"Hehehe…"
Lelouch's laughter woke the three of them from their thoughts. He didn't care what the three women were thinking. The effect of releasing the aura of a king far exceeded his expectations. Other than his body being weak, he could already use his mental power to forcefully interfere with people with weak wills. If the faith of a few hundred people could achieve such an effect, what if it was thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands?
Wouldn't it be able to interfere with reality?
Although Lelouch did not have any memories of the future, he knew that as he grew up, the consciousness and power of faith of all the dead would automatically gather on him. Ever since he had officially announced the birth of the Human King to the world, the consciousness and souls of the dead humans were no longer flowing towards Aliya, who had no consciousness of his own. Instead, they were absorbed by his King's Brand.
As the King of Humans, Lelouch was Aliya's agent in the real world. Through the King's Brand, Lelouch's consciousness could directly sense Aliya's existence. It was like a radio. Although they were separated by two worlds, they could feel each other's existence and communicate.
Separated by a world, Lelouch, who could not absorb the power of Aliya, could only absorb the faith and will of the dead humans through the King's Brand. However, these beliefs that did not return to Aliya were mixed with a large amount of negative consciousness. It was the original sin released from the soul after the death of the human body.
Humans were born with the eight cardinal sins. As long as they didn't die, this sin would always be in the depths of their souls, and their souls would reside in their bodies. Unless the body died, the mark of the original sin would never be released.
As for Lelouch, the king of all humans, the sins he had to bear with the King's Seal were unimaginable. Moreover, there would be people who died at any time, mixed with a large amount of negative consciousness.
The more power he obtained, the stronger the curse he would have to endure. Lelouch needed the faith of the elites of society who were full of vitality and hope.
Because they were still alive, they could bear most of the curse.
Knowing how to quickly increase his strength and reduce the curse, Lelouch was naturally happy.
(Now, Archduke Ashford, become the first slave under the king. This is the king's gift to you!）
Lelouch, who noticed that everyone's attention had been attracted by his laughter, opened his fair and tender hands toward Archduke Ashford.
Could this be…
Archduke Ashford, who had been watching Lelouch, saw the young prince open his hands to him. His expression changed from shock to surprise. With his granddaughter Miley, he knew what this action meant. The prince wanted him to hug him.
After quickly sizing up his clothes, Archduke Ashford carefully tidied his clothes and asked in a trembling voice,"
"Can I? Princess Mariana!"
"Of course. Today is the little guy's banquet. He's the star of the banquet. As long as it's what he wants, we should do our best to satisfy him, right?”
As Princess Mariana spoke, she gently handed Lelouch to Archduke Ashford.
Archduke Ashford quickly handed the scepter to his son and carefully took over the little prince. The moment his hand touched Lelouch, time seemed to stop flowing. A huge stream of consciousness followed his hand to Lelouch's finger and exploded into every corner of his body and soul.
Lelouch's figure appeared in Archduke Ashford's mind. He was like a god, huge and majestic, standing tall in the world. His consciousness was an insignificant ant under this god-like giant.
King!
The mark of a human that was engraved in the depths of Archduke Ashford's soul instinctively called out the moment it touched the King's Mark.
Yes, this was the king, the king of all humans, the ruler of everything.
"As long as he exists, we humans will not perish, because all the sins we have committed will be borne by him. As long as he exists, we humans will never be lost, because we only need to follow behind him. As long as he is here, we will always be happy, because the king's happiness is our everything.
Satisfying the king's desires and pursuits is the only reason we exist.
As the first human to directly sense the King's Brand, Archduke Ashford's soul, while retaining his own consciousness, fused with the human consciousness integration in C World, which was Aliya.
In Aliya's huge body of thoughts, all the memories of the past humans from birth to development were deposited. Amongst them, including the Atlanteans, all the lives that had died, the unyielding will and faith that fought against Gaia, as well as their desire and expectations for the king, were all conveyed to the depths of Archduke Ashford's soul.
Tears flowed uncontrollably. In the sea of consciousness, Archduke Ashford knelt before the giant and prostrated himself on the ground. Tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.
For tens of thousands of years, the hope of all humans was finally realized today.
Our king has finally descended!
"My king!"
The actions of the Realm of Mind reflected reality. Archduke Ashford, who had been holding Lelouch in his arms since some time ago, called out while trembling. At the same time, two streams of tears flowed down the corners of his eyes and down his cheeks.
"My king!"
With Archduke Ashford as the center, the guests who were once enveloped by the aura of the King's Brand called out in their hearts.
"My king!"
Although it seemed like Duke Ashford had only taken Prince Lelouch over for a few seconds, the atmosphere of the banquet had completely changed. At this moment, even Cornelia and Millet could feel the unusual solemnity and solemnity of the banquet.
Mariana also narrowed her eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed from time to time. The strange things that happened at the banquet today finally caught her attention. It was not a good feeling to lose control of the situation.
What exactly happened?
Mariana's sharp eyes scanned the entire hall. At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the night of the Blood Emblem three years ago, when she killed the First Knight alone and killed countless rebels.
This…was the real Sixth Knight, the shining Mariana, the undefeated God of War on the battlefield.
When Mariana scanned the entire place and searched for the source of the abnormality, Lelouch also felt the terrifying aura from his mother. This kind of power that was cultivated in the real war was as dazzling as a lamp in the dark night at this banquet.
Even the knights in the uniforms of senior officers became harmless lambs under this momentum, waiting to be slaughtered.
In the image projected by Lelouch's spiritual standpoint, the light spot representing Mariana's existence expanded rapidly, suppressing everyone else's light spots into a corner.
To think that she could completely suppress the aura of hundreds of people by herself. It seemed that her mother was indeed not an ordinary person. In the memories of the King's Seal, only legendary heroes could possess such an imposing manner. From ancient times until now, they had accomplished all sorts of great feats and left their mark in history.
Lelouch instantly withdrew the spiritual aura emitted by the King's Brand. Today's harvest had far exceeded his expectations. He would wait for another opportunity in the future. Anyway, with his current age, there was still a long time!
After the aura caused by the King's Brand disappeared, the solemn feeling immediately disappeared.
After searching for a few more times, Mariana, who had found nothing, withdrew her aura. The others had yet to clearly feel the source of the pressure, but the few people standing beside Mariana clearly knew the source of the pressure that had shocked the entire banquet.
Apart from Cornelia, whose eyes were shining with adoration as she looked at Mariana, Archduke Ashford and his son and daughter-in-law, who were standing beside him, were all looking at Mariana with shock and fear. Their originally tall waists were slightly bent. One could imagine how strong the impact was on them.
This was the brilliant Mariana, the one who once stood at the peak of knights. No, she was still standing at the peak of knights.
The old Archduke Ashford was the first to wake up. He forcefully suppressed the joy and excitement of seeing the king in the depths of his heart. He lowered his head and respectfully handed the little prince back to Mariana. Then, he carefully wiped his tears and pleaded,
"I'm sorry, Princess Mariana. I lost my composure!”
"Grand Duke, you're being too serious!"
Mariana, who had returned to her role as the imperial concubine, smiled gently and shook her head, indicating that she didn't mind. However, the trace of doubt in the depths of her eyes did not disappear. From the corner of her eyes, she swept her gaze across every corner of the banquet from time to time.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the banquet hall had completely changed. It was as if the change just now had never happened. The nobles who were chatting from time to time would also look at the center of the banquet from time to time. Every time their eyes landed on Mariana and the little prince in her arms, the feelings contained in them were almost all respect and awe. When he passed by Ashford's family, especially Archduke Ashford, who had just carried the little prince, he immediately felt a piercing chill.
"What right does this old fellow have to touch the noble Prince Lelouch!”
"This is blasphemy!"
"Unforgivable! He actually used those hands to hug His Highness Lelouch!”
"Damn it, if I had the power of the Ashford Family, I would be able to touch His Highness Lelouch's body!”
"This is a supreme honor!"
All the noble officials and military representatives who were attending the little prince's one-month-old banquet looked at Duke Ashford with intense emotions in their eyes. They did not think that it was jealousy.
Mariana had misunderstood the jealousy of these people because the Ashford family had made a marriage agreement with the royal family. Although it was verbal, with Mariana and the Ashford family's status in the eyes of the emperor, the probability of it becoming a reality was very high.
However, what was that imposing feeling just now?
Was it an illusion?
Mariana shook her head and expelled the strange atmosphere that had just disappeared from her mind.
Perhaps it was because they were going to set off tomorrow, so she was a little oversensitive! After all, ever since she got pregnant with Lelouch, she had been thinking about how to adjust her body every day. She had never exercised much, let alone fight.
However, only the people involved knew the true origin of those jealous gazes. It wasn't because the Ashford family had a marriage agreement with Lelouch, but because Duke Ashford himself had directly touched their king.
In this strange atmosphere, the one-month-old banquet of the Eleventh Prince of the Empire, Little Prince Lelouch, finally ended. However, the influence of this banquet was far from gone. The baby Lelouch had planted a seed in the hearts of all the guests. When the seed matured, these former members of Mariana's forces would become his most loyal followers.
