Chapter 529: Coronation as King
The three or two kittens of the Camelot Kingdom are not easy for Arthur to catch.
He was dressed in a king's garment, but he did not have a crown on his head.
All the inhabitants of the castle came to the center of the city to watch the ceremony, and for them, who were a little lacking in entertainment on weekdays, it was a great event worth bragging about for a lifetime to give the king a ceremony.
A heraldic flag fluttered all around, and Arthur's Red Dragon Guards guarded the perimeter of the square to maintain order.
There was a commotion in the field, and some surrounding nobles and kingdom watchers also came here, especially the compatriots of the Camelot Kingdom, the top power of the continent, the Astra Kingdom, who also sent envoys here.
In fact, the dukes of the other states of the Kingdom of Astra need the king of the Kingdom of Astra to be crowned, but the Kingdom of Camelot is only a brother of the Kingdom of Astra.
Legally, the two sides are equal, although this is impossible in terms of strength.
For example, the king of the kingdom of Astra was crowned, and the king of Carmellot was bound to be present in person, but at this time Arthur was crowned, the kingdom of Astra only sent an envoy.
Norwin was accompanied by a knight of the Holy Lancer of the Knights of the Iron Cross, who was the co-captain of the Knights of the Iron Cross who came here, and was also an honorary baron, although he had no territory, but he had the title and credentials of a baron.
"When are we going back, my lord?"
The knight of the holy spear asked his immediate boss at his side, Noven, who had been here for more than two months, desperate to return to the territory and make up for the losses he had suffered from the battle.
And he also wants to return to his home in the territory as soon as possible, where he is not used to living.
Norwin also had a homesick expression on his face when he heard the knight's inquiry, and he said, "Soon, when Arthur's coronation is over, we can go back, and the rest will be entrusted to the Earl." ”
The Knight of the Holy Lancer received an answer, and did not continue to ask, nodding his head, and looking towards the field.
At this time, the trumpeters standing in two rows on both sides of the red carpet suddenly raised the huge brass trumpet with the royal flag in their hands, and then puffed out their chests and blew it vigorously.
I saw Arthur wearing a luxurious king's robe, followed by a full forty dragon prince cavalry wearing heroic armor, surrounded by them, King Arthur walked across the red carpet and walked to the high platform with elegant and majestic demeanor.
The person in charge of crowning Arthur today is Merlin, the protector of the Carmellot Kingdom, don't look at him as the protector mage in name, but his identity is also the regional bishop of the Church in the Carmellot Kingdom.
Although the Church is powerful, it does not particularly care about such a small country in the north, and every Protector serves as a bishop, which can be regarded as a privilege given by the Church.
Arthur's appearance detonated the already eager scene, and the residents watched Arthur's extraordinary demeanor scream, whistling and shouting long live the king, or kneeling on the ground to show their loyalty to Arthur.
The previous autumn of Arthur's army in Rucheng, coupled with the title of Arthur's hero king and his benevolent reputation, made him win the support of the people.
This is completely different from the period when the Duke of Valar was notified, and the residents at that time saw that although the Duke of Valar did not dare to say it, they had already scolded the Duke of Valar in their hearts.
How can he be so loved by the people like Arthur now, if he can see such a scene, I am afraid that his waist will be angry to death.
Arthur slowly walked up to the high platform, and he was followed by two dismounted dragon prince cavalrymen, and slowly walked in front of Merlin.
Arthur and Merlin looked at each other, then slowly got down on one knee and bowed his head to Merlin.
Merlin said, "Are you willing to be treated like a king and at the same time have the duties of a king?" Protect your people from harm, maintain the proper rule of your vassals, offer your allegiance to the Father, and ensure the continuity of your family? ”
Arthur said firmly: "I do! I will guarantee the continuation of my vassal family, that the kingdom of Carmellot will not be lost, that my people will live and work in peace under my rule, that the monasteries and clergy of the kingdom of Carmellot will serve the Holy Father with peace of mind, and that the property and rights of all people will not be violated by foreign enemies and from the king! ”
Merlin took the holy text from the hand of a clergyman next to him and said to Arthur, "Remember it, it is the benchmark of all laws!" ”
Immediately afterwards, he took a richly decorated and magnificent sword from the hand of another clergyman and said: "Master it, it is another source of your power, let your army keep loving you!" ”
Finally, Merlin took the olive branch from the hand of one of the clergy behind him, dipped it in water, and shook it a few times on Arthur's body, taking the magnificent crown of pure gold and inlaid with various precious stones.
He said to Arthur, "Remember it, it is the proof of your king, it represents your people, and your people love you, then your position will be impregnable!" ”
Merlin then said in a loud voice, "The purpose of the crown is not only for others to look up at him, but also for his subjects to look up and see the light of hope in the darkness!" ”
"Arthur, are you willing to take the place of your father, like him, and revive the power of the Carmellot Kingdom at a time when it is in ruins!"
Arthur's voice was almost a roar at this time, and he shouted, "I do! I'm willing to take all the responsibility! I'm willing to get the Kingdom of Carmellot back on track! ”
Merlin nodded with satisfaction, put the crown on Arthur's head, and said loudly: "Jin is awarded to Prince Arthur in the name of the Holy Father, the Holy Son, the Holy King Gilles, the previous kings of the Camelot Kingdom, and the first King Uther. King of the Kingdom of Pendragencarmellot, may the Holy Father bless everything! ”
After saying this, the coronation ceremony for Arthur was officially completed, and from this moment on, he was no longer an ordinary prince, but a king who was responsible for the hundreds of thousands of people of the Camelot Kingdom and more than a dozen nobles! ”
The fate of hundreds of thousands of people rested on the young king's thoughts.
Although it is not as heavenly as the emperors of the Celestial Empire, it is also the greatest authority and symbol of a country.
Immediately afterwards, the nobles declared their allegiance to Arthur, and one by one they knelt in front of Arthur and handed over their shields, declaring their eternal loyalty to the Kingdom of Carmellot and Arthur.
Then Arthur struck them on the shoulder with the usual symbolism of kingship that Merlin had just given, and said the words of canonization of nobles.
After the canonization, there was a military parade, and Arthur's knights and dragon prince cavalry, infantry and red dragon guards all practiced in front of the people.
This fully achieved the role of declaring force, and left a deep impression on the hearts of the people and the nobility. 2k reading web
