The First Magic World War

Chapter 412: 384. Grand Philosopher Borozhe: Lionheart King is the world’s first amazing book.

Charles never thought that his conquest of Modova, and his subsequent occupation, would actually be recognized by the Lionheart Dynasty.

And it was the highest level of recognition!

The Great Berenhill, King Baldwin Asa, personally delivered the state letter!

There was no more formal ceremony than this.

Charles also slightly understood that a large reason why the Lionheart Dynasty was willing to recognize this was their preference for having one more friendly neighboring country on their border since the previous Duke of Modova was likely not very amiable towards the Lionheart Dynasty.

For the Lionheart Dynasty, Modova was a place of no value for rule, considering that Arsen Lupin had to lead the life of a bandit in Modova and it was tough going, requiring Princess Akso to sponsor him twice a year.

If even the life of a bandit was so tough, how could the lives of the common residents of Modova be? It was, frankly, not hard to imagine.

Charles didn’t mind at all, establishing the friendliest relations with the Lionheart Dynasty. After all, Modova was right next to the Lionheart Dynasty; if the lion sneezed, Modova would have to catch a cold for Emperor Baldwin Asa.

Crown Prince Berenhir Azar delivered the state letter to Charles and then went to speak with Princess Akso. After all, representing the Fars Empire, her status was far too significant.

Charles stepped back into the envoy delegation, handing the state letter from the Lionheart Dynasty over to Anne. Looking at the document, she felt as if she were in a dream. Though a Dreamwalker, she had never had a moment like this, always thinking she was dreaming, yet unable to wake up no matter what.

Speaking softly, Anne said, “Out of the thirty-three nations of the Old Continent, have we obtained the recognition of two countries?”

Charles smiled faintly and replied, “Indeed! And moreover, they are two of the Five Great Empires!”

Anne still couldn’t quite believe it; what Charles had accomplished was just too dreamlike, more of a Dreamwalker than a Dreamwalker herself, more Dreamscape than the Dreamscape itself.

As a child, not even Mama Karen’s bedtime tales could conjure up such fantastical dreams.

The envoy team from Fars, under the reception of Crown Prince Berenhir Azar, headed directly to the capital of the Lionheart Dynasty, Asa Fortress!

The last name of the Lionheart Dynasty’s Royal Family was Asa, and the capital of the Lionheart Dynasty was also Asa Fortress!

On the way, Charles received the warmest hospitality. His novel “The Lionheart King” could be seen everywhere in the Lionheart Dynasty. Almost every official he met from the Lionheart Dynasty had read this novel, and at every banquet hosted by the Lionheart Dynasty for the envoy delegation, there would be people greeting him, discussing this “historically accurate” novel.

The grand feats of the fictional Lionheart King Charles that Charles had made up were something everyone researched. Not only did scholars prove that parts of the novel were in line with historical truth, echoing some ancient records, but it was even praised by one of the most prestigious philosophers of humanity currently venerated by the Lionheart Dynasty’s Royal Family, Bo Luo Zhe.

This great philosopher praised the book as the “most extraordinary novel in the world”!

Because of this remark, the Lionheart Dynasty even ordered a hundred thousand copies from Anne’s bookstore, adding this great philosopher’s comment on a new edition’s title page.

Every day, aside from banquets, was spent receiving countless praises. Charles’s days in the Lionheart Dynasty were far more comfortable than in Fars.

After just over a month, they finally arrived at the capital of the Lionheart Dynasty, Asa Fortress.

Upon entering Asa Fortress, the envoy delegation was accommodated in Cold Spring Palace!

Normally, foreign envoy delegations would stay in the embassy district, with dedicated reception lodgings, but this delegation was arranged to stay at the Cold Spring Palace, where the Asa Royal Family spent their summers. The level of reception they received was simply unparalleled.

Apart from Princess Akso, whose status was indeed exceptional, almost everyone knew that the reason for the excitement was because “Annie MacLennan,” the author of “The Lionheart King,” was also in the delegation.

It was common knowledge in the Lionheart Dynasty that the novel was dictated by Charles Meklen and published with great effort by Anne Brittany!

Indeed, no one dared separate the two.

Because Baldwin Asa had repeatedly said that he would officiate their wedding in the future!

This affair absolutely could not be meddled with by Julius Axler VI.

The exact words of Baldwin Asa were, “Why should the wedding of our great Lionheart Dynasty writer be officiated by the Emperor of Fars? He should stick to waging wars! He doesn’t understand a thing about culture, the brute.”

On the third day after entering Asa Fortress, although Princess Akso had not yet been granted an audience with His Majesty Emperor Baldwin Asa, the Lionheart Emperor had already sent out a personal invitation to have Charles and Annie attend a banquet at the Lionheart Palace.

When Charles stepped into Lionheart Palace, he knew that this meal he was eating would surely be recorded in history.

Indeed, His Majesty Emperor Baldwin Asa had actually summoned the Historian over.

Charles had never seen Julius Axtel VI, but he had already met the Emperor of Inglima, Alfred Guillaume, and now, encountering the Lionheart King of this era, Baldwin Asa, gave Charles a very strange feeling.

Emperor Baldwin Asa, even more so than the young Red Dragon Emperor, was warmer in his demeanor. Upon seeing Charles and Anne, he raised his hand and said, “Today is a day worthy of being written into the annals of history, as we have the honor of hosting Lord Mecklen and Lady Brittany at Lionheart Palace.”

“Let’s raise our glasses to the great Lionheart King Charles!”

With the Emperor himself raising his glass, how could the officials of the Lionheart Dynasty not follow suit?

Charles and Anne were also obliged to raise their glasses, and immediately the atmosphere of the banquet heated up. People kept asking Charles about the novel, and Charles felt a cold sweat breaking out, as some questions he truly did not know how to answer.

After all, he wasn’t the one who wrote those novels!

He had merely memorized novels that he had read in a previous life.

Moreover, Charles had come to a further understanding that the best thing for him was to never mention “The Lionheart King” again. He definitively could not bring up any details about the novel, nor could he dare to change a single word.

The novel had become a cultural belief of the Lionheart Dynasty.

Anyone who attempted to change or interpret it would be universally despised, even if that person was the “author.”

Having realized this, Charles no longer discussed “The Lionheart King.” After subtly signaling to Anne, he began to talk about a new novel.

After all, he was a graduate of Sheffield University and well-versed in the history of the Lionheart Dynasty. At the banquet, he concocted a story about King Charles’s three most loyal followers, titled “The Three Leaders of Ten Thousand Horsemen!” and revealed the plot to the nobles attending the banquet.

These three most faithful followers of Lionheart King Charles were also the three great founding Dukes of the Lionheart Dynasty, whose titles and power had been passed down to the present day, still the most influential families in the Lionheart Dynasty! Their descendants had branched out, forming a rather complex network of bloodlines.

Charles had only mentioned a few sentences, and the eyes of the nobles present were already shining. Before long, an elderly noble approached him, lowered his voice, and said, “Mister Mecklen, I’ve heard your new novel will feature my ancestor, and I have many primary sources at home. I would like to give them to you for reference during your writing.”
