Chapter 63: Heldenstein(3)
"Oh my, are all the duchies gathered here?" A sweet, mellow voice stopped everyone in their tracks.
Felix and Leona, who were bickering just a second ago, stopped. Their eyes widened at the figure that approached them.
Cynthia had the same reaction while Alea just stood there with her usual air of indifference. Raiden shifted his gaze from Elisabeth to the new person who had woven themself into their group.
Platinum blonde hair that gently cascaded down her back in elegant waves, evoking her regality. Her crimson eyes boasted kindness and confidence, sweeping over the whole group of nobles.
She wore the same white coat with a silver brooch, but there was something else that separated her from the others. It was not the air of elegance around her that made everyone follow her.
Well, it was a part of it.
But the thing that demanded the most attention, other than her heavenly beauty, was a gold brooch that hung from her coat. It had the symbol of a dark son carved out of obsidian with a sword standing in the middle of it.
It was the mark of the Royal Family of the Germainia Empire.
And the one bearing it was the 2nd Princess of Germainia, Celestina Kaiserfalken Von Germainia.
Raiden deftly kneeled in front of her. His head lowered. "Ehre dem Blut der Germania. Heil, Prinzessin Celestina Kaiserfalken von Germania." (A/N: Honour to the blood of Germania. Hail, Princess Celestina Kaiserfalken von Germania.)
Soon after him, Leona, Elisabeth, Cynthia, Felix and even Alea followed. The males were bending one knee while the females lifted the hem of their black skirts, bending at the waist.
