Although, the four aristocratic families say that they do not recognise Bai family as a proper aristocratic family because according to them all the wealth and power of Bai family comes from Samuel Walton and if someday he wants to take it back he, Bai Moliang will have nowhere to go.
He also totally agree with them. Indeed, today's Bai family's wealth and power are given by His Majesty but not because he is his elders sister's husband.
The power and wealth that he enjoys today are all that he personally exchanged with his blood and sweat. It is in return of all those countless victories he got, all the lands he won for the country and Royal family, countless wounds and sometimes even serious injuries he suffered. A couple of times he almost lost his life. But he still stabilized the heart of military towards Royal Family and became Country's one and only General.
Suddenly, Samual turns extremely serious and then solemnly calls out " Bai moliang, Five star general of the country, Red army's highest ranking official, 9178 capital batch, titled as the third Duke take my decree. "
General Bai turns stiff for a second as its been a long time he was going to take a royal order but then he calm himself and solemnly kneels down in reply.
Sam continues
"Today ,I, Samuel Walton, Regent Emperor of this country ,decrees you to take Arianna Robin Walton,third generation princess of royal family as your successor .This is the successor who will inherit not only your position but also your army in the future."
"Brother ! What are you talking about? " Princess Ming forgot about her etiquettes and royal protocols and hurriedly shouted after her brother finishes his words.
She wasn't the only one who was shocked ,her husband kneeling down receiving royal decree was also very astonished.He looks at his little grandniece who is just three year old and is so soft and lovely not to mention so small that even heavy wind can harm her.
When he was observing his little grand niece turned disciple she give him a smile, he gets stiffened once again from her cuteness and concludes that even if he accepts this royal decree he was harming her. He blamed himself in his heart. How can he make her suffer? How can sich a small and soft child go to that battlefield and face all those bloody fights? Such a small children the center of hos palm and should be dotted upon and should get spoiled unconditionally.
But then he realises that this is a royal decree and no one can refuse this .The consequences of doing that are beheading and extermination of entire clan.As long as you are not planning to rebel you are not going to refuse a royal decree . Not to mention that this decree is by the Regent Emperor himself.He must have thought about all the pros and cons of his decision.He has always followed his master and has no reason to doubt his decision.
After slightly adjusting himself ,General Bai accepts the decree.
"All thanks to your grace, your majesty ."
Princess Ming is still not able to digest her brother's words.She understands the reason why her brother did this. She knows that no one will accept her grandnephew Adrian ,when he will come back. A heir who has no merits to show and prove his strength and who was away from the eyes of the noble and common people.How can he be accepted as Crown prince of the royal family. They will not see his capabilities and that when he left the palace he was just three years old and was assassinated. If not because he lost his memory this time and despite trying to keep their safety as the utmost importance and the one against him was none other than than Jack Walton, their nephew ,otherwise her brother would not send his grandson like that.
She sighs and then shook her head. she do not want to think about that beast who has no blood of royal family flowing in his veins but is considered her nephew. If it wasn't because of her brother's promise to his mother ALAS... Who would have expected this. But she still don't want to see her little darling suffer or getting injured in battlefield at such a young age.She know her brother is very wise.Today's royal family is depended on him entirely but she still does not know if her little darling understand what her grandfather is talking about.
