Arriving at the palace, Sylvia was immediately taken to her room by the buttlers and maids. Leon, Cathy, Rose, Ria and all her friends are invited to the throne room to meet the king who is ready to welcome them. A bodyguard and two servants walked them down the corridor to the throne. The two guards in front of the throne gate opened the door when they had arrived. The door opened, and in the many nobles gathered, and Lexius stood on the podium. Leon, Cathy and Rose step in with Ria and another friend. The noble's eyes on them were sharp and piercing, all looking down on them and thinking of them as ordinary citizens who did not deserve to meet the king. Rose had a reaction but his shoulders were held by Leon and Cathy. After arriving before the king, they all knelt down and bowed.
“Welcome to the capital of Oreano, heroes who have been instrumental in the war. Please raise your head and stand up.” Greet king Lexius.
Everything immediately stood up, the noble immediately whispered and gossiped because standing in front of the king was an extraordinary perversion for the noble. The king rushes off the podium and stands in front of Leon, Cathy, Rose and Ria. He greeted the four and all his friends and then stood in front of them, on the first step of the podium, two courtiers approached the king and brought a tray of 7 golden blades.
“With this, I will give Francesca, Frederick, Pauletto, Sarahesa, Laurencia (Laurie) the title of baron in this kingdom. And to Valeria, Leonard, Catherina and Rosemary I gave them the title of viscount.”
The room was immediately crowded, many of the nobles protested and said the king was unfair, but there were also those who supported the king's statement and supported him. Here it is clearly seen the faction that defends and opposes the king.
“Diaaaaam..my decision has not changed....” Shouting King.
The entire room was instantly silent hearing the cries of king Lexius blaring and echoing throughout the room. The servants who carried the tray forward and the king gave his knife to all as an emblem of the status of noble (noble). But when it comes to Leon, Cathy and Rose.
“We refuse...” Shouted the three loudly.
Ria immediately turned her head in dismay, the entire room was back noisily, a lot of noble blaspheming them.
“Lack of Dawn, don't know yourself..” Shouted a young noble.
“Huh basic commoners (ordinary citizens) who do not know are given honor.” Add a half-old noble.
And there are still many other blasphemies, either from the faction of supporters or opponents of the king. When Sylvia stood on the throne, she entered from the next room.
“Silent everyone, Leonard the same, Catherina the same, Rosemary the same is the hero of this country, even if they reject her status no problem, they remain the hero in this country, for the nobles who commented, if they refused her status, what are your services to this country ? where were you when the border was attacked, where were you when the tower was destroyed ? is it appropriate that you say such a word to the savior of this country ?” Shouting Sylvia.
As Sylvia attracted the attention of the noble, the king whispered to her and assisted Ria.
“Look, this is just a formality, you are not tied to this kingdom, but of course you need a house, for that I provide you with a title if you want to come back here, as well as Valeria.” The king of Lexius.
“Leon, Cathy, Rose, for a while we just accept it, I know you guys want to reject it, but we can't do anything if we don't have status. But please promise your majesty, we do not want to be bound in this kingdom. Oh yes, our last name is Heins.” Ria.
“I promise, the title is only for formality, but if you want to settle down, the title is already yours. As I said before.”
“Alright, we understand...” Said the three with a face of not accepting and forced.
The king began to give knives to them one by one, while Leon, Cathy and Rose discussed in their heads,
“I understand why the king made us noble (noble)...” Said Leon.
“What's Leon ? want to tie us up in this kingdom ?” Ask Cathy.
“Not, he wants to use us as bait to pull out the traitor in the body of the kingdom and among noble.” Answer Leon.
“I mean traitor related to the kingdom next door who attacked yesterday ?” Ask Rose.
“True and they intend to overthrow the king to take over the kingdom, as Rodrick sensei said and in his adoption we become nobles, for all the nobles present here we are thorns that suddenly appear, must be very disturbing to them. Things like this are common in our old world.” Answer Leon.
“Hmm is right too, meaning we are now just waiting for their reaction. But if only elevate us so nobility is not too strong and will not make the enemy move.” Cathy.
“I'm worried....there must be a continuation of his.” Said Rose.
When the king finished giving the knife as his emblem, he went upstairs and stood next to Sylvia above who had finished his speech.
“Now me and my daughter will be mumbling...viscount Leonard Heins please get on the podium.”.
Leon went straight up and stood before the king, and the king asked Leon to extend his hand and he put Sylvia's hand on Leon's.
“Today I announce the engagement of viscount Leonard Heins with daughter Sylvia von Oreano.” The king spoke loudly.
The whole room was again crowded, many young noble who were eyeing Sylvia protested loudly, even loudly challenging Leon for a duel. A commotion broke out inside the throne room and sent the guards inside to calm the chaotic situation of the protesting young nobles.
“Diaaaaam...all are decided and absolute. If anyone disagrees or rebels, will be put to death on the spot.” Shouted the king loudly.
The whole room calmed down again, the challengers retreated and lined up as before even though their faces showed displeasure. Leon noticed the faces of all the noble faces who were not happy with the king's announcement, because it was likely that they were his traitors. But Leon wanted to make sure of something.
“Um..noble, this is all just a lie right?” Leon asked whispering while facing the king.
“Iya, relax hehehe...” Answer king.
“Hehehe Sylvia.
“Why...you laugh like that...” Said Leon who became a little scared.
While in her head, Cathy and Rosa could not keep quiet and continued to speak while angry.
“I expected it, there must be shrimp behind the stone, it turns out this...huuuuuu.” Said Rose.
“Grrr........Leon, why are you quiet anyway....cake protest, what cake...” Cathy.
“Sabar..king says this is a lie...” Reply Leon.
“What lie, face it serious face...” Shouting Cathy.
“Huuuuu onii chan really stupid Added Rose.
The coronation ceremony and the engagement announcement were over, the nobles left the room, then the king asked everyone to enter the meeting room in the palace. Once inside and all were seated, king Lexius and Sylvia bowed before everyone,
“I'm sorry for involving you all.” Lexius.
Fran, Freddy, Paul, Sarah and Laurie feel bad for the king and Sylvia is down in front of them. After that, the king and Sylvia sat back down,
“Your Majesty king Lexius, of course you know who I am, it is okay to raise me to be a noble in this kingdom, if until my identity is discovered, it is okay, you who will be slandered they cooperate with my kingdom.” Said Ria firmly.
“I understand, but that's exactly what I want to lure out, the traitor certainly knows you, the princess of the kingdom of Ingrasia, Valeria Gretude Ingrasia and she will definitely move.” King's words.
“But why announce me as fiancee ojo tenka ?” Ask Leon.
“Because you are the younger brother of Valeria, the third prince of Ingresia does not appear on the surface, so the enemy must assume you are the third prince and if the third prince is engaged to the royal princess, means that there is good cooperation between the two kingdoms, this will hit them and make them do something immediately then make a mistake, that's what we are waiting for.” Reply king Lexius.
“But all this pura right?” Cathy and Rose asked firmly and stood up.
“I can't believe, why is your face like that ojo tenka Cathy.
Cathy felt uncomfortable looking at Sylvia's face because she could distinguish a truly honest and sincere person from one who had ulterior intentions. According to Cathy, Sylvia and her father, king Lexus actually betrothed Leon to Sylvia and it was not a temple.
“Quiet nee san, I know what they mean, no need to be angry..I will not agree also.” Said Leon.
“Huh...ya already, I trust you Leon...but honestly I do not believe them.” Cathy said with a frown and sat back down.
“I also huh...” Add Rose who also sits back with a pouty face and folds her hands on her chest.
Leon held onto the shoulders of the two, as he was still standing in the middle of them. While his other friends sighed in relief, as they were afraid Cathy and Rose were going berserk.
“Why don't I just be his fiancee...” Freddy and Paul with lethargic faces.
“Yaaaah....Leon san engaged.” Fran, Sarah and Laurie thought along with a lethargic face.
After the king explained his point, he clapped his hands and a servant went inside carrying a tray containing several rolls of paper and several bags of money.
“For the barons I have provided land in the territory of the kingdom which is your land and as long as you stay in the capital, you will stay in the dormitory which I have prepared especially for you. Sylvia will also be with you.” The king said, asking the servant to give his paper rolls and money bags to five barons.
“Thank you your majesty...” Said Fran, Freddy, Paul, Sarah and Laurie together while standing and looking down.
Then a male servant came inside carrying a tray containing a letter and a key to the house.
“For visocount Heins, we give you a house in the capital and its contents, as well as your acknowledgement letter that you can use at any time if you return to this kingdom.” Said the king while handing the tray he took from the buttler to Ria.
“Thank you your majesty...” Ria and Leon stood up.
Cathy and Rose remained seated while grumbling and folding their hands on the chest, but the king and Sylvia understood, they even chuckled at it. Only their friend friend looked a little frightened for fear of the king being angry with the attitude of the two. When they finished, they came out of the meeting room and were escorted out of the palace by the servants and guards.
***
After parting ways with friends Leon, Cathy, Rose, Ria and Altea, they take a train to their home address in the capital. In the car, though,
“Ria nee san, why is our last name so Heins ?” Ask Leon.
“Short for Heindrich and Ingresia hehe..not to be thought of, we are not real nobles, we are here on duty.” Answer Ria.
“I understand, Cathy nee san, Rose you guys understand right ?” Leon asked while embracing the two.
“Understanding...” Reply to both of them while pouting.
“There are following us same Leon, same Cathy, same Rose, same Ria Altea.
“I know, let it go first..in the new quiet place we clarify what they want.” Said Leon.
The train turned into a fairly quiet street, directly a man dressed in all black as a ninja sat in the driver's seat and threatened the driver with a knife to stop the train. All the people who lived on that street, closed the door and entered the house, no one dared to go out. Some people opened the carriage door and a young noble with blond, slightly fat hair was behind the door. Leon recognized the noble, because he was the one who challenged him to the duel on the throne earlier after the announcement of the engagement.
“Hey viscount Leonard Heins, get off, we finish our business here.” Her words.
“What solution ? I feel we have no business.” Answer Leon.
“You are engaged to Sylvia ojo tenka it has been my business, I have known her for a long time and I have submitted my proposal, I should her lead this country.” Her words.
“Oh so, who are you?” Tanya Ria relaxed.
“My name is count Wendell Brauster, come down, I challenge you to a duel...” Wendell.
“Good, I answered your challenge..” Cathy stood up and jumped out.
“Hey...I don't want to fight women...do not carelessly yes.” Wendell.
Cathy took off her gloves and directly threw them into Wendell's face.
“I challenged you to a duel here..” Shouting Cathy.
“Ku..color...I will make you one of my slaves and torment you every day...feel this.....godly wind, be my strength....” Wendell raised both of her hands.
Uncompleted Wendell cast her magic, Cathy's knee was already lodged in her wide face and made her bounce far back. The four ninjas who came with him were instantly stunned not daring to move, they only saw their master hovering backwards with a bonyok face and running to his aid.
“Huh over time..and a lot of crap.” Cathy said as she turned around.
The guards came over because they heard there was a commotion from the surrounding residents, they immediately pointed their spears at the ninjas and ninjas who were sitting in the driver so he raised his hands, and he was, the guards immediately asked Cathy and the driver of the train, after being told by the train driver and Cathy, the ninjas were captured by the guards. Wendell who just woke up was also immediately brought by the guard with a bony face. Leon, Rose and Ria laughed loudly in the carriage, they understood Cathy wanted to let go of her irritation from the throne and meeting room, they felt sorry for Wendell who was hit by Cathy's snoring until bonyok. Cathy got back on the train, just finished the announcement that someone was chasing them. Finally Altea came out and sat next to the driver so that nothing similar happened again.
“Note his name, later we report to king.” Ria.
“Clearly he said he wanted to marry Sylvia because he wanted to be king hahaha.if not a traitor what her name was.” Said Leon.
“But I don't think it's him who has any connection with Ingresia and that forbidden sect, because he's so weak and doesn't become a demon.” Said Rose.
“True Leon, he seems to really want to marry Sylvia to become king, but his remarks about slaves, that's the real intention why he wants to be king, he said, he intends to legalize slavery in this kingdom, perhaps.” Cathy.
“Hooo means he is not related to the kingdom of Ingresia but to the Lenox empire, so does he mean nee san ?” Ask Leon.
“True, my goodness, the enemies of this kingdom are many also yes.” Answer Cathy.
“Well that's our job right, clear up the problem of this kingdom.” Reply Ria.
“Huh I do not want ojo tenka married the pig earlier, mending onii chan deh....(conscious) ah no, I also do not want onii chan married her.” Said Rose.
“Hahaha yes already, we just finish our task here and leave this kingdom, you guys want to live quietly right?” Ask Ria.
“True nee san..” Tell third.
They continued their journey by car to their home. After turning once more, they arrived at a mansion that was as big as a mansion that belonged to a famous noble. A large multi-storey house with a very wide courtyard until it looks far from the side of the road. Everyone got off the train and looked at their new home.
“Heeee....this is our new home ?” Ask everyone while stunned at the house.
