Chapitre 283: The Formal Bestowment of Nobility

The sun shone brightly over the capital city of Astellia, casting a golden glow over the bustling streets and majestic buildings. A great crowd had gathered in the main square, their eyes fixed on the grand balcony of the royal palace. The air was thick with anticipation, whispers of curiosity and excitement rippling through the masses. On the balcony, Crown Prince Erich stood tall and regal, his presence commanding the attention of all who looked upon him.

"My people of Astellia," Erich began, his voice strong and clear, resonating across the square. "Today marks a new chapter in our kingdom's history. I stand before you not only as your prince but as a servant of justice and progress."

The crowd erupted into cheers, their faith in the young prince palpable. Erich raised a hand, and the crowd fell silent once more, eager to hear his words.
