchildren, her brothers are humble and respectful to her younger brothers, her daughter has a good home, and her grandson has a bright future. As an old woman, this is indeed a perfect life.

That's great, that's great. The only pity is that my husband Leo's last wish was to secretly find someone who knew the meaning of some strange words like Blue Star, Cell Phone, Sand Eagle, etc.

If you find the code and it matches, you can give the suicide note he wrote to that person.

She searched secretly for ten years but still had no clue.

Alas, this damn ghost, he won't let her rest in peace even after death.
Rosa cursed the man in her heart, and then from the worried expressions of the children beside her, she realized that a warm liquid was flowing from her eye sockets.

evening.

The night sky is like a profound painting, dotted with stars, flashing faint light like silver sand scattered casually.

Guest bedroom.

Knock, knock. Xia Mingyu was leaning on the bed reading a book when there was a knock on the door.

He stood up and opened the door, only to find the Cullens standing stiffly in front of the door.

"Come in." Xia Mingyu welcomed them into the room.

"Your Highness, the baby honor ceremony for little Haydn will begin at 10:00 AM tomorrow in the main building lobby. There will be a two-hour banquet and socializing before the official blessing ceremony begins at noon. As little Haydn's godfather, you will be the last to offer the blessing."

Karen spoke, his voice trembling a little, and he almost bit his tongue. He didn't sound like a knight who had experienced many battles.

Danielle, who was holding his arm, was also looking at him nervously.

When Xia Mingyu saw the two of them like this, he immediately guessed that they were still worried about whether he would go back on his word, so they looked so anxious.

Alas, how pitiful are the loving hearts of parents in the world!
Xia Mingyu took a deep breath and then said:

"Karen, Danielle, you have helped me a lot. You have provided me with shelter and food, and you have provided me with resources for my magic training. In my opinion, you have become my important friends."

"What's more, the matter of Godfather is no longer your request, but my responsibility."

"Because you followed my promise, you eliminated the brothel gangs, punished the criminals, and provided medical treatment for the hungry and cold villagers."

"Then I will naturally follow my duty, become Haydn's godfather, and offer him my heartfelt blessings."

Xia Mingyu said calmly.

"As a friend, please stop worrying about me breaking my promise, or I'll be really angry."

".Yes, Your Highness!"

After hearing these words, Karen was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, and Danielle's eyes also turned red.

Then the two of them looked at each other, and then they knelt on one knee in front of Xia Mingyu and bowed deeply.

"What are you doing?!"

Xia Mingyu was stunned. He wanted to help them up but found that he couldn't do it at all.

"Your Highness, perhaps in your view, this is just an agreement of equal exchange, but..." Karen raised his head, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

"Your Highness, you are the most noble man in the world, yet you can sympathize with the sorrow of the common people who do not belong to your territory, and for this reason you are willing to serve as the godfather of a mere viscount's son."

"How kind, how merciful, how noble you are!"

"Compared to you, we are undoubtedly greedy. We actually traded the happiness of our own people for such a precious wish."

"Yet you forgave and tolerated our greed, and affectionately called us greedy friends."

"Your Highness, I, Karen Hughes, swear to you that from now on, my life, the entire Hughes family, and the Black Wolf Territory all belong to you!"

"Wherever your sword points, I will lead my army to fight for you at all costs."

"From now on, the evil King of Gluttony is no longer my lord. You are my lord, and the true king that the Hughes family is loyal to!"

Karen spoke passionately for a long time, and Xia Mingyu was completely stunned.

Who am I? What am I doing? What happened?
He was only fulfilling his promise to be little Haydn's godfather, but now Karen comes over and says he no longer recognizes the king and wants to fight him from now on?!
Xia Mingyu: “.”

He never thought that one day he would be able to experience what Zhao Kuangyin felt.

"I understand. Leave now. I will be in the main building lobby on time at 10 a.m. tomorrow."

After a long silence, Xia Mingyu finally squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

He really needs to be alone and quiet.

"Yes, Your Highness, I wish you a sweet dream."

Karen and Danielle slowly stood up, then bowed respectfully before backing out of the room.

"What the hell is going on?"

After closing the door, Xia Mingyu threw himself on the soft big bed, buried his face in the layers of silk quilts, and sighed helplessly.

He always felt that Karen and Danielle seemed to have some misunderstandings about him.

Oh no, it doesn't seem to be a misunderstanding. He really wants to change this sinful world.

It is impossible for him to change the world by himself. He needs enough trustworthy partners and subordinates, or even an army that obeys his orders. To do this, he must build a team and a huge force.

And all of this had to start from the first station, just like Pei County of Emperor Gaozu of Han and Jiangdong of King Overlord of Chu.

The joining of Karen, the lord of the Black Wolf Territory, is undoubtedly a good start.

But all this is based on the premise that his blessing really has a significant effect on little Haydn.

If the blessing produced a white civilian protection, Xia Mingyu's mouth twitched.

He doubted that he would be able to walk out of the hall by then.

As fanatical as Karen and Danielle are about him now, I'm afraid they will hate him just as much by then.

"Forget it, now that things have come to this, let's go to sleep. Tomorrow I still have to bless little Haydn in front of all the lords in the territory."

Xia Mingyu let out a long breath, suppressed his inner anxiety, turned over, covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

In any case, only adequate sleep can give him enough energy to face the impermanence of life.

Ten o'clock the next morning.

As everyone expected, Hayden Hughes' baby honor ceremony finally began.

Castle hall.

The candlelight flickered, and hundreds of lit candles were inserted into the huge iron chandelier on the ceiling. The blooming candlelight illuminated the spacious hall as bright as day.

Long tables were filled with all kinds of food, including peppered venison legs, honey-roasted suckling pig, and herb-braised fish. These delicacies could be found everywhere, and there were also several lifelike roasted peacocks as the main course, and pineapple-like fruits decorated the table.

Maids in white uniforms held silver trays in their hands and shuttled among the guests, pouring wine for them.

Several musicians sat on a high platform in the corner, holding harps, flutes, lutes and other instruments, playing melodious and pleasant tunes.

There is also a painter who sets up the drawing board and waits for the ceremony to begin, then paints a picture to record the scene, which will be placed at the baby's coming-of-age ceremony when he grows up.

All the lords from the entire southern region gathered in this hall, drinking and chatting.

At the same time, Xia Mingyu also arrived here on time wearing a brand new suit.
