Chapter 76 Commendation
“Wuwu… Elus, that’s too much…”
Because she was really played with too much, when Lonis walked out of the room the next morning, she still felt sore afterwards, and even her gait became unsteady.
“Hmph, so slow. Hurry up, breakfast is ready.”
Elus let out a cold snort and sat in the breakfast room, making sarcastic remarks… However, considering how beautiful her wife was today, Lonis didn’t retort.
This was because Elus was actually wearing an heroic uniform today.
It was probably like the kind of outfit a beautiful girl in an anime would wear, right? The suit jacket, while formal, also gave Elus a cool and cute temperament.
The short skirt probably reached the middle of her thighs, and the black stockings were of a very high denier, making them look opaque.
Simply put, Elus looked like a young goddess of war, cute and extremely handsome!
…
“Elus, about breakfast… it’s not made from the fruits of the Tree of Origin Collapse, is it?”
“Hmph, of course not. Princess Cécile has something to discuss with you later.”
“Oh…”
Hearing Elus say that, Lonis breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t realize that her relieved expression looked like a pet in Elus’s eyes, making her look extremely cute.
So…
Elus grinned slyly and rubbed Lonis’s silver hair.
“Lonis, the war has come to an end, so you know what we need to do next, right?”
“Yes… it’s about the Mingjin Temple, right?”
“Of course, we need to do that, but before that…”
“Eh? Master, Master, what are you going to do?”
“Little fox ears and tail are definitely essential, hehe~~~”
And so, Lonis could only put on the fox ears and tail again and go to meet Princess Cécile with Elus.
However, Lonis never expected that the place where Cécile would meet her and Elus would not be the usual private side hall.
But the most grand and formal hall!
The high dome was dozens of meters high, and the spacious venue could accommodate thousands of people.
Normally, this was where King Ruo Hui Gong held national ceremonies, but at this moment, Princess Cécile was sitting on the throne.
(Th-this is…)
Cécile’s attire was incredibly formal and grand, like a great elf from a fairyland. The pure white long skirt cascaded freely down to her ankles, accentuating her extraordinary and magnificent figure.
And on both sides of the hall, both political and military representatives stood solemnly.
Having served as acting princess, Lonis knew their identities were not low; almost all the important figures of the Kingdom Ming had gathered here.
But besides them, there were also some civilian representatives, soldier representatives, and even many cute girls… Many of them were also sword and shield guards who had shed their battle armor and were dressed in full attire for this banquet.
…
(Cécile, what is this all about?)
Lonis was a bit bewildered by the sudden events, but Elus simply stepped forward and said, “Princess Cécile, Lonis and I have arrived.”
“Yes, Elus, I am very grateful for your and Lonis the Warrior’s efforts. Today, I will formally grant Miss Lonis the title of Warrior and Elus the title of Warrior’s Partner on behalf of the royal family of the Kingdom Ming.”
“Wh-what?!”
…
Lonis was stunned and finally understood why this scene felt familiar!
Because this was clearly the last scene she experienced in the Land of Eternity?! Back then, it was also such a scene…
A magnificent hall, warm sunlight faintly streamed through the intricately carved glass.
The hazy and abundant light illuminated the velvet red carpet, and people watched with joyful and respectful gazes as she went to receive the supreme commendation.
And now,
Has it all become a reality?
…
(Wuw?)
As she realized this, Lonis’s cheeks turned completely red.
This was not only because she felt somewhat undeserving… After all, most of the plans were made by Elus, and calling herself a warrior was too much praise. Elus should have received the main commendation!
More importantly, Lonis was now a girl with fox ears and a fox tail.
With every step she took, her big tail would sway.
Her backside ached faintly, and under the gaze of so many people, Lonis instinctively felt very guilty.
Because Elus hadn’t told her, Lonis hadn’t prepared at all… Her expression must have been particularly silly just now, not like a hero at all!
…
However, Cécile simply smiled slightly.
She didn’t care if Lonis’s behavior was impolite.
The princess slowly descended from the throne and presented a beautifully crafted ceremonial sword to Lonis.
…
“Lonis, thank you for your contributions to this country. Because if you hadn’t taken over the princess’s duties during this time, the order of the Kingdom Ming would not be as it is now.”
“Ah?!”
“What?!”
This time, it wasn’t just Lonis who was surprised.
Even the people standing on both sides showed surprised expressions… It seemed that at this moment, people realized how similar the appearances of Lonis and Princess Cécile were.
…
“Princess Cécile…”
“No wonder, I always felt that Princess Cécile’s temperament had changed a bit, could it be…”
People suddenly looked at Lonis with sudden realization, and Lonis became even more helpless under their surprised gazes.
…
Princess Cécile simply bowed and, with the highest ceremony symbolizing the Kingdom Ming, presented the ceremonial sword to Lonis:
“Yes, that’s right! Everyone, for this period of time, it has been the Warrior Lonis who has performed the princess’s duties on my behalf while I was injured… Therefore, today, I will not only grant Lonis the title of Warrior, but I will also grant Lonis the title of Acting Princess of the Kingdom Ming.”
“!”
“From now on, Warrior Lonis is the honorary princess of our Kingdom Ming. I will erect a sculpture of Warrior Lonis to commemorate her achievements forever.”
“Warrior Lonis…”
“Let us all remember the contributions of Princess Warrior Lonis together.”
“Remember the contributions of Princess Warrior Lonis!”
The sword and shield guards chanted in unison, and the clear blessings resounded through the sky.
…
(Wait, wait a minute! It doesn’t have to be this grand!!!!)
Seeing such a grand setup, Lonis wanted to run away with her tail between her legs… Originally, it was already embarrassing enough for her, a dignified man, to disguise herself as a princess.
Now, a sculpture was to be erected to permanently preserve her image as a princess.
Where would her face go then!
In her panic, Lonis cast a pleading glance at Elus beside her… but all she received was a mischievous smirk.
“Your Highness Warrior Lonis, isn’t this quite good?”
“Eh?”
“After all, this is the commendation you should have received long ago.”
Elus said with a light smile, as if she had expected it all along.
