Enlightenment ceremony
The right hand wrapped in lace white gloves gently held the pen. Charles gently scratched a pen on the calendar and saw a scarlet circle around today's date.
"Last day....."
Dressed as usual every day, Charles tried to control his excitement.
He has been waiting for this day for too long. Since he came to this world, every time he saw those extraordinary people who had frighten heaven and move the earth, he was looking forward to having strong power like them.
His grandfather once carved a sentence on his tombstone.
"When all the tricks couldn't stop the tragedy, I raised my fist, and then the tragedy succumbed."
No matter how Xia Er calculated, no matter how low-key, with his identity as the son of the Duke, there will never be fewer people who want him to die.
So....
Charles clenched his fist. As long as his fist was hard enough, he couldn't die!
Carefully put the dagger into his pocket, Charles took a deep breath, looked at the waiter who slowly opened his door, then walked out firmly.
There were people outside his door, but they all let out the red carpet in the middle. Charles wanted to walk along the red carpet to the altar outside the castle.
Along the way, he saw many familiar faces, such as his complicated mother, Jenny's sister sticking out her tongue at him, and livir looking down at him.
Charles was walking on the red carpet, and his eyes were fixed on the front. The audience with different expressions around seemed to be an eyesore of dust, which could not affect him. Unlike the slightly dark corridor of the castle, the end of the red carpet was dazzling light.
He wants to catch this light, right now!
"This is master Charles!"
"Yes, it's my first time to see..."
"You said he could..."
"About thirty percent..."
The noisy discussion like a tide surrounded Charles' thin body, and the low pressure made him a little breathless.
So he straightened up, his sapphire eyes like pearls in the dark.
It was almost the exit, and Charles stopped. On his far left, standing at the end of the red carpet, was his father, Hugh West!
Their eyes met, and the Duke nodded softly.
"Shire, get ready to meet your world!"
Big hands pressed on Charles' head, and Charles didn't resist. To be honest, he didn't expect the Duke to have such a fatherly side, which made him a little flattered.
But he still stepped out, and the leather boots made of leather stepped on the grass outside the castle, making a clicking sound.
The next moment, the light filled Charles' eyes. He had walked out of the castle and came to a huge altar.
Around the altar are all kinds of people, young masters and young ladies of other noble families, servants at the bottom, soldiers in the army....
This altar has been standing here since Charles was born. There are many small altars around him, but they are for non direct line of descent children. Only the Duke's children can stand on the largest altar and enjoy endless honor.
The priest was already standing on the altar, holding a silver dagger in his hand. He presented a gift and held the dagger high.
With a deep breath, Charles walked to the altar little by little under the endless gaze.
He first took out the holy spars in his pocket one by one, placed them around the altar, and then knelt down in the center of the altar.
The holy spar can increase the rate of awakening. The Duke will prepare 30 holy spars for each child. Generally, each Duke's heirs will get about 50 more from the forces behind them.
But in addition to his father's gift, Charles has only twenty, twenty from the unlucky Huli!
The priest's expression didn't change. His eyes were fixed on the boy's white cheeks, and he said softly:
"Are you ready, Charles?"
Charles's eyes were clear and firm. He gently picked up the silver dagger in the priest's hand and calmly replied:
"Let's start!"
What the priest didn't know was that the other dagger in Charles' pocket was also shining.
The enlightenment ceremony officially begins!
