On the day of the founding of the principality.

Grand Duke Howard appeared in a black floor-sweeping robe.

The finances of the collar were tight, and the Grand Duke was reluctant to spend too much money on inconsequential pomp, such as clothing.

He even dyed his hair black again and bleached his teeth with a white fruit juice.

Originally, Carol was to be his scrivener (holding the duchy decrees).

But Carol died, and Howard assigned Arnold, who had done a great job this time, to help him carry it.

The succession etiquette that Bran discussed with his grandfather was the Seven Emperors.

The order of the seven has nothing to do with high or low.

There were seven people, including Simon, Dursley, Amb, Heald, Uller, and Bailey.

Bailey, with the dignity of an earl, took refuge with Bran and others early, and became one of the nobles in charge of the Seven Emperors.

Simon took the crown, and Ambu took the gown and cloak and put it on the Grand Duke.

Bailey handed over the scepter, Heard presented the jade ring to the Grand Duke, and Hilde respectfully the seven-star sword on the line,

The driver is Uller.

He also made meritorious contributions on this expedition and killed many enemies.

On the day of the succession, the nobles of the Duchy of Milan appeared in four colors: gray, black, white, and yellow.

He wore a wool or mink coat and a sword fastened around his waist with a ribbon.

Mainly wool fabrics, or linen, silk is not worn by everyone.

With the exception of the Charman family, only the subordinates of the Five Ministers wore private clothes

There were about 200 people in the temple, both men and women.

They mainly enhance the sense of pomp and circumstance, as well as shouting words like long live when the priests bless.

This time, the priest who invited the blessing, the famous old abbot of the Florentine Middle School invited by Bran - the old priest Franklin.

He was older than Howard and looked old, but he still came in person after receiving Bran's request.

Franklin was known as an honorary clergyman of the peninsula, and although he did not enter Rome to hold a high position, he was regarded as a living saint by the people of northern Italy.

He presided over the ceremony, which was the icing on the cake.

Now that Northern Italy is the sphere of influence of the Duchy of Milan, there are not exactly their own people, including the mountain lords, and the three counts who came to the scene in person and signed a military alliance with Bran.

There are also subordinates on Chai Su's side.

Or more accurately, they were the head of the trio, sent by Uchi.

These knights from Rome were targeted by the clergy of the Order of Illusions, who were secretly observing.

If it weren't for the fear of affecting their friendship with Bran, they would have made a bloody ceremony and killed all of Chai Su's men while they were in chaos.

And Duren was away from Ireland for too long, so he took Paulalin back in advance, otherwise if Duren was there, Brancohui asked Duren to take Uller's place.

When my grandfather came out in a carriage, he was followed by the people of the Seven Emperors.

Today was a good day for my grandfather, Bran rode a black horse behind the Seven Emperors, and his wife rode the Abbasid snow horse on the estate.

Bran also wore a black gown, but he hated long cuffs, tight-fitting clothes, gold pins pinned to his chest, and buffalo leather boots.

A white dragon cloak was also draped over the tights. , now the white dragon is equal to the incarnation of Chaman, and his wife Zoe also uses the same cape.

She wore a loose coat and a light-colored skirt with a loose and elongated collar, and her hair was covered by a headscarf.

Zoe watched the ceremony with him from Byzantium, unimpressed by the scene.

The most pompous thing in the world has to look at the big purple room.

When the emperor succeeded to the throne, he would lead a team near the Grand Palace of Junbao and go around the border for half a day.

With the exception of the emperor, all members of the imperial family, important officials and nobles wore collage-style jeweled sequins.

Every garment is buttoned, so because they also made the twist buckle out of pearl, it can be described as starry.

On the night before his succession, the Grand Duke also asked the priests in his domain to pray that it would not rain.

The sky was clear that day, and the Grand Duke was very satisfied.

The only fly in the ointment is that it is not the Grand Duke of Venice, but the Grand Duke of Milan.

When he left the carriage and stepped into front of him with his legs on the ground, a servant spread a red carpet on the concrete floor and let him walk into the palace without stepping on the mud.

"Kids."

The Grand Duke was the master of Milan, like a parent, and he called all children reasonable.

Except for the priests, who are servants of God, they are not allowed to kneel.

Bran held his pregnant wife and did not kneel, and Marlene, who followed Bran and held the child, did not kneel.

Everyone got down on one knee and shouted, "Long live Your Highness." ”

One race after another, until the Grand Duke was satisfied, he raised his left hand lightly, and everyone slowly got up.

The Grand Duke stepped into the palace hall amid the sound of long live.

The first floor of the Imperial Hall is very spacious and is furnished as a church.

The stone bust of Grand Duke Shange was also transported to the ceremony.

There were 300 Teutonic soldiers outside the Imperial Hall, who were responsible for the security of the ceremony.

They were all people who survived the Battle of Tongxia, and at the moment their wills were high, witnessing the birth of the principality.

Franklin stood at the foot of the cross, and Arnold stood beside him, holding the jurisprudence.

Franklin nodded to Howard, who nodded in response, and walked to the cross and knelt down on one knee.

The succession ceremony of monarchs varies from country to country.

For example, the monarch of a certain place in Eastern Europe would wear old clothes, and on the day of their succession, they would throw away the old clothes and put on new clothes.

Even before succeeding to the throne, he put the crown and sword of the seven royal palaces under the statue, burned incense and prayed, and waited until the day of the succession to take it.

This move indicates that these items of the monarch already contain divinity.

There are also rituals to anoint holy oil, in short, there is a wide variety.

Howard used the simplified succession ceremony of his grandfather, Grand Duke Shange.

After he knelt down on one knee, Franklin then took a copy of the Holy Book and placed it on top of the Grand Duke's head, reciting the words.

"The so-called monarch upholds justice, guarantees peace, and guards the ...... of the Church"

This is the recitation of the priest's blessing and expectation to the monarch on behalf of the Lord.

Howard listened, repeated, and then got up.

The Duchy of Milan is a new duchy of its own creation, which has never been done in history, so the jurisprudence document was also recently printed.

Bran took the best quality gray bamboo, used dozens of pounds of raw materials, and other raw materials to prevent paper from rotting and lambskin.

Make two pieces of fine leather paper that can be preserved for thousands of years, the outer skin is heavy, the middle texture is light and smooth, and it is almost like a baby's skin to the touch.

The text on it was written by Bran himself, not printed, and stamped with the seal of the white dragon of the principality.

After receiving it, the Grand Duke bowed his head to the cross one more time, and then turned to face his subjects.

"From today, the Grand Duchy of Milan will be established, and the white dragon emblem will resound all over the land."

Simon shouted, and a sea of hooray cheers followed.

In the royal hall, Howard's face was ruddy, and the people behind him helped him put on the duke's crown ceremoniously.

This tiara, after Bran unified Northern Italy, began to be made.

The crown is the face of the monarch.

Bran made a skeleton out of gold, topped with a purple gem, and on top of it was lapis lazuli, aquamarine, and diamond.

These gems were obtained during the raid on Mrs. Meghan's house.

As Bran was concentrating on the crown salute, his wife suddenly clenched Bran, and she was a little nervous about the scene.

Bran smiled back, and then touched his wife's belly, everything I have in the future will be your belly child.

Forthwith.

"Bran."

Hearing his grandfather call his name, Bran stood up as the nobles shouted again, "Your Highness." ”

Bran, who was not yet twenty years old, walked slowly.

When he reached his grandfather's presence, Bran bowed to the old abbot and then knelt down on one knee.

Today is the day when the duchy is established and when Bran receives the rightful heir.

"Crown you prince of the principality, give you the seven-star sword, Count of Milan, head of the Teutonic Knights......"

Howard gave all his titles to Bran, leaving only one Duke of Milan, and Bran inherited all his powers, which were then divided among his subordinates.

Those who receive rewards from their own subordinates will hold more orthodox titles.

Although Howard still has bloodline, they are all of illegitimate blood, and their mother is just a lowly woman.

Howard didn't pay attention

Looking at Bran, the eldest prince was very pleased, his grandson was mature, sensible, and capable, and he would definitely be a great monarch in the future.

When Bran was made the crown prince, he was a bird catcher at the back of the Imperial Palace.

Suddenly open the birdcage and release a large number of white pigeons.

Some are fake white pigeons, but they are painted with white paint.

The bird catcher drove away, and the bird panicked and flew high into the air.

The pre-rehearsed drama was another wave of people chanting magic.

The white dove is a bird that symbolizes peace and kindness.

To do so is to create an artificial vision, to add a legend to Bran that God apparitions at the time of his canonization.

Hundreds of white pigeons flew over and laid a lot of bird droppings, which took an hour to clean up afterwards.

Bran held the seven-star sword, and his arrogance increased a few points.

This royal hall was not enough, and one day he would enter St. Benburg in Rome and let the Pope crown him.

But on second thought, isn't this still suppressed by theocracy?

So, Bran thought again, then let the Pope be the chauffeur and the man of the Nine Emperors......
