Chapter Seventy-One: The Coronation Day of Weiss

"That guy Iroh is really ......"

With a sigh, Vess took a sip of the coffee, which was already a little cold.

Regarding the change in the royal capital, in a quiet environment, Weiss also combined all kinds of information after the incident, and it took a full month to roughly figure out the inside story of Iroh's plan. God knows how Iroh managed to set up such an elaborate and complicated game in such a short period of time!

What's even more terrifying is that Iroh's bureau also made the most of the plans of other forces, and finally made the weakest force on his side achieve the greatest results in this competition.

At least on the surface, it was the Tokamaks who emerged as the biggest winners.

After taking out the two dukes and their killer troops, Stowe quickly left Barrington. And then many officials and nobles who were leaderless came to the Inheritance Temple under the protection of the belated soldiers.

It is worth mentioning that both Lulu and Fitztier, who participated in the attack on the temple, died under siege by the Vengeful Knights, but the swordsman named Claire mysteriously disappeared - and he was never seen again.

There was no suspense about what happened next, and Vis became the new king as Iroh had expected, and even if a few nobles questioned Vess's origins, this faint voice was easily silenced before the temple proved and Iroh calmly responded.

After that, Vis had his first long-term separation from Iroh and the Tokamaks.

It's easy to think of why: after this unprecedented catastrophe, half of Barrington's buildings were in ruins, making it unfit to exist as a national capital. Under the pressure of disaster and Stasi, after a short but productive discussion, it was unanimously decided to move the capital to the commercial city of Zakif.

After all, Falkenridge's territory is not very large, and there is no decent city except for Zakif - you can't ask a king to stay in a farmhouse or a tavern mixed with adventurers, right?

Therefore, the castle where Weiss now lives is the place where a marquis usually used for vacation. After more than a month of hard work, the castle finally looked like the king's residence.

Of course, the marquis was not as ambitious as the Duke of Hopps, and as soon as he heard that the new king was coming, he happily gave up the castle as soon as he heard that the new king was coming.

Naturally, Iroh returned to his fiefdom of the Icourt Valley with Noele.

Although it was not a long time to leave the Icourt Valley this time, it was such a big thing. Even if he is as strong as Iroh, there is a faint feeling of being in a different world.

Besides, there are indeed a lot of gains from this accident, and it's time to prepare for the next step......

So, after a brief admonition to Vess, Iroh went back as fast as he could.

"It's late, Your Majesty, aren't you resting?"

A friendly but lingering male voice sounded softly in the room, and a tall and thin figure writhed from time to time in the glow of the fireplace.

Weiss's body froze instantly, and he quickly turned his head and put on a reserved smile.

"Because tomorrow is the time for the coronation, the thought of such a big ceremony makes my heart a little uneasy......"

While talking, Weiss admired his acting skills in his heart.

Originally, as a black-and-red hybrid dragon, let alone getting along with humans, he was extremely resistant to even becoming human.

But on the one hand, there is pressure from Iro, and on the other hand, Vis is also in a situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger, if it is discovered that he is not a human, then not only will the human not let him go, but Iroh may also be angry because he broke his plan, right?

Compared to the dragon's pride, he didn't want to provoke Iroh anymore.

- at least before adolescence!

As if he felt that this thought was a bit shameless, Weiss added viciously in his heart.

Of course, despite his reluctance to learn the knowledge of this "humble creature", out of the desire to survive, Vis still learned quickly, and the facts proved that it was indeed a wise decision for Iroh to choose Vis as king at that time.

For a month, Weiss followed the middle-aged man standing in the doorway, the Earl of Duncan, to learn what it was necessary to be a king. He learned so fast that even Earl Duncan, who came from a scholarly family, was a little surprised.

"No matter what Your Majesty learns, you can remember it just once. He has the potential to be a good king. ”

Earl Duncan often said this to others when he was resting.

"Your Majesty, you need not worry about this," looking at Vess, whose face was full of obvious trouble, Earl Duncan bowed, his tone humble but not polite, "You are the hope of the future of the country, and with the withering of the royal family now, you do have a lot to bear. But over the past month, I am completely confident in your performance. ”

It's not without reason that, according to the normal process, a minor king like Weiss can't be crowned right now. He can only be crowned when he is an adult, and that is when he is pro-government.

But now, due to the great changes in the royal capital, the nobles who were able to carry out the regent died in that disaster, and the rest were either unwilling to continue to wade into troubled waters, or Duncan's status was too low to really assist the little king.

In addition, under the pressure of the Principality of Stassie, everyone had no choice but to let Vis be crowned directly.

"Ah, thank you, Count. ”

Vis smiled reluctantly, but there was a wave of disdain in his heart: when did he need a mere human to evaluate, or not to survive......

Duncan understood this performance as the young king's lack of confidence, and he also knew that the boy in front of him was probably a commoner more than a month ago, and it was impossible for him to completely change his mentality in such a short time.

So Duncan was not in a hurry for this meeting, but just comforted Weiss a few more words, and then stepped back and let him rest.

"Falkenridge ......"

Once again in the quiet of the bedroom, Vis took off all his clothes as fast as he could—he was never used to them, and even if he couldn't turn back into dragon form, he liked to go undressed when he was alone—and threw himself into the large bed covered in soft velvet and let out a sigh of anguish.

Iroh was dashing when he left, but then he was going to take over the mess.

After a month of study, Weiss naturally understood what Falkenridge's situation was now. This is completely different from the heavenly life that Iroh had said before.

Don't talk about the Golden Palace, the castle I live in now is similar to the Earl's Castle in Iro. And there were no mountains of gold coins here, but there was a backlog of documents half a meter high for him to deal with.

At this time, combined with Iroh's usual approach, where did Weiss not know that he had been completely deceived?

But he couldn't stop it. As I said earlier, suffer or die, and it is clear that Weiss will not seek death in his youth.

Now the only thing that can really give him a little comfort is "that......

Thinking of this, Vis got up again, and carefully took out a finger-long scroll from the place where the pile of clothes was close to him.

Before Ieloh parted, he gave Vis such a scroll, saying that it could be used to exchange information.

Where does Eves's wisdom not know that in addition to controlling Falkenridge's situation, Iroh is also doing this to further control himself?

But he really didn't have a better way, after all, Weiss was just a juvenile dragon, and most dragons of this age still lived with their parents. Even the most independent dragons are only beginning to try to establish their own territory.

Which dragon in history went "behind enemy lines" as a teenager to become the king of mankind?

Anyway, there is no memory of Weiss's inheritance!

Perhaps, it is this that Ailo has taken a fancy to this, so he can control himself.

Thinking a little weakly, Vis hid the scroll back away.

The next day, the coronation ceremony was held as expected, but due to the aftermath of the royal capital incident, there were not many people participating in the coronation ceremony, and the ceremony scene was full of improvisation.

Although it was still an eye-opener for ordinary people, it was undoubtedly one of the evidence that Falkenridge had lost his vitality to the Stacy nobles who came to celebrate with various purposes.

In short, the grand ceremony had become so shabby that there wasn't even anything to say about it—but Vis could only curse Iroh and his men in his heart.

Soon the ceremony was at its most critical moment, and Bishop Burton of the Dawn Holy See Branch held the canon of the God of Light in one hand and the holy pattern in the air with the other, and looked at Vess solemnly.

"Will you make a solemn pledge to rule over the kingdom of Falkenridge and the people of your possessions, to administer their lands, and to rule with respect for their respective laws and customs?"

Vis nodded: "I would like to make a solemn promise. ”

Bishop Burton asked: "Are you willing to do your part, with mercy, to defend the law and the just cause of the country?"

Vess continued: "I do. ”

Burton asked again: "Are you willing to do everything in your power to uphold the law of the God of Light and to obey the true teachings of the canon of the Church? Are you willing to maintain and protect the sanctity of the Holy See of Dawn and its subordinate churches, and to maintain and protect their doctrines, worship, principles, and their rule established by law? Are you willing to protect the rights and privileges of bishops, clergy, and churches which they preside over by law?"

"I am committed to complying with all of the above requirements. I will keep and fulfill my promise, and may the God of Light bless us. ”

Vis sneered in his heart, but his face showed an extremely solemn and awe-inspiring expression.

"I declare the coronation ceremony over, then, and you are already King Falkenridge, who has been recognized by the Holy See and is able to govern in person. ”

Bishop Burton nodded, took the crown from the attendant beside him, and solemnly placed it on Weiss's head.

In this way, after the formation of the Tokamaks, the little black dragon from the Tokamaks was officially crowned king in a perfunctory ceremony.

I don't know...... When will I be able to truly live the kind of life described in my inheritance memory in this life?

Vis looked at the nobles who came over to congratulate him without knowing whether it was true or false, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
