"I?"
Seated on his throne, looking down at the many nobles below, Luo Tian spoke slowly and indifferently:
"You may address me as His Highness the Regent!"
Chapter 185 You've only been in office for one day!
The nobles present stared in shock at Luo Tian, who sat regally on the throne, his nonchalant words echoing in their minds.
Then, they snapped out of their shock and roared angrily.
"absurd!"
"This is simply unreasonable!"
"How dare such an impudent person wreak havoc on the court?"
......
The nobles present were utterly enraged.
Their anger stemmed not from Luo Tian's impersonation of the regent and his violation of imperial authority.
For a prince's lover to call himself regent is undoubtedly a challenge to the princess's authority. If this were heard elsewhere, people would be quite happy to see it happen.
However, this was a noble banquet, a grand gathering of many celebrities from the Great Yin Empire.
Luo Tian calls himself the Regent, and should be regarded as a prince. He is undoubtedly the person with the highest status among everyone present.
Their real anger stemmed from the fact that someone they had previously regarded as a lowly commoner dared to call himself regent and, in this capacity, openly sit above them.
This was undoubtedly a crushing blow to their noble bloodline and family honor, which was an insult that the vast majority of nobles could not tolerate.
At this moment, a nobleman glared angrily, and some of the more impatient ones even began to summon the guards outside the palace, preparing to have them kill Luo Tian in the name of upholding the dignity of the royal family.
Marquis Yue's face was now extremely gloomy.
Suppressing his anger, Marquis Yueshan waved his right hand, and his three demigod-level guards stepped forward, their oppressive gazes fixed on Luo Tian on the throne of the Sun King.
A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and the Marquis of Yueshan thought with disdain:
"As expected of someone from a humble family, they'll say anything to save face."
"If he were to claim the title of Prince, that would be one thing—it wouldn't be impossible for Yin Qianyu to do so—but how could he possibly relinquish such an important position as Regent?"
"The regent represents the legitimate right of succession to the power of a country, and even if she becomes empress, she cannot deny the legitimacy of the regent."
"Only tools and titles cannot be given to others"—how could Yin Qianyu not understand such a basic principle?
"This must be a fabrication by Luo Tian. Her Highness the Princess could never be so foolish."
With this thought in mind, Marquis Yueshan looked at Shuangye, the former head maid of the palace, and asked her in a deep voice:
"The head maid of Frosty Nights, this arrogant fool dares to call himself the regent."
As the head lady-in-waiting, don't you have even the slightest intention to uphold the prestige of the royal family?
Yue Shanhou's eyes grew increasingly fierce. On the eve of Yin Qianyu's return to the capital, Shuangye led the palace maids and the Dark Sun Guard to slaughter the Yin clan, destroying many of his plans within the clan.
Previously, there was no opportunity to make a move against Shuangye, the head maid of the palace. Now that things have developed to the point where Luo Tian has touched Yin Qianyu's power, he can take the opportunity to drag Shuangye into the mess and avenge the destruction of his plans.
However, faced with Yue Shanhou's questioning, Shuang Ye, standing beside the throne, responded with her dark, beautiful eyes devoid of any emotion, her red lips parting slightly:
"The matter of the Regent was mentioned by Her Highness the Eldest Princess herself."
"What a joke!" Marquis Yueshan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he retorted without thinking, "You wicked servant dare to collude with Luo Tian to deceive the Princess. Are you plotting treason?"
Shuangye stared intently at Yue Shanhou, her dark, beautiful eyes unfathomable like black holes, and her clear, cold voice slowly echoed in the hall.
"Whether the Eldest Princess said this or not is easy to find out by asking. Why is Marquis Yueshan so firmly refuting the Eldest Princess's words? Could it be that he has ulterior motives?"
The rage in Yue Shan Hou's heart was instantly extinguished, and he slowly sank under the gaze of the frosty night.
He knew Shuangye's loyalty to Yin Qianyu very well. Since Shuangye spoke so confidently, it must be true.
Luo Tian's self-proclaimed identity as Regent was indeed recognized by Yin Qianyu, which is enough to prove that Luo Tian's identity is far more important than he imagined.
Although it has not yet been legally recognized, once Yin Qianyu, who is the highest nominal ruler of Dayin, approves it, even the Noble Council will be unable to stop it.
Attacking Luo Tian now on the grounds that he has not been formally appointed as regent is not very meaningful.
Thinking of this, Marquis Yueshan realized that unless he forced someone to suppress Luo Tian, he was destined to suffer this loss.
Meanwhile, in the exhibition halls on either side of the main hall, a young and beautiful maid cautiously walked into the hall.
After a moment of doubt, the maid's gaze lingered between Luo Tian and the three marquises before finally settling on Luo Tian, who appeared more imposing and superior on the throne.
"Your Excellency, the exhibition hall is ready. Shall we begin displaying the spoils and treasures from this interdimensional war?"
With his right hand supporting his cheek, Luo Tian glanced at the beautiful maid who was trembling like a little quail, and raised an eyebrow, saying:
"Now that the five alien kings have received their due judgment, it is only right to begin displaying the spoils of war."
"Lord Marquis Yueshan, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Marquis Yueshan remained silent with a gloomy face.
The maidservants retreated into the exhibition hall, where cylindrical platforms began to rise in the exhibition halls on both sides of the main hall. Rare treasures from the five planes were slowly displayed in the pillars of light before the many nobles in the hall.
At this point, the nobles present felt as if these spoils of war were slapping them in the face, and naturally lost all interest in continuing to examine these rare treasures.
Below the throne, Marquis Yueshan gave the young regent on the throne a deep look, then waved his hand and said in a low voice:
"go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Marquis Yueshan turned and walked towards the gate.
Behind him, many nobles, including the two marquises Wengert and Suen, also chose to leave, making the originally lively banquet seem somewhat empty.
Luo Tian paid no attention to the departing nobles, and leisurely sat on the throne, looking at the exhibits.
But as his gaze swept over a corner, the smile on Luo Tian's face vanished instantly.
The large blue scissors and the cute rag doll that used to be there have disappeared.
"Did I let you go?"
A cold voice rang out in the main hall of the Sun King's palace, stopping the many nobles who were about to step out the door.
Leave behind what you stole!
Marquis Yueshan laughed in extreme anger, and sternly rebuked him:
"Even in the palace, I can come and go as I please. Doesn't Your Highness the Regent think you're meddling a bit too much?"
You should know that your identity has not yet been legally recognized and made public to the various nobles.
Forgive my bluntness, Your Highness Regent, but this is only your first day in office!
Before the words had even finished, Marquis Yueshan saw Luo Tian on the throne spread his five fingers and gently clench them towards the front.
The next moment, the demigod guards standing in front of Marquis Yueshan were as if they were being squeezed by an invisible hand, turning into a lump of flesh in the void, with splattered blood even landing on Marquis Yueshan's face.
Then, an indifferent voice rang out.
"so what?"
Chapter 186 The Duke has been killed, but the Marquis is still the first!
In fact, Luo Tian never intended to kill anyone, at least not during the banquet.
This was, after all, an official welcoming banquet hosted by the Great Yin Empire, representing the face of the Great Yin Empire. It wouldn't be appropriate for Luo Tian to make a move here, given Yin Qianyu's reputation.
As a considerate husband, Luo Tian naturally didn't want to cause trouble for his wife.
But right after the exhibition began, Luo Tian discovered that the scissors and doll that symbolized the Lingluo doll Gwen had disappeared, and even the broken stopwatch, the poodle's teeth, and the True Sight Guardian had vanished without a trace.
If an item goes missing, it can be explained as a problem with the exhibition setup, and that it wasn't placed on the display stand.
Several items related to Summoner's Rift that were in different exhibition halls have disappeared together, which must be suspicious.
If the servants in charge of the banquet didn't dare to touch those treasures, then the answer is obvious: some nobleman must have taken those items for himself.
In fact, among his many collections, apart from the Lingluo doll, Luo Tian did not necessarily need the other items.
The broken stopwatch and the poodle's teeth were completely irrelevant to him.
The only value of True Sight Ward might be that once he activates Teleport, he can place wards and teleport.
These things weren't of much value to him.
But just because Luo Tian doesn't necessarily need it doesn't mean that others can take it at will.
It's important to know that these spoils of war all came from the five major planes. It can be said that Luo Tian destroyed the allied forces of the five major planes in one fell swoop, which allowed these spoils of war to be brought back.
Strictly speaking, most of these spoils should belong to Luo Tian, and it would be perfectly reasonable for him to tell Yin Qianyu that he would take them all.
Now that his things had been stolen, and that it involved his grand plan to raise the Lingluo Doll, Luo Tian felt an unusual surge of anger.
Marquis Yue Shan wiped the blood splattered on his face, a hint of fear showing in his eyes that were full of anger.
The ability to casually annihilate a demigod indicates a power level that is absolutely at the level of a true god.
Despite an instinctive unease in his heart, Marquis Yueshan did not back down.
Putting aside the strength supporting him, neither the two empires represented by Marquis Sun and Marquis Wengert would back down under such circumstances.
Marquis Yue Shan stared directly at Luo Tian and roared:
"Your Highness, are you plotting a rebellion by wantonly slaughtering imperial nobles and guards?"
Luo Tian's gaze swept indifferently over the crowd, and he lightly tapped the armrest of the throne with his index finger, saying:
"I told you, the little thief will come out on his own, and everyone else can get lost!"
Marquis Yue Shan seemed to have thought of something; his eyes flashed, but his face remained full of anger.
"What theft? What little mouse?"
"Everyone here is a nobleman; this is a blatant slander against them!"
Luo Tian snorted coldly: "Where did those items that were originally placed on those display stands go?"
"Should I remind Marquis Yueshan?"
An eye-shaped icon flashing red light, a broken tooth, a tattered pocket watch, and a large blue pair of scissors with a rag doll hanging from it.
As he spoke, Luo Tian's gaze fell upon Marquis Yueshan.
