Chapter 568: The Coronation Is Over, The Military Parade Begins (Part I)

William and Wella looked very luxurious and temperamental, but they did not wear a crown on their heads.

Both crowns are at the Pope's side, and after the official coronation, the crown, which represents the legitimate royal power of the Kingdom of Tskema, will go to William.

The two walked hand in hand on the lavishly decorated red carpet, flanked by knights of the Inner House wearing three layers of iron armor and one plate cuirass.

They looked quite formidable, with swords in their hands, and they were lined up on both sides of the red carpet to protect William and Wella.

They were very honored to be the knights of the Inner Palace, who numbered only a hundred, and they were treated in a way that no other ordinary Iron Cross knights did not have, that is, to protect William at this moment.

The knights below couldn't help but cheer when they looked at William who was slowly advancing, and many knights even burst into tears at this time.

They were once nothing more than heavy cavalry trained by the civilian class, and it was William who formed this order and gave them knighthood.

There are also many older knights, who have been working with William almost until now, and watching William ascend the throne, they also have a feeling that their efforts have finally paid off.

At this time, Norwen and Urimu were also sitting in the auditorium in gorgeous clothes, and in front of the auditorium were some national missions and nobles, as well as the nobles under William.

A little further back, the knights of the Iron Cross Knights, and then William invited veterans of the northern and southern wars with him to come and watch the ceremony.

And the rest of the places have become merchants and squires, as well as wealthy commoners.

The two of them looked at William with emotion at this time, thinking that at the beginning, they were just a knight who had become a bandit, a Creza who had fled and was captured, and the other was the second son of the so-called baron.

And now, after eighteen years of hard work, they have finally established a world here, and they have created a kingdom of their own, which is a reward for all the sacrifices they have made.

And those disabled veterans and veterans who are still serving in the army are also looking at this scene with tears in their eyes.

For William's hegemony, they lost their hands and feet on the battlefield, or their facial features, or even half of their bodies were missing.

In the end, they were lucky, at least they survived, and so many comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with them were buried on the battlefield forever.

They silently recited the names of those who had died, telling them in their hearts that their sacrifice had not been in vain, and that not only their families had a good life, but their children also had a very good way out.

William's trumpeters played solemn tunes incessantly, and the court orchestra he formed and rehearsed for a long time also played a solemn and majestic tune with the trumpeters.

The gold-trimmed Iron Cross was scattered throughout the castle and around the arena, and the wind blew from above.

William walked slowly forward amid the music and the desperate cheers of everyone, so many years of rule had made the inhabitants of Denlenburg and Isamdenburg almost unanimously accept William, and William's founding of the country was also a very worthy celebration in their eyes.

William and Wella slowly walked up to the high platform and walked in front of Pope Ubal II.

It was only at this time that William took a closer look at his appearance, his aging skin had a sense of compassion on it, and although his facial features did not look decent, they had a sense of kindness when put together, which would make people inexplicably think of his kind old grandfather.

However, William knew that nothing that this pope had done could be called benevolent, after all, he was the head of a sect, and if he was deceived by his appearance, he probably didn't know how to die.

William walked up to him, then got down on one knee, took his right hand, which was as old as the bark of a tree, and kissed it gently.

Then he said: "Your Majesty, Your Father's Spokesman, may you always be young, and may my Lord be sheltered by you!" ”

"Thank you!" The Pope withdrew his hand and said to William with a kind face: "Then, get ready, your coronation ceremony has begun!" ”

The Pope had a good impression of him, although William did not make any promises about tithes, but even if he did not pay tithes, he would be satisfied that the kingdom of Tskma, which was extremely resistant to the Church, would become a supporter of the Church.

What's more, William was so powerful at the beginning, and after ruling the Kingdom of Tskema, he will definitely become even stronger.

Maybe he will be a great help to the kingdom of Astra when the time comes.

William said firmly: "Ready! ”

The Pope, on the other hand, slowly got up from his chair, and Archbishop Bailinsin, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly supported the Pope.

And Archbishop Bailinsin quietly showed a kind smile to William, and the two sides got along quite well when they were in the holy war before.

And after Qilian returned to the territory, he often kept letters and pity with him, and William was about to be crowned king at this time, so his attitude was even better.

The Pope pressed his hand downwards to signal that the coronation was about to begin.

As soon as the inhabitants saw that William was about to be crowned, they immediately stopped all noise, as did the nobles and knights.

There were more than 40,000 spectators in the stadium at this time, but there was an eerie silence.

Looking at William who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, Ubal II dipped some branches and leaves in holy water and sprinkled them on William's body to pray for him.

Then he took out a shield, stood at his feet, and asked William, "Will you take this shield and protect your subjects from invasion, and protect your vassals from foreign enemies?" When someone invades your kingdom and your subjects, stand up and fight off the enemy and protect them? ”

William said: "In the name of the blessing of the Holy Father, I am willing!" ”

Uban II took the shield, handed it to William, and said, "Remember your promise today!" ”

He then took up a magnificent sword and scepter encrusted with magnificent gems and said, "Will you be able to rule your kingdom wisely, that your kingdom will always have the strength to defeat any enemy, that you will be able to expand your territory when your subjects and vassals need it, and that you will use your power over your subjects carefully so that they will not die unjustly?" Can you guarantee that you are enforcing the law fairly? ”

William said, "I promise! ”

Finally, Pope Uben II took the crown from the tray on the side, put it in his hand and asked William: "Will you be able to guarantee the integrity of the land and the faith of the Holy Father in this land?" Is there a willingness to guarantee the inviolability of the Church's property, forever as the rightful ruler and guardian of this kingdom? ”

William said firmly: "I promise, I do!" ”
