Chapter 340: When the Sun Rises, the Darkness Dissipates (Part II)
Almost most of the people of Jagon would have come this morning.
The prince's coming-of-age baptism was probably preceded by a few years ago, when Princess Seria came of age, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have an unprecedented scene in many years.
And every time the royal children come of age ceremony, the Sun Temple will give meat and some rice porridge to the capital, which is good news for residents living below the poverty line, even ordinary families will not prevent such gifts.
So there were a lot of people coming on this day!
Compared with the previous princess coming-of-age ceremony, the prince who came back from abroad seems to be much less pompous, but it is also worth watching for everyone.
After all......
It was the only son of the empress.
"Today is the coming-of-age ceremony that will be held after the return of the empress's son, so I must go and see it. "Many of the city's residents are rushing to spread the word.
However, there are many people who can't remember when the first empress was, especially the children born in the last 20 years, and they can't imagine it.
"By the way, what day did the first empress succeed to the throne?"
"You don't know?"
"I heard that there was an empress before the current Sun King, because I heard a few years ago that the Sun King's sister was still alive, but I don't know when she ruled. A citizen asked.
In fact, there are many young people around who don't know much about it......
Although most of the people gathered around the temple of the sun to watch, many of them came to admire it, but they heard that it was the son of the previous empress who was baptized today, but they did not know about it when the previous empress was in power.
"Alas~ You young people, you just forgot history. Now that life is good, I don't know the days when the whole Jagon struggled constantly. An old man on the side said indignantly.
"It was the most difficult time for Jagon during the reign of the Empress, when Jagon was not as wealthy as he is now, but the desert kingdoms have always been eyeing the orthodoxy of the Temple of the Sun...... The modern empress was 10 years old when she wandered around with the current Sun King because of the war, and finally returned to Jiagong after various hardships. ”
In the old man's words, there seemed to be another story of struggle, but it was still difficult to understand among the young people in front of him.
"And then?"
"At the age of 12, Empress Ayla officially succeeded to the throne, and it was she who led the poor people of Jagon to get to where they are today...... Later, when she was twenty years old, she decided to pass the position to the newly adult Sun King, and at first the Sun King was unwilling to accept it, and the ministers were unwilling to accept it, and finally it was her departure from the palace that prompted the ministers to have to support the new Sun King. The old man said.
At this moment, words came from the direction of the temple, and it happened to be this thing.
Nowadays, there is little mention of the deeds of the previous empress, but the high priest would tell his story at the prince's coming-of-age ceremony, but since Sean had little experience in Jagon, he told more about his mother's experience.
The first Empress Ayila Izdihar.
Sean listened and figured out what happened when his mother left Jagon, 12 years old and 20 years old away from Edak, and Mel Susa said that she had been with her mother for two or three years in the earliest days.
Speaking of which, his mother has a very strong strength at the age of 17, and it is estimated that she is about level 10 of the orderly.
Afterwards depart the Aidak region and head to Zambutar ...... As for what to do, no one knows, but the age is not right......
Because Sean is now in his early twenties, it is impossible for him to marry his father after leaving twenty years ago, and there should be no news for a few years in between, so there is no record.
Otherwise, it will not be possible to connect with the fact that Duke Haruman said that he had seen the Sun King...... The uncle in front of him did go to the Basharan Empire, and now it is estimated that he may have gone to the Basharan Empire after receiving news from his mother.
It is estimated that there will be three or four years, and during that period, my mother's ability gradually became stronger.
Later, for some reason, he went to the small town of Telemian, and was pursued by the then Baron Vegel and finally married and gave birth to 'Sean', getting married at the age of twenty-three or four is too late in this era, but in Sean's opinion, it is a normal age.
After that, he raised little Sean until he was four or five years old before leaving town......
Hiss~
It still doesn't seem right.
More than twenty years, it could be twenty years, or it could be nearly thirty years.
If I had added a little more time, the day my mother would have left the town would have been when the Sun King himself went to the Basharan Empire......
Although she was not taken away directly, or even found in the town, the news of the Sun King's arrival in the Basharan Empire must have been the reason for her mother's departure, and she returned to Jagon for several years and remained until her death.
Twenty years together, Sean estimates that his mother should be about forty or fifty years old when she dies, after all, the current Sun Kings are already in their forties, and his father is married to a wife who is older than himself.
From the high priest's speech, Sean finally estimated the main energy of the previous generation.
It's just that I still don't understand why my mother came back in the first place, and who wanted to assassinate me later...... It's been more than ten years since my mother came back, and I only thought of it suddenly in recent years.
And what has my mother done in the palace all these years?
Just as Sean was thinking about it, the High Priest suddenly let himself look into the golden basin......
"Under the protection of the sun god, today we will welcome the return of a pioneer who is the light and our sun. As the eulogy was recited, the audience cheered.
Sean could even see the state of [excitement!] above everyone's heads.
Even the Sun King, who was standing next to him, had a smile on his face......
"Looking at the first rays of the sun, what do you see, Your Royal Highness?" the words suddenly turned to themselves.
I don't know who is behind my back reminding myself to reach out and touch the golden basin.
However, just as the palms of his hands touched, Sean's mind suddenly flashed through some images of wriggling tentacles.
Swollen tentacles, standing like a man in the desert, faceless but with mouths, as if roaring in the dust.
"When the sun rises, the darkness dissipates......"
The high priest beside him was still talking.
But Sean's mind kept flooding with all sorts of terrifying and distorted images at the moment, and he could even feel the feeling that a name was about to blurt out.
"Nyara Totip!!" a voice as thin as a mosquito's foot kept coming out of his mouth.
"Your Royal Highness...... What did you just say?"
Suddenly, the voice pulls Sean back into reality......
He looked at all the people at the foot of the temple who were waiting for his answer.
"I see the light!"
Barely holding back a smile and finally replied, as cheers erupted from the entire temple beneath the temple again.
Only the high priest standing by looked a little nervous......
