In the royal palace hall, numerous people had gathered to witness the ceremony.
"I feel like Earl Ardagan will rise to the peak with this."
"Right? He has achieved something that no one has ever seen before."
"Even the last invasion was three hundred years ago. And it took more than five great nobles to take action, including a hundred thousand troops."
"But isn't this ceremony going to be used to attack the Earl?"
"That's a pity."
"A light too bright will cast a very dark shadow. Everyone is waiting for the chance to devour this light."
The nobles inside the hall were split into three. The majority actually maintained their neutrality or more like they wanted to wait and see first before taking action.
Meanwhile, the royal faction was the second largest. Their eyes were filled with anger as if they were ready to crush Noel in this ceremony.
The smallest faction were the nobles who supported Noel. However, most of them came from the connection to Marquis Stargaze.
These three factions were observing each other.
"His Majesty the King is entering the hall." The soldier opened the gate while declaring it out loud.
All the nobles fell to their knees to pay respect no matter which faction they were.
The king finally entered the room. His complexion wasn't that good as though he hadn't slept for a few days.
As soon as he sat down on his throne, the king said, "You may rise."
The people stood up once again, but the atmosphere had turned tense. They didn't dare to speak another word, fearing that the king would take action against them.
Even the royal faction waited until other factions spoke up first so that they wouldn't be branded as overstepping their bounds by speaking before their master said anything.
The tension was so high that people felt time had slowed down. It only took five minutes before Noel arrived at the royal court, but it felt like they had been standing for more than half an hour.
They only wished for Noel to come first.
Finally, the soldier opened the gate once more. "Earl Noel Ardagan is entering the hall."
