Chapter 34: Crowning King (II)
King Camelot.
Since the death of King Yusher, it has been deserted, and although countless people have wanted to live in it, no one has been able to get it. Today, the place was still as quiet as usual, without the slightest sound that made the empty hall seem lonely, the torches burned lifelessly with their own light, and the shaking images brought a touch of eerie feeling to this slightly dark place.
It was not yet dawn, and the sun obscured the view of others with clouds like a shy newly-married girl, and only half of the body peeking out from the horizon was shining brightly on people's cheeks with joy.
Time seemed extraordinarily long at this moment, and the wait was long, but no one showed impatience. It's been so long, do you still care about this time?
However, the long-overdue dawn finally arrived. A soft glow illuminates the vague building and spills over the empty palace hall, allowing the gloomy aura to fade and reveal its true face.
Under the cover of the fog, the sunlight forms a faint rising halo, which is particularly unreal.
The bell rang at seven o'clock, and the first lady walked into the north side. She was dressed in such ornate fashion that an official in a satin and velvet feather coat ushered her into her place. Another official, similar to him, carried her long skirt even further in the back. When the lady had sat down, folded the hem of her long skirt over her knees, put the pedals as she pleased, and then placed her top hat in a convenient place, and put it on with the nobles when they had arrived.
At this time, the knights in grand dresses and the ladies in golden light walked in in a steady stream, and the officials in satin clothes kept shuttling through the crowd, arranging the nobles to sit, and of course they had to make the nobles sit comfortably.
It didn't take long for all the nobles to arrive, and the hall immediately fell silent. After all, today is different from the past, no matter how bold they are, they don't dare to make noise at this time.
After a while, after the nobles, the archbishop, dressed in a vestment and wearing a crown, and his retinue rushed in, ascending to the high platform where the innermost throne was located, followed by an ironclad army.
After waiting for a while, a horn suddenly sounded in the main hall, and it was a song representing victory.
Artoria appeared in the doorway in a gorgeous dress. The moment Artoria appeared, everyone present stood up and waited
Slowly walked towards the place where the archbishop stood, holding the sword in the stone in his hand, his expression was serious and serious, with a majestic aura, and the sense of oppression in his eyes made people dare not despise her because of her petite size.
After coming to the position of the archbishop, he placed the sword in the stone in his hand in his hand. After the archbishop had taken the sword, he placed it on the altar that had been prepared, and then took the Bible and went to Artoria's side, praying in the old voice.
After the prayer, he took the sword in the stone and placed it on Artoria's shoulder. He said, "In the name of God, I give you the title of King of Britain." He then returned the sword in the stone to Artoria's hand and said, "God will bless you, and you will win the battle." β
Then a song of sublime praise sounded, followed by a wave of blessings. Artoria was led to the throne with singing and blessings. When the ancient ceremony is carried out, the solemn sight is very impressive.
Everyone watched intently, and the ritual was getting closer and closer to the end, only to be the last one.
The archbishop took the crown of the King of Britain off a mat and placed it solemnly on Artoria's head.
Artoria then turned around and shouted at the nobles who were watching her and the crowd who could not come in to watch the coronation.
"I swear in the name of King Arthur that I will lead my subjects to the pinnacle of what I have never seen before, that I will never again be humiliated by anyone, that I will never again be afraid, that my name of Britain will be resounding throughout the world!!!!"
As Artoria finished speaking, the trumpets of the entire palace rang out, spreading the news of the new king's coronation throughout the city of Camelot. And the crowd outside also seemed to hear Artoria's oath, and for a moment the cheers resounded in the sky, as if they were about to overturn the whole Camelot.
When the new king, who had been waiting for so long, finally appeared, they seemed to see hope, and they saw that beautiful and happy life, how could they not be happy?
After the coronation, Artoria sat on the throne and was presented and worshipped by the knights. and the allegiance of the knights.
"King, as promised in yesterday's battle, I am willing to swear allegiance to you. Then Ranmarok stepped forward, got down on one knee, and said to Artoria.
"Well, well, you've kept your promise, and I'll accept your allegiance. Artoria said with a smile. She was delighted to be able to subdue a Knights of the Round Table so quickly.
"I would like to be a sword in your hand and slay all obstacles for you. Ranmaroke continued when he heard Artoria's words.
"Well, let's fight together for the rise of Britain. β
"Thank you for your trust. With that, Ranmaroch stepped back.
After Ranmaroch took the oath of allegiance, a number of knights came out one after another to pledge their allegiance. For these knights who came to participate in the knightly competition, Artoria certainly did not hesitate to stay, although it may be uneven, but for today's Britain, this is a valuable asset.
And to say that the strength of some of them is weak, this is still relatively speaking, although it may be very weak for Artoria, but it is quite a strong existence for ordinary people. How could such a person be let go?, and Artoria was ready to use them to form an elite unit, the Knights of the Round Table.
"Brother, are you going up?" asked one of the two similar-looking knights standing next to each other in a corner.
"It's not certain that she can really redeem the country, so let's wait a while. Let's hurry back quickly, I don't know what kind of attitude my father will have. The other knight sighed for a moment.
"Yes, Father's attitude. β
At this moment an official came up and saluted Artoria and said, "O king, are you going to march outside? The people are still gathered outside the palace, and if you do not want to go, I will go and let them go." β
Hearing the official's words, Artoria agreed without hesitation. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, she still understands. If she doesn't go, it will be too chilling.
