The Whispering Verses Chapter 214: Rejed’s Hamilton

King Larus III, the Fire Jumper, came here at the stroke of seven o'clock. The king had many things to do, and everyone expressed their understanding.

Ten minutes before the king arrived, the king's attendants found Shade and informed him that he would be awarded the title of knight in ten minutes, so he now needed to urgently train on the procedures and etiquette.

"No need, I've already learned it once."

Xia De quickly waved his hand and refused, and the attendant did not ask any more questions. He just asked Xia De not to return to the banquet hall, but to wait aside with the attendant in case he could not find anyone for a while.

So the whole process went on in an orderly manner, and the arrival of His Majesty the King brought the atmosphere to its peak. Under a crystal chandelier that looked like it might be worth thousands of little Mias, the King and Queen attended the event together and delivered speeches.

Shad listened on the sidelines. The general meaning of his speech was that Queen Diana was safe and all conspiracies would be foiled. The royal family once again issued a condemnation of Kasenrik.

After the reporters who had been summoned lit up their magnesium flashlights, filling the place with dazzling white light and drifting smoke, His Majesty the King briefly talked about the recent cases of missing children that have caused panic.

He only spoke a few words and then left temporarily. The representative of Ridwich Field reported the follow-up situation to the guests at the banquet. The specially invited reporters had already received the speech and were looking for suitable angles to shoot. .

Tomorrow's front page headline will definitely be the photo of His Majesty the King and the safe Queen Diana, while the Rydwich Field and the series of missing children cases can be ranked on the third page.

As for the protagonist who has already booked the second version, he is looking around the banquet hall. This was a quite formal banquet. The gentlemen and ladies were all dressed in the most appropriate clothes. Even the maids and servants were in uniform.

Shad still didn't understand whether the Miss Bayas he saw just now was a dazzle or something else, but twenty minutes passed and he couldn't see that figure again.

The speeches of the king and the police chief echoed in his ears, but Shade was too distracted to listen. The things they told were either already known to Shade, or they were not true at all. Boring speeches would make people sleepy in any world.

He even thought that these speeches were not as interesting as the Rhodes cards for a while.

I suddenly came back to my senses when I heard my name, and it turned out that I had reached the conclusion stage of the case:

"So, the enthusiastic citizen Mr. Hamilton and the loyal Captain Lades worked together to assist Ridwich Field in destroying the case of missing children in Tobesk City in the summer of 1053. Mr. Hamilton even showed himself during this period. Loyalty to the royal family and her own bravery protected Queen Diana from the assassins."

He nodded slightly in the direction of Sha De and saluted. People nearby also looked over. Sha De immediately stood up and returned the greeting, then continued to sit down and wait for his turn.

But after that, more and more people were quietly watching Sha De. The young detective's good looks and relaxed posture are easy to make people like him. Shade himself did not realize this. All his thoughts were focused on "whether Miss Bayas was a hallucination."

The last step is to reward merit, and the king's attendants will read out the list of awards. Xia De believed that putting this link at the end was to prevent the recipient from paying attention to the official speech after winning the award.

There is no rule of alphabetical order here. The first name mentioned is "Shad Hamilton". The attendant read the resolution loudly, and Shade also stood up:

"In view of the bravery and integrity shown by Mr. Shard Suellen Hamilton, as well as his great loyalty to the royal family, after discussion in Parliament and the deliberation of the royal family——"

A very deliberate pause, but it also arouses the mood very well.

"Mr. Hamilton is hereby granted the title of 'Knight of Rejed'."

The sound fell, and the banquet hall was silent for a few seconds, and then the sound spread from the front to the entire banquet hall.

This matter had obviously not been leaked before the banquet, so when the knighthood title that had not been awarded for hundreds of years was mentioned, even the most well-behaved people couldn't help but talk to each other in low voices.

Everyone looked at the young man who stood up. Shade nodded to everyone who looked at him, and everyone returned the favor. Especially the young girls, those eager eyes from all directions made Shade feel that his body temperature was rising.

【How do you feel? 】

She asked softly in his ear.

"It's pretty good. Fortunately, I didn't bring little Mia out, otherwise the timid cat would definitely be frightened by this scene."

He was joking in his mind, but he was actually in a pretty good mood.

At the same time as the discussion started, the band that had been prepared played music, and the king and queen led dozens of people, including Miss Carina, to appear to award Shade the honor.

Generally, the awarding of titles does not require so many people, but this time it was to protect the queen, and the royal family certainly made a sufficient gesture.

When the king, whose hairline was worrying, called out Shade's name, a pair of servants laid out a red carpet on top of the original carpet, extending from the height where the king stood to the main entrance of the banquet hall.

Shade adjusted his clothes before walking onto the red carpet, and then walked along the red carpet to the king under the gaze of the guests attending the banquet.

Everyone present looked at Sha De, but the outsider was inexplicably not nervous at all:

“This is not even as many people as when the degree was awarded.”

He said in his heart, and then saluted according to the etiquette he learned not long ago. The attendant pressed down his hands to make people quieter, and the band's trombones and French horns made a low and majestic sound at this time.

The flashlight kept flashing, King Larus III took a long sword from the attendant beside him, and put the long sword on Shade's shoulder. This action can be paused for three seconds so that reporters can take photos for tomorrow's second page.

The subsequent process seemed quite boring to Shade. The king read out the royal family's decision to grant the knighthood and encouraged Shade to continue to show his loyalty and bravery.

Then the knight's medal and sword were handed to Shade, and the two stood together for reporters to take pictures.

Shad noticed that the middle-aged king next to him was definitely not as tall as himself, but he wore a pair of high-heeled boots with sapphire buttons on them.

With today's black-and-white photography technology and newspaper printing technology, tomorrow's newspaper photos will definitely not let the public discover the secret of the King's boots. In this way, it will be better to see Larousse III wearing a crown than without a hat. Shade is taller.

"It turns out that Miss Servit repeatedly told me not to wear a hat just now. It's for this reason."

Xia De thought in his mind, and then heard the old cameraman who got behind the camera mask loudly reminding him to look at the camera.

I thought of Mia running to the door on time every morning to remind him to get the goat's milk, and a natural smile appeared on Shade's lips.

The flashbulb flashed and burning smoke floated into the sky. The banquet hall was brightly lit, and the so-called upper class nobles applauded and congratulated.

Shad stood side by side with the king, maintaining a fixed smile. The light shone on them, shadows swayed under their feet, smoke drifted from above their heads, waves of sound came, and the heated atmosphere reached its peak at this moment.

Everything in the banquet hall seemed to be moving, but they were the only ones motionless in the interplay of light and shadow.

This scene will be remembered by people for many years.
