On November 1111, 11 in the continental calendar, a grand coronation ceremony was being held in the capital of the Kingdom of Ravana.

In order to stabilize the turbulent situation just after the end of the civil war, Richard invited all the nobles and businessmen in the country to be present. In addition, in order to increase the number of people, he also invited envoys from the Kingdom of Farnik and the Kingdom of Ramirez ——Although the latter was not very willing to come, but due to Richard's coercion, he still had no choice but to choose Congxin.

Inside the Trizzi Palace, there was a lot of people and everyone was watching. Walking imperial knights dressed in full steel plate armor that surpassed the manufacturing skills of this era stood on both sides of the red carpet in the palace, blocking the crowd from the outside. Their fully enclosed The traditional helmets wrapped their faces, making it difficult for people to see their expressions clearly. The hideous shape of the helmets combined with the icy aura emanating from their bodies made people dare not make mistakes.

According to the practice of the Kingdom of Ravana, when the new king ascends the throne, the high priest of the phantom deer must first read the sacred scripture "Holy Scroll" to drive away evil spirits, and then the new king enters the arena and accepts the high priest to wear the crown symbolizing the sacred kingship on him , After that, the nobles all swore allegiance to the king, and then the king appointed the cabinet members, and led all the cabinet members out of the Trizzi Palace to meet the representatives of the people.

Outside, the sound of trumpets and drums shook the sky, and the residents of the whole city were celebrating the enthronement of the new king. Stephanie, who was about to become the king, stood behind the palace in all her attire. She accepted the service of the maid while looking at the Richard outside the gate of the palace, the latter also dressed up on this important day, giving off a noble and inviolable atmosphere.

"My Majesty, it's time to get ready to go." Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Richard's heart beat faster involuntarily, but he still suppressed the emotions in his heart and said calmly.

Hearing this, Stephanie waved away the maids around her, and walked towards Richard slowly. Today, she is so gorgeous that she seems to be shining in Richard's eyes (can so many jewels not shine), even if it is The beauties seen in the era of information explosion in previous lives are not comparable to her.

"Richard, am I beautiful today?" she asked softly.

"Beauty, in front of you, even the angels in the Bible can only pale."

"Pfft." Stephanie chuckled lightly, and asked again, "Do you think I can be a good king?"

"I don't know." Richard shook his head, but then said firmly: "Whether you are a qualified king or not, as long as I am here, you will always be the king of Ravana."

"But you are going back to the Winster Kingdom after all, what shall we do then?" Stephanie said, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes.She is a smart woman, knowing where Richard's home is, she will not ask him to stay in Ravana forever without meaning.

With such excellent abilities, how could Richard be willing to stay here and spend the rest of his life mediocre?
"Let's talk about it later." Richard didn't directly tell her the decision he had made before, but said vaguely, trying to confuse the issue.

Why didn't Stephanie know what Richard was thinking, but she didn't continue to ask, but changed the subject, stretched out her slender hand and grabbed Richard, saying: "Let's go, I have a surprise to send later for you."

"What surprise?" Richard subconsciously wanted to blurt out, but before he could ask, he was dragged out by Stephanie, and the general guard knights and arquebus soldiers waiting outside saw the two coming out, and immediately Follow up.

Looking at the strange costumes and weapons of the arquebus soldiers on both sides of the guard, Stephanie asked Richard curiously, "What weapons are these people holding?"

"It's a musket." Richard replied. He knew that Stephanie didn't understand, and added: "After the ceremony is over, I will let them demonstrate the use of the musket, and you will know when the time comes."

When Stephanie entered the arena and stepped on the red carpet, the high priest of the phantom deer had finished reading the contents of the "Holy Canon", and together with everyone, turned their attention to Stephanie in costumes. It was the first time that Stephanie was stared at like this. She is used to it, but she forcibly overcomes the discomfort in her heart, holds her head high, and walks on the red carpet with graceful steps.

Surrounded by walking imperial knights exuding cold and murderous aura, blocked kingdom nobles and foreign envoys, everyone was looking at the young queen, and they talked a lot about the first queen in the history of the Kingdom of Ravana Can you do it.

Finally, Stephanie finished walking the long red carpet and stood on the high platform at the end. After looking at the High Priest of Huanlu, she immediately knelt down on one knee facing the High Priest, her head tilted slightly.

"You are the most legitimate heir of the kingdom. You ended the civil strife in the kingdom and restored the stability of the kingdom. You will bring prosperity and peace to the Ravana people again..."

As the words of blessing that each king must recite at the time of coronation came to an end in the mouth of the high priest, the priests standing on the left side of the high platform surrounded the king's crown and walked slowly to Stephanie. This crown made of gold They were placed on a tray covered with red velvet, and the priests in red (from top to bottom in the Dali religion were the high priest, the priest in red, the priest in white and the priest in black, and the priest in red was also regarded as the great priest. Candidate for the priest) held it up, and beside him, followed two other white-clothed priests, and the three of them walked to the side of the gray-haired high priest and knelt down together.

After the words of blessing were over, the high priest slowly stretched out his hand, picked up the golden crown inlaid with hundreds of white diamonds of the same size from the tray, and solemnly put it on for Stephanie. When the golden crown fell on Stephanie's head At the moment, there was deafening applause in the palace, and outside the palace, the sound of drums and horns was played in unison again.

At the same time, it was the overwhelming cheers.

"Long live the king! Long live the king! Long live the king!"

Then there is the part where the nobles swear allegiance. As the lord of Cuban, Luwen and other counties, Richard is naturally among the crowd who swear allegiance. Sophie is a nobleman of the earl rank.

Amidst the sound of musical instruments, Richard walked towards the high platform along the red carpet with the nobles, and stopped only a few steps away from the high platform. It's not for the sake of considering the emotions of the Ravana people. I'm afraid that he will be crowned standing there today.

"We salute you, our king, our lord, lord of the Ravana, rightful king of the kingdom of Ravana, and pledge our allegiance to you forever." Richard and Mabu Sophie, Earl of Ku, stood at the front, knelt down on one knee, and swore loudly. Behind the two of them were the relatively low-level secular nobles.

Stephanie looked at the only remaining nobles in the kingdom after the civil war, swallowed the saliva secreted by nervousness, then pretended to be calm, and said crisply: "All nobles, I accept your allegiance, and I will fulfill it." I am obliged to lead the kingdom to prosperity and lead the people to prosperity. I will guarantee your legal rights, fulfill your feudal obligations, and protect your territory from illegal usurpation by others..."

　I’m going to spit out, don’t take it seriously where it’s different from history, this is another world
