Chapter 172: Rite of Passage

When the trumpeters in court dresses on both sides of the road blew the trombone, all eyes looked to the other side of the square. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Then a gorgeous convoy appeared at the end of the square, led by the star knight "Big Nose" George. He rode on a war horse dressed in the blue and white robe of Idris, and came with his spear held high.

Behind him, knights in Idris blue and white robes were escorted on foot. He was accompanied by a whole band playing flutes and drums.

There were three gold-encrusted carriages in the convoy, each of which was covered with blue and white ribbons, making it extremely luxurious and beautiful.

The first was a marble statue carved with a shield painted with a balance pattern and a golden sword. And in the middle of the car sat Eve, who was wearing a princess dress. The last car was a dressed Veronica. But she had an iron laurel wreath on her head more than Eve.

When the two beautiful women appeared on the road in a carriage, the people around them let out an exclamation.

"So beautiful, Princess Eve will always be my goddess. ”

"The girl in the carriage behind is so pretty. ”

"yes, who is she, so beautiful. ”

"Looks like Princess Eve's sister laurel. I didn't expect us to have so many beautiful women in Idiris. I don't usually find out. ”

"You ** silk, how can we civilians see a beauty of this level. ”

"Alas...... If I can marry the beautiful woman in the back, I will be willing to be a cow and a horse for the rest of my life. ”

"You ** silk, don't be a toad who wants to eat swan meat!haha"

The men all started talking, and the people of Idiris were very clear about Eve's beauty. After all, the World Archives all have Eve's ranking.

But Veronica is still in front of the public eye for the first time. They didn't expect that Idiris had such a beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city.

When the carriage reached the entrance of the Cathedral of Idris, Veronica got out of the carriage and took Eve by the arm and walked to the altar together.

At this time, the stage was filled with nobles and ambassadors from various kingdoms and states. Many people were also amazed by their beauty.

A middle-aged man with a monocle of crystal glasses on the stage immediately said to the servant next to him who was recording the picture with charcoal: "You will check this girl's name later, and by the way, draw her portrait and put it in storage." We would have missed such a beauty in the World Archive. Is there still a face called the World Database?"

So the servant hurriedly took out a charcoal pen and sketched Veronica's appearance.

At this time, Lance was in the VIP area under the stage and watched everything on the stage.

The coming-of-age ceremony was very complicated, starting with Patriarch Idris praying to Venian, the god of all things, and Flobelga, the goddess of justice. This was followed by all sorts of strange rituals. Like washing the forehead with holy water, kneeling and kissing the marble statue on the carriage, and so on.

It took more than an hour to finally reach the final part - wearing the laurel crown.

The laurel wreath is the symbol of the goddess Flobelga, and every noble girl of Idiris, will wear it on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony. Not only does this mean that Eve is an adult, but it also means that she will officially have all of her titles.

However, Eve's laurels are obviously much more luxurious than Veronica's head. Not only is it made of gold, but each small leaf is outlined with silver thread and embellished with precious stones.

According to the Normanland Imperial Code, women from knight and baron families could only wear iron crowns, while kings and archdukes could wear gold crowns.

At this moment, it was none other than her laurel sister, Veronica, who put on the golden laurel crown for Eve. A year ago, it was also Eve who put on the iron laurels of the Ringer family for Veronica.

When Veronica's golden laurel crown was slowly placed on Eve's head, the whole square erupted in fierce applause.

The crowd shouted in unison, "Long live Princess Eve!"

Cheers, whistles, cheers, applause. At this moment, everyone on the stage had their own opinions on this earth-shattering cheer in their hearts.

Lance in the audience understood Eve's position in Idris. It seems that it is not for nothing that the Duke of Eagle Gang wants to kill Eve. As long as Eve's is there, the people of Idris can be twisted into a rope.

The Duke of Aceh, on the other hand, had a proud smile on his face, and seeing this moment, he was even more sure that his decision was the right one.

Princess Miranda smiled, but there was worry between her brows. Looking at the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, she looked at her brother Linton next to her, and saw a lewd smile on his face.

Miranda sighed in disappointment and shook her head. She didn't know if the brother would be able to help Hittivit accomplish that political goal.

And Prince Linton, with only a rippling smile on his lips, looked at the cheering crowd as if he were a conqueror, despising everything. He thought to himself: In a few days, the goddess for whom you are cheering will be in my bed. What's the use of a woman no matter how powerful she is? When the time comes, she will still submit to a man.

Then the Duke of Aceh walked to the front of the stage, and then the cheers of the crowd fell silent, and the Duke of Aceh stood on the podium and spoke:

"Today I would like to thank the distinguished guests from all kingdoms, the people of Idiris, and visitors from other countries for attending the coming-of-age ceremony of the little girl. Since Eve set out with me at the age of 13, her exploits have been obvious to all, her intellect has been known to all, her bravery, her intimidation, her kindness, and her broadcast. I have such a daughter, and this is the greatest gift from the gods. It's all thanks to my daughter, Eve, who Idires is where he is today. So I'm here today to make an announcement. Depose my son Ferdinand Rostol as heir. Eves Rostor as the first heir to my dukedom title!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire square once again resounded with almost crazy cheers.

"Long live Princess Eve!" became the only line in the whole scene.

After cheering for a full 10 minutes, the crowd finally stopped. And the Duke of Aceh also took advantage of the situation to announce: "I announce! The Flobelja Laurel Ceremony Tournament has officially begun! Please move to the Colosseum!"

Then, amid the carnival of the people, everyone flocked to the large arena in the east of the city.

The Grand Arena, whose full name is "Veneto Amphitheater", is a large amphitheater built 800 years ago by Veneto, the founder of the "Rostor Dynasty" of Idilis. The reference is to the Arena of the Gods in St. Venian, the capital of the Normanland Empire.

The large diameter is a staggering 253 meters, and the small diameter is a full 227 meters. And when Reims reached the outside of the arena, the more intuitive majesty was the majestic faΓ§ade of 60 meters supported by ornate reliefs and gilded Ionic columns.

If you didn't know that this was the Hippodrome, you would think it was a giant relief wall showing the epic of Idris.

Each figure in the relief above is carved according to real proportions, and each different face is telling their epic story to the travelers here.

From the creation of the four gods, to the battle of creation, to the great epic of 800 warriors to build an empire, every epic can find its stage here. It's more like a huge comic strip standing east of the city of Idiris.

But now people don't have the time or the mood to look at this miracle of human art. What they are more concerned about now is the gladiatorial fights that will take place in the Colosseum.

For a country that founded the country by force and started with war, there is nothing more exciting than a competition in martial arts.

However, Linton, the second prince of Hitivite, had no interest in this gladiatorial fight, and he still teased some beautiful girls outside the city, and only regarded this big arena as another place to find flowers and willows.

Although many people know that this Prince Linton of Hittivita is already the crown champion. But that doesn't affect appreciating other people's games. After all, for Prince Linton, this is just a formality, but for other swordsmen, it is a battle of honor. There are still highlights.

After a series of begging from his attendants, Prince Linton finally gave up flirting with Sister Idiris, and entered the lounge of the Colosseum with a complaining and unhappy face.

"The champions are already mine, what are you urging?" Prince Linton scolded and walked into the lounge. The servants could only nod their heads and ask Prince Linton to bear with them.

Prince Linton sat down on the luxurious soft chair specially prepared for him, crossed his legs, and said, "The Idris are boring, what is there to see in this kind of gladiatorial fight." What a bunch of crazy people to get married. ”

At this time, an Idris knight, who was also preparing, couldn't help but stand up and said, "Prince Linton, will you pay attention to your words? Please respect our Idris customs!"

"What the hell are you!"
