It was an ordinary early morning.

Outside the window, the faint residual fog had thinned, and the skin could feel the clammy air flow slowly passing by. A faint ray of sunlight pierced through the early morning mist and into the small garden. The buds curled up in the night are quietly stretching the petals, and on the leaves of the flowers and plants, the crystal dew that is gradually forming is reflecting the brilliance of this golden light...... This qiē is exactly the same as any other morning.

It was also a special early morning.

As soon as the bell rang to open the city, a group of Royal Guard soldiers wearing armor and robes walked out of dozens of camps, and in the sound of neat footsteps, their figures gradually filled the streets and alleys of the city. As soon as the bell that echoed over the city ended, the gate of the holy capital was slowly opened, and the army was also assembled outside the city gate, with swords and guns, regular clothes and armor, and there were twenty phalanxes!

Through the cracks in the doors and windows, the residents of the Holy Capital observe this qiē, and now the residents of the city are honored to participate in this special festival. Most of them stayed up all night, dressed in festive costumes early, waiting for the curfew to be lifted.

In the palace, several civil officials looked nervous by the timer, and checked the official documents in their hands for the last time.

The magical energy infused into the timer flows slowly in the transparent circular pipe, and the magic crystal at the bottom is constantly changing color due to the influence of energy. When the magic crystals under all the timers turned pure sky blue, an official staring at the water leak said, "It's time." ”

"It's time. Several officials looked at each other and nodded to indicate that it was okay.

An older, senior civil servant turned around and cautiously glanced at the paper in his hand. Then he shouted to the officers on the side, "Order—start hoisting the flag!"

A dozen winged guard officers flew up along the dozen or so towers of the palace. When you reach the top. With a wave of the red flag, the huge flags tied to the sides of each tower were untied and lowered, and the "bang" unfolded.

On the left is the flag of the original royal family Xia Mai family, and on the right is the flag of the current royal family Kaida family, the huge flag flutters in the morning breeze, and the rays of sunlight hit it, flashing a little golden light.

The silent order had been issued, and all the high-rise buildings in the Holy Capital City had flown these two flags almost simultaneously, one along the square, along the street, and along the river. The whole city is turned into a sea of flags!

They fluttered majestically in the wind, majestically fluttered in the rising sun, and countless soldiers who had fought bloodily for these two flags looked up, although they only stared in silence, but they remembered this scene with tears in their eyes.

On this continent of Bis, how many people can personally participate in the construction of a dynasty and witness its success! Whether it is the descendant of a noble noble, or the son of an obscure commoner, or even a foreign race worthy of being a slave in other countries, they are all fully qualified to be proud of themselves and proud of this new empire!

A majestic drum beat echoed over the city. The curfew in the Holy Capital was lifted.

Impatient residents are flocking out of their homes and from various urban districts to the city center. After a while, the square in front of the palace was full of people, and even the streets in and out were crowded with people on both sides. Under the command of the city officials, the garrison was fully dispatched, and it took great difficulty to maintain the order of the scene and ensure the smooth access of the road.

The carriages of the guests drove out of several post houses, merged into the aristocratic traffic on the streets, and slowly drove towards the square in front of the palace, feeling the warm atmosphere of the entire holy capital along the way.

In a luxurious carriage with the symbol of the Tanxi Empire, Carl in a gown. Prince Ulysses sat in the back row, and in this festive atmosphere, his calm and contemplative expression seemed a little too indifferent, and there was even a hint of sternness in his gaze at the people on the street.

The carriage slowed down as it passed a corner in the street, and the prince's musings were interrupted by a few shouts of overly affectionate affection. He looked up and saw Sevik, the messenger of the Porta Empire. Lando was waving to himself in his carriage. In normal times, with the temper of the prince himself, he would not have dealt with such a hairy boy, but now, after all, this young man is the emissary of the Porta Empire, Karl. Prince Ulysses has always maintained a moderate level of intimacy.

Out of politeness, the prince nodded slightly.

Severik. Landau laughed, pulled the door and jumped down, and walked directly to the prince's carriage, and just as the prince was expecting him to say something and leave, the young man who was not very likable reached out and knocked lightly on the door.

"When it came to the Sbia Empire, the younger generation was looking to Cohen. "The prince motioned to his attendant to open the car door and greeted Severk, who had come up. "We are envoys of two empires, and it is not good to have such frequent contact. ”

"Look, I don't know what Majesty Cohen is talking about, and everyone can say that they are the same kind of people! He definitely doesn't blame me. Besides, being able to sit in the same carriage with my former boss gives me more capital to show off when I return home, isn't it?" Lando smiled and joked: "Your Excellency, is your leg okay?"

"It's not a big problem! The prince moved his feet: "After all, he is old, and it is not right to move." ”

"Don't, don't talk about this, if it weren't for your blow, Cohen's Majesty would have been even more dangerous yesterday. "Severik. Lando shook his hands very exaggeratedly: "By the way, didn't His Majesty Cohen say anything to thank you?"

"I went back to the inn after my treatment and didn't get a chance to see His Majesty Cohen. The Prince shook his head and replied, "Although they are different empires, His Majesty Cohen is the king of the alliance, and in that case I have no reason not to help, there is nothing to boast about." For the same reason, Majesty Cohen didn't need to say anything to me. ”

"That's right! No one would have thought that the Gallo Empire would come to this end, and if yesterday's events took a turn for the worse, we would all be in danger -!" The more Lan Du spoke, the more angry he became, and slapped his palm on the armrest: "But His Royal Highness, this complicated situation at the moment. What attitude should we take towards it?"

The prince looked at Severk. Lando at a glance. Rhetorical question: "Your Excellency also represents an empire." Don't you understand how to deal with it?"

"To be honest, no one taught me what to do in this situation, all I learned was to eat, drink and have fun. "Severik. Lando simply played the scoundrel: "Your Royal Highness, don't torture me anymore! Give your subordinates a Jianyi! Who dares to guarantee that His Majesty Cohen will not link this matter to the Porta Empire in his heart? Especially those stupid nobles in our country are still entangled with the remnants of the rebels......

"At present, His Majesty Cohen naturally has his thoughts in his heart, he is an emperor who likes to make his own ideas, we don't need to make a noise to arrange a qiē for His Majesty Cohen. The prince sighed: "Look at the tone of His Majesty Cohen and then talk about it! ”

"In this way, the Gallo Empire has some blood this time. They deserve it. "Severik. Lando nodded thoughtfully, "But then again, it's really hard to be a neighbor of the Spya Empire. ”

Listened to Severik. Lando's words, the prince couldn't help laughing: "Are you working hard? I see that you are doing a very good job!"

"Your Royal Highness also knows that I am a very playful person, and if it weren't for my cousin, who grew up together, I wouldn't have done this chore. "Severik. Lando smiled awkwardly: "My idea is actually very simple, since it is bitter, it is even more necessary for me to have fun in suffering, right, Prince?"

"I also know a little about your country. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with your help, will surely be smooth sailing. "Severik. Lando yelled hard work. The prince didn't blame him yet: "As for the remnants of the rebels, you should try your best to solve it, His Majesty Cohen can tolerate it for a while, but it is impossible to tolerate it for a lifetime." ”

"I know that it is precisely because of the difficulty of this matter that the prince recommended me to be an envoy to Spia, wanting to use the good relationship between me and His Majesty Cohen to ease the conflict. "Severik. Lando snorted coldly: "As for those people, do they dare to come?"

This is the business of the Porta Empire itself, and the prince smiled and did not speak.

It was almost time to reach the square, and on the street, several guards in new black uniforms were directing the carriage to stop on the side of the street, and the coachman was shouting and pulling the reins, and the carriage came to a stop.

"Excuse me. An officer of the garrison on a horse came to the side of the carriage and gave a military salute: "On the carriage is Karl of the Tanxi Empire." His Royal Highness Prince Ulysses?"

"It's me. The prince replied, "Major, is there something wrong with you?"

"The lower official received an order from the internal affairs superintendent. The officer of the garrison replied, "His Royal Highness was injured by stopping the assassins, and it is not convenient to walk, please enter directly by carriage." ”

With that, the officer planted a small flag in front of the prince's carriage.

"I'm tired. The prince nodded to the officer, and the carriage began again, passing the nobles and messengers on foot, all of whom were gathered in astonishment on the carriage.

At these complicated gazes, the prince's expression was very calm, but his brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing the Prince's expression, Severk. Lando was a little puzzled: "Your Royal Highness, it's good to get such treatment!

"I would be glad if this order had been given by Cohen!" replied the prince calmly, "but I have not met with several of the Interior Overseers, and they seem to have crossed the line in their courtesy to me......"

"How so?"

"Look around, are there any other carriages besides ours, what would you think if you were an envoy from another country on foot?"

"I, such a courtesy, my general idea is that the Tanxi Empire and the Sibia Empire wear a pair of pants...... "Sevik." Lando replied, suddenly shouting, "I'm in the carriage too!"

"Yes, Your Excellency is also in this carriage, congratulations, you have also put on a pair of pants with Spia. The prince smiled faintly: "These internal affairs overseers! They seem to be very powerful, and you will inevitably have to deal with them in the future, so be careful yourself! Don't think that the other party is a woman and be careless." ”

Severik. Lando wanted to complain something, but the carriage had already reached its destination, and under the sophisticated shouts of the coachman, the carriage came to a steady stop under the viewing platform. A mighty soldier of the Guards stepped forward and opened the door for them, and before the two of them got out of the car, the civilian official in charge of the reception led them to the VIP seat.

"Forget it, it's not bad to be able to sit in this VIP seat, and when His Majesty Cohen comes out, you can see me so sincere at first sight. After taking a look at the surroundings of the viewing platform. Severik. Lando seemed pleased with his treatment. He exhaled. Give yourself a step down: "As for what the other messengers think of me...... You can't please both sides. ”

The prince could only smile at his generosity, beckoned to the receiving officials, and asked about the arrangements for the celebration.

"Wait a minute, His Majesty the Emperor will be crowned in the main palace, and only our officials will participate. The official explained: "After that, I will go out of the palace to participate in military parades and celebrations, and later there will be a banquet for the Prime Minister, and in the evening there will be a palace ball." ”

"It's a very tight arrangement!" said Severk. Lando said: "I really want to see His Majesty Cohen receive the crown with my own eyes, he must be very energetic today." Speaking of which, the first time we met, I felt like I could be friends with His Majesty Cohen......"

"That is a special honor for the civil and military officials of the Sibia Empire. The prince glanced at the nasty ghost beside him: "As for you, I now order you in the name of the retired commander-in-chief of the coalition forces to be quiet." ”

"Yes, sir. "Severik. Lando nodded in reply, but his wandering eyes showed that he hadn't listened to the prince at all.

The current palace is also overcrowded.

Because of the assassination of the Emperor yesterday, the guards are very tight today, and the sentinels roaming around the palace are all battle-hardened guards. After a particularly strict check, guests participating in the coronation ceremony are allowed to enter the palace gates.

The nobles of Spia, the governors of the provinces, the officers of the legions, the officials of the interior, and even the chiefs of the alien races. Thousands of people stood in the square in front of the Royal Chambers, waiting for the ceremony to begin. Cohen waiting. The appearance of Al Qaeda.

On the council building platform, Tiff. Lorenzo stood in the middle of a group of civil servants, looking up at the rising sun, looking around with some uneasiness...... Cohen. Kaida should be out, there are still a lot of things to do today! If it is not done well, the emperor's enthronement ceremony will leave a laughing stock!

In the harem, a secluded courtyard, in a dimly lit main hall, Cohen, who was complained by the dean. Al Kaida was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed. The door was closed, the windows were closed, and only a magic lamp was lonely and shining outward, and the faint light seemed a little powerless compared to the darkness of the hall.

Cohen's whole person was sunk in the outline of the chair, his head slightly raised, his fingers unconsciously rubbing back and forth on the armrest, although he was in a dark room, his whole person was shining, or rather, Cohen occupied all the light in this space. Anyone, from any angle, can clearly see that this stern face is composed of resolute lines.

The Emperor's gown was propped up on a shelf and placed next to Cohen, and the clothes that the Dragon Elder had given him earlier were once again improved into a close-fitting shirt.

A faint noise came from outside the courtyard, and Cohen's eyes twitched a few times before slowly opening.

Someone was knocking on the door, and the white shadow hidden in the corner walked over and asked, then pulled the door open. The light from the outside casts on the smooth floor, creating a bright spot of light. Stepping on this angular strip of light, four dressed princesses walked in, their gentle smiles on their faces as if they were still wrapped in the warm sunshine outside the door.

Philene walked up to Cohen's side: "Husband, everyone is waiting for you." ”

"I know. Cohen nodded, "It's not time yet." ”

"But it takes time to change clothes!" Kelly grabbed the corner of her skirt and walked briskly, she rarely wore a full dress like today, feeling a little less spicy, a little more delicate: "Why do you want to stay here? We've been looking for you for a long time!"

A smile appeared on Cohen's lips: "I'm learning to calm myself, don't you think I'm calm now?"

"Calm?" Dill exaggeratedly put the back of his hand on his forehead: "If you stay in this dark place for a long time, I am afraid that you will become more withdrawn." ”

"You won. Cohen gave a thumbs up to Diere: "My Dill is getting better and better now." ”

"Offended!" Dill laughed, "How is the speech prepared by the husband?"

"When do I need a speech?" Cohen glanced at the unopened scroll on several cases: "Soldiers, officers, officials, nobles...... They're gathered around me not because of any speech, but because I'm Cohen. Al Qaeda. ”

"Okay, don't you know you're great?" Kelly pulled Cohen up from her chair, "change your clothes." ”

Winsley had already taken the gown, and the four princesses took matters into their own hands, changing Cohen's outfit while talking about the itinerary. After getting ready, the imperial concubines accompanied Cohen to the main palace.

When he passed by his residence, he saw Princess Qinlun holding a wreath in one hand and dragging a crow with the other, walking with difficulty on the way to the door. Princess Qinlun wore a blue silk satin dress with lilac streamers dragging on her waist, and a headdress given to her by a crow in her hair, with a very serious expression on her face.

After a night's rest, the crow's face was much better, he had already changed his clothes, and he was dragged away by the little overlord with a heavy expression.

Looking at the frustration on his way as he walked with his head down, he seemed to regret that he didn't find a cloth towel to cover his face.

"What?" Cohen walked a few quick steps closer to them, "Baby Clenn is going out for a walk with Brother Crow?"

"Ahhhh

"It's a beautiful garland, Jean Lun must have been doing it for a long time, right?" Philin carefully crouched down, took Chinlen's hand and said, "But today, Brother Cohen has to wear something else!

"Although she can't speak yet, she also seems to know that today is important to you. The crow, with her head down, looked up at Cohen and resumed her indifferent tone: "She spent a lot of time making it up. ”

Cohen screamed in his heart, and the crow's impression of Felin must have been extremely bad.

"It's okay! It's good to wear that kind of metal thing, how can you have this garland to wear comfortably?" Cohen took a flower from the wreath and put it on his left chest: "When you can't wear a wreath, can you replace it with this flower?"

Qin Lun nodded as if he didn't understand.

"I'm glad to see you here. Cohen stood up and looked at the crow, "Are you going with me?"

The crow shook his head: "I'm not used to standing in a conspicuous place, I can just watch from a distance." ”

"I know you're not used to it, you don't like to be seen. Cohen smiled wryly and turned to the guards, "Go get my spare armor." ”

The room was close at hand, and the armor was quickly taken.

"This is the only white armor I have, which can be adjusted to fit your body shape, I haven't used it yet, and I'm giving it to you. Cohen stroked the delicate pieces of his armor and whispered to the crow, "I think you've been thinking about it all night, and if you're determined to go, I can't stop you." Put on this armor, and the owner of this armor can walk freely in the land of Spia. Whether you stand by my side or walk out of the palace, I respect your choice. ”

The crow took the armor in silence, his gaze wandering: "Why are you willing to let me go?"

"I've said it many times, I want you to stay. Cohen said plainly and solemnly: "If I still can't keep you, it means that I still have a lot of shortcomings, not qualified to keep you, and it also means that there are still many things out there that attract you...... As your friend, I want you to live happily and freely, that's all. ”

With a smile, Cohen calmly turned around and strode towards the main palace. (To be continued......)
