Chapter 46: My engagement as a princess was broken off?

This was the first time Deya met His Majesty the King of Susaytani.

He was a little bloated and always had a smile on his face. At first glance, he looked like the kind of good-natured king who just wanted to eat and wait for death.

But who could have imagined that this king was so shrewd and cunning.

Beside the king were his queen and three children.

Except for the queen, all the members of the king's family had blonde hair. They waved to the many nobles present with polite smiles.

The second prince followed his sister, Princess Theresa.

While smiling and waving to the nobles who were applauding, he said to his sister, “Teresa, today my father will announce your engagement.

With the support of Lord Cavendish, I will be one step closer to the throne."

His voice was not loud, but just loud enough for the eldest prince next to him to hear.

The eldest prince glared at him fiercely, but he still maintained a decent smile and interacted with the nobles present, which made his face look a little funny.

When the second prince saw his brother's look, he snorted in his heart.

This time he whispered a warning to his sister: "I suppressed all the bad things you did.

As long as you can get me the support of the Cavendish family, and wait for me to ascend the throne, you can do whatever you want after that.

You can choose to divorce, or you can mess around, I can support you, but the premise of all this is to get the support of the Cavendish family first, do you understand?"

Princess Teresa said impatiently:
"I understand. Don't worry. That idiot Deya will do whatever I tell him to do. I will ask him to go find his father to help you."

"hope so."

The two stopped talking and continued to maintain their proper smiles and manners.

For the royal family, these face-saving projects are more important than anything else.

The king walked to the front, and under the gaze of many nobles, he took the speech, used the power of magic to amplify his voice, and gave a speech.

He first thanked all the nobles who came here to celebrate his birthday, and thanked them for traveling thousands of miles from their fiefdoms.

Then His Majesty the King reviewed the major events and achievements the Kingdom had encountered in the past year.

He also expressed his gratitude to the nobles for completing the assigned tasks, looked forward to the future, and sent his blessings.

"In the end, I hope you can have fun here. Today, I am not your King, but your friend!"

The nobles applauded again and the band played soothing tunes again.

All gatherings of nobles are stages for socializing. For nobles, socializing is more important than anything else.

As His Majesty the King finished his speech, the Grand Duke of Susaitani and their representatives first presented the King with a birthday gift.

Those birthday gifts were very tacky, either ornaments inlaid with precious gems or some rare works of art.

These things have only one thing in common, and that is they are valuable!

"Our King makes a lot of money every year on his birthday."

Standing next to Earl Cavendish, Deya complained in his heart.

There were hundreds of nobles and relatives attending the king's birthday party in the palace.

Among these people were landed nobles with real power as well as honorary nobles working in high-level government positions.

Each of them had to present a gift to the king.

Everyone knew the king's preferences, and for fear of being bullied by the king, they were very cautious about giving gifts.

When these nobles celebrated their birthdays, the king ignored them except for the four grand dukes.

I don’t know how much I made after all this.

After the four dukes and their representatives presented birthday gifts to the king, it was the earls' turn.

And among all the earls, the Cavendish family ranks first.

Many eyes were looking at Deya and his father.

"Behave yourself, Deya. I haven't prepared any gifts for our king. If you can't get the king to cancel the engagement, we will be embarrassed."

Earl Cavendish said humorously, he patted Deya on the shoulder and pushed him out gently.

When the nobles present saw that the person who was going to present the gift to the king was not Earl Cavendish himself but his second son, they were all stunned.

But soon, everyone showed ambiguous smiles again.

The nobles had already received news that the king would announce this long-planned marriage at his birthday party.

Only those nobles who owned territories and whose wealth were being illegally seized by the king sneered in their hearts at this time.

They looked at the Cavendish father and son with hostility.

You are betraying the workers... no, you are betraying the aristocracy!

When His Majesty the King saw Deya approaching, the smile on his face became even more amiable. The bloated king opened his hands and said happily: "Look, I have always heard that our future Earl of Cavendish is shy and rarely attends banquets.

But today, not only did he come to the banquet, he also bravely stepped forward to become the focus.

It seems that love can really change people. Let us applaud the courage of the future Earl Cavendish."

The nobles applauded again, whether it was sincere or not, they always had to create a good atmosphere.

Earl Cavendish, who was clapping his hands, snorted in his heart. His Majesty the King was trying to sow discord within their family.

What is the future Earl of Cavendish? He has an eldest son.

The king's words would create conflict between the eldest and second sons of the Cavendish family.

Deya also came before the king with a polite aristocratic smile.

He frowned slightly at this time and noticed a middle-aged man next to the king.

The middle-aged man was wearing an elegant wizard robe with a badge with strange geometric patterns on it.

This is the wizard of the Crescien Incantation!
And seeing that he is following the king, he must be a high-ranking person in the secret meeting, or even the president!

Deya subconsciously clenched the wooden box in his hand.

Patricia was the one he snatched from the Crescien Incantation.

However, this middle-aged wizard did not care about the wooden box in his hand and probably did not know what was in the box.

"What was snatched from the secret meeting was a sealed tombstone."

Thinking of this, Deya felt relieved.

While His Majesty the King was waiting for Deya to present the gift, he announced Deya’s engagement to his daughter in front of everyone.

Deya suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have a request."

"Ok?"

The king frowned, but still smiled and said, "What do you want, our future Earl?"

Deya said loudly, word by word, in a voice that everyone could hear: "Your Majesty, I want to cancel my engagement with Princess Teresa!"

In an instant, everything was quiet.

The nobles who had been clapping loudly and talking in low voices just now now fell silent, thinking that they were just hallucinating.

Only the band's performance was still going on, like background music.

"What is the Cavendish son talking about? Breaking off the engagement?"

"His engagement was made by the Earl of Cavendish and the King. Isn't he slapping His Majesty in the face by doing this?"

"Today is the King's birthday party. This Deya Cavendish is really brave. This is really interesting."

"Be quiet and just watch the show."

Some nobles viewed the scene in amusement, some made fun of it, and some frowned.

His Majesty's face froze.

However, as a shrewd king, he did not get angry, but said calmly: "Deya Cavendish, do you know what you are saying?

This is the marriage contract your father made with the royal family when you were young. If you don't have sufficient reasons, you are defying the royal authority!"

At the end of his speech, his expression was stern, and the aura of a king was intimidating without even being angry, like a ferocious beast.

Princess Teresa's expression was even more twisted and angry.

The engagement was broken off? My engagement was broken off?

That is not only an insult to the royal family, but also the ultimate insult to her!

Even an ordinary civilian family would be embarrassed if encountering such a thing, let alone she is a princess!
Deya didn't say anything. He just silently took out a small badge from his arms and pinned it on his chest.

The emblem is in the shape of eight rings surrounding a ring, and in the center of the ring, there is a simple tall tower.

When the nobles saw the badge, they immediately became agitated.

Someone who knew the person whispered, "That badge... is the Nine Ring Tower!"

"Goddess, that really is the symbol of the Nine-Ring Tower!"

"The second son of the Cavendish family is actually a wizard? And he has become a member of the Nine Rings Tower?!"

"Is this true or false?"

The Nine Rings Tower is the oldest and most mysterious wizard organization.

Legend has it that any master of the tower has the power to destroy a country.

If the eight tower masters unite for a common goal, they will be like gods walking on the earth!
