Chapter 776: Canonization Ceremony (4)

If the joint meeting goes well, I am afraid that the next step will be to attack him in the name of defending the country and defending the country. For example, in the name of revenge for the Singh family, he requisitioned the garrison fleet of the Floren star system and the Chuckner star system under Tripathi to weaken his military power.

Interestingly and surprisingly, Zangowell failed, the joint council was interrupted for some reason, and the follow-up plan ended without a hitch, allowing Tripathy to escape.

As it turned out, His Majesty had borrowed the wrong sword, and although Tripati was abolished, it also attracted the hostility of the Tang side.

As a result, the alliance between Zangowell and Tang Fang + Henrietta began a political and military game that affected the whole country.

Tripathi has a big enmity with the Tang side, and the "Morning Star Casting" belongs to the strong side, and the correct approach should be to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and completely eliminate the living force of the Singer family in the three star systems of "Georgia", "Floren", and "Chuckner".

Tripati also has a great enmity with Zanggowell, and similarly, the new faction is also on the stronger side and should be eliminated as soon as possible.

To put it bluntly, he can't afford to provoke either of these two forces, and he has a big enmity with either one.

But now the two major forces are twisted together like twisted flowers, wrestling and fighting with each other, he can only close the door, shrink his hands and feet, and get into the kang head to pretend to be a stuffy gourd.

Of course, this is just their speculation, and no one knows what Tripathi is doing at home, but there have been some gossip recently that he seems to be dormant and actually has other plans.

Whether he is thinking of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, or the calculation of the snipe and the clam competing for the profit of the fisherman, in short, there are countless swift undercurrents under the magnificent waters of the United Kingdom of Turachs recently. A huge vortex is brewing that is enough to swallow everything.

After Hymn Will and Elizabeth took their seats, the four heavily armed knights and four black knights in St. George's power armor stepped onto the stone bridge and walked towards the central plaza.

The square is not large, only a few thousand square meters to the left and right, and near the edge are two semi-circular walls composed of many tall white marble columns, standing on the east and west sides. The middle passage is facing six stone bridges from north to south.

At the heart of the square is a huge golden stone sculpture of a half-reclining lion looking slightly in the direction of the rise of the three Kehanos brothers.

The style of stone carving is a bit rough, not detailed, and there are no complicated flower decorations and textures, but it is this wild and uninhibited that makes it more vivid, revealing a majestic momentum that is majestic and majestic and looks at the sky.

It is semi-recumbent though. but the eyes are open; Although it looks at the morning light, its heart is vast.

Like the throne in the Council Chamber, which was covered with swords and gems, the Golden Lion King was also the founding monarch of the United Kingdom of Turranks. Cast by Olipod.

Even after a hundred years of wind and rain and erosion, it is still brilliant and majestic.

Under the stone carving is a two-story platform, which is trapezoidal as a whole. There are smooth and wide stone steps from north to south, leading to 6 stone bridges.

Four black warriors dressed in St. George's class power armor walked to the four corners of the platform and stood still. It seems to turn into a statue, quietly looking at the guests from all directions.

This is a ceremony, and it is also a prestige, and it is also a guardian.

The silver-white St. George-class power armor reflected the light of the three brothers, and exploded into brilliant brilliance. The breeze blew against the armor, spreading ripples of light. The eyes as cold and deep as obsidian emitted a chill. People can't help but be afraid.

Tang Fang swept over the black warrior in the southeast corner, and then looked at the black warrior in the southwest corner, frowning slightly.

Although it only disappeared in an instant, the faint killing intent still allowed him to capture it keenly.

The remaining 4 heavily armed knights stepped up to the second floor, lined up to the left and right of the lion sculpture. Quietly waiting.

The discussion at the scene gradually subsided, and the music stopped.

The drone in charge of recording the scene flew up and down, transmitted the scene around the square to the information department of the information control center, edited and retouched, and then announced it in the official media, presenting Elena to the entire United Kingdom of Turanks.

For Zangowill, although the canonization ceremony was forced to be a compromise act, it also had some positive effects, such as Elena would swear allegiance to him under the symbol of royal power, and if the Tang side did anything disrespectful to the royal family in the future, it would be a rebellion to break the oath.

Swift, the Minister of Ceremonies, walked up to the second floor, facing the direction of Ibrahimovic, and gave a speech before the canonization.

There were some flattering words without nutrition left and right, Tang Fang listened dizzily for a few minutes, and as the ritual music played again, two people walked slowly in the direction of the main hall of the Ibu Palace.

Elena was in front, wearing a noble cloak that symbolized her status, and a knight's medal hanging from her chest, and walked step by step to the central square.

Kylinia landed behind her, slowly taking each step as the hem of her cloak moved.

A few minutes later, the two stopped, and Kelenia retreated to the side of the red carpet, standing close to Henrietta and Gilcott and others.

Elena stands alone in front of the red carpet, allowing the drones flying up and down to take pictures from all angles.

After this, Henrietta stood up, crossed the stone bridge in the middle, and ascended the steps, finally stopping at the stone platform in front of the four heavily armed knights, and saluted the golden lion for a minute.

The coat of arms of the Olibald family also features a semi-recumbent lion, woven of gold thread or gold powder, similar to the stone carving of the golden lion in front of him...... In fact, they are an extension of it.

Like that throne of the sword, the crown of His Majesty the King's head, it is a symbol of the kingship of this country.

Then, he turned around and looked down at the crowd from a high vantage point.

Swift, the presiding minister, and Archbishop Norwood, holding ritual vessels and relics, passed through the two bridges on the left and right, and walked behind Zangowell to stand.

Elena continued on her way, walking the red carpet onto the bridge in the center.

The flowers were fragrant, the sun was abundant, and the red robe swayed gently, flowing fat on her feet, kissing the bright blanket one by one.

Her expression was calm, calm throughout. There is no excitement to be seen, no tension to be seen, only tranquility and cleanliness after the wind and rain have stopped.

Viewed from the side, she is holy, like an ethereal goddess walking out of the clouds, not happy by things. is not sad for himself, with a cold temperament and a dusty posture, Xu Bu walked onto the high platform.

The lion was proud, golden and noble, but at this moment, it seemed to be getting smaller and smaller in front of her. Creeping in front of unhurried footsteps.

It's not that she surrenders to it, but she surrenders to it, with that holiness, with that nobility, with that coldness.

ZangoWill frowned, a trace of crampedness and uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and for some reason, Elena in front of him suddenly gave him a pressure that was difficult to describe in words, and she at the dinner party. Two different people entirely.

It wasn't until she walked up to the first floor of the platform, getting closer and closer to the peak, that she saw that figure Ling Ran was independent, saw the flowers on the road, the red carpet was like fire, and saw the Eevee Palace being packed into the hourglass of the late autumn years, he understood......

Elena is not a goddess, she is everything in front of her. Grant her holiness; It is everything in front of her that gives her nobility; It's everything in front of you. Gives her coolness.

Put her in the beautifully decorated corridor, and she is a painting with an aura.

Put her in a desolate and arid sandbank, and she will be a clear spring.

Put him in the sky after the rain, and she is a rainbow of seven colors.

She is versatile, changing different colors in different environments. Draped in different silk yarns.

Praise Will remembered a man - the shining jewel of the Hillenbuir region, Charlotte? Quinn.

Of course, although Charlotte and Elena are both changeable, the former changes themselves, and the latter changes due to the environment.

Time goes on. Elena's footsteps continued upward, crossing the low stairs to the second floor, where she walked between the four heavily armored knights to Zangowell.

Many eyes converged on her from below, and she swept her gaze over the guest, pausing slightly on Tang Fang's face, her beautiful eyes giving birth to some color, and then turned her head to look at Swift, the minister of applause to the left of Zangowill.

The ritual music stopped, the discussion was silenced, and even the wind that leaked through the corner tower and the battlements was discouraged, and only the quiet sun shone on the four people at the feet of the golden lion.

Swift stepped forward: "Are you willing to make a solemn pledge to rule over the people of the Aradel and Josena systems, to govern their lands, and to respect their beliefs and customs in your rule?" ”

Elena raised her right hand: "I would like to solemnly promise." ”

Swift continued, "Are you willing to do what you can to maintain the fairness and justice of your territory with a merciful heart?" ”

"I do."

Swift took a step back, and Norwood stepped forward: "Are you willing to devote your life to maintaining God's law and following the true teachings of the Gospels?" Are you willing to maintain and protect the sacrosanct state religion and its doctrine, worship, principles and rule? Are you willing to protect the powers and privileges of the bishops, clergy, and their abbots' churches? ”

Elena paused and said, "I promise to comply with all the above requirements, I will keep and fulfill my promise, may God bless me." ”

Norwood stepped back.

Her voice was not loud, but it clearly entered the ears of everyone present.

The room became quieter, and many people moved their eyes to Zangowell's face.

Everyone knew that the previous questions were just foils, and that His Majesty's questions and answers with Elena were the key to her gaining the right to rule the Duchy of Kernar.

He asked, and she replied.

He would then draw the sword of the king at his waist, pat her on the shoulder, and grant her a crown of gold leaves, diamond-embellished branches, and strawberry leaves, recognizing her status as heir to the Duchy of Kernar.

Finally, Henrietta would apply holy water to her forehead, heart, and palm.

Guests would stand up, applaud, and chant von? The name of Olipath, chanting the praises of Gowell? The name of Olipod, chanting Henrietta? The name of Olipod.

Since then, Elena is no longer the little girl of the Charles Federation, but the Duchess who holds 2 star systems.

"Are you willing to carry on the legacy of the Duke of Dennar, to assist me, to support me, to respect me? Are you willing to lead your subjects to serve the country and defend against foreign humiliation when the country is violated? Are you willing to maintain and protect the power and privileges of House Olipod, and to crush the enemies of the royal family with your sword when someone provokes it? ”

She raised her eyes and swept the sky, then the golden lion, and finally landed on the face of Zangowell, and replied in a still calm, but powerful voice: "I am willing to carry on my father's legacy and stand up when the people and the country are violated." I am willing to maintain, protect, but not limited to, the rights and interests of the Oliver family. ”

Many had strange expressions on their faces, because her answer was different from the answers of the previous dukes' heirs, and there were some minor questions...... No, not a small problem, it's a big one.

Zangowell's questioning was to establish the status of the Auripotes, to establish the absolute rule of the king, and to establish her submission to the king, not to the state and the people...... No, according to her, the people come first, and the country comes last.

Although the 'state and the people' and 'the people and the state' are only minor differences, their connotations are very different.

It is not the individual who obeys the collective, it is not the sacrifice of the small self to achieve the big self, it is the great self without the small self, and the family and country without the people.

She doesn't even mention "you"β€”the proper title for Zangowell, and even the Olybals speak of rights, not power and privilege.

The "but not limited to" in that sentence shows that the Olybal family is not unique in her mind, let alone the only sacred.

In other words, it's simply not the answer.

She just said what was in her heart, or it could be a tactful rejection of those questions, or an objection.

If it were to be said more seriously, she was rebelling against Zangowell and against the Olybal family.

This is not an oath, it is a declaration of war against the king's power.

Many people are dumbfounded, and people who don't have very smart brains have never been able to think of a reason, and they are confused by Zangowill's question and Elena's answer.

Some celebrities who have nothing to do with politics and are obsessed with other social fields think that they have heard it wrong, or that the girl is too nervous, so they say something that makes people scratch their heads.

Of course, in this world, there are always smart people in the majority, there are very few stupid people, and there are only a handful of fools.

So the vast majority of people looked at the low table of the central square with shock, stunned, panicked, dazed and other emotions, looking at the man with monstrous authority and the holy girl.

What did she say? What did she say! ”

"Oh, God, wouldn't it be tantamount to insulting His Majesty in public when she said that...... She...... Wouldn't she want to be the master of the Duchy of Kernar? How could she be so stupid! ”

"At a young age, the ability to deal with things is not strong, and the ability to cause trouble is superb, this is simply digging a self-grave."

"You're all wrong, why did she dare to say that? Why did she say that? Because there is a man here, and his surname is Tang. ”

Many people set their eyes on the foreign guest area and fell on the man whose face did not change and remained the same. (To be continued.) )

PS: I like her more and more, what should I do? What to do?
