Chapter 80: When the Trumpet Blows (Part II)

The moment Theodore placed the crown on top of his head, almost everyone was struck by the ambition of the young emperor. The glorious cross of starlight, the purple of luxury and dignity, and the dazzling crown ...... All kinds of foils make this still very young figure full of majesty.

Especially when they saw the white crystal cross on Theodore's crown, almost all the noble lords breathed a sigh of relief - at the very least, the new emperor still recognized the legal system of the Holy Pande Empire, in other words, most of the privileges and identities granted to the nobles in the original empire could still be retained, and the traditional customs of the past would not be immediately abandoned and replaced with the new traditions of the new empire.

Frankly, almost all the nobles of the north were either fiefs for meritorious service, as in the case of the Ultok and Elvwans, whose fiefs were more due to unrewarded fiefs, and more often because of the defeat in internal struggles or the exclusion of the former emperors for various special reasons. They have seen too many new emperors take over many of the policies of the previous generation and start over on their own terms – a necessity for emperors who want to make a difference.

With the coronation of Theodore as emperor, the nobles and citizens of Rome would inevitably receive more privileges and benefits, which would have to be ceded from the interests of the north—as a matter of course, just as the nobles of Salion would have been nobles if Salad had become emperor. As the capital of the Empire, Caesarea had natural economic and political privileges, which were common throughout the world.

For the lords of the north. Cession of benefits is not something unacceptable – as long as the emperor is willing to recognize them, then their roots and legacy will be protected. And these nobles are the foundation of northern civilization, and mutual acquiescence and recognition are also necessary for Theodore.

In the main hall of the Temple, Theodore, wearing a crown, sat on a makeshift high-backed chair, while Virgil, Minister of Foreign Affairs, served and assumed the duties of ceremonial officer, and with the introduction of a soft voice, one family leader after another. Ascend to the rank of status and swear allegiance to Theodore Julian. As a messenger of the dwarves and the Noldor elves. He sat on the chairs on both sides and waited quietly.

His Majesty Levard Hussein, who was a little too enthusiastic, applauded almost everyone when they came up, patted Theodore's arm in celebration, and looked as if the two had been brothers for many years, but that was not the most troublesome for Theodore. Alpha Yi, who was supposed to be sitting next to him, actually left temporarily. In her place was Van La's only biological daughter. Sibea Aldalia!

Even if he didn't squint, Theodore could still feel the female ranger's gaze sweeping around him, with a slight banter and "murderous aura". Theodore, who had been ambitious, suddenly became on pins and needles. He even had some doubts that the female ranger was still hiding something on her body - Theodore had seen it with his own eyes, and Sibeyana took out a small short bow and arrow from her waist as if she was playing a trick, and when she flipped her wrist, the snowy hidden blade was pinched between her fingers, and God knew that she was hiding there?!

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was unaware of the slightest knowledge, continued to carry out his duty and introduced the envoy who had walked up the steps to His Majesty the Emperor: "This is the great chief of the Ryan tribe of the highlanders from the northern ice fields, and the son of Sunel. ”

"Ah, of course I know!" Theodore, who was full of spring breeze, stood up suddenly, and pressed Gado's shoulder tightly as if fleeing: "We've met before, haven't we?"

"It's a great honor, Your Majesty the Honorable Emperor!" said Gado smiled and lowered his head slightly, "Only on behalf of the highland warriors of the Ryan tribe, I offer you this insignificant loyalty!"

"I am also glad to have the loyalty of the Highland warriors. Theodore smiled and said, "But can I ask, after all, you are not vassals under Roman rule, nor are you nobles of the original empire, you are friends of the Romans, and you have no duty of allegiance." ”

"I'll explain to you why, Your Majesty. Gado just smiled slightly: "But for now, allow me to extend my blessings to you, and to His Royal Highness Pendragon!"

"Thank you very much!" Diodore smiled reluctantly with a numb scalp, and the look next to him seemed to be getting more and more murderous, and he even had the illusion that the other party was jealous.

Yes, this must be an illusion, we are just ordinary friends...... Well, maybe it's not so "ordinary", but it definitely has nothing to do with "that", I'm just thinking about it!

It's absolutely impossible not to be impressed...... For this elven female ranger, who seems to be very different from this world, especially after hearing Vara's "acquiescence", as a man, Theodore naturally has some thoughts. But he didn't dare, it was easy to clean up, especially when he was not only Caesar, but also became the emperor of men!

At the very least, he had to take responsibility for Helena...... There may be women in this world who don't eat, but there are absolutely no jealous women! Even a simple and empathetic girl like Helena would be annoyed and jealous because of this kind of thing.

At this very moment, Helena was sitting in the hall of Caesarea Castle, waiting for Theodore, who was crowned Emperor, to return and welcome his bride.

Everyone knows that after the coronation, there was the wedding of Theodore Julian and Helena Pendragon – even more so than the coronation of the Emperor!

Just the Radiant Cross, Theodore's "orthodox identity" is still very far-fetched, Pendragon's purest blood flows in Helena's body, and the influence of an empire that has been glorious for four hundred years is beyond imagination!

Helena, dressed in a sky blue dress and wearing a small tiara, sat on a high seat with a shy face, waiting for that moment with anticipation. Knight Elendil Osser, dressed in Pande-style armor, served the Imperial Front, standing with his sword in hand. As Helena's hand-appointed flag bearer, Ain Talboa stood by Helena's side, holding the flag in his hand - it was not a glorious cross flag that had been passed down for more than 400 years, but a red dragon flag with a blue background in Phnom Penh!

Only the nobles of the Empire who had actually served the Emperor knew that Pendragon's family banner was not the Glorious Cross, but the coat of arms of the first Emperor Aragon, which was used by the Founding Emperor of the Empire. Now, as a descendant of Pendragon who is married, it is natural that he must also use the heraldic banner of his ancestors - this is also Helena's own idea, like her ancestor Artoria, and it is also one of Helena's goals.

Seeing the red face of the girl behind her, Elendil sighed slightly and lowered her head slightly: "Do you need to prepare some drinks for you to relieve the heat, Your Highness?"

"No...... I don't think it'...... need to be used" Although it was indeed a little hot, this dress was too complicated, even if she sat in the shady hall, she would still sweat slightly, but she still shook her head and refused: "If you drink too much water, it will end up like that...... Then ...... That's ......."

"Okay......" Elendil nodded, waving the maid who had just brought a glass of orange juice down. Seeing the busy appearance of those girls, Elendil was too embarrassed to bother them.

"Al Ain...... You said...... I...... Can you really be a good queen?" Helena's heart beating faster and faster on the stuffy heat made Helena's heart harder and harder, especially when the waves outside were getting louder and louder, which made her heart beat faster.

"What are you talking about, my Highness!" the female knight Al in looked even more excited than Helena, "You are the descendant of Pendragon, the greatest female knight of Artoria! With the witness of the gods and the glorious cross, you will definitely become the best queen, and your children will definitely be the best emperor!"

"Xie Lu Xie...... However, I heard the voices outside seem to be getting louder and louder...... Helena shyly pointed to the door, "Shouldn't we go?"

"Wait, Your Highness. Elendil said softly: "The carriage and the ceremonial officer have not yet arrived, maybe the coronation ceremony has not yet ended." ”

"Hmph, Your Majesty the Emperor, this person who picks the door!" Ai Yin crooked his nose and snorted angrily: "I actually put the coronation ceremony and His Highness's wedding on the same day, I haven't heard of such a shabby emperor, it's too embarrassing!"

"Well, there's no way around it, after all, we still have to prepare for the war......" Helena shook her head in defense of Theodore, her blushing face drooping slightly, "Besides, I think it's also very ......"

Before Helena could finish speaking, the whisper was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps. Elendil looked up and saw that Herodotus and Virgil, the chief senators of the Senate, were hurrying towards this direction.

"Jupiter is on top, our Caesar really likes to play cards out of the ordinary, against tradition...... Oh, it's time for His Majesty the Emperor!" The indignant Herodotus' beard trembled: "It's just too reckless!"

"Doesn't that show that our majesty is full of Roman vitality and eclectic!" Virgil comforted softly on the side, but he was still hurried under his feet: "All in all, just follow your majesty's will!"

"Two adults!" Elendil hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the two who were coming with their heads down, "Has the wedding already begun?"

"The plan has changed. Herodotus snorted coldly: "Your Majesty has decided to greet the bride in person, instead of being picked up by a carriage, and intends to hold a wedding ceremony in the castle!"

"All the guests and the priests of the temple are rushing this way, and ......," Virgil forced a smile and glanced at the rising tide of shouts outside the door, "...... I think Your Majesty may be almost there!"
