Sting returned the gift, and the coat of arms quickly attracted attention.

After a while, the discerning person has already recognized it, which is clearly ...

Princely coat of arms!

In the kingdom of Dogurand, the title of prince is not the same as that of governor, consul, or administrator, and it is not a specific position, but an honorary title.

This kind of honorary title will only be conferred by the king on the royal blood relative, such as the king who succeeds to the throne, and at the same time has a good relationship with his brothers and sisters, and there is no struggle with each other for power, then the king may confer them as princes, which is both a consolation and an honor.

Or, if a minister of the royal family has made some outstanding deed, and has been recognized by the king in some field, he may also be awarded this princely coat of arms and be ranked among the princes.

Whatever the reason for the title of prince, over the years, including Pertheus's generation, the prince has given only the surname "Doguland" – that is, a member of the royal family.

But today, Lona, who has just turned 16 years old, has received the princely coat of arms conferred by Percius! became the first "prince with a different surname" in this kingdom throughout the ages!

This is really beyond everyone's expectations!

Although a title is a title, and authority is authority, a prince can be an empty shelf, and a prince can also be in power.

The title of prince does not mean "weight", but it must mean "high position", which is not a title on the street.

Today, Perseus has canonized a total of 8 princes of the royal family, who are not only blood relatives of His Majesty the King, but also powerful ministers.

The "Imperial Council", the supreme symbol of power in the Kingdom of Doguland, is composed of Perseus, the "Twenty-fourth Emperor of Doguland", and these 8 ministers who are ranked as "princes", which shows the gold content of the title of prince.

Luo Na was exceptionally awarded the title of prince with a different surname, although she did not have a posthumous position and no power in her hands, but in terms of status, she was already on the top of the throne, and she was on an equal footing with the eight princes of the Imperial Council.

It's no wonder that Sting wants to return the gift.

First of all, there is no merit in success, Lorna has no outstanding achievements in her life, but she suddenly got the title of prince, which is unreasonable, and some people will inevitably gossip at that time.

Secondly, over the years, the title of prince has only been awarded to members of the royal family, and there has never been a prince with a different surname, so Sting can't smell what political signal this represents.

Although Sting is a brother who has played with Perseus since he was a child, but Perseus has more brothers, and Sting can become the king's left hand, not by the relationship between brothers, but by his hard power as the 6th Sequence of Natural Disasters, as well as mature military talents and political means.

Sting knew very well what could and could not be touched in politics, and knew even more that Lorna did not deserve this glory that did not match her merits.

If she receives this princely coat of arms, is Lorna a member of the royal family or a member of Regnome? Where do we go from here? How to develop? In which direction? What should I do if I am killed... It's like wading through muddy waters, and you can't see anything clearly if you wade in.

Facing Sting, who was kneeling on one knee, and the prince's coat of arms handed back to him, Percius did not take it back, nor did he ignore Sting, but looked straight at Lorna, smiled and asked: "Lorna, today is your coming-of-age ceremony, and everything is up to you." This princely coat of arms, can you take it? ”

Lorna has a straightforward temperament, is not politically savvy, and does not understand the complex intrigues, but she is not a fool who does not understand anything, at least she knows that the prince is a very loud title, and now there are only eight in the whole kingdom, and all of them are royal blood relatives.

She's a Regnome and she's become a prince in a daze, which is also quite confusing.

"Uh... I... Pick up? Still is... Not... Don't answer? Lorna had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, and for a while she was hesitant to answer, and finally subconsciously looked at Sting.

There is a saying that blood is thicker than water.

No matter how much conflict there is between father and daughter, there is still a very tacit understanding between each other, and when Lorna peeked at Sting, Sting was also secretly peeking at her.

I saw Sting's brows furrowed, and he shook his head in a small way, signaling Lorna not to answer.

Just as Lorna hesitated, Perseus suddenly spoke: "Lorna, you are 16 years old, you can decide whether you want something or not. Of course, if you're going to obey your father, I won't say anything more. ”

I have to say that Lorna's temperament was really understood by Percius, and she was a little stunned, and wanted to follow Sting's wishes, so she simply didn't take it.

This is a good thing, especially the phrase "obey your father", which makes Lorna look like a child who has no opinions and is being targeted to death by her father.

Can this be endured?!

Lorna ran forward, snatched the prince's coat of arms from Sting's hand and stuffed it into her pocket, and snorted: "Your Majesty is right, this is for me, not for you, why do you go back for me?" I love this gift, thank you Your Majesty~"

Sting was speechless, and kept sighing and shaking his head.

"Hahaha, good! It's a bit of an adult. Perseus took Lorna's shoulder, looked around, and said with a smile, "I know, some of you will surely guess what I mean by conferring the title of Lorna as a prince with a different surname. ”

"Can I tell you right now, does it mean anything? Yes, but it's not as complicated as you think. ”

"Lorna, you should also know that the title of Prince of Doguland is only granted to royal blood relatives. I am giving you this princely coat of arms to tell you that I have long regarded you as my own. ”

"Your father and I have been good brothers since childhood, and we are like brothers. When Sula gave birth to you in the delivery room, I knelt with Sting in front of the statue outside the door and prayed to the gods for the safety of your mother and daughter. ”

"After you were born safely, it is no exaggeration to say that your father is happy, and I am happier than him! The two of us hugged each other like children and jumped up, crying with joy. ”

"So, what blood, what surname, laurel and dragon are indistinguishable from each other. The people of Dogurlands can be princes, but not the people of Regnome? If it didn't work before, it can start with my generation! There's nothing to shy away from! You are my own family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I treat you as my own daughter. ”

"Of course, don't shout the word father, otherwise this guy will be jealous~"

The banquet hall burst into laughter, and Sting laughed twice, and finally everyone applauded Pertheus.

Chino applauded as he looked sideways at Lorna, the first prince with a different surname in history.

Are Perseus's words genuine? Maybe.

But it's not completely consistent, the strategy of controlling people and the emperor's mental tricks are only known to the king himself.

Chino secretly looked around the venue, and there were many people who were smiling and clapping vigorously, but their eyes were flickering, and they all looked at Lorna sideways.

It seems that there is more than one person who is trying to figure out Perseus...
