336: Chapter 336 The Harvest Festival Begins 336: Chapter 336 The Harvest Festival Begins “Second Princess?

Where is she, where is she?” Zhao Guang looked in that direction but could not see anyone.

“Is that not her there?

Look down, look down,” Ocoro corrected Zhao Guang’s line of sight.

Finally, Zhao Guang saw a sphere.

Yes, a sphere, probably only about 1.3 meters tall.

Such a stature, even in the Otherworld, was exceedingly rare.

Bizarrely, this 1.3-meter tall humanoid creature was probably wider than it was tall.

Rather than a sphere, it was more accurate to call it an ellipsoid, with a tendency to develop in the direction of a flying saucer.

“This one, not an adult yet?” Zhao Guang glanced at the Princess standing before him.

That Princess, after all, was already over two meters tall.

Even if there was a genetic disparity, it couldn’t possibly be this vast.

Thus, the only possibility was that this one had not yet matured into adulthood.

“How could she not be an adult?

The Second Princess is already twenty-one years old.”

It seemed she hadn’t grown anymore, Zhao Guang looked at the sphere with a pitiful expression in his eyes.

Finally, the sphere hopped and skipped up to the platform, addressing the King with a bow.

“Father, these steps are way too high, who designed them like this?

They really ought to be dragged out and beheaded.”

“Do not speak nonsense, it’s obviously your own issue, I have told you to exercise properly.”

Seeing the Second Princess sweating profusely, the King felt somewhat helpless.

Although the Princess had indeed grown very exaggeratedly, surely she was still better than this second one.

“This one’s abilities must not be so great,” Zhao Guang said somewhat speechlessly upon hearing the Second Princess’s statement.

With such a personality, to still be alive until now, it really is thanks to the safety of the Imperial City.

“No, the Second Princess’s abilities are actually not bad, especially in business.

It’s just her personality that makes it hard to win the affection of the common people.”

“Business abilities, huh?

That must be impressive then.”

“Indeed, very impressive.

In fact, one could even say the Second Princess is more suitable to inherit the kingdom than either prince.”

Is that so?

Considering that, the two princes must be utterly useless.

Surely not, given they were born into the Royal Family and educated from a young age they couldn’t lack insight; could it really be there’s nothing redeemable about them?

If that’s really the case, then Zhao Guang was truly worried, worried about the future of the country.

Just then, another short figure approached.

“Look, Princess Caris has also arrived,” Ocoro pointed out the figure behind.

“Around here, she’s not also a dwarf, is she?” Far away from the crowd, this figure appeared even shorter than the Second Princess Xilili—what sort of mishmash was this Royal Family?

“How could that be?

Princess Caris is only six years old.”

Finally, Zhao Guang got a clear look at Princess Caris.

Although she was only six, her height was not considered short among children her age.

Furthermore, her delicate features were as if sculpted like a doll, contrasting starkly with the previous two princesses.

Wow, a real beauty in the making here.

Your Majesty, wouldn’t your crown be turning green?

Zhao Guang maliciously speculated here, while Ocoro beside him seemed oblivious.

Upon reaching the stage, she appeared somewhat shy, giving a slight bow and taking her seat.

She must have spoken, but her voice was too soft; even with the Magic Array amplifying sound, Zhao Guang couldn’t hear her clearly.

With all the Royal Family members present, the Harvest Festival finally began.

“In this festive season of harvest, let us raise our glasses together to welcome our bounteous yield.

Before that, those who have made significant contributions in various fields this year shall receive this year’s honors.”

As the King spoke, Zhao Guang knew the ceremony of conferment was beginning.

Indeed, the harvest wasn’t just about crops, but also a harvest for these new nobles.

However, the ones who first ascended the platform were not these newcomers, but some of the Old Nobles.

Their contributions too needed to be recognized by the King.

Although, most of them didn’t receive a direct rise in their titles.

But they received some medals representing honor, though these honors seemed rather peculiar.

Is this queueing up for rewards?

Zhao Guang expressed a strange look.

Maintaining control in their domain without any unrest counts as a merit, so does restoring peace after upheaval also counts as merit?

So, no matter what happens, it all ends up being meritorious.

Gradually, Zhao Guang mostly understood, the nobles who came here mostly received medals of merit.

No wonder those nobles each wore so many medals, they could be used as wind chimes; so that’s how these medals came to be.

In Zhao Guang’s eyes, the value of these medals dropped to the lowest.

“Please Lord Ocoro step forward.” Finally, it was Ocoro’s turn.

This time, the rewards were also based on their title ranks, the later ones called were of lower ranks.

But the highest was to confer a Viscount, not a Knight, as Knights aren’t included in these rankings.

After the King said a lot of diplomatic pleasantries, he performed a flourish with his sword.

Each person went through this routine, and the King was nothing if not practiced.

Finally, he placed the sword on Ocoro’s shoulder as Ocoro knelt on one knee, recited the words he had been taught, expressing his loyalty, and the King nodded and granted the title.

“Huh, he actually became a Viscount?

That’s a promotion of two full ranks in one go.”

It was unexpected that Ocoro could be promoted by two ranks at once, which was extremely rare.

This also showed that Ocoro indeed earned a great deal of military glory, his splendid team had accomplished great deeds.

After stepping down, others looked at Ocoro differently.

After all, a conferment skipping two ranks was incredibly rare, and such a person would be noted by the King.

Further promotions for him were undoubtedly not going to be difficult.

In the King’s heart, Ocoro was no longer on the same level as these people.

“Please Knight Zhao Guang step forward.” Finally, it was Zhao Guang’s turn.

“Don’t be nervous, just follow what you’ve been taught.”

Hearing Ocoro’s words, Zhao Guang nodded his head, Nervous?

What’s that?

It’s just a feudal king, after all, nothing to be nervous about.

Zhao Guang now valued strength more; although the King was not just an ordinary person, he was still only a novice, no match for himself.

Standing this close, if anyone should be nervous, it should be the King.

Stepping forward, Zhao Guang calmly recited the pre-taught rhetoric without any mistakes.
