His Stunning Doctor Wife novel Chapter 2593

At that moment, a priest dressed in a long robe stood up and held a scripture in his hands. He said many words but they were all meaningless to Fade.

Nearly half an hour later, when the sky had completely darkened, the priest finally ended his speech, announcing that the Sword in the Stone ceremony had officially begun.

Next, over ten thousand of the members of the royal family drew their swords and knelt to the Sword in the Stone on one knee.

After that, it was finally the highlight of the ceremony. Each member of the royal family was going to attempt to pull out the Sword in the Stone. If they succeeded, they would earn the respect of the royal family.

All the disciples in the royal family were itching to have a go.

Most of the people present knew that the battle for the Sword in the Stone was between Prince Aubrey and Prince Bruton. The other members of the royal family didn't stand a chance.

However, after all, it was an annual grand event and a chance to change one's life. Many royal members wanted to give it a try.

As the priest announced the list, the members of the royal family took turns heading towards the square stone in the center of the courtyard. They gathered their breath and held the rusty stone sword with their hands. Gritting their teeth, they tried to pull the sword out of the stone.

However, after a series of attempts, the Sword in the Stone remained intact. Moving it seemed like an impossible task.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten royal members had made their attempts, but there was still no progress.

Although everyone expected the results, they were inevitably a little disappointed when they saw it with their own eyes. The high-level members of the royal family sitting behind the curtain on the second floor of the manor couldn't help sighing when they looked down.

At this time, Fade squinted and looked at the scene as he became a little interested in it.

That was because he had been observing from before. Although these royal family members with common knowledge didn't have any powerful martial artists, they still had basic strength. Even the weakest were at the early stage of the Earth Level, while the strongest were even at the Heaven Level.

With this kind of strength, they would be considered experts compared to ordinary people.

Under normal circumstances, if an iron sword was inserted into a stone, a martial artist at the middle or advanced stage of the Yellow Level could pull the sword out, let alone an Earth Level martial artist.

However, now, the Sword in the Stone still hadn't budged. He had to admit that it was a little mysterious.

Suddenly, the crowd burst into cheers, which awakened Fade from his thoughts.

He looked up and saw a man in his mid thirties. The surrounding area was filled with enthusiastic applause and discussions when he stood up.

Seeing this, Fade couldn't help but ask Celine out of curiosity, "Who's that? Is he that good?"

She drew close to him and explained in a low voice, "That's Mr. Jobrey. He's a junior of the royal bloodline. Although his status isn't as high as Prince Aubrey or Prince Bruton, his grandfather was the younger brother of the king. He can be considered a blood relative of the royal family."

"More importantly, Jobrey served in the army since he was 18 years old. He has made outstanding military achievements and his strength isn't bad. He's quite famous."

"Someone even said that if it wasn't for the bloodline, Jobrey would be able to compete with the two princes."

"It's almost impossible for Jobrey to compete for the throne, but it'll be a great opportunity for him and his family to raise their social status if he succeeded."

"Besides, last year, Jobrey was one of the best royal members, so everyone is looking forward to seeing him."

After hearing what Celine had said, Fade nodded and looked at Jobrey with great interest. "I see!"
