Chapter 409: Coronation Ceremony

Brinore Cathedral.

Dozens of limestone pillars support the 24-meter-high dome, and in the center of the altar carved from white glazed rock, a straight light reflects the solemnity and sanctity of the prayer hall.

“...... Edward Auguste, you are crowned King today. May our Lord direct your path and sweep away your obstacles...... Wear the crown...... Adorned with bronze, silver, and gold, it represents mercy, you have mercy on the weak, you guarantee their livelihood, you represent respect, you maintain the glory and prestige of your vassals, you represent protection, you protect believers and your people from harm...... And remember, thou art the king of the Gambis, and the lord of the knights, and the Lord of the Most High Light, bless thee, and grant thee power and dignity without offense in all generations......"

Dressed in golden papal robes and holding a crown, Clement recited a lengthy prayer with a solemn expression. Edward, dressed in a king's dress, knelt on one knee in front of the altar, his handsome little face tense.

Victor stood on the red carpet in the prayer hall and felt that this scene was so familiar.

When the little baron was serving as an attendant in the Kite Castle, Roland often took him and Edward to play various role-playing games, and the king's coronation was performed many times. At that time, Edward was still young and impatient, and in the middle of the performance, he asked Roland in a milky voice, "Are you okay?" and Roland would immediately knock his finger on the door of his head and let him continue to finish the performance on his knees.

Edward knelt in front of the Pope, his neck slightly tilted back, his posture slightly stiff. Others only thought that the little king was a little nervous. Victor, however, knew that he was ready to dodge the thunderbolts that fell from the sky. This is most likely a problem left over from the beginning.

Roland's game becomes a reality, and twelve-year-old Edward is already a beautiful teenager, but his habits are the same.

Although power is obsessed, with the free and loose nature of the Auguste family, Edward may not like the throne of Gambis, and his desire to satisfy Roland is probably the majority, like a game as a child.

The difference is that there were not so many big names who accompanied the sisters and brothers to mess around before.

The bishops and lords of the Gambis gathered, and envoys from various countries watched on both sides of the red carpet. Behind Edward stood Sylvia, Goron, and Roland, the three Guardians of the Kingdom. Queen Catherine and Prince Regent Williams led the nobles of the Augustian family to stand at the foot of the steps. The Marquis of Bastern, the Marquis of Leopold, the Marquis of Ludwig, the Marquis of Greyward, and the Marquess of Wimbledon, the five court marquises, led the lord of the fiefs in order. Next are the five powerful lords of Wellington, Joshua, Nimes, York, and Solim, and the rest of the independent lords.

Victor was loud, but he could only stand in the back of the house on such occasions.

While the other lords were basically husbands and wives with heirs, Victor was far away from his wife, and even more so from Sylvia. Luckily, with Anna behind him, flanked by the charming Judy and her eight-year-old son, Primo Buryatia, he looked like a family of four.

Anna's delicate little face was a touching red, and her big watery eyes stared at the heroic young king for a moment. Bathed in the light and surrounded by the Golden Knight, Edward apparently fell in love with a girl of his age.

In the coronation ceremony of the divine right of the king, the king is the well-deserved protagonist. Lords and dignitaries alike saluted the king and the pope, and Victor was no exception.

However, Victor has neither loyalty nor devout faith, but only reverence for power and supernatural power. The atmosphere of the coronation ceremony was solemn and solemn, but Victor still had a sense of detachment, and he even hid among the lords, looking at the queen from the corner of his eye.

Catherine's face is clear and bright, and her facial features are very similar to Roland's, and she looks like a pair of sisters from a distance.

It was the first time Victor had met the queen herself, and he had the impression that the little baron not only loved her, but also had illusions about her.

It is normal for a young squire who is just beginning to fall in love with the beautiful and noble queen, and the little baron inadvertently shows his hazy affection for the queen in front of Roland, and after learning Roland's identity, he is half frightened to death, because he is afraid that the eldest princess will tell Her Majesty the queen about his troubles.

The little baron did not know until his death that Catherine should be his first woman.

If the little baron's memory was correct, three noble knights had trained him herself. Although they were all wearing gold masks at the time, Victor was able to use X-3 to refer to memory fragments and compare details of their eyes, ears, lips, neck, and arms to determine their true identities.

The first time that the little baron was most impressed was Catherine!

This conclusion shocked Victor.

Edward was crowned king, and Catherine got her wish. But her demeanor is elegant, she is as beautiful as ever, and her expression is plain and does not show any joy. It can be seen that her will is enough to control her inner emotions.

In a sense, high-level knights and ordinary people are completely two life forms. The silver knights chase noble bloodlines, but they do not debauchery, they enjoy pleasure but do not lose themselves.

Catherine and the little baron had only one intimate encounter. Judging from the time, it happened not long after His Majesty Lane's death, and the little baron's Moon Elf bloodline was still very thin at that time. Catherine shouldn't have done such a thing.

Unless the little baron still has secrets on him that Victor doesn't know!

Whatever Catherine's plans for the little baron, Victor decided to stay away from her.

Victor is Victor, the little baron is the little baron, he has been replaced. It's as if the little baron's biological father was also at the coronation. Victor saw his blood relatives, but his heart was not shocked, and he didn't even have the desire to say hello.

Clement finally put the crown on Edward's head, and when the new king stood up to face the crowd, Victor and the lords drew their swords, half-knelt on the ground, and swore an oath: "My king, I owe you allegiance from today to forever!"

Next, according to the custom, Edward canonized the new king's sword-bearer, bow-bearer, shield-bearer, and horse-bearer, a total of four young servant knights. They were all sons of the royal nobles, and would be by Edward's side in the future, protecting his safety, but their main duty was to serve as the king's heralds.

It's a pity that with Williams, the regent, Edward still has a long way to go if he wants to convey his will. However, Edward's coronation marked the end of the disputes caused by the fall of the previous king, and the political situation in Gambis changed from turmoil to stability.

For the independent lords of Gambis, as long as they do not get involved in the infighting of the royal family, it is a good thing to be thankful. And Victor reaped the biggest benefit from this political turmoil, otherwise he would still be a little male pet, maneuvering under the pomegranate skirt of the high-ranking female knights of the royal capital.

But...... Seem...... This hasn't changed.

The coronation ceremony is finally over. Edward, wearing the crown of the king, left the cathedral surrounded by the crowd and boarded the ornate carriage to the palace. He will host a small banquet in the Knights' Hall of the Knight of the Knight of the Kite Castle for the Pope, bishops, envoys of the nations, and the nobles of Gambis, who hold the title of Marquis.

After the legion tournament decides the new knights and nobles, the new king will feast on the lords and ministers of Gambis.

The big winner, Viscount Randall, could only watch Sylvia and Sophia drive away with the king's chariot. Despite his multiple statuses, the major powers in the kingdom wanted him to be the Viscount Lord of the Centaur Hills rather than the husband of the Marquess of Wimbleton.

"Dear Lord Viscount Randall, would you like to be a guest at the Buryat family mansion?" the empathetic Judy invited.

Victor retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Beautiful Lady Judy, do I have the honor to invite you and Master Primo to enjoy the scenery of Blinor City?" Well... It's like hanging out in Wildwillow City. ”

"Yes, yes!" Angelina applauded. The pearl of the York family came to the royal capital for the first time, but was locked up by Sophia in the Marquis's Court to practice the etiquette of the coronation ceremony, but she was suffocated.

The heir of the Buryat family snorted and twisted his little head aside.

The customs of this world are quite peculiar, and ordinary people are still inferior to men and women, but the knight aristocracy, regardless of gender, only looks at blood and strength. Victor's main will side comes from the modern patriarchal society, and the idea of machismo is deeply rooted, he sees Judy as his own woman, and is willing to play the role of Primo's father. However, he is handsome and weak, like a 16 or 7-year-old aristocratic boy, not at all like a mature father.

Primo was initially close to Victor and treated him as a big brother. But as the little one grew older, he noticed that the eldest brother in his mind had actually rolled the sheets with his mother. The character in Primo's heart collapsed, and he thought that he had been betrayed by the two, and he was immediately unhappy.

Judy was greatly embarrassed, looked at Victor apologetically, and reprimanded him harshly: "Primo Buryat pay attention to your etiquette!"

Victor doesn't get angry with a little kid. When Primo becomes an adult, he will naturally understand that the union of Victor and Judy is more out of the needs of family politics. If he could not accept the reality, then it would be impossible for him to inherit the title of Buryatia.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yeliu City is now in the right and left, and it is making money every day, relying on its close relationship with the Randall family. The Buryatia family, as well as the surrounding lords, did not want to change the current situation. Primo insists on going his own way, and the end will be tragic, and Judy will be implicated.

If Judy's mother and son really lose power, Victor doesn't care. He had plenty of supplies in his hands, enough to protect the interests of the Randall family in Wild Willow City. Lady Judy, who lost the support of her family, could only change her identity and be accepted by him into Silvermoon Manor. And Primo, who is willing to take in whom.

Of course, Victor has always been generous to his own people, and when the gold recovery potion is whitewashed, he can push Judy to the realm of a senior knight and help her stabilize her position in the Buryat family.

"Honey, since Primo doesn't want to go shopping, you go back with him to rest. I'll take Anna around as I please. Victor smiled and touched Primo's stubborn little head.

As he was talking, a young man dressed in the court's viscount dress came over, saluted Judy, and said with a smile: "Beautiful lady, don't mind if I borrow a Viscount Randall." ”

Judy returned the salute gracefully, and greeted him with dignity and affection. "Viscount Paisiko, you haven't been to Wild Willow City for a few days...... I heard that you have stepped down from your post as the tax collector of the royal capital and are now the right-hand man of the Home Secretary?"

Victor coughed and said with a smile, "My dear, your message is outdated...... Let me reintroduce Viscount Tenis Ludwigsi, former tax collector of the royal capital, my good friend, now chief clerk of the Interior of the Kingdom, grandson-in-law of the Marquis de Ludwigsi, and future court minister of the kingdom. ”

"I'm sorry, Viscount Ludwigsi. We, the Buryatia family, would like to add a congratulatory gift to congratulate you on your marriage to the young lady of the Ludwigs. Judy gave Victor a charming look, and said angrily: "My dear, you didn't remind me that I was rude in front of the future palace minister. ”

Victor spread his hands and said innocently: "This guy didn't notify me of his marriage to Miss Ludwig's family...... I didn't know until I arrived in the royal capital. He touched his smooth chin, looked at Viscount Ternis, and said suspiciously, "...... Is it because of my notoriety? Anyway, don't you want to get a gift from me. ”

Judy sneered, and the touching style was like a flower blooming.

Viscount Turnis blushed and said embarrassedly, "Victor, don't make fun of me...... I'm lucky enough to join the Ludwigs, and that's too high-profile......"

"Oh, it looks like there's a story to hear...... Why don't we go to the tavern for a drink?" said Victor with a grin.

"Then I won't disturb the conversation between the two adults, I'll take my leave first. ”

Judy pursed her lips and smiled, lifted her skirt and gave a salute, and took Primo with her and stepped into the light carriage.

Victor watched the Buryat family's carriage go away, and prayed silently in his heart for little Primo's ass, hoping that Judy would not be too ruthless.

"What a wonderful beauty, no wonder she is admired by Viscount Randall. Tenness teased from the side.

"You're going to take me there for a drink?" Victor smiled, raising his hand to summon Nelson and Caligula over.

"The best tavern in the royal capital is the alfalfa by Baron Tyrell. Baron Tyrell is the younger brother of Her Majesty the Queen, and you should be familiar with it. Tennis said.

Victor's heart shook, he pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "I heard that you have opened a Blue Amber Hotel in the outer city of the royal capital, and I will go there to cheer you on." ”

Tenis was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "That...... Baron Shatarn Wimbledon and Baroness Lelia stayed at my Blue Amber Inn......"

"I know. I was just about to meet my parents. Victor nodded as a matter of course, then turned his head and said, "Anna......"

"I'm going too!" Anna quickly shook her head.

"The hostels in the outer town are not the place you should be...... Well, I'll take you to the Kite Fort tomorrow. Victor said with a headache.

Anna's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly. She also wanted to get a closer look at His Majesty Edward August.

Tenis asked in disbelief, "......What is this young lady?"

"Angelina Branstedt York has met His Excellency Ludwig. "Anna gave a knightly salute.

Turnis hurriedly returned the salute: "Oh, I'm sorry, Miss York, it was my negligence. ”

Anna nodded reservedly, and then whispered to Victor, "Take me to the kite castle tomorrow...... Your Excellency, you can't break your promise!" and without waiting for Victor to repent, she boarded the carriage with the knight of the guard.

"Let's go. Victor said to Tenis.

"Oh, okay. Tenis came back to his senses and waved behind him. A sturdy and well-proportioned guard stepped onto his horse and hurried to the Blue Amber Hotel in the outer city to arrange relevant matters.

Through the elemental vision, Victor suddenly found that this was actually a bronze knight, and he couldn't help but be suspicious. But given the power of the Ludwigs, it's no surprise that they had several secret knights for their party with Ternis.

Victor didn't think much of it, he and Tenis rode in the same carriage, Nelson led his guards and rode the swiftbird to follow, while Caligula could only spread his legs and run all the way.
