Chapter 143: The Prince's Ceremony
The Titan Imperial Capital, regarded as a pyramidal imperial city built with huge mountains and rivers, at this time, the lights were colorful, the roar of salutes was heard in the sky from time to time, and one after another flew through the sky, and people also put down their work and walked out of the houses, standing on the side of the widest street in the empire and waiting.
Just after twelve o'clock in the afternoon, a cannon salute roared over the city, and streamers fluttered in the sky, falling like snowflakes. A group of Imperial knights appeared on the Imperial Avenue on the Mighty Wind Beasts and spears. Then a series of black and expensive hovercars slowly drove behind, and on either side of the car stood Imperial guards in gowns.
Immediately after, amid the cheers of the people, a carriage carved with silver crystals slowly passed by, and Her Royal Highness the princess inside was not wearing the princess dress that she used to wear, but wearing a white military uniform, and sat in it decently.
Her eyes were obscured by a large round-headed cap, and her expression was not as amiable and warm as before, but just cold and serious.
Such a cold princess not only made the people of the empire feel kind, but shouted blessings loudly. Maybe in their hearts, the princess is kind, and she will still be kind after becoming the prince of the empire, they don't know that the princess has changed, and she is no longer innocent and kind, but more rational and cold.
"Princess, you shouldn't have such a stiff expression, these people love you and look forward to your rule!" Lacey said. Lacey was the princess's maid, and she had grown up watching the princess, and she could clearly feel that the princess had lost her former closeness when she returned, which made her faintly worried.
"Got it." Her Royal Highness replied, and then the corners of her mouth hooked, and a perfect smile appeared on her face, and then she raised her head, her eyes narrowed and waved at the people outside the car, looking very friendly.
"Long live Princess Claire!"
"Princess Claire smiled, what a sweet smile!"
"Your Royal Highness, we love you!"
It is conceivable that the people fell into a boiling mood of excitement because of the smile of the princess they loved, and they could not imagine that the perfect smile of the princess could only be sent and received freely after practicing in front of the mirror for a full day.
Seeing that the response was very good, Her Royal Highness the princess began to smile continuously, waving her hand on the left and waving her hand on the right to make the people even more enthusiastic.
The whole journey took an hour before the princess arrived at the gate of the imperial palace, when a guard opened the door, and Her Royal Highness got out of the car in a white military uniform, with a silver medal and a gold ribbon, which set off her figure a lot.
Princess Claire rarely wore military dresses in the past, because she was a princess of the empire, and she wore more prosperous and beautiful skirts to participate in various activities. Her long blonde hair stretched out from under her military hat and down to her waist, fitting perfectly with her white uniform.
After she stepped out of the car, the members of the Imperial Diet and the nobles from all over the country stood inside the palace gate and cheered and applauded. She bowed her head slightly, showed a confident smile, and walked towards the palace gate under the guidance of the escort.
On the way to the main hall, Princess Claire raised her head slightly to look at the majestic hall, she knew that once she entered it, she would never be free again, because when you have something, it also means that you have lost something.
The long road was full of people, and the captain of the guard at the front always shouted every few moments: "Salute!" Then the people in the neighborhood would bow down ninety degrees.
Looking at the many old people who were already gray-haired and trembling when they stood and saluted him, Her Royal Highness suddenly felt a little absurd in her heart.
walked in front of the main hall, among the top ten marshals, Lei Ting was dressed in a straight marshal uniform, looked at her with a solemn expression, and finally shouted: "Welcome Your Highness!" ”
"Greetings to Your Highness!" The people in the main hall saluted the princess, but only the old emperor and his ceremonial secretary who sat on the top did not move.
"Please take it off!" Thunder said with expressionless hands and white-gloved hands.
Her Royal Highness took the sword from her waist and gently placed it on Thunder's hand. Thunder immediately retreated to the side with his sword, and at this time, the ceremonial department shouted loudly: "The prince ceremony begins!" ”
Marshal Huo Hening raised his hand and shouted: "Salute, fire!" ”
Bang bang, swishing sound sounded, and brilliant beams of light in the sky were like fireworks, these beams of light were not lethal, they were completely knockoffs used as fireworks.
Her Royal Highness the Princess walked into the main hall, then knelt before His Majesty the Emperor and began to listen to the eulogy read by the ceremonial secretary (official name), listening to the many great deeds of the empire and the glorious achievements of the current emperor. The eulogy was so long that Her Royal Highness knelt for more than an hour before the ceremonial secretary finished reading the final prayer!
The Titans also have a state religion, but the status of the state religion is not high, because there are many places where human beings need spiritual comfort, psychology is suppressed, and they can only comfort people through religious beliefs. Of course, religion cannot completely interfere in government affairs, and the religion of the Titan Empire is also extremely strict in regulation to avoid major scandals and corruption.
In fact, to be honest, the previous emperors of the Titan did not have a good impression of religious beliefs, so the state religion did not have much influence in the high-rise buildings of the Titans, and only read the prayers or something during some large ceremonies, as a process.
"Last item, please preside over the coronation of the prince!" The ceremonial department was finally completed, and after the announcement, he waved his hand and signaled the attendant to step forward with a crown of princes, and there was a waiter holding the prince's seal behind him.
The old emperor stood up, took off the princess's military hat, slowly picked up the laurel wreath, and put it on the princess's head very solemnly, it did not have the feeling of a gear collar in Western culture, but it must be a luxurious hat, marked with the royal coat of arms, inlaid with gems.
Then, the old emperor raised the prince's seal and handed it to the princess and said: "It will be yours in the future, protect it well!" After speaking, the old emperor sat back on the throne with some breath, and then waved his hand to signal the ceremonial department to end the ceremony.
The ceremonial department immediately cooperated and shouted: "Read out the will of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
All bowed down and listened to the will. The ceremonial secretary coughed and read: "I Emperor Ketrill XIII has announced that Princess Hantianwei Claire Nicholas has cancelled the title of 'Eldest Princess' and changed her name to 'His Royal Highness Prince Claire' to show the prestige of the Imperial Prince!" ”
At this time, the old emperor cooperated and said, "Claire, come up and sit beside me!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Only then did Princess Claire stand up, put the seal in the tray of the attendants beside her, and walked to the crown prince next to the old emperor and sat down.
All the ministers immediately saluted and shouted, "See His Royal Highness Prince Claire!" ”
Princess Claire raised her hand slightly and said, "Excuse me!" "Then there was a singing and dancing event, and the prince's ceremony was higher than the paragraph.
Lei Luo has been in the black prison for almost a month, except for Thunder who has seen him, no one has come to look for him, and he is also a little worried after a long time. Fortunately, when I watched TV every day, there was no major event related to the Lei family on the video, and there was only one if there was one, that is, Princess Claire's prince's ceremony.
Lei Luo remembered Princess Claire's charming face and superb temperament on the TV screen, especially her white military dress was even more beautiful than what she had seen on the battleship, and she believed that it was specially customized.
Also, that is, this princess no longer seems to be smiling all the time, does everyone in power have to put on a majestic posture to command moving? Lei Luo was a little skeptical that Her Royal Highness the princess was pretending, but if he hadn't pretended, he would really have to like it.
Because compared with the kind of woman who talks and wants to rely on men at every turn, he admires strong women more in his bones. Lei Luo's bones also belong to Gao Leng, for people he doesn't like to greet him with a warm face, although he doesn't slap people's faces, but he also dislikes the other party's entanglement, relatively speaking, on the platform of high IQ, he prefers to talk to people with high IQ.
Because everyone is not tired of saying anything and doing anything, almost a little bit of it. It's hard to imagine that when you say to someone that you have a gas stove on fire in your home, the first type of woman might be to cover your mouth and exclaim, "Really, are you telling the truth?" ”
And the second type of woman will often say: "Turn off the gas valve first, at least you live to prove that the gas stove didn't explode!" ”
You're trying to confront a: "Really, ah, I don't know!" Or is she a woman who is as wise as you are? Of course, turnip greens have their own loves, at least if you look at the personality characteristics of women in mainstream novels, you can see that most men still like the delicate kind.
Maybe it's people who have lived a poor life, Lei Luo prefers the latter, probably in his concept, marriage should be influenced by respect for each other.
But it doesn't matter who is the emperor, the important thing is that my brother has to go out, is it possible that my brother really wants to stay here for the rest of his life? Brother is not an autistic person, but he is not good at this.
If outsiders can't save themselves, then they can only prepare themselves to think of escape strategies. In fact, Lei Luo did have this thought, after the last rampage, Lei Luo was pleasantly surprised to find that the internal qi in his body had become more active, not only that, but they could also be obedient.
At least we're not Duan Yu anymore! This is the most gratifying thing for Lei Luo, he doesn't know how many changes have occurred in his body, at least these damn internal qi are obedient, then he won't be so embarrassed.
The same is true, he definitely uses his current ability as a "master of the house", once he escapes from this cell, then it is not that he has no chance to leave here. Of course, there is often only one chance to leave, and this time you must not fail, otherwise it will be difficult to think about the next time!
Just when Lei Luo was planning to escape, a big man had already arrived in the black prison, and Lei Luo's fate officially began to enter the long history of the empire, shaping a generation of legends.
The next chapter, the next part of the second volume, begins.
