Chapter 13: Crowned
"Weselis."
"Kneel here."
Hearing the mother's request hastily, the silver-haired boy was slightly startled.
However, neither Bachelor Daniel nor Director David Shad sitting next to the throne was in the slightest surprise.
News about King's Landing has gradually arrived. Just when Queen Layla and Veselis left Westeros to go to sea, King's Landing had officially fallen.
The Duke of Taiwen led 12,000 soldiers to King's Landing under the banner of King Qin, but was rejected by Iris II.
The former imperial minister sent Schier University to force the intelligence chief Varys to persuade the king to open the city gate to welcome the western army into the city.
However, when the gates of King's Landing were opened, Lannister's army entered the city. The Duke of Kaiyan City, who had been loyal and surrendered before, suddenly turned his face and ordered the army to start looting King's Landing in the name of Robert Baratheon.
This city, which has never been attacked by the outside, has once again fallen from the inside.
The life and death of His Majesty Iris II, who is still in King’s Landing, is now unknown.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Queen Layla suddenly made such a decision.
"Your Majesty the Queen."
At this moment, the old bachelor who was sitting aside suddenly spoke, and then stood up tremblingly while leaning on the chair.
"If you want to crown your Highness, you also need to follow the will of the Seven Gods."
The coronation of a new king is a major event and requires a very cumbersome ceremony. First of all, there must be a decent cathedral. During the Targaryen Dynasty, most of the successive kings were crowned in St. Belle's Cathedral.
There is a sanctuary on Longshidao. It is said that Aegon, the conqueror, set sail and knelt and prayed here on the eve of conquering the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.
However, according to the records of the Targaryen family, this is unbelievable, because Aegon suddenly converted to the Seven Gods after he hit the old town in the conquest of Westeros.
So this sanctuary should have been built after the conquest.
And a church is not enough for the coronation of the new king.
It is also necessary for the archbishop and several archbishops to jointly hold a coronation ceremony for the new king. The coronation ceremony also needs to be painted with holy oil, the archbishop chants the words of blessing and so on...
However, nowadays, on the barren Dragonstone Island, there is nothing but a sanctuary. Even the monks and nuns are very few, let alone the archbishop and the archbishop.
And Queen Layla was slightly in a daze when she heard the words of Bachelor Daniel, then she lowered her head and rubbed her eyebrows.
"Sorry, Bachelor Daniel."
"I have some gaffes."
Although the silver-haired woman is very strong, the pain of the country's ruined family is still like ants eating her flesh and blood, making her a little messy.
She just wants to pass on the king and crown her children, so that the flame of hope in her heart will not go out.
The Targaryen Dynasty did not fall in the hands of her generation.
"In that case, let's go to the sanctuary."
Then the old maid helped Queen Layla up, and Sir Shad, who was sitting on the other side, also stood up with the sword and said.
"Then your Majesty, I'll go to the monk."
"You don't have to go to those monks anymore."
"Jazz."
However, the butler's proposal was immediately rejected by the silver-haired woman.
Queen Leila stood in front of the seats in the center of the round table and looked at everyone present. The golden crown with rubies in the center was shining brightly under the torch.
took a deep breath and lifted up his spirits, then spoke.
"This is an extraordinary period."
"I am here to crown Viselis, as long as I am watching the seven gods."
...
There are statues of the Seven Gods in the sanctuary on Longshidao.
And Viselis was half-kneeling under the statue of the Seven Gods, and beside him stood his mother, Queen Layla Targaryen.
The queen, who changed into a black velvet shirt, looked even more honorable. She was slender and graceful, with long silver hair hanging from her waist, one hand on the top of Viselis's head, and the other holding one. The oath now written by Bachelor Daniel, read it in a low voice.
"This feeling..."
Viselis knelt on the ground, not knowing why he always felt a little uncomfortable, as if he had taken off his clothes and was seen thoroughly.
In the wide church, Queen Layla recites the oath for her son, and Bachelor Daniel, Sir Shad and others are witnessing all this from a long distance in the back.
As for the focus of everyone's eyes, the body of the silver-haired boy seemed to writhe somewhat restlessly.
was then held down by Queen Leila with her hand.
"Would you like to have a benevolent heart..."
Mother's voice sounded from the top of his head.
However, Veselis felt his breathing a little bit rapid at this moment, and no one noticed that his face became flushed, as if the blood in his body was starting to burn.
What the mother said came into his ears, but Viselis could only nod blankly and say ‘I promise’, and at the same time raised his head slightly and looked at everything around him with a confused look.
The tall statue of the Seven Gods is overlooking the little man below.
In the sanctuary on Longshidao, the old woman’s eye pupils are pearls, the heavenly father’s beard is gilded, and the stranger looks more like an animal than a human. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
The statues of were all carved from the masts of ships, and these ships were the tools used by the ancestors of the Targaryen clan when they fled across the sea from Valyria. For centuries, they have been painted with layers of paint, gilded, hot silver, and inlaid with jewelry.
There are also several altars in the sanctuary, with stained glass, reflecting the dazzling light under the light of the torch.
"So hot..."
Veserys felt his palms feel a little scorching when pressed on the ground of the temple, as if he were in a melting pot, where flames burned everything.
"Do not..."
"It's so hot."
However, everyone around him didn't feel that way, only Veselis was a little strange.
"what the **** is it?"
"Why do I feel this way under the gaze of the Seven Gods?"
Veserys is puzzled, but his body temperature is still rising.
He knows that the coronation ceremony is very important at this moment, and he tries to maintain himself and not expose the strangeness.
However, his breathing became more and more rapid with time. If Viselis was about to be melted by the flame, his skin, muscles, blood, viscera, and bones were all being burned into carbon by the flame, and eventually turned into ashes.
And at this moment.
Queen Leila's long vows finally finished.
Then the silver-haired woman took off the golden crown inlaid with rubies from her head, and slowly clasped it on top of Viselis's head.
"From today."
"my child..."
"You are the king of the Andals, the Roinas, and the ancestors, the legal ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the guardian of the whole territory, Viselis Targaryen III."
