Chapter 1259: Chapter 754: Princess’s Speech_1 Chapter 1259: Chapter 754: Princess’s Speech_1 “To all citizens of the Coldfla Kingdom, good morning.”
Standing on the podium, Ariel Watson, her fair face filled with calmness and warmth, spoke loudly to the densely packed crowd below: “I am Ariel Ward, the nineteenth-generation king of the Coldfla Kingdom, the daughter of Steel Arm King Bardet Ward, and the current fifth princess of the kingdom.”
As soon as Ariel said this, the new citizens below who had been whispering to each other suddenly fell silent.
In their eyes, which had been filled with doubt and confusion, there appeared a touch of excitent that could not be suppressed.
Especially for the new citizens standing in the front row, gazing at Ariel’s nearly flawless delicate face, they couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, even unwilling to blink again.
The one standing in front of them is the absolute ruler of the Coldfla Kingdom, the fifth princess of the royal family, how noble and elegant she is! How unattainable her existence is!
And yet, such a distinguished figure has now appeared in person before them!
But they were just a group of ordinary civilians, not worthy of a princess taking the stage to speak to them personally?
However, this excitent didn’t last long.
Soon, the sudden excitent in the crowd was quickly replaced by uncertainty and distrust, even turning into apprehensive gazes.
Even so, not long ago, in the just-ended war, many of their relatives and friends had taken up arms and swung them viciously at this lofty princess.
Now that the war has co to an end, will the victorious princess take her anger out on them?
Furthermore, under the princess’s guidance, the shackles on the free farrs have been removed.
Even if the princess doesn’t personally take action, with the support of the princess, how could those free farrs, whom they have oppressed for so long, let them go easily?
The key issue is, how will they settle the accounts for their relatives and friends who died in the war?!
Thinking of this in their hearts, the new citizens’ gazes grew even more guarded, their ears pricked up as they listened for what Ariel would say next.
On the stage, Ariel’s slender eyelashes sparkled, and she quickly noticed the changing emotions of the crowd below.
Her small, delicate crown above her head shimred brightly, and she still maintained her gentle expression, smiling and saying, “Today, I stand here for one purpose, and that is to make a request to you all, in the hope that you will grant it.”
“The noble princess, asking a request from us insignificant, even hostile, new citizens?”
As soon as Ariel said this, there was an uproar below, and everyone began to look at each other, and then listened even more curiously.
“In fact, my request is simple – I hope that together with , we can build our holand even more brilliantly.”
In Ariel’s expression, there appeared a touch of longing for the future, full of expectations in her smile, earnestly saying, “No matter what has happened, I just want to stand firm with everyone present and move forward.”
“So, Princess, do you forgive us for our disrespectful actions of attacking you before?”
Upon hearing Ariel’s words, the tension in the crowd noticeably eased sowhat.
But their questioning eyes still remained guarded.
Even if the princess didn’t pursue it, what about the newly freed farrs?
One can imagine that with the support of the princess, those free farrs would surely retaliate and bully them, just as they had done to the free farrs before the war.
“Everyone, I hope you understand one very important thing.”
In Ariel’s tone, there was an undeniable authority: “That is, in my eyes, there is no difference between you and the free farrs.”
“What I have been doing all along has not favored either side, but simply restored the rights that free farrs originally had, that’s all.”
“If you had been treated unfairly, I would still fight for you, shedding blood until you were freed from your chains.”
Ariel’s clear, gentle voice was strong and resolute: “Because each of you is a citizen of my Coldfla Kingdom, an indispensable part of my kingdom!”
As Ariel spoke, many people below were visibly moved, and so even had tears welling up in their eyes.
Before the end of the war, they had treated the princess as an enemy to be eradicated, wishing to eliminate her quickly and then receive rewards from the nobles who had once dominated here.
But after the war, the victorious princess not only did not bla them for their rudeness and offense but also treated them as an indispensable part of the kingdom. She was even willing to fight to protect them… Such a broad-mindedness, how could they not be grateful and tearful?
“All of you, my citizens of Coldfla, I have already formulated laws and begun to implent them fairly. If any of the free farrs dare to harm any of you, I will severely punish them.”
