Chapter 3 Ceremony (3rd Shift Monthly Pass)
Aalto, the city of chants, La Tasha Palace.
After listening to the news conveyed by the new Cardinal Filibel of the Diocese of Vaorit, Natasha could not hide her sadness: "I didn't expect that my grandfather and uncle would be called by the Lord one after another. ”
Although she knew that King Fertis was old and frail, Prince Patrick was frail and sickly, and Natasha was ready to hear the bad news in recent years, but this kind of thing, no matter how mentally prepared, she couldn't control the grief that came to her heart, and as she grew older, her selfless and loving blood relatives passed away one after another, and there were fewer and fewer of them, which was the most painful experience in life.
Patrick still didn't succeed to the throne. Archduke Vaorit, who knew more about the Hoffenberg royal family than Natasha, sighed softly, but didn't say anything, but looked at Natasha in a white court dress lovingly, "Would you like to go to Rentat to inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Holm?"
Natasha thought of Hathaway, thought of Lucian, then looked at her father, who was obviously old in front of her, looked at his purple and silver hair, and shook her head resolutely: "There are still many heirs in the Kingdom of Holm, and you only have me." ”
"I was taught since I was a child to shoulder the responsibilities of the Violet family, to shoulder the responsibilities of the Principality of Vaorit, how can I leave here?"
Grand Duke Vaorit patted Natasha's shoulder comfortingly, looked at his daughter, who was already a little taller than himself, and smiled slightly: "What if I say, I want you to go?"
Natasha was stunned.
The bearded Philippel said kindly: "It's not that you can't come back, although the church does not allow the Kingdom of Holm to merge with the Duchy of Vaorit. But you can serve as a part-time and wait until the future for different heirs to inherit, so you can spend one year in the Kingdom of Holm and one year in the Duchy of Vaorit, and the teleportation array will be open to you, which is the Church's reward for your and your family's devotion for so many years. ”
In this way, it is easy to control Natasha, and it is also convenient to guide the nobles to get used to "autonomy" and provoke contradictions between the royal power and ordinary nobles.
"And I'm still in great health, and I can be the Grand Duke for at least twenty years. Archduke Vaorit said half-jokingly. "Your mother left your parents and brothers. willfully married Valorit, watching his father aging and his brother sickly year after year, he inevitably blamed himself in his heart. Even your grandmother died. She didn't make it to the back of the show. I deeply regret that I owe a lot to the Hoffenbergs, so I hope that you will go when the Kingdom of Holm needs you the most to stabilize the internal situation. Make amends for your mother's regrets. ”
Natasha fell silent, her hands clenched into fists at some point, and she nodded slowly: "Okay." ”
Felibel said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Your Royal Highness, the church knows that the type you like is different from ordinary girls, so it helped you to push down the requirement that you have to get married, but the descendants can't help but stay, I believe this is the ardent hope of the Grand Duke and the nobles of the two countries, when the time comes, you can consider directly letting the angel descend on you and give birth to the Holy Fetus, which is the glory that only piety and recklessness have." ”
Salde blamed Lucien on what happened to Aalto at the beginning, saying that Lucien took advantage of Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha to comfort the Grand Duke and took advantage of her, so the church understood that Natasha's sexuality had not changed, and the Grand Duke later knew more or less about it.
Natasha's thick eyelashes drooped to hide the change in mood, and she whispered, "I'll try." ”
But she was thinking to herself, "Is it true that Lucien is talking about asexual conception?"
In order to prevent Natasha from being chased by herself, she couldn't bear the pressure, in order to give birth to an heir, she found a random nobleman to marry, and often gave her "popular science" artificial insemination, IVF and other knowledge.
Getting Natasha's answer, Filipbel Ci said kindly: "We won't disturb Your Royal Highness the princess to say goodbye to the big announcement, in order to ensure your safety and convenience, it is best to choose a small knight group to follow, if there are not many of their families, they can also use the teleportation array together." ”
Because of their different roles, the regular knights are composed of one hundred to five hundred knights of all levels, ten times as many knights and more soldiers, and the medium-sized knights, that is, the family knights of the general nobles, are about thirty knights, and the proportion of knight attendants and soldiers is often very large, while the small knights are the guards of the crown prince and the heir of the principality, consisting of one heavenly knight, three large knights and six knights, A hundred squires and five hundred soldiers, but the small knightly order in Philippe's mouth apparently only included the knightly rank and their families.
After saying that, he said goodbye and left, and the Grand Duke smiled and said to Natasha: "Just now I said that I can still be the Grand Duke for twenty years, but you can't make me wait too long, I hope to see my grandson as soon as possible and see the future of the Violet family." ”
"I'll try. Natasha thought to herself, Lucien, don't have a problem with your "technique".
The Grand Duke looked at Natasha with a smile and said, "I hope you go to the Kingdom of Holm, not only to make up for your mother's regrets, but also because he is there, you don't have to be separated in two places, so you have to hurry up about your grandson's affairs." ”
"Father, what are you talking about, who is he?" Natasha pretended to be at a loss in embarrassment, why could her father misunderstand this?
The Grand Duke laughed and said, "Who else could there be?" Lucien Evans. Although you were a pretending couple a few years ago, my gut tells me that you are not fake now, and I'm happy, happy. ”
Father, you're thinking too much...... Natasha sneered, but the parting was imminent, and she couldn't bear to puncture his good feelings, and at the same time, she decided to use Lucian's blood to create people.
"Don't think I don't know what to do, who has you been communicating with for more than an hour a day for the past few years, and who is it that touches your communication earrings from time to time and giggles?" Archduke Vaorit suddenly felt that her daughter was not as emotional as she claimed to be.
Natasha laughed dryly: "We are good friends, and I didn't want to hide it from you, otherwise you wouldn't know the Tao at all." ”
"Alright, alright, go pick your little Knights. Camille will follow you to Holm. Archduke Vaorit decided to tell Camille to find an opportunity to "remind" Natasha.
Natasha nodded: "Okay, when I get to Holm, I will communicate with you often, father." ”
She began to think in her heart: "Take John's family and surprise Lucien......"
............
Inside the Cathedral of Radiance, the teleportation array opened, and the holy light shone.
This teleportation array is used to provide reinforcements when the Magic Council is in full attack, and it belongs to the largest category, which can teleport fifty knights at a time, even with the financial resources of the Southern Church. It can only be placed in five places: Reims, Antifleur, Aalto, Rentat, and Haim, the capital of the northern province of the Holy Helz Empire.
In the milky white glow. Natasha, Camille, the nine knights, their wives, children, parents, and more than forty people appeared inside, and Joel and other ordinary people looked dizzy and retching.
Among these nine knights, only the third-level knight John brought his parents and younger brother to a complete family. The other knights thought they would be able to return to Aalto in a year. There's no need to be so troublesome. Just took a wife and children.
"John, how can you not leave your parents wherever you go?" said another great knight, John's friend Finger, joked.
John survived the vertigo. was busy taking care of Joel, Elisa and Evan, and smiled when he heard this: "It's a rare opportunity to go to a foreign country, you should always bring your parents and younger brother to see different scenery, and isn't it that Her Royal Highness the princess has notified you to bring all your family members?"
"No, did you hear me wrong?" said Finger, looking suspiciously at Natasha in front of her.
At this time, the female officials from the Nexer Palace sprung up, trimmed Natasha's hair, eyebrows, and other parts, and at the same time draped her in a cloak embroidered with the Hoffenberg family crest in addition to the milky white armor, which was a fuchsia coat of arms wrapped in cloud-like stripes, and in the center was a sacred crown, flanked by a golden scepter and a blue sword.
"Your Royal Highness, Honorable Crown Prince, I ask you to take the Order to the Palace of Nexer, and then ride back to the Radiant Cathedral on horseback along the marked route, where you will be crowned King. Rex, the Speaker of the House of Nobles, saluted respectfully.
Natasha said majestically: "Please ask the Duke of Frenberg to lead the way." ”
John and the other knights hurriedly settled their families, guarded Natasha straight and neatly, and left the Radiant Cathedral with her, and came to the Nexus Palace in the aristocratic quarter.
"Let's go!" Rex, who was leading the way, waved his arm.
A knight raised his horn and blew it vigorously.
Woo!
At the sound of the trumpet, John and the other four knights took the lead in riding their horses, and then the heroic Natasha sat on her back and followed behind.
Woo!
The magic crystal lamps of the villas were turned on, and the street lamps were all lit up, one after another, like a sky full of stars welcoming the new king.
"This is ......" John and the others had never seen this kind of scene of the galaxy hanging upside down, and they were quite shocked for a while.
Woo!
Countless candles lit up in the ordinary houses on both sides of the street, and pairs of eyes worshipped their new lord through the windows and through the cracks in the doors.
Natasha was suddenly a little nervous, because she had to take an oath under the light of the Holy Light during the coronation ceremony, and could her faith pass the inspection?
She felt something in her heart, tilted her head slightly, and saw a dark-haired man standing behind a window, his handsome face and iconic monocle so familiar and kind.
As soon as she saw Lucian, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl, and her heart settled down, even the pursuit of the legendary powerhouse could be blocked, what else was she afraid of?
Is there no mercy, no loyalty, no courage in your heart?
With her head held high, Natasha's stunning appearance and heroic demeanor impressed the nobles and citizens of the Kingdom of Holm very deeply.
Walking through the streets, Natasha and the guard of honor arrived at the Radiant Cathedral just as it was overcast, and the first rays of light in the morning shone on her.
Dismounting and stepping up the steps, Natasha calmly walked down the hall to the salute of the ordinary nobles on either side, and walked before Cardinal Salde.
Kneeling on one knee before the Holy Cross, and after some questioning, Natasha stood facing all the nobles, pressed her left hand on the Holy Text, raised her right hand, and pointed her three fingers to the sky:
"I, Natasha Vaorit, solemnly and reverently declare before the Lord: "
"I am a devout believer in the Cult of God-of-Truth, and I will follow the Holy Scriptures and the Code of the Kingdom of Holm, defend them with my life, and fight for the glory of the Lord and the interests of the Kingdom of Holm until death!"
Salde stood in front of Natasha with a holy tome in his hand, and a soft light emanated from her body, checking her faith.
Natasha was in a peaceful state of mind, and in the light, she asked if she had violated her knightly vows, and when she received a negative answer, the light suddenly brightened, like an angel descending.
Salde smiled kindly, "You are a devout and steadfast believer, a brave and tenacious knight, and you are qualified to be the king of the Kingdom of Holm. ”
He picked up the golden kingdom on the red velvet next to him and put it on Natasha's head, who was slightly buried:
"I declare, by the grace of the Lord, that Natasha Vaorit is the Queen of the Kingdom of Holm and its territories and possessions, the Protector of the Faith, the Countess Violet, the Lord of the Bilbis Islands, the Lord of Sollaho and the Baltimorens, the Grand Duchess of Emden, the Lord of the Most Glorious Order of the Sword of Truth, the Lord of the Most Glorious Order of the Knights of the Judgment, the Oldest and Most Honorable Lord of the Order of the Holy Cross. ”
Natasha looked up on the crown set with many gems in front of her, symbolically took the sacred and bright "Sword of Truth", and with the assistance of divine magic, held it high in the air, exuding a sharp luster.
Duke Rex, Duke Sorenfinh, Duke James, Duke Russell and other nobles all knelt on one knee:
"See my king!" (to be continued......)
