Twelve Knights of the Fountain of Lions (Last Day of June, Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)
The second person named by the emperor was, naturally, Antonio!
He was formally invested as Count Brittany and given control over the Brittany Family's lands.
The twelve Knights who had sworn loyalty back then were also invested one by one!
Prince Avery appeared with a smile and declared loudly, "When the Empire of Fars faced peril, even His Majesty Brittany felt weary! Yet twelve Knights remained steadfastly at the emperor's side, helping him accomplish his great achievements."
"At the Fountain of Lions, they removed their armor and battle robes, bathed in the hot springs, washed away everything from the past, and swore loyalty to His Imperial Majesty McLean Brittany, thus opening a new dynasty."
"On behalf of the royal family, I hereby announce that the Fountain of Lions shall become a symbol of the empire's prosperity. A palace shall be constructed on the site. It shall be a royal palace, open only to the royal family and the descendants of the Twelve Knights of the Fountain of Lions, who may enter to pay their respects."
Charlotte was slightly stunned. He had never imagined that the dirt pit from back then would actually be granted the name Fountain of Lions.
In any country on the Old Continent, the Fountain of Lions carried special significance. Lions represented the emperor's most loyal military commanders, whose bravery and loyalty could be recorded in history and passed down forever.
Well, the Robin Family had once held the illustrious title of Grand Duke of the Fountain of Lions as well.
However, His Imperial Majesty Brittany had not founded a great empire through southern campaigns and northern conquests, but gained it through a coup. Therefore, the highest rank among those twelve Knights was merely Count.
They were nowhere near as impressive as the seven founding Grand Dukes
