Quiet life always flies by, and the next morning's arrival comes as promised.

Today, however, the Imperial Capital is a little different, with many people flocking to the Britannia Cathedral.

In fact, every emperor of Britannia was crowned by the Pope a long time ago, and they considered themselves the inheritors of the Holy Roman Empire, so they also inherited some customs of the Roman Empire.

So the full name of the country is also called the Holy Britannian Empire.

The so-called "emperor" is actually a kind of translation of a close word.

Emperor is a word invented by Qin Shi Huang, taken from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, after he ruled the world, he thought that "virtue and three emperors, merit of the five emperors" and then called himself "emperor", only the land of China has this title.

The title of the supreme ruler of the Roman Empire, which is transliterated as "Augustus" in Latin, is transliterated as "Augustus", which should be translated as "divine greatness".

The name of the supreme ruler of the Britannian Empire was Augustus.

But in Alicia's great-grandfather's generation, they reformed Britannia's own religion, abolishing most of the hierarchy and establishing a system of elders to allow more believers to govern the church, and the elders voted together to elect a leader as the "supreme bishop"

The pope of the church in Britannia, the emperor of Britannia, also represents the divine right of kings, and the church has become a tool in the hands of the royal family, and since then, the imperial power has overwhelmed the church.

So from that time on, the coronation of the emperor was basically not presided over by the supreme leader of the church.

This was the first time in more than 100 years that a church had been appointed or dismissed in Britannia, so it attracted many people to watch.

Britannia Cathedral, also known as Baal Cathedral, was built by the first emperor and modeled after the Vatican churches.

There is a large square at the entrance of the church, which serves as a center of activity for the people.

The square is surrounded by two semi-curved corridors, each supported by 284 tall stone columns, with 142 statues of the most famous saints in the history of the Church.

The statue in the middle of the square is flanked by a beautiful fountain, which symbolizes the water of life that God has given to the faithful.

Alicia had only been here when she was very young, and she rarely came since she became blind.

Coming here again, even if she has seen a lot of beautiful natural scenery and even soared in the sky, she can't help but feel emotional about this grand scene.

Those beautiful scenery represent the magic of nature, and these buildings symbolize the splendor and prosperity of human civilization.

The exterior of the cathedral is magnificent, with a façade of 115 meters wide and a height of 45 meters, with the center line as the axis and symmetrical on both sides, with 8 columns standing symmetrically in the middle, 4 square columns on both sides, 5 gates between the columns, and 3 balconies on 2 floors.

The middle one is called the Blessing Balcony, the door of the balcony is closed on weekdays, and the Supreme Episcopal Church appears on the blessing balcony on major religious festivals to bless the believers.

The flat roof of the church stands in the middle of the crucifixion, and the tall dome is decorated with many elaborate decorations.

The gate on the left side of the cathedral is guarded by special guards, they are tall and burly, wearing ancient knightly costumes with red, yellow and blue stripes, holding halberds, very majestic.

The gate is wide open, standing in the square, if you have better eyesight, you can directly see the inside of the church, which is also deliberately designed, in order to allow more people to see the enthronement ceremony and see the divine right of the Britannian emperor.

The interior of the church was already crowded with worshippers, as well as men and women dressed in military uniforms and ornate aristocratic costumes.

Supreme Bishop Puni is already waiting with the edict of canonization.

It was a Mediterranean man who looked to be in his sixties, bald, fat, big-eared, with some old spots on his face, looking very kind, and wearing a pure white teaching uniform.

Alicia came late, so she didn't find a good place, but she brought the farsighted glasses made by Arthur so that she could see the scenery farther away.

He made it so that he could see the scenery of the earth more clearly in the sky, using the principle of a telescope.

So she could clearly see the faces of everyone inside the church.

"Nearly half of the nobles of all Britannia came." Alicia said.

This is a very exaggerated number, you know, there are many nobles who are not in the imperial capital.

Britannia is such a vast country that it can be hundreds of kilometers away to drive a few hundred kilometers.

"Not surprisingly." Isabel said, "When my father was in office, he always wanted to recover the land in the hands of the nobles and limit their power, and Victor also used this to befriend a group of nobles. ”

Alicia nodded.

While they were communicating, the people around them were also exchanging ears, and some words also reached their ears.

"What's going on recently, Her Majesty Moria has just died, Empress Isabel's health is obviously fine, but she will be unwell as soon as she succeeds to the throne, and the West Français Empire and the Spanish Empire have also declared war on Britannia together.

It's like all the bad things are coming together. ”

"Who knows."

"You say, could it be that you were punished by God because you didn't fear the gods?"

"Don't dare to say that."

"What are you afraid of, is it possible that a big man of this level will deliberately eavesdrop on us?"

"Eh, let's hope Prince Victor can turn the situation around."

Listening to the traffic of the people around her, Isabel's face gradually became gloomy.

In this day and age, the vast majority of civilians are apolitical, and they don't say these things.

"With these idle thoughts, how good it would be to go to the south to fight with the Western Empire." Isabel said.

Alicia was silent.

As they talked, the main road leading to the church had been cleared by the army, and a group of soldiers in military uniforms had divided the crowd by acting as a "human wall".

Alicia looked in.

At the end of the street, a group of guards dressed in medieval red costumes appeared in front of everyone's eyes, loaded with guns.

Then came a royal carriage, with tall and majestic horses, their manes meticulously groomed, lavishly decorated, inlaid with gold threads, and glittering in the sun.

The carriage was also gorgeous gold, very high, and hollowed out, very luxurious, allowing the nobles sitting on it to overlook the people around them.

When a man in a military uniform and a ribbon appeared, there was thunderous applause everywhere, and the sound of the band playing resounded in the sky.

"Hello Prince Victor! Hello Prince Victor! ”

The crowd was agitated, praising the man in the carriage as if they were going crazy.

Alicia looked at the person who had just spoken beside her with tears in her eyes, threw her hat up, and screamed in the same hoarse voice.

Man is a herd creature, and with the excited praise of this part of the people, the people around them are also infected and begin to shout Victor's name.

He sat in a splendid carriage, his medallion shining in the sun, smiling and waving to the people around him.

Looking at his pro-people appearance, the cheers of the people around him became even louder.

Victor's military talent is very high, he has been resisting the invasion of the Western Empire in the south, he has a lot of military achievements, and has a certain reputation in the empire.

Of course, the people Victor planted in this place played a big role in setting off the atmosphere.

Isabel watched all this coldly, she looked at Victor sitting in the carriage, and spoke slowly.

"After my mother's death, my father has actually been investigating the murderer behind the scenes, but we have never asked about the specific situation.

Not long ago, when I was on the throne, the secret police in charge of investigating the matter told me some clues that they had come up with over the years.

The background of the trained maid was not actually qualified to enter the palace at all, but someone threatened the head of the staff in charge of recruiting the maid.

His daughter was kidnapped by the robbers, and the robbers would let him go only if they did what they said.

At the time of the accident, the governor committed suicide by poisoning, and his daughter's body was found shortly after.

Not a single strand was abandoned in the mountains, and most of it was eaten by wild beasts.

But the secret police still found some clues, and the dead girl was cut in the throat.

The method of cutting the throat is very special, and only a special tribe in southern Britannia knows it.

Most of the people of these tribes are in the secret units of the Southern Army of Britannia. ”

Alicia's pupils contracted slightly, and she looked up at Victor in the carriage.

Isabel's voice was low, "That is, he is the biggest suspect, but so far, we don't have any particularly direct evidence." ”

Victor's carriage moved slowly, as if to make his appearance as visible to the people as possible.

Eventually, however, the carriage reached the door of the church, and he slowly stepped out of it, and the attendant at his side brought him a velvet knight's cloak and draped it over him.

He strode in with confident steps, and then, half-kneeling, before the Supreme Bishop.

The emperor can sit directly on the throne and be crowned by the supreme bishop, but the canonization of the regent is obviously insurmountable.

Puni slowly opened the edict in his hand, which was written in Isabel's voice, in Old English, so there was a feeling of speaking classical Chinese.

Roughly speaking, she said what had happened recently, and then said that the empire was in turmoil at the moment, but she couldn't do it.

For the sake of the people and future of Britannia, it was decided to put more virtuous people in power.

Victor listened patiently to Puni's barrage, because eventually, it would be his favorite part.

"Now the son of Guardian III, Prince Victor has meritorious service in protecting the country, governing the country in a good way, his name is in the world, and his merit is in the future. Oh yes! ”

Hearing this, an imperceptible smile appeared on Victor's calm face, for him, this scene he had waited too long.

Although he is only the regent now, in his opinion, this is just a prelude to his real ascension to the throne, and it is only a matter of time.

From a plate on one side, Puni took out a crown that symbolized the power of the regent and prepared to place it on Victor's head.

Alicia took a deep breath, turned her head and said, "Let's go, there's no point in looking any further." ”

Isabel was also a little depressed, there was nothing more painful than witnessing the enemy's pleasure and she couldn't do anything about it, and to be honest, she already regretted coming here a little.

Isn't it nice to look at the scenery in the courtyard of the castle?

"Bell Bell~, Bell Bell~"

At this moment, the morning church bell in her ears caught Alicia's attention, and she turned her head to see that the church bell began to shake and ring automatically.

"Bell Bell~, Bell Bell~"

The rhythm is light and the bells are melodious.

People looked up in confusion.

Then, people were amazed to find that above the sky, countless snow-white, holy feathers swayed and fell like snow.

Alicia raised her hand to try to catch the feathers, but the feathers disappeared as soon as they landed on hers
