Chapter 1561: Chapter 903: The End of the Two Princes_1 Chapter 1561: Chapter 903: The End of the Two Princes_1 In the splendid castle hall, the astonished gray pupils of the Great Prince reflected three powerful nobles with extraordinary auras.
Standing at the forefront was an indifferent looking middle-aged man.
He was dressed in a set of magnificent knight’s attire in light gold and creamy white colors, wearing a deep red velvet coat; he was similar in age to the Great Prince and had also stepped into the pri of his life.
In stark contrast to the hot-tempered Great Prince, this middle-aged man was clearly the type to keep his emotions hidden; even in the face of the tense situation before them, his expression remained calm and unwavering.
Most striking was the family crest engraved on the middle-aged man’s chest.
It was a golden stag lifting its front leg toward the sun, with thick tree-like antlers intertwined at the top – a truly unique sight.
That symbol, known not just to the princes and nobles present, but also to the commoners – even children as young as three – represented the Sanders Family, one of the Three Great Aristocracies of the Coldfla Kingdom!
Thanks to the widespread Sanders’ Trading Conference in each city of the Coldfla Kingdom, they naturally held a household reputation.
Furthermore, above the family crest of the middle-aged man from the Sanders Family, there was a long golden stripe and eight golden balls.
In the Coldfla Kingdom, this magnificent symbol was adorned by only the three most powerful nobles; those who belonged to the few Duke-level aristocrats.
His identity was clear: the current patriarch of the Sanders Family, Grand Duke Harrison Shelton!
To the left of Grand Duke Harrison, stood a slightly hunched and white-haired old man wearing luxurious sky-blue magic robes.
The blue-robed elder’s face was flushed red, with a faint smile hanging on the corners of his wrinkled mouth. Despite the superficial smile, his eyes occasionally flashed an ominous gleam.
Of course, these were not the most striking details.
The family crest engraved on the blue-robed elder’s chest also caught the eye.
It was a ferocious pterosaur, with sunset-blocking wings and a bloodstained, sharp beak – a breathtaking sight.
This unique emblem belonged to the Lancaster Clan, one of the Three Great Aristocracies of the Coldfla Kingdom.
The sa one gold stripe and eight gold balls adorned by the blue-robed elder, signifying his noble status, revealed him to be the current head of the Lancaster Clan, Duke Stone.
In contrast to the Sanders Family, which had territories concentrated in the Central region of the Coldfla Kingdom, the Lancaster Clan’s territories were all located in the western region and had been in charge of defending the Great Sunset Fortress of the Coldfla Kingdom for generations.
To counteract the neighboring Grae Kingdom, which was famous for its airships, the Lancaster Clan had built the most specialized and powerful anti-air magic corps in the Coldfla Kingdom, training the most powerful battle mages in the nation.
In summary, the overall strength of the Lancaster Clan was no less than the Sanders Family, with its trading conferences spread throughout the Coldfla Kingdom; otherwise, they couldn’t have terrified the neighboring Grae Kingdom on their own.
As for the right-hand side of Grand Duke Harrison, stood a burly and robust middle-aged man with white streaks on his temples.
The burly middle-aged powerhouse wore a set of gold and gray aristocratic attire, which accentuated his explosive muscle, giving off an overwhelming sense of pressure.
On his chest, the family crest depicted a running earth dragon, appearing strong and powerful.
This emblem was that of the Yorkman Clan, one of the Three Great Aristocracies of the Coldfla Kingdom alongside the Sanders and Lancaster families.
The sphere of influence of the Yorkman Clan was in the southern region of the Coldfla Kingdom, undertaking the defense of the Coldfla Kingdom’s southern Rainforest Fortress. In tis of border tension, they were even capable of fighting several tribes of the Prairie Kingdom without being at a disadvantage, showing their first-rate strength.
Notably, the first patriarch of the Yorkman Clan was Commander Perry of the Earth Dragon Knights during the era of the Heroic King when the Coldfla Kingdom was founded – the present training ground for the royal Earth Dragon Knights was at his behest.
As for this burly man, he was the current head of the Yorkman Clan, Duke Kent.
Seeing the heads of the Three Great Aristocratic Families, who held nearly half of the territory within the Coldfla Kingdom, gather together and stand in front of the Fourth Prince, the surrounding traditional nobles and new aristocrats couldn’t help but take a step back in astonishnt.
It should be known that the comprehensive strength of any of these Three Great Aristocratic Families was enough to rival the power of the Royal Family, which held control over the eight Main Forces Corps, the Guards Corps, the Earth Dragon Knights, and various royal cities’ Defense Armies!
For hundreds of years, the reason why the powerful Three Great Aristocratic Families have been able to coexist with the Royal Family without any conflict, was due to the checks and balances among the three, who had constantly been in a state of unspoken contention.
Now, the heads of the Three Great Aristocratic Families have co together, dropping their previous grievances to stand before the Fourth Prince – the result was self-evident.
“The Three Great Aristocratic Families, who have always claid to remain neutral, are actually supporting the Fourth Prince?!”
With this thought in their hearts, cold sweat began to slide down the forehead of the traditional aristocrats and new nobles around them.
These three heads of the aristocratic families were all top-notch powerhouses, almost unparalleled in the Coldfla Kingdom; their subordinates included capable officials and mbers of other families, who were by no ans easy to contend with.
