Chapter 673 Award ceremony (3)
??When Ang came out, she looked at me with a smile and waved her hand at me.
There was a bitter smile that appeared on my face when I saw this, but I just waved back at her.
After all, I knew that she would be unhappy if I didn''t wave back at her.
The nobles around me all looked at me with a strange look after seeing me wave at Ang like this, but I ignored them all. There was nothing that I could say to them in the first ce that would allow them to understand the situation even if I wanted to.
Not to mention, I didn''t want to exin it to them in the first ce.
I was sure that they would find some way toin about this, so it was better to leave it all to the king.
The king didn''t say anything until Ang walked over to his side.
When she was beside him, he looked at her with a smile before turning to look at everyone.
In a serious voice, he said, "I''m sure that all of you have already heard that there was an engagement set for my daughter."
The nobles immediately knitted their brows when they heard this before looking back at me again.
All of them knew that I was the one that had been engaged to Ang previously, so they were naturally focusing on me once this topic was brought up.
The king just ignored all of this as he continued by saying, "I want to announce today that we will be holding my daughter''s wedding soon."
The expressions on the faces of the nobles all filled with shock when they heard this.
This was clearly thest thing that they had expected to hear from the king.
But it didn''t take long before other expressions appeared on the faces of the nobles.
It was clear that they didn''t approve of this since they didn''t think that they would benefit from it.
There were many nobles that had been targeting the princess since she had been single, but now that she was getting married…
They had thought that this engagement was nothing more than a sham to fool the other kingdoms. They had thought that once the war was over, the engagement would be broken and they would have their chance.
They never thought that the king would actually marry the daughter that he doted on to someone.
Even if it was someone like Count…No, it was Duke Zwein now, it shouldn''t have been like this.
The nobles weren''t able to react in time, but they quickly came back to their senses and looked like they wanted toin.
Before they could, the king suddenly said, "This is a matter that I''ve decided after asking for both the feelings of my daughter and Duke Zwein. I hope that all of you will respect this."
The nobles that had been about to speak just stood there with their mouths wide open as looks of disbelief appeared on their faces.
It didn''t take long for them to quickly turn to look at Ang, but she had looked away with a blush on her face.
It was real!
There really was something that had happened between the princess and Duke Zwein!
So it seemed that even if they wanted toin, it didn''t seem possible for them toin about this matter. After all, this was a matter that didn''t concern them at all, so they didn''t have a right toin.
They could try to put pressure on the king, but what could they really do other than dy the wedding?
So there was nothing that they could gain from speaking up now.
They had already set everything and were only telling them now…it was toote for them to do anything.
As the nobles could only feel bitter about this, but there were some that had other thoughts on their mind.
Even if the wedding was set, there were still other things that needed to be discussed.
They had wanted to wait until after this award ceremony to discuss this, but with this news, it seemed that they couldn''t wait. They had to do this while everyone was here, especially Duke Zwein since this was a matter that concerned him.
So one of the nobles suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your majesty, there is something that I want to ask!"
Everyone immediately turned to look at this noble with a confused look, as they were wondering what he was doing.
When I looked at him, I recognized him as one of the other dukes.
This was Duke Soutnd.
I only recognized him since he had been a part of the award ceremony.
Apparently, he was the general of the army that had been holding back the Darius Kingdom army the entire time.
Though he was a bit different from Duke Yuletide and General Gardner since he had actually been fighting the Darius Kingdom army. So my opinion of this noble wasn''t as bad as the other two.
That was until he suddenly spoke up at this moment.
The king narrowed his eyes to look at Duke Soutnd before slowly saying, "Do you really have to ask your question at this time? This is a time to celebrate my daughter''s wedding and you want to ask a question?"
Duke Soutnd lowered his head as he said, "Your majesty, I apologize for this, but this is a matter that I have to address. I had no choice but to speak up at this moment."
The king kept staring at Duke Soutnd for a bit before saying in a more gentle voice, "What do you have to ask?"
Duke Soutnd looked back up and turned to look at me to say, "It''s actually a question for Duke Zwein. May I ask you something?"
I was surprised to hear this, but I slowly gave a nod since I was curious what he wanted.
Duke Soutnd revealed a serious look as he said, "The wyverns, what are your ns for the wyverns?"
