Chapter 501 - 371 Duke Lis Kain
Bright City, Royal Palace of Feis,
The epidemic incident in Bright City was a matter of a week ago, and in this week, under the efforts of the Feis officials and the Dawn Church, the storm had already calmed down.
Whether it was the people in Bright City infected with the epidemic or the hills outside the city where the battle took place, all had been dealt with within this week.
Yet even so, such an attack had cast a shadow over the hearts of the nobles and the populace of Bright City.
Even after a week's time, there were still many people talking about the incident, and the evening parties among the nobility had also become much less frequent.
The fact that Duke House turned out to be a follower of the All Beast Church was something a lot of nobles found incredible, and no one was willing to stand out at the time when King Morton arranged for someone to deal with the Duke's close associates.
However, the incident was, after all, in the past, and the kingdom had basically settled all matters, needing to comfort the populace and restore the normal functioning of Bright City.

And the kingdom's ennoblement ceremony was an excellent opportunity for this.
For this reason, the various decorations and arrangements within the Feis Royal Palace today were truly breathtaking.
From the Royal Palace Gates guarded by the Royal Palace Guards to the grandly decorated main hall of the palace, a fine, thick red carpet was laid straight down the main pathway, complemented with golden banners bearing the emblem of the blood-colored longsword, tall palace columns, and brightly colored wall paintings, solemn and stately.
The servants were busily shuttling between the corridors of the palace, sweeping floors that were already extremely clean, and sprinkling specially prepared rosewater, filling the air with a faint scent of flowers and fragrances that made people feel refreshed and pleased.
Although the weather in Bright City was clear and sunny today, within the magnificent palace, golden crystal chandeliers hung high, their bright light as if to dispel any darkness.
The ennoblement ceremony had not yet started, but at this moment, many nobles had already arrived in the main hall of the palace.
Unlike the party a week ago, everyone was dressed in solemn and elaborate clothing, wearing badges on their chests that symbolized their family's glory, speaking in deep voices in a low conversation with others, occasionally adjusting their attire with gloved hands to avoid impropriety in this important occasion.
In a corner of the palace, Mo Yun was following behind Ludwig, curiously observing the solemn scene inside the palace.
She should be the only player in the entire palace.
This was her first time attending such an occasion, as curious about everything as the viewers in her live streaming room.
After learning about the ennoblement ceremony being held in the Royal Palace from Ludwig, and being very curious, she insisted that Ludwig bring her along to broaden her horizons.
Ludwig thought for a while but did not refuse.
After all, Mo Yun had been very obedient lately; since the day Lis helped "persuade" her, she had been honestly training herself as he requested. Although her progress was mediocre, he did not mind.
After all, time and patience were things the Golden Dragon had in abundance.
Moreover, Ludwig was also quite curious about these kinds of ceremonies in the Human Kingdom.
After all, he intended to develop a true hero, who would surely face perilous trials, defeat the Evil Dragon, return in triumph, be ennobled by the kingdom, and marry the Princess!
Ludwig stroked his chin, holding the Heroic Epic (story book) he had bought from a Minstrel and pondered this.
Besides, coming here was no trouble for him; he got the qualification directly from the Magic Academy.
After all, the manager Boggs at the academy was aware of his relationship with the "Judgement Flame."
Mo Yun was unaware that Ludwig had everything arranged for her, even pondering the feasibility of "marrying the Princess." She was eagerly searching for a target.

"Damn, the Royal Palace scene is so well done, I'm still in the little village killing wolves!"
"Finally, the host isn't getting beaten up today, I'm crying!"
"The forum says that today, Lis Kain will be granted the title of Duke, wasn't he a Viscount when the server started last year?"
"As the main character, quite normal!"
"The year's wait is over, watch as I make my stunning return!"
-----------------
The barrage of messages rapidly refreshed, and Mo Yun's live streaming room was so hot that it even ranked among the top few on the players' forum, with more and more players clicking in after seeing the title [Wander through the Royal Palace of Feis, Watch Lis's Ennoblement].
Mo Yun was delighted to see the explosive popularity in her live streaming room, feeling that all her recent hard work had paid off.

As time went by, before the ceremony began, musicians gathered in a corner of the palace started playing cheerful music, and the melodious tune echoed in every corner of the palace.
All the assembled nobles stopped talking and looked towards the throne in the center of the palace.
A moment later, Duke Hade supported King Morton and slowly made his way before the throne to sit down.
Seeing this, many nobles frowned slightly; on such an important occasion, why was Prince Yatean absent again?
It had been two or three months since they'd last seen His Royal Highness the Prince!
Some nobles recalled the pale and weak face of the prince at the New Year's ceremony; surely, nothing had gone wrong?
Although many speculation arose in their minds, no one dared to discuss this matter on such an occasion.
King Morton's prestige and status in the Kingdom were supreme, especially after the victory in the war against Boditch Kingdom, showing that King Morton still had a lion's roar. Moreover, no one dared to speak about such sensitive matters regarding the kingdom's succession.
