Chapter 10: The Crown of the Wind
When I came to Morales's house, I saw the flags everywhere in front of the door, and I remembered that Marcelo, the head of the Morales family and the prime minister of the empire, had just passed away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
His funeral was held on the same day as Princess Emily's, and in contrast to the grandeur and sensation of the princess's funeral, the funeral of the Morales family was carried out quietly, and everything was carried out unnoticed-only a few princes and ministers came to attend except for the members of the family, and I had to come and go in a hurry because I wanted to organize Emily's funeral.
This is the Morale family's usual way of doing things, just like their family motto - "self-denial".
I entered the house under the guidance of the doorman, and happened to meet Kar Anji, who was about to go out, dressed in linen and filial piety, and when he saw me suddenly appearing at home, he saluted me with a surprised face and a little uneasiness: "Your Highness is in the Humble House, I have not been far away, please forgive your Highness!" I wonder what is the important matter of His Highness's presence in person? I'm going to the Ministry of State ......."
"Aiqing, please get up! I don't have anything special to do here...... Is Mrs. You at home? I said mildly.
"The little sister is at home, Wei Chen is going to call the little sister out to meet the fight......" Carl hurriedly stood up, trying to lead the way inside.
"You go to the Ministry of State to do your business, I'll just go in myself...... Well, Ling's father has just passed away, and everything at home needs to be taken care of, so you might as well hand over the work to the people below first, and take care of the family's affairs first. I said, waving my hand.
"Your Highness!" After Carl finished speaking, he saluted again and gave instructions to the steward of the palace before leaving.
I entered the garden of the house under the guidance of the steward, but I saw that in the midst of the green bushes, where the flowers were blooming, Eurier, dressed in plain white clothes and with a small white red in her hair, was standing there.
At this time, Juliet was indescribably weak and graceful, her face was shrouded in a faint sense of sorrow, and her stunned eyes were a deep dark blue, such as mourning in her thoughts, and sighing in a low voice, which made people unbearable to disturb, but she was afraid of breaking the ceremony of saying goodbye to her loved ones in the phantom civic domain where heaven and man meet......
I slowed down and slowly came to her side, standing silently.
After a long time, Yuliet seemed to wake up and noticed that I was by my side, so she greeted me softly: "Brother, are you ......here?"
"If you want me to come, of course I will; Even if you don't want me to come, I'm afraid I'll come uninvited. "I looked at Juliet's reduced and haggard face with pain.
"Brother, please don't inflict your usual domineering way on me, okay? I can't carry this kind of domineering and aggressive ......," Juliet said softly.
"You summoned me to the palace and addressed me as an elder brother, presumably because you wanted to talk to me as a member of your family...... I don't know how to express my family other than 'overbearing care'. I am a person who does not know how to get along with my loved ones. I said quietly.
Yu Liet Jiao sighed and said, "I thought that it would be more harmonious and easier to talk about some things as a relative, but it seems that I was wrong." β
I shook my head and said, "I have a father, a stepmother, and a brother, but they have nothing to do with me anymore...... Now that I have a sister like you, I don't know how to get along with my relatives, but I will learn...... Maybe you can teach me something about this, so that I can understand the kind of warmth between relatives......"
"This ...... How have I ever understood...... It wasn't until I lost my loved ones that I realized that the innate blood connection was an indelible mark engraved in the depths of my soul...... There are some things that you can't get rid of if you want to......"
Juliet's voice became ethereal and thorough, giving people a heavy sense of loss in the weightlessness of the space-like low and etherealβas if something heavy that had been pressing on the heart was suddenly withdrawn, making people suddenly feel empty. From the side, Juliet's pupils had turned a deep purple.
"Then let's learn together...... Xiao Yezi, if you have any requests, within the scope of my ability, I will definitely agree to you...... However, I hope you understand that within the scope of my attention, in addition to family affection, there is also the ...... of Jiangshan Sheji"
"I'm looking for you for His Majesty's business......"
"Didn't I promise you?"
Eurily faced me head-on, her pupils turned calm brown, and she said in a firm tone: "I have already received the promise as a politician, but I hope to get the promise of my brother as a relative, and little Henry needs your blessing!" I believe that the promises of Brother Alex trumped the promises of politicians, and even the future Alexander the Great! β
I was silent for a moment and said, "What if I don't say yes?" β
"Then you will not be able to ascend to the throne of God, and you will lose my sister...... I am the guardian of Her Majesty entrusted by Her Royal Highness the Princess before her death, and Her Majesty's jade seal and the seal of Her Royal Highness the Princess are in my hands...... I know you have your Highness's handwritten abdication letter, but I can also draw up another instrument to the contrary! Juliet fearlessly met my piercing gaze and spoke clearly and calmly.
When I heard Emily's name, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, and I took in the light in my eyes, and said gloomily, "What arrangements will my sister make for Your Majesty's life in the future?" What are my sister's plans for herself? I want you to stay with me...... Together with Carl, accompany me to take the empire into the future......"
"I will join the Cult of the Gods...... I originally had a ministry in the church...... And Your Majesty will live with me the life of the Church, grow up like an ordinary child, and never again set foot in the ......red dust," said Juliet firmly.
"What if I insist on not letting you go? What if I agreed to your request on the premise that you must stay with me forever? I don't care about Your Majesty's future days, what I really care about is you! I fixed my fiery gaze on her beautiful eyes and said affectionately.
Juliet's delicate body trembled slightly, her chest and abdomen rose and fell slightly, but she replied sadly and resentfully: "Alexander is the king of ten steps of murder, and Alexander's will is the irreversible will of heaven and earth...... If you really want to do this, how can Xiao Yezi not agree to your conditions? But...... If you are still Brother Alex of Little Leaf, I believe that my Brother Alex will not force his sister......"
"Since you have made up your mind, I will not force it...... Then it's as you wish......" I said weakly.
"That sister will present the jade seal and seal at the Arri's brother's enthronement ceremony! Brother Alec...... Thank you...... For Henry, for Father...... Thank you! β
"My sister cherishes everything and takes good care of herself...... You're a good sister to me anyway......"
After I finished speaking, I forcibly hugged Yuliet into my arms, held up her jade cheeks, kissed deeply on the two slightly trembling red lips, and then suddenly let go of her delicate body, and finally glanced at Yuliet with tears streaming down her face, and then silently turned away.
"Juliette Morales sends His Majesty Alexander the Great!"
The crying voice of Juliet behind me haunted me for a long time, but I knew that my brief brother-sister relationship with Xiao Yezi would be abruptly broken by this last goodbye......

On September 15, 1894, the Pope of the Gods and the Pope finally arrived at the West Gate of Proust in a car driven by nearly 10,000 people.
When I heard the news, I immediately summoned the generals and his ministers out of the city to greet them, but I saw thousands of cavalry of the "Knights Templar" in blue armor surrounded by more than a dozen light chariots, and the middle one was larger, but the design was simple and elegant, not showing any magnificence and authority, but like a hut standing deep in the bamboo forest, which I knew was the chariot of His Majesty the Pope.
After I welcomed the Cult of the Gods into the city and settled them, I never saw the Pope himself. Banderas conveyed to me the Pope's wish that His Holiness would not be able to come out to meet me because he was unwell, but only at my coronation.
I was well aware of the situation of those who were in possession of the "Destiny of Destiny", so I did not take it seriously, but I asked Banderas to convey my greetings to the Pope, and I did my best to greet these distinguished guests from afar.
Of course, the news of the arrival of the gods and popes in the imperial capital could not be concealed from the people of the imperial capital, and everyone was excited about the news. Some of the frenzied Christians even stormed the Cathedral in droves in an attempt to see the Pope, only to be stopped by the gendarmerie and the Templars, but also to the distraction of the bishops of the Cult of Gods.
In view of this, I have set up a sun-drenched, quiet and quiet abode in the Imperial Palace as the place where the Pope himself has fallen.
The Pope was pleased with my arrangement and sent someone to thank me.

On September 18th, the Imperial Court officially announced Henry's abdication, the Emperor's reign at Meinster, and the date of my coronation.
On 20 September, a group of men from Meinste, including Hasselblad, Matthew, Osma, Anwar, Yorkson, Harroeton, and others, arrived in the imperial capital, leaving only Galenhua and Bereham to take charge of Mainster's defense.
On September 23, the commander-in-chief of the "Sword of St. Lun", who had conquered one-third of the kingdom of Dotir and bordered the southwestern tip of the empire, also entered Proust.
Stepping into October 1894, the elven queen, the dwarven chief, the orc king, and the elven patriarch ...... Leaders of various ethnic groups also personally led delegations to congratulate one after another.
So it came October 10, 1894 in the Saint-Lun calendar...... The day I was officially crowned emperor.

In the vast and magnificent Grand Square of the Imperial Capital, the gendarmerie and the army surrounded the black oppressive crowd outside.
Wearing the golden armor of the "Goddess's Protection", I took the jade hand of Li Binglan and calmly walked down the wide aisle to the center of the square, followed by Vivian, Gartha Ruri, Drink, Sophie Cather, Yuhasu, Memphis, Hugh Belmont, Zolaci, Joseph, and others.
Li Binglan and I walked up the stairs, slowly climbed the high round platform in the center of the square, and then stood solemnly.
At this time, Juliet, who was still plain white, walked out of the crowd, walked quickly onto the platform, knelt down in front of me, held the jade seal and seal in his own hand and said: "The emperor's guardian Juliet Morales presents the national seal and seal to the new emperor, and may the new empire prosper and prosper!" β
When I took the seal, Juliet kowtowed slightly, and before I could say anything, she quickly retreated and disappeared into the crowd.
And Karanji's voice also sounded: "The coronation ceremony of Alexander the Great, the first emperor of the new Pharadisis Empire, has officially begun!" His Excellency St. Befaia III, Pope of the Gods, to crown the new emperor! β
Dressed in a moonlit robe, with his sleeves and collar adorned with twinkling stars, Pope St. Bephaya, surrounded by thirteen gold-robed archcardinals and nearly 100 silver-robed archbishops, walked into the square.
When the figure of St. Bephaia came from afar, I suddenly realized that the Pope of the Cult of the Gods, the person at the top of the theocracy, was actually a woman!
St. Befaia, the Pope of the Gods, was about thirty and forty years old, with a face as beautiful as an angel, hair as blue as the sea, and eyes as clear as the sky, and there was nothing sick to see except for his pale face. He was tall and tall, with ten slender fingers like shallots, but he could not see the curves because he was wrapped in a wide robe, his eyes were extremely deep, his expression was solemn, and he was bathed in holy light. The charm of a mature woman and the mystical temperament of religion are intertwined into an unusually unique charm in which no evil thoughts can arise in her presence except for a heart of pious admiration.
I then understood the source of Shloe's determination and perseverance.
When she came to me, I unconsciously fell to my knees with Li Binglan.
"Alexander, this sect has been a god to you for a long time, and your religious aesthetic ideas have benefited this sect a lot." A holy smile appeared on St. Befaia's face, but his voice, like the holy voice of a Sanskrit chant, entered my eardrums like a whisper in my ear.
I couldn't grasp the meaning of this for a moment - was it just a joke or something else? He raised his head to look at her, but the expression on her face had returned to a leisurely and indifferent tone, and she said in a solemn and solemn voice: "As the 387th Pope of the Cult of the Gods, St. Jeffia III, I honor Alexander St. Karen Dominis Meinster as the only legitimate lord of the Pharadis Empire, Alexander the Great, the King of the Winds!" Give the Christian name Alexander St. Bephaa, and the throne is the same as me! This is the will of the gods, the divine right of talent, the divine right of kings, and the proof of heaven and earth! β
I saw her gently put the silver staff on my head, and a warm white light like a mother's embrace enveloped me warmly.
Then, she placed the white gold crown made by the elves with the seven-colored pearl on top of my head.
But I suddenly raised my head, and at the moment when the coronation ceremony was about to be completed, I stretched out my hands and quickly snatched the crown from the Pope's hand, and quickly put it on my own head - I had completed the coronation myself!
But St. Befaia did not think of it, but smiled lightly and said, "The blessings of the gods are with you!" β
He retreated accompanied by the Thirteen Cardinal Sects.
I stood up, Ling Ran standing upright in the fierce wind, the crown above me and the throne behind me shining in the midday sun!
At this time, everyone fell to their knees in front of me and shouted: "Long live Alexander the Great!" β
My gaze swept across the distant sky, back to the vast imperial capital square...... And so, a gaze hotter than the sun swept over them - and at this point, I was convinced that I was at the top of the power of the Empire!
Suddenly, I noticed a figure in the crowd flashing into my sight, and my heart moved, and when I tried to take a closer look, the figure had disappeared into the crowd.

On October 25, 1894, on this crisp autumn day, Marshal Tsykov finally returned to the vicinity of the imperial capital, and 300,000 troops were stationed outside the city, and the atmosphere of the imperial capital was tense for a while!
I call the greatest political crisis of the emperor and queen one after another......
