Chapter 188 - 177: Night Banquet (Part 3)
"What’s all the noise about?" The executing minister accompanying the queen scanned his surroundings and spoke gravely, "Do you realize that the queen is hosting a banquet for you today? To come to blows at such an important event, what sort of behavior is this?!"
"Replying to your excellency, it was Baron Yitian who allowed his demon beasts to commit atrocities under his indulgence. Seeing this, the younger generation could not sit idly by and intervened, which is why the dispute arose." Young Master Tianxing’s words received unanimous agreement from the crowd.
The executing minister turned toward Lu Hong, his voice cold as he asked, "Baron Yitian, do you have any rebuttal?"
Before Lu Hong could speak, Nono said, "Alright, it’s all trivial matters, let’s not delay the commencement of the feast."
"But..." The executing minister wanted to say something else, but upon seeing the queen’s expression, he was very clear about the consequences of talking back, so he spoke solemnly, "Since the queen has spoken, we shall set aside this matter for now."
Nono looked around and then spoke, "Everyone, please rise. You are the future of the empire. I congratulate you for successfully passing the preliminary competition and becoming candidate members of the Roland Knights."
"For the empire, for her majesty the queen!"
Lu Hong believed that such a neat slogan must have been instructed beforehand.
"Thank you," continued Nono. "This banquet is a treat for you all. The selection of the Roland Knights will enter the practical combat stage in three days. I hope that after the trial is over, I can still see all of your familiar faces."
Once Nono finished his brief speech, the executing minister began to announce the follow-up procedure for the selection of the Roland Knights.
