Dorne doesn't feel much chill in late autumn.

The scorching sun scorched the yellow land, and only the wind on the narrow sea could slightly relieve the heat.

The Spear Tower and the Tower of the Sun, with their characteristic Louena architecture, stand on either side of the Palazzo Vecchio, symbolizing the union of Martell's spear and the sun of Royna.

Today, a large number of Grace nobles gather in the Throne Room of the Tower of the Sun to witness a major political change in Dorne and the birth of a new ruler.

The towering Tower of the Sun has a golden vault and leaded glass, and the sunlight streams through the circular vault, illuminating the pale marble floor.

There were originally two identical seats on the high platform in the throne room, one with the Martell family's golden gun emblem on the back, and the other with the sunset of Roynar. But now, one of the two chairs has been removed, and the rest of the other chair has been replaced with a heraldic of a meteor intersecting a sword.

Of course, the nobles of Dorne knew that it was the coat of arms of the Dain family in Starfall City.

Although Caesar had long guessed that Count Natalie Dayne was going to put him on the throne of the ruler of Dorne, when this scene really came today, the mood of the nobles of Dorne was still extremely complicated.

Of course, no one would oppose Caesar's decision in such a situation.

After three years of war, Dorne is already extremely weak, and the political ecology has changed dramatically.

The Martell family has long since declined in a series of failures and setbacks, and can even be said to have gone against the Dorne nobility.

Now, the Sun Halberd Crest has completely lost its appeal in the hearts of the nobles of Dorne.

A new ruler's coat of arms is not so difficult to accept.

And Dane is also a traditional nobleman of Dorne, his own people, and the proud Dorne people have not been conquered by outsiders.

The Dornites can comfort themselves in this way.

Many of the nobles of Dorne were secretly looking at the countess of Starfall who was standing in the front row, secretly wondering if they could share the supreme power to rule Dorne through marriage.

What's more, the countess was so beautiful and moving.

She wore a dignified and elegant palace dress, exquisite tailoring techniques outlined the perfect curves of her figure, long brown hair pulled into a lady's bun, revealing a swan-like elegant white neck, delicate facial features with amethyst-like eyes, making the young countess the focus of all attention.

However, some intelligent people know that the countess has an ambiguous relationship with the Storm King, and if Natalie is really Caesar's lover, then their idea of marriage is to ask for their own hardships.

The melodious bell rang suddenly.

When the nobles of Dorne came to their senses, they saw the Storm King, dressed in a sky-blue gown, slowly walking into the hall.

Everyone fell silent, and the hall was filled with the sound of Samwell's sonorous footsteps, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.

The nobles of Dorne present were in awe and admiration for the Storm King, who witnessed the miracle of his resurrection on Bloodreef Island, as well as the fact that the other party could stir up the situation in Dorne with only one man and one dragon, and bring the Martell family to their knees.

Such a person is a well-deserved conqueror of Dorne.

So when Caesar showed kindness to the Martells and respect for the power of the House of Dorne, the nobles surrendered with peace of mind.

Under the gaze of everyone, Samwell stepped onto the high platform and turned to stand.

Sunlight shone through the glass dome at the top, creating a pure pillar of light that enveloped Samwell and cast a faint golden halo over him.

His gaze slowly swept over the many nobles, and finally stopped at Natalie, smiling slightly.

"Natalie Dane."

Hearing the Storm King's call, Natalie's heart pounded, and joy mixed with a hint of nervousness exploded in her chest.

She lifted her floor-sweeping dress, climbed the stairs, and came to Samwell and knelt down on one knee:

"Your Majesty Caesar."

Samwell drew the greatsword behind his back, put the blade on Natalie's shoulder, and said in a loud voice:

"I, Samwell Caesar, in the witness of the gods, in the name of the Storm King, canonize Natalie Dane as Duke of Starfall City, and Dorne to protect it. From now on, you will be in charge of the Dorne authorities, leading the nobles of Dorn, and looking after the people of Dorne. ”

Natalie's crisp voice then rang out:

"I, Natalie Dane, swear to the gods in this sacred place that I will take on the responsibility of protecting Dorne from this day forward, and glorify it until the day my life ends."

Samwell withdrew his greatsword, a warm smile reappearing on his face.

He helped Natalie to her feet and led her to the only seat before stepping aside.

Tristan Martell in the high echelons knew it was time to take his own stand.

Even if he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart when he thought that from now on, the authority of the Martell family would be handed over to the Dane family.

But no matter what he thought in his heart, Tristan knew he had no choice.

Caesar had shown enough mercy to the Martell family, but if they were unwilling to cooperate, the fate was destined to be even more miserable.

Tristan took a deep breath, slowly walked out of the crowd, knelt down in front of the high platform, bowed his head and said loudly to the duchess above:

"I, Tristan of House Martell, swear in the name of the Sun Halberd in the presence of the Seven Gods that I am willing to offer unparalleled loyalty to Duke Natalie Dayne."

Before he finished speaking, the young patriarch of the Martell family couldn't stop crying.

But in the end, he completed the allegiance ceremony.

Next, a large number of nobles also stepped forward one after another to swear allegiance to Duke Natalie.

Natalie, sitting on the high platform, responded one by one, accepting their allegiance.

In this process, her heart went from apprehension at the beginning to gradually calm.

Because Natalie knows that no matter what happens, there is always a tall figure behind her to guard her and help her clear all obstacles.

It was the same man who had brought her from the Crimson Mountains to Starfall, and now he had taken her by the hand and led her to the position of the supreme ruler of Dorne.

Natalie admires him, loves him, and follows in his footsteps wholeheartedly.

Even if she doesn't really crave power, and even fears to be the center of attention, Natalie is willing to accept any title if he needs it.

After the allegiance ceremony, Samwell stepped forward again and extended his hand to Natalie.

Natalie smiled and let him lead her down the platform, out of the hall, to the steps of the old palace.

In the square in front of him, thousands of Dorne's people had already gathered.

When they saw Caesar and Natalie, they burst into cheers.

"Your Majesty Caesar!"

"Duke Dane!"

The white dragon Cleopat flew over the square, casting a formidable shadow.

At this moment, the ancient Dornling entered a new era.
