Chapter 111: The Emperor's Speech
"My birthday can already be equated with the festival of the Empire, which is the greatest honor for me, an old fellow who has sat on the throne for more than half a century." Emperor Gaius sat on his throne in the center of the harvest hall, holding a crystal wine glass, and talked eloquently. Although he was eighty years old, his voice was still loud and majestic, and even the people in the entire harvest hall could hear his voice clearly.
"The greatest gain in my life is not to achieve great feats on the battlefield." The Emperor raised his glass and slowly raised his glass in the direction of the Virgin Mission, causing embarrassment on the faces of the other party. Artoria was even more angry, her face flushed, and only Olivier still raised her glass in return with a hippie smile.
"Of course, it's not that I have cut off the privileges of many princes and nobles. I know you all grit your teeth, but you all have made voluntary sacrifices for the sake of our empire, and I thank you on behalf of the 180 million people of the empire. The Emperor raised his glass to the other side of his side, where the heads of the Empire's gate lords and nobles gathered, and the Prime Minister headed by the Duke of Tyrion couldn't help but cry and laugh.
"The greatest gain in my life is that I am already in Heaven, and may her soul live forever in the bath of holy light." He said aloud, raising his glass and drinking it down.
"May His Majesty Estyr live forever in the Light." Naturally, everyone in the harvest hall could only raise a glass in response.
"In addition, I have known so many friends since I was a teenager, and your friendship is the most precious treasure and memory of my life." The Emperor looked into a corner of the crowd and smiled gently. There stood seven or eight gray-haired old men and old ladies, and Orucello was among them. Not all of these people are dignitaries, and some are even old and old, but they all have an identity, and Emperor Gaius is also a friend of life and death who met when he traveled incognito around the world during the crown prince's time.
"I also met everyone during my adventures, and I also met the love of my life, Estelle, and if it weren't for being the heir to the throne of Obsidian, maybe I would have become a ranger a long time ago, and there would have been many writers who would have recorded my adventures in a book. Youth, it's really like a shuttle of time......" A trace of remembrance flashed on the emperor's face, and his tone gradually had a trace of old fatigue, but he quickly adjusted his state again: "Okay, maybe everyone is tired of this old face that appears every year." But don't worry, I won't bother you for long. ”
"Your Majesty Xià ......" The diminutive Zai seemed to be about to admonish the emperor in his words, but was interrupted by the other party: "This is the law of nature, Tyrion, I am not an elven friend or a dwarven friend of the immortal race, and I am not ready to turn myself into a lich. Why should man be so secretive about the laws of nature? ”
"Alright, don't let our old fellows bother the young ones with their time." The Emperor stood up with the Scepter of the Son of Radiance, and said loudly, "I have three granddaughters, six grandsons (not counting the illegitimate grandsons left by the younger son), and many sons and grandchildren. Adulthood is only Karin and Tomman, and they have not yet found their true love. All interested young gentlemen and ladies, please take action! ”
"Finally, on this wonderful evening, I wish you all a great time. May the gods bless the health of old fellows like me, and the love of young people! ”
As an emperor's speech, in fact, this is not solemn, but it still caused everyone to smile again, and after warm applause, it ended in the chorus of "Long live the emperor". For a great ruler, any word he says, frivolity can be understood as humor, conservatism can be understood as calmness, and laughter and anger can also be understood as informality. In short, this world is so realistic. …,
