Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 678: Coronation and marriage proposal
September 22.
Bekele, the capital of Falates, refurbished St. James's Palace.
Although there was still a sporadic light rain the day before, when the 400,000 citizens of the capital city were still asleep last night, two great wizards, Ivan and Princeton, had already joined forces to lift the capital into the air. The clouds and rain were scattered, and even the large smog emitted by the factory in the past was swept away.
At this time, like flags of various colors in the blue sky washed with spring water fluttering in the wind, all the people from the Kingdom and abroad who participated in the ceremony have gathered in the square in front of St. James's Palace.
The atmosphere is solemn and solemn.
Including Irvine himself, fifty-nine members of the House of Lords in luxurious clothes, and fifty-nine nobles of at least earl or above, standing in the nearest place to Queen Isabella and Crown Prince Livina.
Then there are the ministers of state: Admiral of the Navy, Field Marshal, Speaker of the House of Commons, Minister of Finance, Secretary of Defense, Justice...
Representatives of nobles and administrative officials at all levels of the kingdom...including the old father-in-law Marquis Duke and mother-in-law Nymph also came together. There is the original version of Nymph's [Natural Gem·Emerald·Dream Parade], and the couple crosses The Black Sea is also effortless, and it should be an easy and pleasant trip across the ocean.
It's just that Olivia, who has worked so hard to stay at home, is alone in managing the overall situation of the three territories.
Aven, dressed in a straight major general uniform with various medals on his chest, stood next to Livina with a gilt command knife in his hand and looked down, and could not help but secretly sigh.
Although the area of its own territory is already two-thirds of the 720,000 square kilometers of the Kingdom’s mainland, Jiaugor Island, the population is close to one million, and it seems that the fire is booming.
But compared to a powerful kingdom that has lasted for a thousand years and is about to challenge the world's number one, it is still no different from the Caotai team. For the time being, it was far from enough to let go and fly solo, and still cling to the kingdom's thighs.
If you can really realize the ambitions of the kingdom up and down and replace it with Hilius, maybe the incidental bonus will be enough to support yourself, and you will be able to fight for decades less.
Thinking of this, Ivan couldn't help but glance over the envoy of Hilius.
The information is public, and Zhengshi is a great knight with the title of prince of the empire. Although Uncle Beagle is older but less than fifty years old, it is more than enough for the great knight. Bar.
It was another great knight standing beside him who was dressed plainly and embraced a swift sword, but Ivan couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly. This is a master! A master of swordsmanship who has at least reached the master level!
Beep! beep--!
With the horn of the charge as a prelude, the royal band played the coronation carol "Hope and Glory Land", and the coronation ceremony of the new queen of the kingdom officially entered the climax.
Ivan walked slowly to the center of the coronation ceremony platform beside Livina, who was wearing a lake blue luxurious palace dress and stepped on gold high heels.
The two guardians of the kingdom, the titled knights "Glory of Glory" Lionheart Archduke and "Rose Sword Saint" Ilvid, stand on the left and right ends of the coronation platform just like the patron saints.
The meticulously retouched Livina is two points less charming and three points more majestic and graceful. With the vigorous temperament of the third-order knight himself, it has actually become a bit of a queen.
On her, the blue skirt represents the kingdom’s ambition and the heart to pioneer the ocean, the brooch with 59 diamonds represents the kingdom’s core community of interests, and the saber on the waist represents her My own Wuxun...
This time.
It was not Queen Isabella who presided over the coronation ceremony for Livina, but a senior priest from the "Black Iron Cross Church", who represented the jurisprudence of the legitimacy of the king's power-the "sovereign power"!
But the one who came was not the most noble and powerful pope, but a retired archbishop from the cardinals of the church, who looked dying.
At this time, the archbishop named Lance only represents the gods. He has no secular status and clergy in him, and he no longer has any secular influence. It is the purest state that is closest to the gods.
It can be regarded as a compromise of checks and balances and struggles between the secular power and the teaching power for so many years, so as to avoid the infiltration of the teaching power to the secular power to the greatest extent.
On the surface, the archbishop has a thin face and can only be considered healthy under the support of the Holy Power, but his pale blue eyes are as bright as morning stars.
After nodding lightly, he held a book of the goddess's holy scripture and asked Livina to put his hand on the cover with the holy emblem, and asked solemnly on behalf of the goddess:
"Are you willing to make a solemn promise to rule the Kingdom of Falatis, Ugric Island, Southern Continent Nigeria, the New World, and the people of your territories, manage their land, and respect their respective laws in the rule And customs?"
Li Wei Na said solemnly: "I would like to solemnly promise."
Archbishop: "Are you willing to exercise your royal power properly with a benevolent heart and do your best, and put the cause of law and justice in the hands of a strict judge?"
Livina: "I do."
Archbishop: "..."
Livina: "..."
The oath of succession is gradually coming to an end, and the priests in black robes standing on the left side of the coronation platform walked over the coronation crown that represented the supreme kingship of Phalitis.
The crown was placed on a tray padded with red velvet, held by Benedit, the bishop of Falettis, beside him, followed by two other bishop-level priests.
The three came to the side of the Archbishop of Lance and Livina, knelt on one knee and lifted the crown in their hands.
This is the blessed "Crown of Saint Edward". There are many crowns for the queen, but the coronation crown that represents the power of Falitis has only this one from beginning to end.
Under the bright sunlight, the crown, which only appears during the coronation, made everyone on the scene see it.
Obviously, the kingdom was really not rich at the time. The skeleton of the crown was just ordinary silver, but after being blessed by the gods, it still shined after thousands of years.
The exterior of the crown is decorated with purple velvet, exposed on the gold frame outside the velvet, and is inlaid with a circle of white natural diamonds. The silver frame in front is stretched into the shape of a cross.
On the top of the crown, there is a huge sapphire inlaid.
This gem-level sapphire has a history of more than a thousand years and weighs 330 carats. It was originally owned by Saint Edward, the founder of the kingdom, the titled knight.
"Child of God, the goddess bless you!"
When the Archbishop Lance finally chanted the blessings to the queen, he lifted the crown from the tray beside him with both hands and slowly put it on Livina's head.
In the slightly moist eyes of Isabella next to her.
"Long live Her Majesty!"
"Long live Her Majesty!"
The nobles, generals, and important officials of the kingdom who flocked around the platform all knelt down on one knee to swear allegiance to the new queen of the kingdom. Although the dynasty was changed, the transition was smooth and there was no internal friction.
At the same time.
Even, who breathed a sigh of relief because of the successful completion of the ceremony, did not dare to completely relax his vigilance. He has been using the [Mind Network] and the city's defense forces to control the external situation at any time.
"Report to your Excellency that after the previous three cleansings, the outside of the palace is fairly stable, with only a small disturbance.
But today, many citizens reported that they suddenly heard the sounds of goats and cows coming from the sewer. The Great Knight of Ambros of the church has led the team deep into the sewer..."
Hearing this, Irvine's brows can't help but frown.
However, before he could even think about it, he saw that the deputy envoy of the Hilius Empire had swaggered out from the envoy table, and his expression was stunned:
"Come on!"
The coronation ceremony is officially completed, and the process has come to the time when Livina received the envoy as a queen.
According to the tradition of tulips, the new king will generally receive gifts and give them back at this link, which is regarded as the king's first foreign affairs activity.
What the Hilius wants to do today is not beyond their expectations.
The "Eternal Fire" religious reform is nearly complete, almost clearing most of the old religion from the territory of the Hilius Empire. Philip II has long been proud of himself, and he is already the most supreme in the world. His Majesty the Emperor.
The next step is to build an empire that will last forever!
After taking the time, the first thing to do is to beat the tulips, especially Falettis, who is the most powerful.
As the world’s most powerful country, the official of Hilius is not to be like a gangster, poisoning, assassinating...and doing things that are not on the table.
However, this method is...beyond everyone's expectations.
The deputy envoy handed over a letter from Philip II, then gently stroked his chest and smiled:
"In addition to congratulating your majesty for your coronation, there is another thing to congratulate your majesty, the great Emperor Sirius has heard that you are unmarried so far...Barabala..."
Ivan was already dumbfounded, just want to say: "Good guy, I'm a good guy!"
Of course, Philip II was not proposing to himself~IndoMTL.com~, and the object of the proposal was the Prince who was still sitting in his seat.
The identity is probably the cousin of Philip II.
In the eyes of normal people, although he is over forty years old, he is also a real knight. It looks like a young man in his twenties, who is particularly unsure about life. In any case, it is considered a rare talent.
Moreover, he still has the right to inherit the throne of Hilius in legal terms. Although he ranks very low, it is not too insulting to Livina in the eyes of Philip II.
Even in the eyes of Philip II, whose only benefit is political marriage, he could accept Phaletis on the battleship of Hilius, or Phaletis took advantage, and he should be happy.
If Falitis can unite strongly with Hilius, let alone sweep the entire Old Continent, it will be easy to rule the sea.
But in the eyes of the Lord Falitis, this is a naked provocation!
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
