Almighty Father System-Chapter 412: None Are Normal.
The people clapped and congratulated Leo and the Cardinal Family. The heads of the Sigil Families took the lead in this as they knew that even though the Sigil System was old, they also had the chance to climb up the ranks if they managed to hug the coat tails.
Lily smirked at these people only to be given a stern glare down by her mother. Snow bowed towards the Throne, after she saw Leo backing off. One must not show their backs to the king. This was the proper etiquette that Leo and Snow had been instructed to follow during the formal ceremony description by the steward who led them over.
{What? You expect me to write all these irrelevant things down? Just focus on the big things for now. This is about to get good.}
The King then looked at the attendant beside him again, and the person bowed as he said, "Madam Snow Cardinal, the lady of the Cardinal House, even though your roots lie in the Country of Stag, you have embraced our culture and traditions over the years. On the events of charity the compassion that you have extended towards the children of the Clover Nation have won hearts of many and so, taking the fortunate time of today, His Majesty has decided to bestow upon you the title of a Maiden.
Let it be know, that from today onwards, Madam Cardinal is to be addressed as Maiden Yue in her official affairs. May her compassion reflects on the needy and the worthy till the time eternal."
This was not a simple ennoblement, but one that came with a complete set of titles. Lily was clapping the hardest, and just then the attendant spoke once again, "Master Cardinal has also been bestowed with the Title of the Knight, from today onwards, he is to be addressed as Sir Leo Cardinal, the Righteous."
Someone in the crowd whispered, "What do these two titles mean? Why are you all so shocked, aren't these just figuratives?"
The person next to him was the defence minister of the country, the man behind all the things that were going on in the political corridor were because of him, and he clenched his fists as he spoke with a calm face, "Madam Yue, the title has always been reserved for the women who have compassionately dedicated themselves for the betterment of the weak and needy in the society. She is the successor of that Priestess Daya from the Temple Of Mercy, and Leo Cardinal being granted the title of the knight means, he can officially step in the parliament, and with the name Righteous, do you understand how deep his influence on the masses outside the parliament would become? This whole thing was a ploy set up by that undying King. We need to come up with something."
They were all really anxious because of this sudden development. The ceremony completed after a few certificates and broaches' were issued for the couple. Just then, the steward attending to them said, "Lord Cardinal, Maiden Yue, His Majesty has called you both and Young Miss Cardinal to partake the breakfast."
The minister wanted to get in the dining hall to find out what the King would talk about, but they had no power to enter as they were not invited. Leo and Snow led the children to the dining hall, and surprisingly on the way they met with the middle-aged Duke and Duchess, who were accompanied by their youngest daughter as well.
The couple bowed to them, and greeted, "Greetings, Your Highnesses."
Lily followed the courtesy, and the Duchess smiled as she said, "Have you been well, Lord Cardinal."
Leo replied with a faint smile and a nod, and then the two couples began to walk side by side. The women broke the ice with talking about children, while The Duke said, "Would you be moving to the capital now?"
Leo shook his head and replied, "No such plans for me, Your Highness. My daughter still has friends in Angkor, and I have spent almost all the savings on the business park."
Lily turned to look back at him as Leo coughed and said, "We are not broke, my little ancestor, please."
Lily nodded and turned to look at the corridors, as the Duke looked at him in askance. The young man replied, "Pardon me, Your Highness, my daughter, as much as she loves me, she likes to make fun of me too. Ever since I have stayed back at home to look after the twins, she has called me Jobless in front of her friends."
Lily giggled mischievously, and the people joined in. With that they all entered the grand dining room, before they sat down on the chairs, and the dishes were served. The King, Augustus Aura was also sitting at the chair of the head, when the little Princess whispered in the ears of her father, The Duke asked, "Father, can Amare eat with you?"
The old man nodded with a smile as he beckoned the little princess over to his side and made her sit in his lap as he carefully fed her. Lily didn't even look at them, well, this might be a rare situation for the Princess, but she knew that her Baba's lap was her throne to take whenever she wanted, it was just that she was outside today so she was being the bigger person.
The meal was quite tasty, but the duchess noticed something and asked, "Young Miss Lily, is something about the meal not to your liking?"
Lily raised her head and looked at Duchess before she smiled and said softly, "I am used to eating what Baba cooks for me, so the taste of the fondant was new, nothing to my disliking just new."
The elders were surprised, they had thought that only Leo and Snow were smarter, but their daughter spoke with such tact that it caused the three royal adults to look at each other before they took a deep breath and Lily finished eating her dessert.
