Chapter 811: The Transition to Ordinariness
The day of the Queen's coronation ceremony is coming soon. In order to appease the people in the country who have gone through a divisive war, to boost people's confidence and to convey to them the message that the Aundair royal family has the ability to protect the people, this ceremony is necessary and essential.
Even the surrounding countries were invited to watch the ceremony.
This ceremony, which sounded very troublesome, was directly linked to the school leader's "A few simple words" in Mo Cheng's mind. To be honest, if possible, he really didn't want to participate in this ceremony.
Mo Cheng just thought so, but in fact he couldn't really refuse Misha's request and not attend the event. Otherwise, it would give the outside world the wrong message that "the Dragon Count and Queen Aundair are at odds", which would add more twists and turns to the Aundair royal regime, which had not yet stabilized.
For Mo Cheng, this means that there are a few more troublesome requirements for completing consecutive tasks, but the rewards have not increased.
This was not something he could bear.
So no matter how little Mo Cheng cared about the so-called ceremony, out of respect for his friend and as a reward for the mission, he had to take some time out to watch the ceremony.
On the day of the ceremony, before the sun came out, Mo Cheng was still in a deep sleep.
When there is nothing important to do, even if Mo Cheng's strength is enough to ignore normal physiological needs, he will still do the right thing at the right time.
For example, he would eat three meals a day, go to bed on time, and even take a short nap when there was really nothing to do.
"bump!"
A huge force kicked the door open, disturbing Mo Cheng's sleep. If any stranger dared to do this, he would be completely destroyed by the million-degree dragon breath the moment he kicked the door open, leaving no ashes.
I don’t know if it’s because of his [dragon bloodline], but Mo Cheng would be a little .
But it was obvious that the guy who kicked open his door was not a stranger, and he could not deal with it with a million-degree dragon breath.
"Get up, get up!" As soon as she entered the room, Lilia knocked on the iron basin in her hand. This thing was the tool that Mo Cheng used to wake up the children of Albert House.
The noise Lilia made was like an alarm clock that constantly stimulated Mo Cheng's brain, preventing him from falling into that sweet dream again. "Lilia, stop making noise. Let me sleep for another half an hour."
Obviously, such words are totally useless to Lilia.
Just like when Mo Cheng called the children to wake up early in the morning without any mercy, Lilia also did not consider Mo Cheng's thoughts and directly threw a fireball at Mo Cheng.
A mere fireball certainly couldn't hurt Mo Cheng, and it couldn't even burn his bedding. It kept shrinking the moment it left his hand, and within a few seconds it was reduced to the most basic fire element.
But such a fireball also made Mo Cheng's body spontaneously enter a state, making Mo Cheng instantly sober and alert.
There is absolutely no way I can get a nap now.
Mo Cheng pointed to the still pitch-black sky outside the window and said, "If I remember correctly, the ceremony was held around noon, right? Lilia, can you tell me what time it is now?"
"It's half past two in the morning, almost three."
Very good, it seems that this is not just about to dawn, but it’s completely dark before they come to wake him up.
Mo Cheng stopped talking and looked at Lilia quietly. If she didn't give an explanation that Mo Cheng felt was reasonable, then Mo Cheng could guarantee that in a month Lilia would have to run to a bloody battlefield and face the beating of demons and devils.
"Before the ceremony starts, I need to put on makeup, change clothes, and do other miscellaneous things. If I get up now to prepare, it will almost start when I'm done, and time is even a little tight."
Lilia waved to the door and said, "Come in. I'll leave the rest to you."
The person who came in was Misha's head maid, Befa, who was holding a suitcase that looked heavy.
As soon as Maid Befa entered the room, she bowed to Mo Cheng and Lilia, "Your Excellency the Earl, Your Excellency the Viscount, I will be in charge of your grooming next."
As the queen's head maid, Befa did not need to be so polite to others. To be frank, even some marquis would be considered polite if she just nodded in front of her.
After today, almost all the internal affairs of the imperial palace can be considered as her job scope. In a sense, her power is astonishingly great.
But Mo Cheng is different from Lilia. The former can be said to be a hero who turned the tide in Aundair's crisis, and everyone also knows that he is the future prince.
As for Mo Cheng, Befa directly put him on the same level as Mishas and treated him.
As for Lilia...she is the future sister-in-law of Her Majesty the Queen.
Moreover, Lilia herself also holds a status and power that cannot be ignored. Even Befa has heard about the establishment and growth of the [platform].
"Um, makeup..." Mo Cheng didn't really like putting anything on his face. After an experience he had once, even when he went to the comic convention to COS on the eve of the time travel, he only worked on the costumes and props, and his makeup was just plain.
But after thinking about it, Mo Cheng decided not to refuse. Since he had already agreed to participate in the ceremony, he might as well do it in full.
So Mo Cheng simply relaxed his body and let Beifa do what she wanted. He didn't know what she had put on her palms, but it was cool and refreshing, and the caress of her soft and smooth palms actually made Mo Cheng feel very comfortable.
After applying the makeup, the next step is eyebrow trimming. The eyebrow trimmer is gently waved between the eyebrows and eyes. Occasionally, you can even feel which eyebrow has fallen on your face.
The next step was to trim the nails. Befa seemed to have made sufficient preparations. The tools he brought were all enchanted with the special effects of [Sharp] and [Armor-Breaking], as if they were specially for Mo Cheng to use.
After all, people treat him as a dragon, and if they want to trim his eyebrows and nails, ordinary things cannot be used to do it.
Sitting there without moving seemed boring, so Mo Cheng asked, "So what are you doing here?"
"Just like you, I will groom myself, change my clothes, and then attend the investiture ceremony after the coronation ceremony."
Lilia's answer undoubtedly puzzled Mo Cheng, "Awarded a title? You? What did you do?"
According to Mo Cheng's memory, although Lilia had followed him on several expeditions and completed some tasks, she did not seem to be qualified to be granted a title.
After all, Lilia herself inherited the title of Viscount of the Joestar family. If she were to be promoted, she would at least be an Earl.
"In the city in the desert, the new palace, city defenses, and various other projects require magicians as labor. Thirty percent of those mages who contributed work are working under me."
After hearing this, Mo Cheng immediately understood that Lilia's [Platform] also contracted part of the logistics and infrastructure work.
"When did your [platform] get involved in infrastructure?"
"Always. The construction blueprints of your palace were designed by me."
