February 13, 1447 in the Holy Calendar, City of the Falling Stars.

For the Kingdom of Falling Stars, which has been founded for thousands of years, today is destined to be a day written in history.

Before dawn, the royal knights wearing armor and red cloaks were fully armed and all of them set out, standing with their swords raised on both sides of the main road connecting the Red Palace and the Falling Star Wharf.

People who had already heard the news through various channels gathered on both sides of the street, and the crowds of people waited curiously and expectantly for the start of the grand ceremony, which may only happen once in decades.

On the outskirts of Falling Star City, the Roman Palace.

As the starting point of the previous coronation ceremonies of the Falling Star Kingdom, preparations were made here as early as half a month ago.

In the lavish palace, Charlotte, who had gotten up early under the service of the maids, had already freshened up and changed into a grand dress.

The gown, which was specially tailored for this coronation, was a tight robe of the golden velvet noble, adorned with a lilac motif symbolizing the House of Romance and the eagle coat of arms of the Castel family.

Outside the robe was a cloak of the same texture, lined with white mink, and on a white mink shawl, a ring of red philosopher's stones from Castel was worn.

I have to say that the impact of suitable clothing on temperament is still quite large, after wearing the dress, Charlotte's age seems to have risen a few years, and with specially raised high heels, she no longer looks like a "thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl", but really seems to be a "sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl".

Looking at her radiant self in the mirror, Charlotte was quite satisfied.

Although she has long been familiar with her outstanding appearance, looking at herself in the mirror at this moment, she can't help but say "She's so good-looking" in her mind.

"Your Majesty, the fleet is ready, the ministers are in place, and according to the schedule of the ceremony, it is time for us to set off."

A respectful voice came from behind him, the Marquis Howard, the head of the court in charge of the coronation.

He was radiant and equally excited, and was clearly looking forward to Charlotte's coronation.

Hearing his words, Charlotte bowed slightly:

"That'...... Let's go. ”

Surrounded by valet and knights of the guard, Charlotte walked out of the palace.

Outside the palace, the great nobles who were directly vassal of the kingdom were already waiting here, including the legendary Sword Saint Duke Gael, the Duke of Aisya who had renounced the throne, and more than a dozen fief counts.

They are the core force of the noble class of the Falling Star Kingdom, and they are also the leaders of the major noble factions.

By the way, Duke West, one of the seven fiefdom dukes, is gone.

Although it has not yet been officially announced, as a traitor, the deprivation of the title of Duke of West is already a sure thing, and the confiscation of the territory into a royal title will also be a logical thing.

"Her Majesty ......"

After seeing Charlotte, the nobles of the Falling Star saluted one after another, bowing their arrogant heads in submission.

Charlotte bowed slightly.

She looked at the flagship of the royal navy fleet decorated with golden sails docked next to the dock, and ordered:

"Aboard!"

In the sound of a salute, Charlotte and the Falling Star Ministers boarded the flagship of the Royal Navy, and the royal fleet that had already been ready fired their guns in unison, escorting the flagship to the Falling Star Harbor.

Ceremony...... It's officially begun.

Let's say that the coronation of the Kingdom of Falling Stars has two main parts.

The first step is to parade for Roman.

The new king will take a warship from the palace pier outside Falling Star City, cruise along the coastline, and finally sail into the inland harbor of Falling Star City.

This is a remembrance of the Romance Conquest, since the pioneers of the Romance family crossed the Star-Moon Strait to conquer the Kingdom of the Falling Stars hundreds of years ago, every new king of the Romance family will be crowned with the "Romance Parade" as the starting point.

This is the pride of the Roman bloodline, and it is also a symbol of the Romance royal power, representing the Romance family's supreme and legitimate rule over the Falling Star Kingdom.

Although Charlotte's surname is not Roman, as a direct descendant of Roman, she inherited the Romance jurisprudence, and it is only natural that she should adopt the Romance system.

Of course, today's Romance parade is a simplified version, and hundreds of years ago, the starting point of the parade even began with the Romandule on the mainland, and the path of Romance conquest was retraced, which required a day and a night on the ship.

Charlotte stood at the bow of the flagship, watching the kingdom that was waiting to be ruled by the majestic fleet of the Roman Conqueror, heading for the city of Falling Star.

The royal fleet sailed into the inland river of Falling Star City, docked at the port, on both sides of the port, thousands of cannons fired in unison, and the huge magic crystal salute roared continuously, exploding in the sky one after another gorgeous magic flowers.

In the eyes of everyone, Charlotte, dressed in a grand dress, walked down the dock, and the nobles who had been waiting here for a long time bowed down to Charlotte:

"Her Majesty ......"

This is a nobleman who is not eligible to accompany him, but is eligible to attend the coronation.

They are numerous, representing the middle class of the noble class of the Falling Star Kingdom, with the highest title being an earl and the lowest being a baron, and they are also the main force of the noble class.

They were dressed in different costumes and of different ages, and as far as the eye could see, they were densely packed and numbered in the thousands.

In addition to the nobles, there were also some foreign envoys who watched the ceremony, because Charlotte's coronation time was relatively tight, and there were not many envoys who visited, mainly the Crescent Kingdom, the Grand Duchy of the North, and the Alliance of City-States of the Luna Coast.

The deafening sound of worship sounded and caused a chain reaction among the crowd of onlookers.

Cheers, praises, one after another.

Obviously, more than half a month is enough time for Charlotte's deeds to spread to every street and alley in Falling Star City.

The Holy Maiden recognized by the Lord, the last Roman's direct bloodline, restrains the bloodline, judges the fallen Church, and brings peace and prosperity to the Falling Star Kingdom......

There are too many halos shrouded in Charlotte, coupled with the cooperation and momentum of the nobles and the Ness clan, under all kinds of publicity, even if she has not officially succeeded to the throne, Charlotte's prestige in the hearts of the people seems to have reached an incredible height.

In the midst of all the attention, Charlotte boarded the royal family's open-top carriage that had been prepared for a long time.

The convoy was mighty, escorted by tall and mighty royal knights, and cruised along the main road of Falling Star City.

Wherever the convoy went, the cheers rang out, and colored bars and flowers were thrown from both sides of the street, paving the entire road, and even Charlotte, who had already been mentally prepared, was inevitably a little excited at this moment.

At this moment, it was as if she was the center of the whole world.

Probably...... That's what power tastes like.

Charlotte said secretly.

Her gaze fell on the onlookers, smiled slightly, and beckoned to them.

Seeing Charlotte's movements, the crowd was slightly stunned, and then erupted into even more enthusiastic cheers.

"Long live Her Majesty!"

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”

“……”

Amid deafening cheers, the convoy headed towards Campbell Cathedral, north of Falling Star City.

The second part of the coronation ceremony is the official coronation ceremony.

In the continent of Miria, the kingdoms of humanity began with the support of the Holy Court, the right of the king was granted by God, and the coronation ceremony was also held in the church.

Campbell Cathedral is the largest, oldest and most famous church in the Kingdom of Falling Stars, where the coronations of successive Falling Star Kings have been held.

Charlotte also did not violate the "ancestral system".

When the caravan came to the church, the priests were already waiting outside the church, and when they saw Charlotte's carriage, they drew a ring cross on their chests, and then saluted respectfully.

Looking at the priests with respectful postures, the nobles who were traveling with them looked strange.

The priesthood of the Holy Court is transcendent, especially in this kind of cathedral where even the king has to pay homage to three points.

On the day of the coronation, not to mention the high-ranking priests, even the lowest-ranking priests, in fact, do not need to salute the king.

But now......

Looking at the priests whose posture was even lower than their own, the nobles didn't know what to say.

But again, no one raised any objections.

None of them.

Who made this one crowned today more than just the queen of the falling stars.

The status of the saint is transcendent, even in front of the chief priest of the clerical state, there is no need to bow in front of the priest, as the god favored by the gods, it is natural for the priests to bow to Charlotte.

Charlotte is also not hypocritical.

She was saluted by the priests and then entered the church, surrounded by nobles and clergy.

The main hall of the church, the altar of the ceremonial rite, is ready.

The first is the royal blessing.

With the help of the priests, Charlotte took off her cloak and took the king's attire from the head of the court, Marquis Howard, and placed them on the altar one by one.

These include the King's Cloak as a symbol of status, the Jeweled Scepter as a symbol of power, the Romance Sword as a symbol of blood, the Ring of the Falling Star as a symbol of the Royal Treasury and the Teleportation Circle, and the Orb of Throne as a symbol of domination and the ability to remotely connect with magic towers from around the world.

The priests chanted the congratulatory messages of the Holy Law and prayed to the gods for blessings on the king's attire on the altar.

This step symbolizes the report on the ascension of the new king of the gods to the throne and the recognition of the gods for the throne of the falling stars.

With the prayers of the priests, the light descended on the altar and gilded the king's garb with a white-gold glow.

Charlotte bowed her head silently, and then quietly used the magic countermeasure to pull the blessing.

No way.

She'll have to use these things in a while.

Although this blessing is only temporary and harmless, it is indispensable to burn when held in the body of the blood clan.

Of course, no one noticed her little movements.

After the blessing, it is time to apply the holy oil.

The holy oil is usually kept in the cathedral, and on the eve of the coronation it is sent by the priest.

Unlike Blue Star, Miria's holy oil is truly holy oil, rich in divine power.

At this step, the priest will apply the holy oil to the fixed parts of the new king's body, symbolizing the connection between the royal power and the divine power, as well as the blessings and approval of the gods for the new king.

This is the holiest step in the coronation.

However, the priest in charge of the oil was visibly nervous and a little hesitant.

The new king must have been anointed with a priest of status, a duty that had been the responsibility of successive Campbell High Priests.

But now that Campbell's archpriest has been sent, a new archpriest has not been chosen.

Although the priest in charge of this matter is also a blazing-sun level high priest and has the highest status in the church, Charlotte's status is too special.

When facing Charlotte, a saint certified by the gods, the priest was obviously under a lot of pressure.

From the point of view of royal power, he had no problem applying holy oil at all.

But from a theocratic point of view......

As a surrogate of the gods, no one is qualified to anoint Charlotte with holy oil.

Charlotte looked clear.

She was not hypocritical, she directly picked up the holy oil and applied it to herself.

This scene stunned the nobles, priests, and envoys of various countries who watched the ceremony.

But soon they reacted, and their expressions returned to normal.

This kind of transgression is blasphemous to the gods to be done by other new kings, but Charlotte, who is a saint, is to do it...... Seemingly, there is no problem at all.

As is customary, Charlotte applied the oil to her head, chest, shoulders, between her shoulders, and on her arms, and finally on her hands.

Sting.

It's stinging.

However, the Blood Sacred Scripture moved slightly, and all these divine powers were absorbed.

When the holy oil was applied, the priests breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, the Marquis Howard, the head of the court, handed the red king's cloak to Charlotte, and the priest put it on Charlotte.

The High Priest placed the Ring of the Falling Star on Charlotte and placed the Jewel Scepter in her right hand and the Orb of Kings in her left hand.

As for the Sword of Roman...... The girl didn't let anyone touch it, but flew directly to Charlotte's side, conjured a scabbard around her waist and drilled into it.

After the king's attire is dressed, it is time to take the oath with the crown.

The priests soon took the Falling Star Crown.

It was a golden crown made of pure gold, with alternating crosses and lilacs, and two arches, and the interior was purple velvet, set with 777 red, purple and blue gemstones, which looked magnificent.

Looking at the crown and then at Charlotte, the archpriest in charge of the coronation hesitated again.

Charlotte looked at him and chuckled.

She reached out and lifted the crown in the somewhat subtle gaze of the high priest, and then put it on her head.

At this scene, the expressions of the nobles were even more strange, but when Charlotte got up, they quickly bowed their heads and saluted respectfully.

Wearing a tiara, a red king's cloak, and a treasure orb and scepter, Charlotte walked across the red carpet and finally sat on the king's throne, which had been set up in advance.

Taking a deep breath, Charlotte read out the King's Oath prepared in advance, to the effect of guaranteeing peace and justice, protecting the nobility and the church, and upholding the orthodox faith.

Of course, this oath is not a "contractual oath" in the true sense of the word.

At the height of the Divine Court hundreds of years ago, the oath of the new king after his accession to the throne was a contract oath that could not be violated in the true sense, but hundreds of years have passed, the divine power has shrunk, and the royal power has grown, and now the oath of the new kings of various countries has long been just a formality.

After the oath is taken, the last ceremony is over.

In the church, all the nobles and priests who watched the ceremony saluted Charlotte respectfully and shouted three times:

"Praise be to the holy! God bless the falling stars! God bless Her Majesty Charlotte! ”

"Praise be to the holy! God bless the falling stars! God bless Her Majesty Charlotte! ”

"Praise be to the holy! God bless the falling stars! God bless Her Majesty Charlotte! ”

“……”

……

On February 13, 1447 in the sacred calendar, Charlotte de Castel was crowned King of Falling Star City as Queen Charlotte.

Because she is the holy daughter of the holy court, she is also known as the queen of the gods.
