Chapter 68: Enthronement Ceremony
"Uh......h Woo...... Woo......!"
The sound of a high horn sounded in the city of Arte, and after being designated as the new royal capital, the whole city was transformed in a short time to welcome the enthronement of Riches, and countless colorful flags were hung in the streets, and the faces of the inhabitants were dressed in festive costumes with happy smiles.
"It's coming! It's coming!"
On the main road of Yate City, dozens of royal knights dressed in red and colorful horses rode high-headed horses, holding halberds held high, and lined up in two mighty rows to enter the eyes of the residents of the new royal capital, behind them was a white open-top carriage pulled by four white horses, Riches Riches wearing white as the main tone of the workmanship of the queen sat on the back seat of the carriage and waved to the people around with a friendly smile, Ouyang Yu sat next to Riches in silver armor with gold stripes, the cloak of the big red two-headed dragon looked very heroic behind the armor, and behind the carriage were the carriages of other meritorious officials。
As part of the ceremony, the street parade is a key event, which means that the people can get a glimpse of the new king, starting from the palace at 10 a.m. to circle the royal capital, returning to the palace two hours later, and holding the coronation ceremony at the palace at 12 o'clock sharp.
More than 100 meters away, this is the only way to parade, a large number of soldiers lined up on the side of the road with weapons to block the somewhat excited people from the side of the street, the soldiers sweating profusely to maintain order, in the window of the second floor of a house they could not see, there was a pair of hateful eyes staring at the approaching procession.
"Your Royal Highness, is it time to start preparing?"
A voice rang out in the room, and the owner of the voice was Quaides, a die-hard member of the former chief of the palace guard, and the person he asked was Kaul's eldest son, Bob Bush. C. Zeger.
Before the decisive battle of the royal capital, Kaul ordered Quades to forcibly take away Bob and his sister who wanted to stay, Bob, who escaped from the royal capital, originally planned to go to a nobleman's house who was secretly loyal to Kaul to hide and wait for news, when Kaul died in battle (external publicity) After the king was razed to the ground, Bob, who inherited his father's explosive character, overturned the previous plan of lurking first and then making a comeback, and insisted on assassinating Riches and Ouyang Yu to avenge Kaul despite everyone's opposition.
Bob's assassination plan was not favored by most people, and many people slipped away overnight, and since then they have lived incognito.
Bob was furious when he heard the news, but he was helpless, but he still insisted on his assassination plan, and infiltrated the city of Art with his sister, brother-in-law, his sixteen-year-old daughter, his sister's fourteen-year-old son, Quaids, and less than fifty diehards who had been raised since childhood.
Because Riches has been living in the palace and the palace is heavily guarded, Ouyang Yu rarely shows up, and Bob has no chance at all, after learning that Riches will parade on the throne, he was overjoyed, and sneaked into this house two days before the parade to prepare for assassination.
After hearing Quedes' inquiry, Bob nodded and left from the window, Quedes walked to the window and took out a white handkerchief and shook it out of the window, which was a code sign to prepare for action, white is preparation, red is the beginning.
One person from each of the other three nearby dwellings stood by the window and stared at the window where Bob was, and nodded slightly nervously at the shaking white handkerchief to several other accomplices in the room, each of whom had a military crossbow, wound it, and put the crossbow arrows into the firing slot, waiting for the next order.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead. ”
Ouyang Yu, who was sitting next to Ryches, watched every move of Bob and others at any time through ghosts, with tens of thousands of ghosts, her detection ability increased greatly, and Bob and others were discovered by her not long after they entered Art City, but Ouyang Yu did not take action immediately, but put a long line to catch big fish, wanting to see who else would contact Bob now, but until today, only two or three small fish have secretly been to Bob's residence, and no heavyweights have been found, it seems that the nobles in the Kadesh Kingdom have died to Kaul, and they don't have the idea of being a strange commodity like Duke Simon。
Ouyang Yu waved his hand and beckoned a guard to him and said, "It's time to close the net." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. The guards took the order, and soon the bell of the cathedral in the city rang, usually the church bell is not mined until the hour, but today everyone including Bob thought that the bell was ringing at this time to celebrate the new king's accession to the throne, except for a special group of people.
Six people in hooded robes mixed in the crowd and looked at each other after hearing the bell, and then sneaked into the first floor of Bob's house very covertly, took out a small round shield and short sword from the robe, and walked cautiously towards the second floor.
Stepping on the stairs and glancing at the corpses of the master's family who were thrown at the bottom of the stairs, the steps of the six people who were already very light became lighter, and it took five minutes to complete the more than a dozen steps, and the six people quickly came to the outside of the room where Bob and the others were.
After making sure that they were not found, two of the six reached out and took out two small bags from their arms, the captain of the six raised his right hand and opened five fingers, and then retracted his fingers one by one with a very regular time, when the last finger was retracted, and the open palm turned into a fist, he kicked open the door and quickly flashed to the side, and the two people holding the small bag threw the small bag in their hands into the room the moment the door was kicked open.
"Bang. ”
With a soft sound, two packets exploded on the ground, and two puffs of red smoke filled the room.
"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......!"
Bob and Quides and the others in the room suddenly felt their eyes tingle and burst into tears, and at the same time, the smoke they inhaled made their throats and lungs feel hot and their breathing was not smooth.
Bob's men in ambush in the three nearby houses were also caught by a dozen other hooded and robed men in the same way, and dozens of hooded and robed men also appeared in Bob's temporary settlement in the city, and arrested his sister, brother-in-law, two children, and the people who protected them, put them in cloth bags, put them in carriages, and quietly sent them to the palace.
"Your Highness, everything has been done, and not a single fish of all sizes has been caught. The guard who had taken the order returned to Ouyang Yu's side and reported to her.
"I got it. Ouyang Yu waved his hand, and the guards bowed and left.
Hearing the guard's words, Ryches turned her head a little curiously and asked, "What fish?"
"It's a gift for you. Ouyang Yu replied with a smile.
"Give me a fish as a gift?I'm curious what kind of fish will Nana give it to me today?"
"Please forgive me for keeping it a secret for the time being, I will give it to you after the ceremony. ”
"I'm looking forward to Nana's gift. Rycheth said with a soft smile, then continued to wave to the crowd.
The clock struck twelve o'clock, and the procession was over, and Riches returned to the palace, where hundreds of nobles, large and small, lined up in two lines and saluted Riches, who walked among them.
Riches slowly walked to the front of the council hall, a cardinal of the Ancestral Temple was waiting for her to prepare for her coronation, it was supposed to be Doris's coronation ceremony for Riches, but unfortunately, Doris was killed by Francis, and her body was stolen.
Riches walked up to the cardinal and bent slightly, and the cardinal, who was in his sixties, immediately began to say loudly: "Today, under the witness of the ancestors, a king has been able to re-ascend the throne that belongs to her...... ”
“...... In the name of the Patriarchs, I proclaim that Riches C. Zegar becomes the rightful king of the kingdom of Kadesh!" The cardinal took a small female crown from a brocade plate held by a nun and brought it to Riches' head, then handed her a scepter encrusted with precious stones.
Rycheth took the scepter in both hands, turned, and held it high in her right hand.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty×!"
All the nobles in the square, the men bent down to caress their chests, and the women bowed down and lifted their skirts and shouted loudly.
The nobles shouted three times before they stopped, and then there was a round of applause, and Riches slowly sat on the high throne amid the congratulations of the nobles.
After Riches sat down and the nobles quieted down, Celine, who had become the chief butler of the court, took a piece of parchment from Riches' hand, took two steps towards Riches, and said loudly: "This time, Your Majesty can put aside the chaos and reascend the throne anyway, and many people present have made great contributions, Your Majesty will not forget the meritorious people, and now is the time to fulfill Your Majesty's original promise!"
The nobles are looking forward to the main event, what is it to help Ryches? Isn't it just to get promoted and make a fortune, the nobles present all eagerly looked at the parchment in Celine's hand, waiting to hear their good news.
"Earl, Kamath, knight is first-class, and the fief is ....... ”
Celine unfolded the parchment and the names and rewards were read out, and the nobles who received the rewards were happily accepted.
This thought is half an hour, and the reward starts from low to high, and the higher the reward is.
"Duke, Simon, the title is hereditary, the eldest son is given the hereditary earl title, the second son is given the hereditary viscount title, the fief is added to the adjacent land north of Nanshan County, hired as the prime minister of the kingdom, and leads the ministers to serve the queen!"
The chubby Duke Simon shouted with excitement on his face: "Xie Lu Xie Your Majesty is very kind, and the old minister must serve Your Majesty more loyally!"
After Duke Simon returned, Celine continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are three adults who please meet you. ”
Several attendants carried three chairs, one on the right and one on the left, slightly smaller than the throne, on either side of Rechesh.
The master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Ariel Springs Zeger, and Her Royal Highness the second princess Sira Springs Zeger are here!"
"What, the eldest princess, the second princess, isn't there only one Prince Andy and one child, and where did these two princesses come from?"
Twelve-year-old Ariel and ten-year-old Sila walked up to Rickess in full costume amid the aristocrats' discussions, and the twelve-year-old Ariel generously lifted her skirt and saluted the nobles below, while the younger Sila followed her sister a little nervously and then threw herself into Riches' arms.
Rickace lovingly touched Syra's little head and comforted her for a while, and then Cyada came out of Riches' arms and sat down with her sister on the princess's throne, which was slightly smaller on Riches' right.
The master of ceremonies then shouted, "The eldest daughter of Duke Victor of the Vigel Empire, Miss Catherine Moon Victor!"
Ouyang Yu, who was wearing a long dress decorated with red phoenix tail patterns, slowly walked to Riches' side from the side, bowed to her and lifted her skirt, and then turned her body to face the nobles.
"Prince Andy?!"
Duke Simon, who often met with Ouyang Yu, and several other big nobles shouted in unison.
Ouyang Yu raised his chin slightly and said with a smile: "That's right, it's me." ”
