Chapter 163: Coronation as King

(Thanks to "Yu Zun", "Obsession, Continue", "Liu Shuo 2015", "Tanggaolong", "Yo Yo Yo Yuanyue", "A little rookie!") "The 100 tip! Finally, someone joined the group, and the first one cried with joy...... )

In the King's Hall, an exquisite sarcophagus is placed in the very center, on which the runes of holy light are depicted, and the high-ranking priest Ethanlien and a dozen priests stand around the sarcophagus to pray, and the remains of His Majesty King Terenus are placed in it.

The king's funeral must be solemn, with Princess Kalia standing in front of the throne, Uther the Lightbringer standing beside her, and Count Lawrence on the other side. As special advisors to Her Royal Highness the Princess, Jiang Zai and Fenna stood at her head.

One after another, the leaders arrived, solemnly. No one is presumptuous on such an occasion, otherwise it will be a provocation to the whole of Lordaeron.

"His Majesty's Testament: Princess Kalia will succeed King Lordaeron, canonize Uther the Lightbringer, Grand Duke of Lordaeron, regent of Lordaeron, and Earl Lawrence as Marquis of the Kingdom." Ethan Lien announced his death, and several witnesses were called:

They were all guards, mages, priests, and handmaidens present before Terenus took his last breath, proving the validity of the appointment read by Ethanlien.

In fact, not at all.

This last bloodline is left of the Minethil family, and everyone must support her unless they commit treason.

As for Uther, the Lightbringer, he is, of course, the only candidate for regent. In the entire kingdom of Lordaeron, there is no one more qualified to take on the important task than him, and no one objects to this.

As for canonizing him as Grand Duke of Lordaeron......

This title is already equivalent to Bervar Vortagen's "Grand Duke of Stormwind", which is equivalent to the first person under Queen Kalia. At other times, no matter how high Uther's prestige was, it was impossible to be crowned a Grand Duke, especially the Grand Duke of Lordaeron, and the nobles would definitely oppose it with all their might.

But now it's different.

Not to mention that most of the great nobles have already run away, even if they haven't run away, who would dare to oppose King Terenus's will?

Earl Lawrence was one of the most powerful counts, and in the case of the great nobles fleeing with their families, there are few nobles in the entire Lordanren with a higher status than him, plus he is the earliest and staunchest supporter of Princess Kalia, and now he has been crowned, which is deserved.

The funeral took place amid mourning, with Speaker Antonidas and Admiral Dahrin delivering separate eulogies.

Unlike the other leaders, they were genuinely saddened, as they were already old friends of King Terenus, and it was natural that the two of them would not be in a good mood to see an old friend who had fought side by side pass away.

Antonidas, who was older than Terenus, lamented the early death of his old friend, and there were not many old people left in his time. As a legendary mage, he has a way to prolong his life, and if nothing else, he can live for decades or even hundreds of years, and this feeling of the old people around him leaving one by one is very bad.

Admiral Dai Lin, who is known as a "tough guy", has never shed tears in the more than ten years since the death of his eldest son, and today is the first time.

Subsequently, it was King Varian's turn to deliver the eulogy.

His identity is more special.

During the First World War, Stormwind was destroyed by the orcs, and Sir Lothar brought Varian, who was still a prince, to Lordaeron and lived there for a few years.

During that time, he got along well with Princess Kalia and Prince Arthas, who were a few years younger, and King Terenus took great care of him, almost treating him as another son.

It was Terenus who rallied the rest of humanity to unite to help Stormwind drive out the invaders and reclaim the territory, and it was Terenus who gave great support and assistance in the reconstruction of Stormwind and watched as Varian ascended to the throne like a loving father.

Lordaeron was Varian's second home, and Tyrenus raised him, giving him the shelter and warmth of his childhood, and teaching him how to become a great ruler.

Having lost his father at a young age, he once regarded his father's friend, Marshal Lothar, as his father-in-law, but after Lothar's death, he regarded Terenus as his father-in-law.

He could not have achieved what he has achieved today without the fatherly teachings of Terenus.

It is said that during the more than a month that Terenus was bedridden, the name he uttered the most in his daze, besides Arthas, was not Kalia, but Varian.

It is said that Terenus once said privately that although he loved his son very much, compared to the ill-fated Varian, Arthas was too immature, immature in mind, prone to extremes, and easily deceived by others.

This great warrior with superior skills is not yet an incomparably strong and powerful ghost wolf in the future. When facing the sarcophagus, tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't cry several times.

Finally, as an elder brother, he stood by Queen Kalia's side, and although he did not say a word, he had already made his position clear:

He will fully support Queen Kalia, and Stormwind is Lordaeron's strongest backing!

In the afternoon, when His Majesty's body was buried in the royal cemetery with the setting sun, Queen Kalia personally commissioned King Magni to send the best craftsmen of Ironforge to create a twenty-meter-high stone statue of King Terenus, which will stand in the middle of Lordaeron Square in a few months for his people to pay homage and remember.

Early on the morning of the third day, the King's Hall, the previous meeting that had not yet ended, continued, except that the participants were no longer ambassadors, but the supreme heads of state.

Because Kalia's identity is different, and because of the king's funeral, everyone must show enough respect for the deceased.

"On behalf of Lordaeron, I would like to thank you for coming. My father was a great king, and in his glory I was only an insignificant daughter. Now that my father is gone, I don't know how to hold up this country on the verge of collapse, but fortunately there are Uther the Lightbringer, and the Marquis Lawrence, as well as Fena, Gianna, Nicholas, and the Grand Knights of the Silver Hand, and all the nobles and people who are still willing to breathe and share the fate of this country! They are my strongest backing! ”

Queen Kalia's body, which was wearing a black dress earlier, has now been changed to a set of court costumes, which are tailor-made for her, elegant and dignified, and have all the style of a queen.

She wears a crown and holds a blue-glowing scepter in her right hand, which looks very similar to the "Valleus, Hammer of Lightbringer" that Uther used earlier, the scepter that King Terenus had left her, the Staff of Lordaeron's Imperial Power.

In the presence of many leaders of the Eastern Continent, Uther, the regent and messenger of light, personally crowned her king.

The people of the Minahir family, whether male or female, righteous or evil, have a kingly aura that does not bow their heads, does not admit defeat, and stands the most shining in the crowd, they are natural leaders, and so is Kalia.
