Chapter 776 Canonization Ceremony (4)

If the joint meeting goes well, the next step is probably to attack him in the name of defending the country. For example, in the name of revenge for the Singh family, the garrison fleet of the Floren star system and the Chakna star system under the rule of Tripathi were recruited to weaken his military power.

Interestingly and unexpectedly, Hymnwell failed, the joint meeting was interrupted for some reason, and the follow-up plan ended without a problem, allowing Tripathi to escape.

Facts have proved that His Majesty the King borrowed the wrong knife. Although Tripathi was abolished, it also aroused Tang Fang's hostility.

Ever since, the alliance between Anthem Will and Tang Fang + Henrietta started a political and military game that spread across the country.

Tripathi has a big feud with Tang Fang, and "Morning Star Casting" is a strong party. The correct approach should be to wipe out the roots and completely eliminate the Singer family in the three major "Georgia", "Floren", and "Chuckner" parties. The vital force of a star system.

Tripathi also has a big enmity with Jangowell. Similarly, the new faction also belongs to the strong side, and he should be eliminated as soon as possible.

To put it bluntly, he can't afford to offend either of these two major forces, and he has a big grudge against any of them.

But now the two forces are twisted together like twists and turns, wrestling and fighting with each other. He can only close the door, shrink his hands and feet, get into the kang and pretend to be a gourd. Yu Suicide.

Of course, this is just their speculation. No one knows what Tripathi is doing in hiding at home, but some gossip has spread recently, saying that he seems to be dormant, but in fact he has other plans.

No matter whether he has the idea of ​​sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, or the abacus of the snipe and the clam fighting for the fisherman's profit, in short, there are countless swift undercurrents under the magnificent water surface of the United Kingdom of Turanx recently. A huge vortex that could swallow everything was brewing.

After Anthem Will and Elizabeth took their seats, 4 heavily armored knights and 4 black warriors wearing St. George's power armor stepped onto the stone bridge and walked towards the central square.

The square is not big. The left and right are only a few thousand square meters, and near the edge are two semi-circular walls composed of many tall white marble pillars. Standing on the east and west sides, the middle passage faces six stone bridges in the north and south.

The center of the square is a huge golden stone sculpture, which is a half-lying lion on the ground, looking slightly at the rising direction of the three Khanos brothers.

The style of the stone carving is a bit rough, not detailed, and there are no complicated floral decorations and textures, but it is this kind of wildness that makes it more vivid. It reveals a majestic and majestic aura that looks down upon the sky.

Although it is half-recumbent,

The eyes are open; though it looks at the dawn, its heart is wide.

Like the throne covered with swords and precious stones in the chamber, this golden lion king was also cast by von Olipold, the founding monarch of the United Kingdom of Turanx.

Even after a hundred years of wind, rain and erosion, it is still radiant and majestic.

Under the stone carving is a two-story platform, which is trapezoidal in shape as a whole. There are smooth and wide stone steps in the north and south, leading to 6 stone bridges.

Four black warriors in St. George's power armor walked to the four corners of the first floor and stood still, as if turning into a statue. Quietly looking at the guests around.

This is a ceremony, but also to establish prestige, and also to protect.

The silver-white St. George-class powered armor reflected the light of the three brothers, bursting into streaks of brilliance. The breeze blew against the armor, creating ripples of light. The cold and deep pupils that looked like obsidian exuded bursts of chill, making people unable to help but feel fear.

Tang Fang glanced at the black warrior in the southeast corner, then looked at the black warrior facing him in the southwest corner, and frowned slightly.

Although it only disappeared in an instant, he still keenly caught that faint killing intent.

The remaining 4 knights in heavy armor stepped onto the second-floor platform. Standing on the left and right of the lion sculpture, waiting quietly.

The discussion at the scene faded away. The ceremony and music ceased.

The drone responsible for recording the scene flew up and down, and transmitted the scene around the square to the news department of the information control center. After editing and trimming, it was announced on the official media, presenting the before and after of Elena's consecration to all citizens of the United Kingdom of Turanx.

For Anthem Will, although the canonization ceremony was forced to be a kind of compromise, it also had some positive effects. For example, Elena would swear allegiance to him under the symbol of royal power. If you break your oath, it is treason.

The minister of ceremonies, Swift, stepped onto the stage on the second floor, facing the direction of the Ibrahimovic Palace, and delivered a speech before the canonization.

The left and right were some unnutritious flattery words, Tang Fang listened dizzily for a few minutes, and as the ceremony and music played again, two people walked slowly towards the main hall of Ibrahimovic Palace.

Elena was in front, wearing a noble cloak that symbolized her status, and a knight's medal hanging on her chest, walking towards the central square step by step.

Kyrenia trailed behind her, taking each step slowly as the hem of her cloak moved.

A few minutes later, the two stopped, Kyrenia retreated to the side of the red carpet, and stood near Henrietta, Gilcott and others.

Elena stood alone in front of the red carpet, letting the drones fly up and down to take pictures from all angles.

After that, Henrietta stood up, passed the stone bridge in the middle, went up the steps, and finally stopped at the stone platform in front of the four knights in heavy armor, and saluted the golden lion for a minute.

There is also a half-recumbent male lion on the coat of arms of the Olipold family, which is woven with gold thread or powder, which is very similar to the golden lion stone sculpture in front of it... In fact, they are its extensions.

Like the sword throne and the crown on His Majesty's head, it is a symbol of the country's royal power.

Then, he turned around and looked down at the audience from a height.

Minister of Ceremony Swift and Archbishop Norwood, holding ritual utensils and holy relics in their hands, passed through the left and right bridges, and stood behind Psalmwell.

Elena continued on, stepping on the red carpet onto the central bridge.

Fragrant flowers, full of sunshine, the red robe gently swayed, flowing on her feet, kissing the bright blanket one by one.

Her expression was calm, calm from beginning to end. There is no excitement or tension, only the peace and cleanliness after the wind stops and the rain stops.

Viewed from the side, she is holy like an ethereal goddess walking out of the clouds, not happy with things. Not because of self-sorrow, with a cool temperament and a dusty figure, he walked slowly onto the high platform.

The lion is proud. Golden and noble, yet at this moment. It seemed as if she was getting smaller and smaller in front of her, crawling in front of her unhurried footsteps.

It's not that she surrenders to it, but she surrenders to it with that kind of holiness, that kind of nobility, and that kind of coolness.

Anthem Will frowned, a trace of embarrassment and uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know why. The Elena in front of him suddenly gave him an indescribable pressure, and she was completely different from her at the dinner party.

Until she walked up to the first floor, getting closer and closer to the peak, seeing that figure standing alone, seeing flowers blooming on the road, the red carpet like fire, and seeing the Ibrahimovic Palace being put into the hourglass of late autumn, he understood...

Elena is not a goddess, but everything in front of her eyes. Give her sanctity; it is everything in front of her that gives her nobility; it is everything in front of her that gives her coolness.

Put her in a beautifully decorated corridor. She is a painting with aura.

Put her on a desolate and dry sandbar, and she will be a clear spring.

Put him in the sky after the rain, she is a colorful rainbow.

She is ever-changing. In different environments, she changes into different colors and wears different silk yarns.

Praise Will think of a person --- the most shining pearl of the Hillenbel region, Charlotte Quinn.

Of course, although both Charlotte and Elena are ever-changing, what the former changes is herself. The latter is changed by the environment.

Time continued to move forward, and Elena's footsteps continued to move upwards. Go over the low stairs and come to the second floor. Walk among the 4 heavy armored knights, and come to the front of Psalmwell.

Many gazes gathered on her from below, she glanced at the guests, paused slightly on Tang Fang's face, her pretty eyes became colorful, and then turned her head to look at Swift, the Minister of Ceremony on the left of Psalmwell.

The ceremonies and music stopped, the voice of discussion subsided, and even the wind that leaked through the turrets and battlements was deterred. Only the quiet sun shone on the four people at the feet of the golden lion.

Swift stepped forward: "Are you willing to solemnly promise to swear to rule the people of the Aladale star system and the Josena star system, manage their land, and respect their beliefs and customs in ruling?"

Elena raised her right hand: "I would like to solemnly promise."

Swift went on to ask: "Are you willing to do what you can, with compassion, to maintain the fairness and justice of the territory?"

"I would."

Swift took a step back, Norwood stepped forward: "Will you spend your life upholding the laws of God and following the true teachings of the Gospel? Will you uphold, protect, the sanctity of the state religion, uphold and protect Its teachings, worship, principles, and governance? Are you willing to protect the powers and privileges of the church of bishops, clergy, and abbots?"

Elena paused and said, "I promise to abide by all the above requirements, and I will abide by and fulfill the promise, may God bless me."

Norwood stepped back.

Her voice was not loud, but it clearly entered the ears of everyone present.

The room became quieter, and many people turned their attention to the face of Zan Geweier.

Everyone knew that the previous questions were just a foil, and the questions and answers between His Majesty the King and Elena were the key to her obtaining the right to rule the Duchy of Kenar.

He asked, she answered.

Then he would draw out the King's Sword that was worn at his waist, pat her on the shoulder lightly, and bestow upon her golden leaves, diamond-studded branches, and a crown embellished with strawberry leaves, acknowledging her as the heir to the Duchy of Kenar identity of.

Finally, Henrietta will apply holy water to her forehead, heart and palms.

Guests would stand, applaud, and chant von Ollibold's name, chant Will Ollibold's name, and Henrietta Ollibold's name.

From then on, Elena was no longer the little girl of the Charles Federation, but the duchess who held two star systems.

"Are you willing to inherit the legacy of the Duke of Deknar, assist me, support me, and respect me? Are you willing to lead your subjects to serve the country and resist foreign humiliation when the country is invaded? Are you willing to maintain and protect Ollie?" The power and privilege of the Pod family, when someone provokes it, use the long sword in your hand to crush the enemies of the royal family?"

She raised her eyes and swept across the sky, then the golden lion, and finally landed on the face of Anthem Will, and replied with a still calm but powerful voice: "I am willing to inherit my father's behest and stand up when the people and the country are violated." out. I am willing to maintain and protect, including but not limited to, the rights and interests of the Olipold family.”

There were strange expressions on many people's faces, because her answer was different from those of the duke's heirs in the past. There were some small problems... no, not small problems, but big problems.

Hymn Will's question is to establish the status of the Olipold family, the absolute rule of the king, and her submission to the monarch, not the country and the people... No, according to her, the people come first, the country is behind.

Although there are only minor differences between 'the country and the people' and 'the people and the country', their connotations are quite different.

It's not about the individual obeying the collective, it's not about sacrificing the ego to achieve the big ego, it's how can there be a big ego without the ego, and how can a country be built without the people.

She didn't even mention "you"---the title that should be given when facing Psalmwell. Even the Olipold family only mentioned rights, not power and privilege.

The "but not limited to" in that sentence shows that the Olipold family is not unique in her mind, let alone the only sacred one.

In other words, this is not the answer at all.

She just said what was in her heart, and it could also be said as a tactful refusal or objection to those questions.

To put it more seriously, she is disobeying Hymn Will and rebelling against the Olipold family.

This is not an oath, this is a declaration of war on the king's power.

Many people were dumbfounded, and some people with not very bright minds still couldn't think of a reason, and their brains were confused by Song Will's question and Elena's answer.

Some celebrities who have nothing to do with politics but are obsessed with other social fields thought that they heard it wrong, or that the girl was too nervous, so they said something so confusing.

Of course, there are always smart people in the majority in this world, with few idiots and even more fools.

So the vast majority of people looked at the low platform in the central square with shock, astonishment, panic, bewilderment and other emotions, looking at the man who held the monstrous power and the holy girl.

"What did she say? What did she say!"

"Oh, God, if she said that, wouldn't it mean insulting His Majesty the King in public... She... Doesn't she want to be the master of the Duchy of Kenar? Why is she so stupid!"

"At a young age, his ability to deal with things is not strong, and his ability to cause trouble is superb. This is simply digging his own grave."

"You are all wrong. Why did she dare to say that? Why did she say that? Because there is a person here, his surname is Tang."

Many people turned their eyes to the foreign guest area, and they fell on the man whose face remained the same. (To be continued.)

ps: I like her more and more, what should I do? what to do?
