Chapter 348
Chapter 348
We were told by a soldier that the emperor had summoned us, and we proceeded to the audience chamber as we were led.
Father's steps were familiar, but Farah's and Asuna's faces, as well as mine, were a little tense.
Before long, the soldier leading us stopped in front of a large, luxuriously decorated double-opened door.
Bardia, my lord. Count Rainer Bardia and son, Rid Bardia-sama. And I have brought the first princess of the Kingdom of Renalute, Fara." With a roar of voices, the door slowly opened.
A large space spreads out beyond the door, and their Majesties are seated on thrones at the far end.
Also, at both ends of the hall, the imperial nobles were standing with their posture straightened.
Looking closely, one can see the Marquis Berluti, Bergamot, and the Duke of Burns.
There is also the figure of the Duke Burns.
As I gulped at the sight and the solemn atmosphere before me, my father, who had noticed the scene, smiled.
'Hmmm, even you are afraid?
"......No, I have a warrior's tremble".
That's fine. The two of you will go before His Majesty. " My father said, and then, in the midst of all the attention of the nobles, he stepped gallantly and unhesitatingly in front of His Majesty's presence.
Fara and I looked at each other and nodded, then followed him proudly with our chests out.
When Father arrived at the center of the audience hall, he was awed and kneeled down on one knee.
We kneeled down in the same manner as he did.
Soon after, a dignified voice roared through the hall.
"You've come a long way, but we've kept you waiting a long time. Good, raise your face and make yourself comfortable."
"Now, if you'll excuse me, Your Majesty,"
Father replied in an awed voice, and I raised my head.
I looked at Their Majesties seated on their thrones without any rudeness.
The emperor, Irwin Magnolia, has clear light blue eyes and short, clean, beautiful blond hair.
His clothes are more modest than I expected, and he seems to be able to move around easily, but I get the impression that he is both elegant and luxurious, with a few decorations here and there.
At that moment, my eyes unintentionally met the emperor's. He grinned at me.
Then, the emperor smiled at me.
"Hm. Is that the son of the Reiner frontier count?"
"Yes, that's him. May my son greet His Majesty the Emperor?"
After receiving the Emperor's permission, the father sends me a signal with his eyes.
I nodded and looked straight at Their Majesties seated on the throne.
"Your Majesty, I am pleased to meet you for the first time. I am Rid Bardia, introduced to you by my father, Rainer Bardia. I would be grateful if you would make my acquaintance from now on."
"I am very pleased to make your acquaintance. And you have a very nice face. Hey, Matilda."
Yes, it's true. I would say that he is indeed the son of Count Rainer and Nanalee.
I was wondering if the greeting was all right, since Their Majesties seemed to be impressed with it. I looked at the Empress Matilda, while wondering
She has strong-willed peach-colored eyes and her light peach-colored hair is tucked back.
She is a very graceful and dignified woman.
However, I feel that she resembles someone else.
After I finished my speech, Their Majesties turned their gazes to Fara.
"And that is Fara-dono, the first princess of the Kingdom of Renalute, isn't it?"
"Yes, that's right. May she be allowed to greet Their Majesties as well?"
"Yes," the emperor's permission was given, and he glanced at her with sideways glances.
As if to push her back, he smiled with the intention of saying, 'It's all right."
Fara looked at my gesture, and after releasing her stiff expression, she once again turned her head to the front where Their Majesties were seated.
'His Majesty Irwin, His Majesty Matilda, I see you for the first time. Daughter of Elias Renalute, King of the Renalute Kingdom. I am the first princess, Fara Renalute. However, I have now married Rid Bardia, son of the Bardia family, and have changed my name to Fara Bardia. Please make your acquaintance with me from now on." After saying these words, she bowed with a beautiful gesture.
"You are indeed the princess of the kingdom of Renalute. She is a princess of the kingdom of Renalute, and her speech is just as wonderful as that of Rid, Reiner's son. However, as you are probably already aware, this marriage is intended to further strengthen the relationship between our two countries Therefore, please be careful what you say and do."
"
Yes, I am aware of that. I will do my best to make the relationship between our two countries stronger and better," Farah nodded smilingly, undaunted by the emperor's words.
The dignified appearance of the emperor is reminiscent of her mother, Eltia.
I heard exclamations of "Oh" from the nobles who witnessed the resolute exchange between Their Majesties and me and Fara.
Soon after, Matilda, who had been gazing at Farah, narrowed her eyes while covering her mouth with a fan.
'Heh. Fara Bardia. Your appearance that you are not afraid of us at all, you are indeed royalty."
" I hope both of you will continue to serve the country in the future."
I bowed my head to their majesties' words.
No one from the imperial nobility around him pointed out anything that would fry him.
I wonder if this is the right way to address Their Majesties.
While I was thinking so, His Imperial Majesty asked my father.
'Well, Rainer. Today, I have heard that you have some products developed in the Bardia territory and some offerings entrusted to you by Renalute. I would like to hear about them here.
"I understand. Then I will explain it to you."
Father answers the Emperor and gives me a signal with a look.
The greeting to Their Majesties is important, but it is this offering that will have a great impact on the future development of the Bardia territory.
Now, the real deal begins.
Let's keep my head on straight.
I nodded to my father.
