There were a few ministers that were gone, but most of the ones that had been here before were still standing around.
As soon as they saw us co in, they imdiately took their places like before.
The king just ignored all of them as he walked right up to the throne and sat down.
Then while sitting there, he waved his hand at as if telling to co forward.
I looked at Scar and Shaka, but both of them just stood where they were standing. They were giving gestures as if telling to go up to the throne.
I could also see the ministers looking at with different expressions.
It was clear that I was the center of attention.
So I had no choice but to move in front of the throne.
Once I was there, I kneeled down and waited for the king to give his orders.
The king just raised his hand and said, "Rise."
With that, I stood back up and looked up at the king sitting there on his throne.
The king looked around the room before saying, "I have called you all back here for one reason."
All of the ministers knitted their brows when they heard this and they all turned to look back at .
Seeing this situation, they all knew that it was related to , but they had no idea what was going to co.
I had given them quite a few surprises today, this was not sothing that they would forget so easily. So they were naturally all curious what other surprise I would give them now.
After a pause, the king continued by saying, "I'm sure that all of you know that we've had a dwarven ambassador arrive in our capital city today."
All of the ministers couldn't help revealing bitter smiles when they heard this.
How could they forget this?
It had just happened not that long ago, it was impossible that they would already forget about this.
After another pause, the king continued by saying, "The one who brought this group of ambassadors is the one in front of you right now. It is our own Viscount Zwein."
None of the ministers were surprised since they had already heard what Elsa had said and seen that they had co with him.
They all already knew this.
But they couldn't help wondering why the king had suddenly brought this up.
lightsΝοvεl ?οm The king waited for a bit before saying, "For this rit, we naturally need to reward Viscount Zwein."
The mont that his voice fell, everyone couldn't help knitting their brows.
That included as I could guess what was about to happen.
One of the ministers couldn't help stepping forward and saying, "Your majesty, while this is a large rit, this is sothing that should be done as a noble of this kingdom. Is there really a need for…"
Before he could finish his words, the king suddenly narrowed his eyes to glare at him.
The mont that this minister saw this glare fall into him, he imdiately bowed his head as if he didn't dare stare at him.
After glaring down this minister, the king said, "So are you suggesting that we ignore the rit that Viscount Zwein has perford? Or are you saying that you are doubting our judgent?"
The minister trembled once more when he heard this, but he didn't dare say anything.
The king's eyes swept over the rest of the ministers and none of them dared to et his gaze.
The king was fully releasing his aura as he said this, almost turning into a completely different person.
After a long silence, the king finally said, "Then it seems like there's no one else who has an objection to this."
At this point, it was impossible for any of them to have an objection.
All of the ministers were actually shocked by how this had developed.
None of them had thought that the king would be this adamant over this matter.
If the king really insisted on this, there really wasn't anything that they could do about this.
But the one that felt the most bitter about this was….
I didn't want any of this in the first place, but now I had no choice in this matter.
Especially after the display that the king had just given.
If I were to say anything now…
After he said this, the king looked back at and said, "For his rit, we shall be honouring Viscount Zwein with a special reward."
He waved his hand at the servant beside him and that servant ca forward to bring a scroll on a pillow forward.
That servant ca right up in front of and presented that scroll to .
I hesitantly took it, but I still took it in the end.
Seeing that I took it, the king gave a nod as if he was telling to open it and read it.
I slowly opened it up and couldn't help revealing a bitter smile when I saw what was written.
It was another rank.
This ti, I was being raised from a Viscount to a Count.
This was the piece of paper that had the king's decree for that.
After seeing that I had opened it up, the king said, "For his rits this ti, we shall grant Viscount Zwein the rank of Count."
When they heard this, all of the ministers revealed bitter looks on their faces.
They had also expected this, but the looks on their faces were better than before.
They had thought that the king would go much further than this, but a count…that was sothing that they could accept.
After he said this, the king looked at as if he was expecting sothing.
I had no choice but to bow to him and say, "Thank you, your majesty for this honour. I shall not let down the responsibilities that co with this title."
After saying this, I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile while my face was hidden.
