Chapter 479: Crowned

Continental calendar May 20, 1126, the Kingdom of Winster, Nord City.

Richard, who has been dressed in peace, can be said to be radiant. He is dressed in a yellow bottom robe made of fine silk. Jewelry gloves can blind others' eyes with every move. The exterior of his boots was painted with a layer of gold, with beautiful patterns. The linen trousers he wears on his legs are red, the belts on his calves are of the same color, and the flower border is stretched on the linen clothes, and also on the cross-legging straps.

He still wears the crown belonging to King Winster on his head. Although this crown is expensive and heavy, it is slightly inferior to the new crown that will be replaced later.

Stephanie and the two princes and princesses also put on their costumes, and their family set off from Ippolito Palace under the **** of the Janissary Guard brigade wearing bearskin hats to the Noord Cathedral not far from the palace. In order to ensure the smoothness of the coronation ceremony, Richard deployed heavy troops around the Nord Cathedral and strictly scrutinized them. In addition to the soldiers in military uniforms, there are many spy assassins in civilian clothes mixed in the crowd, and always pay attention to the crowd. Of changes.

Richard is not afraid of being assassinated. He is afraid that the assassin will attack his wife and children frantically, so he is so strict.

Squeaky

The heavy palace gate slowly opened under the impetus of the Janitor, making a harsh creaking sound. The sensational crowd outside was also exposed to Richard’s sight. After hearing that Richard was about to be crowned the emperor, Nord City’s Residents flocked to the Palace of Ippolito and the Nord Cathedral, hoping to witness the progress of the king they championed. Richard learned the people's thoughts from the spy network, so he didn't order the clearing of the field. Instead, he asked the soldiers to besiege a wall of people to ensure that no one could pass through the wall and rush to his side.

"Richard! Richard! Richard!"

After Richard appeared, the scene was quiet for a few seconds, followed by deafening cheers, and the crowd shouted Richard's name to express their respect and love for the great king.

People like this. Richard sighed with emotion in his heart. He took Stephanie's hand, nodded to the crowd, and then walked through the passage separated by the wall under the **** of the soldiers and walked towards the cathedral. There was also a crowd of people outside the Nord Cathedral. The crowds onlookers gritted their shoulders and wanted to see the honor of the royal family. When they saw Richard and his party, they cheered like the crowd outside the palace and watched Richard. De stepped on the fine-textured velvet red carpet and walked into the cathedral step by step. When they entered the cathedral, the door was closed, blocking the eyes of the outside world.

The cathedral is full of the nobles of the kingdom and the envoys of the member states of the alliance. The former watched Richard walk in with eager eyes, wondering whether his title will be improved after he is crowned and proclaimed emperor; the latter is Looking at the shining Richards family with complicated eyes, the Winster Kingdom was already very expansive, and now it has crowned itself as the emperor, and it is very likely to go to war with the veteran overlord of the sacred Kuyavian Empire in the north.

There are frequent wars on the peninsula. They sighed in their hearts. It seems that since Richard entered the Kingdom of Winster and led the expansion of the kingdom, the peace time on the peninsula has decreased drastically, and wars break out almost every year, even during the four years of the Kingdom of Winster. In time, other countries on the peninsula did not end the war.

Now Richard has formed a Vadasian alliance that prohibits countries from starting wars on their own, hoping that this will end the wars on the peninsula for hundreds of years and restore peace to the people.

...

He looked at King Winster seriously. Although this was not the first time Peter crowned others, it was the first time he crowned an empire lord. He watched Richard walk step by step in front of him with one knee. Kneeling on the ground, took a deep breath, and then said:

"In the name of the Father God and the will of the people, crown Richard Stuart as the Holy Roman Emperor, Augustus, the supreme monarch of Germany and Vadassia, may God grant him wisdom, may God possess Bless him!"

Then, several pastors held two palaces of different sizes and walked to Peter's side. He glanced at the largest palace on the tray, swallowed, and then said: "In the name of God God , Crown the imperial crown to my prince, brave Winsters, loyal to your prince! May you defend the glory of my prince with your sword!"

When the words fell, he stretched out his hand to get the crown, but Richard took a step ahead of him, took off the Winster crown on his head, gently placed it on the tray, and then in Peter's stunned gaze, The imperial crown was lifted up and put on his head.

It is a very luxurious and beautiful crown. It is surrounded by 8 gold plates. The inside is an iron ring for reinforcement. The top of the crown is an arch from front to back with a gold cross and jewels. A total of about 144 jewels including sapphires, jades and amethysts are inlaid on the crown, as well as drooping fringe-shaped ornaments.

Then, Richard took another small crown placed on the red cloth plate and put it on Stephanie's head. This belonged to the queen and also represented Richard's recognition of her status as the queen.

After putting on the crown, Richard glanced lightly at the priest who was holding the scepter in his hand. The latter shook his body and quickly handed the sceptre made of pure gold with a double-headed eagle on top. Richard He stretched out his hand to take it, feeling the heaviness of his hand, and then raised it high and showed it in front of everyone. Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by him and the Holy Scepter, and no one paid attention to his own act of putting on the crown.

Upon seeing this, Cardinal Peter quickly put away his consternation. Although Richard did not discuss with him in advance, he did not have any negative feelings about Richard because of this system background~lightnovelpub.net~ He paused. Pause, loudly:

"All of you present, please stand up and pray silently with me:

Our Father in Heaven, the all-powerful and all-powerful God, please help our King Stuart, please grant him heavenly wisdom, please grant him the authority to govern the country, and may you die for him and his land, Give us peace, give us happiness, and all praises go to God the Father in heaven.

Amen. "

Everyone got up together and repeated Peter’s words in their hearts. At the same time, another pastor took a step forward and handed the King Power Ball to Richard. After everyone finished their silent prayers and turned their eyes on Richard, he had already symbolized The scepter of authority and the ball of kingship were lifted above the head, accepting the allegiance of the nobles.

"I, the director of the emperor's affairs, Charles, Duke of Sauron, swears that your friend is my friend, and your enemy is my enemy. I will treat each other with sincerity, the King of Guardians!"

"I, Toola Gris, Duke of Delj swears..."

"I, Richard, Duke of Oponia took the oath..."
