Chapter 198: Coronation
Kay East and Evan Hall rode a white horse and a brown horse, respectively, and walked on either side of the carriage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info There were long guards of honor, guards, and knights in armor around them, and the red carpet stretched from the front of the Golden Palace to the entrance of the temple.
"May God bless us that the doors of the Central Church will be open to us today. Evan Hall gave Kay a polite smile.
Prior to his crusade, Evan had offered a priceless bribe to the Central Templar, suggesting that they would not interfere with the change of throne in the Sunset Empire.
Since then, Evan has made several trips to the Templar through Professor Corelli in the hope of getting a clear attitude from the priest. He slandered the Southern Expeditionary Army for sacrificing the Sacred Domain Army in order to save his life, resulting in the destruction of the entire army.
The King, the Queen Regent, and the Council of Kings conspired to kill Turing Stanley and tried to deceive the Central Templar. They were very dissatisfied with the rule of the Sanctuary, and tried to disobey the orders of the Sanctuary many times.
The failure of the southern expedition showed that the regime was no longer able to fulfill the task given to them by the true God to govern the country, and that the merciful should rule the land.
The Holy Priests were indifferent to Evan's demagoguery, but they did not refuse the wealth that Fukaya had given them. The defeat of the Southern Expedition moved the priesthood slightly, believing that the Silver Eagle Alliance was no longer fit to have their power.
Evan Hall explained to them the time of the new king's accession to the throne, and the holy priests, as well as the priesthood, unanimously agreed to crown the new king.
This is Evan's capital to show off, after all, no one in the empire can shake the untouched Sanctuary except him, but he has been met with an indifferent response.
"Isn't it your business to see if the Central Templar will open its doors to the new king?" Kay East, not wanting to compliment the young man beside him at all, replied coldly, and rode forward.
The armies of the Northern Alliance were scattered throughout the imperial capital, and for three days they beheaded anyone they saw in public. Traders, farmers, artisans, beggars, anyone who looked like a rebel, died by their swords.
Previously, in the secret tavern, there were troubadours who mocked Black Sword as a white bear and the Hall family as wild wolves, killing one powerless lamb and driving the other into the sheepfold.
The taverns were set on fire the next day, the troubadours were dragged out into the streets, their beautiful wigs were taken off, the lyre was smashed, and their heads rolled down the streets.
On the third day, the streets became filled with joy, and the people stood on both sides of the street for ten copper coins, singing the praises of their new king, cursing the dead Liepon and the Queen Regent, and shouting to purge the wicked and avenge the previous king.
Arthur Stanley sat in a rickety carriage, his body had not been cleaned of all the toxins, the bloodletting made him dizzy, and the high fever had kept him mentally unclear. However, he knew that the Holy Priest of the Imperial Sanctuary would personally crown him today, a ritual that every king of the Iris Dynasty would go through.
He stuck his head out the window, the early autumn wind was already blowing, the sudden drop in temperature made his pain lessen, and he looked around for the figure of Brand-East, the magical woman who always gave him strength.
However, the Duke of East ruined him.
"Your Highness, please be careful for your safety. The black sword looked cold as ice, and said a hard word.
Soon, the team reached the bronze gate of the Central Sanctuary, and Arthur slowly stepped out of the carriage, only to feel a slight feeling under his feet. The statues of the saints looked down at him from the sky, making him feel like a speck of dust that would drift into the sky when the wind blew.
"The coronation ceremony begins!" the maester loudly announced, this duty should have been performed by the Minister of the Interior, Mark Duna, but at this moment, everyone in the Silver Eagle Alliance was isolated from the imperial capital.
Arthur only felt a slight tremor in his heart, as if every step of the way was on the blade. If the people of the Silver Eagle Alliance are expelled, how will he carry out his plan?
No, no, no matter how strong the power of the North is, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to the entire southeast of the Sunset Empire, and it is impossible for the power of the ancient family to be wiped out in a few days.
Firming up his faith, he followed the two Templars into the gates of the Central Templar. When he saw the stone pillars around him, he felt a chill all around him, and if he knew that Evan Hall's attendants were silently devoured by these stone pillars, he would not be able to move.
The templar dome depicted all sorts of stories about true gods and oracles, and the gilded lace blurred his vision, and he felt that he was hallucinating, as if these kind-faced holy figures were suddenly baring their fangs, lifting their bloody blades, and stabbing at him.
The Templars slowly retreated, and Arthur was greeted by a group of monks, dressed in white gold-embroidered top hats with intricate crosshairs symbolizing their status. The monk's robe hung down to the ground, nearly tripping his heels.
Kay East, Evan Hall, George Gluck, and their entourage walked slowly behind Arthur Stanley. There are also a number of ceremonial officers, scholars, and royal guards in the rear.
In the past, when Lepon-Stanley was crowned, the scene was not so deserted, and the entourage of hundreds of officials filled the chapel of Nuoda when they entered, and the major families smiled and gathered around the ten-year-old little king to ascend the throne.
Who would have thought that within a few months, another Stanley would take the king's place in the same place, and the powerful ministers behind him had different minds and few people.
The monks began to chant hymns to the effect that the land of the Sunset Empire would be sheltered, and that the true God would bring His power to earth and bestow the crown on the Iris kings.
Upon entering the chapel, Arthur Stanley saw twenty priests standing on the left and right of the Holy Priest, who poured holy springs at Arthur and chanted the Gospel of God in the ancient imperial Chinese.
Arthur felt the coldness of the holy spring water, and only felt that the blood vessels in his body had solidified. He only felt as if he had entered another huge cage, surrounded by a crowd of people watching him. The thought nearly caused him to have a toxin attack and fall to the ground.
Here, how many people want him to die, how many want him to sit half-dead on the throne and become a puppet at the mercy of others? How many people want the balance of power to be restored, so that they can regain the life of a paper fan?
This group of people rules the country, high above, and fights each other only for their own interests. And the country is composed of countless people who are not capable of raising their voices, and who will maintain their power?
He is about to succeed Turing-Stanley as the twenty-fourth king of the Iris dynasty, so what can he bring to the land when he is dying? )
