MTLNOVEL Chapter 143: Chapter 143
Just then, Hilda stopped.
Alice was also looking around. She had rarely been to this banquet room and felt it was somewhat unfamiliar. She couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Didn't mother bring us to see the coat of arms? Where is it?"
Hilda stopped walking when she heard that.
In a short while, she had already walked to the center of the hall.
Turn around.
Facing the crowd.
The smile on Hilda's face was still clearly visible, and her expression was very bright, as if covered with a layer of flames, which contrasted with the color of her hair.
She held up her finger.
The outline of fingertips walked to the edge of light in the hazy sunset glow.
Raise it above your head and point to the sky.
"look."
Alan looked at the 'sunshine' on Hilda's finger and raised his head sharply.
Not 'seemingly'.
The glow of the sun did shine upon Hilda's face.
Why are ceiling candle lamps strung with iron chains instead of being hung directly on the beams?
because
There is no such thing as a beam in this banquet room.
Into the eyes.
Above the towering roofs is a gorgeous sunset.
The mist lingers above the huge enameled glass dome skylight.
The sunset glows on the glass with gorgeous colors.
The gaps between the pieces of enamel glass outline the edges of the feathers.
The feather itself is made of glass, and light flows continuously on it.
In a pair of wings made of enameled glass.
It's a black 'heart'.
Rough, hard, grainy.
It has a metallic luster.
No.
That was a heart made from a single piece of iron.
Heart of Iron.
Boreas family coat of arms.
Hovering above everyone's heads.
Flapping wings to fly.
I could hear the exclamations of Rudy and Sylphy, and the shouting voice of Miss Alice from Boreas.
Hilda smiled and responded to everyone's questions.
"It is indeed a place that is easily overlooked, because basically no one comes to this banquet room during the day. How much manpower will this emblem consume? I am not sure about this, Rudy."
"Haha, my expression was similar to yours when I saw it. It was really shocking. When I first came here, it was also a night dance, and I didn't even notice it. It was your father who brought me to see it later."
"Was it just me and Philip? Yes, Lufei, oh? Why are you blushing?"
"Are there other places with this kind of glass dome emblem besides here? Yes, Gileno, father often looks at the tall tower in the distance, and the top of the tower is exactly the same."
Hilda's words passed by Alan's ears one by one.
He kept his head up, looking up at Iron Heart.
My thoughts are in a mess.
Boreas's territory will last forever on this land?
The goal is ambitious.
He has the courage to cede territory for himself as a military officer and a founding hero.
The hidden meaning of this sentence is very obvious.
This land may not be the land of the Kingdom of Asura, but it must be the land of Boreas.
Kingdoms can rise and fall in times of trouble.
Boreas will live forever.
Heart of Iron?
This requires every lord to have a heart of steel.
Carry out this goal to the end.
Who among the next generation of heirs meets this condition?
Philip, scheming, cunning as a fox, a good husband, and yearning for the capital of Ars, the center of power in the Kingdom of Asura?
Obviously not.
Is that James?
Does he have the iron will to carry out this goal?
From the subsequent plot, it can be seen that he is obviously not one of them, as his actions go against Sauros's wish to spend all his wealth to rebuild his territory.
So why did Sauros prefer him?
Because at least on the surface this person has one characteristic that is more in line with the requirements of "Heart of Iron".
That is——
He was colder and more self-absorbed than Philip.
Looks more rebellious.
Whether it was his performance in the battle for the next head of the family that year, or his intention to kill Alan.
All of this proves the point.
In a sense, this is closer to "Heart of Iron".

169. Chapter 166 Dance Rehearsal, dance teaching from Hilda who arrives early?
169.
The conversations around me continued.
Alan just kept staring at the enameled skylight over the dining room.
The sunset dyed the sky outside the enamel glass into a hazy color, outlining the iron heart.
Crimson fell from the sky.
It was branded in his pupils.
Alan raised his hand slowly.
'Gripped' the iron heart above his head.
"Boreas's."
"Heart of Iron."
I couldn't help but mutter to myself.
The sound was not loud and was completely drowned out by the echoing conversations of the people around.
But the next moment.
As he spoke, Hilda, Sylphy, Rudy, Alice, and Gileno all stopped their conversations.
Everyone turned to look at him.
Allen was still immersed in his own thoughts, but the intense gazes of these five people and ten eyes caught his attention like an air-raid shelter alarm in the flow of feelings, and forcibly pulled him out of the feeling of "coming to the state".
He turned his head stiffly to look at the people who were staring at him, and his face froze.
No, why are you all looking at me?
He blinked awkwardly.
". Very beautiful.." Alan pointed his finger to the sky, "Heart of Iron."
Hilda blinked and smiled.
"The emblem on the tower is more beautiful and more stunning."
"Really? Mother, take us there! Let Alan see it!" Alice immediately turned around and started to act coquettishly in the high-pitched voice with the modulation of a little lion.
Rudy, who was standing by, was so shocked that he quickly covered his ears.
Hilda shook her head helplessly.
"Father is very likely to be there now. There are too many people here, so we should not disturb him. Besides, it is already dark, so we may not be able to see clearly."
"Ah~Is that so!"
Alice curled her lips.
He turned to stare at Alan, his arms folded across his chest, his chin raised.
"Some other time! I'll take you there! How about it?! And Sylphy, take Rudy with you too!"
He looks like a little adult.
I don't know why I'm so proud.
Allen/Rudy/Sylphy:
"Thank you."×3.
Hilda watched this scene and chuckled.
Everyone scratched their heads and looked at Alice who looked puzzled.
"Alice." Hilda touched Alice's head and smoothed down her alopecia.
"Um?"
"Rather than worrying about the tower's emblem, you should probably focus more on the present."
"Huh?"
Hilda bent over and looked into Alice's eyes.
"The tenth birthday party will be held here. There will be nobles from all over the territory attending the party. What's different from the fifth birthday party is that this time, as the protagonist of the party, you will have to perform the opening dance before the dance begins. You can't just stand by and watch. And who knows, there may be many young talents who will come to dance with you."
"How."
"Yeah."
"manage."
"Woolen cloth?"
As Hilda spoke word by word with a slight teasing tone, Alice's face was visibly stunned, revealing a very obvious reluctance.
"Can't we just not dance?! Dancing is not necessary at all!"
"No, father will be angry."
"Ah, I can't learn that! Why do I have to do something I can't do well?!"
