Chapter 798 Canonization Ceremony

On the morning of January 9760, 1 of the Glorious Calendar, inside the Church of Life in Clermont City.

Today, Merezakli will be crowned in front of the statue of the Goddess of Life and officially ascend to the throne of the Grand Duke of the Principality of Merezakli to demonstrate his devotion to the Goddess of Life.

No one was whispering in the hall, and everyone remained silent so as not to offend the majesty of the gods.

A 700-year-old bishop of the Church of Life knelt devoutly before the statue, silently reciting the "Canon of Life".

The maximum lifespan of a mid-level transcendent soul is only eight hundred years.

Bishop Raphim is already in his twilight years. In a few decades, he will go to the kingdom of the Goddess of Life.

As time passed, important people came in one after another and stood on both sides of the hall in order of strength, rank, and identity background.

At this moment, Queen Elsa's messenger stood in the crowd, feeling the sidelong glances of others, without feeling the slightest bit of embarrassment, nor showing any stage fright.

At noon, Bishop Rafim stopped praying, opened his cloudy eyes, stood up from the ground, turned around, looked at Pastor Lavia, and nodded to him.

After receiving the signal, Lavia came to the entrance of the church and said loudly: "The ceremony begins."

Six hundred silver warriors from the Ice Sword Camp, wearing the standard armor of the Church of Life, held up their flags and pointed them forward at forty-five degrees, with the tips of the flags touching each other.

Near the entrance of the cathedral, fourteen gold-rank temple knights looked straight ahead.

In a solemn and dignified atmosphere, Merezakli, dressed in formal attire, walked step by step along the path formed by flags towards the church.

Walking up the stairs and arriving in front of the Golden Knight, Merezakli slowed down and walked forward.

Every time he passed two golden knights, a new emblem of the Church of Life would appear on Merezhali's cloak.

Until arriving at the entrance of the temple, seven emblems of the Church of Life appeared on the cloak, arranged in a certain order.

Seven represents public.

Nine represents the king.

Stepping over the threshold, under the gaze of everyone in the temple, Merezakli officially entered the temple.

Footsteps sounded, and everyone's eyes followed Merezakli's movement.

When Merezakli knelt before the statue, the canonization ceremony officially entered the critical moment.

Bishop Raphim placed his left hand on his chest and his right hand on top of Merezakli's head, and said kindly, "Child, are you willing to fight for the goddess?"

"I am willing."

Merezakli lowered his head and answered firmly.

"Are you willing to be loyal to the will of the gods?"

"I am willing."

"would you like……"

The seven questions were over and the enthronement ceremony came to an end.

Bishop Raphim turned around and picked up the crown on the tray. It was inlaid with seven crystals, representing the Church of Life's definition of the position of Archbishop and a symbol of noble status.

However, compared with the Grand Duke canonized in the main world, this crown lacks three holy emblems.

The moment Bishop Raphim placed the crown on Merezakli, the ceremony was officially over.

"Grand Duke Merezakli, congratulations."

"Thank you, Bishop Lafim."

Merezakli stood up and saluted to the old man in front of him to show his respect.

Everyone placed their right hands on their chests, bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Greetings, Grand Duke Merezakli."

As the ceremony ended, the various forces began to congratulate each other.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was the turn of the messenger sent by Queen Elsa.

The elegant middle-aged white-haired young man came to the center of the temple, bowed and saluted, and said: "On behalf of Queen Elsa of the Teton Kingdom, I congratulate Grand Duke Merezakli."

"The Queen asked me to bring a few words."

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen carefully.

They were very curious about what the wife of Grand Duke Merezali would say, whether it would be extreme humiliation, a peaceful separation, or a declaration of independence.

Weilin didn't even blink, and was very curious about what the queen would say.

"Merezakli, you are my husband, for a time and for the rest of my life. You are the Grand Duke of the Principality of Merezakli, and I am the Grand Duchess of Merezakli."

"Elsa Gotworth belongs to the Teton Kingdom, but Elsa Merezakli belongs to you, and that will never change."

"May the Kingdom of Teton and the Principality of Merezakli form an alliance and provide mutual assistance in friendship."

After finishing speaking, the messenger bowed again and said respectfully: "Grand Duke Merezakli, this is the message Queen Elsa asked me to bring. May I ask if you have a reply?"

At this moment, everyone turned their eyes to Merezakli, even Bishop Raphim was no exception, his cloudy eyes were filled with a hint of curiosity, waiting for his answer.

In the front row, Weilin couldn't help but be amazed and had to admire the way Queen Elsa handled the matter.

There is no doubt that the Kingdom of Teton will be handed over to Elbella sooner or later, so she defines herself as Elsa Gottesworth, and this title will soon come to an end.

But she also didn't want to give up her husband, so she was called Elsa Merezakli.

At this moment, Merezakli looked down at the messenger, his eyes revealing deep thought, but on this occasion, he did not have much time to think.

Deep down in his heart, he understood Elsa's love for him, and he also loved Elsa deeply, but the marriage mixed with politics eventually made their feelings drift apart.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if a couple joined hands and rebuilt a kingdom.

After a brief thought, Merezakli said, "Tell my wife that I am waiting for her arrival in the Principality of Merezakli."

"Grand Duke Merezakli, I will pass on your message."

The messenger bowed and saluted, then returned to the queue.

Looking at Merezhakli's expression, Weilin couldn't get the information he wanted.

Maybe this is just what Merezakli said, or maybe it is what he really thinks.

However, there are only interests between the two countries. Even if a solid alliance can be established now, who can tell what will happen a thousand years later?

Besides, those who support Merezakli will not allow the Principality of Merezakli to get too close to the Kingdom of Teton.

Shaking his head, Weilin threw these distracting thoughts out of his mind.

After the enthronement ceremony, Weilin returned to the manor and continued to practice. He would not end this boring routine until the order to attack the Kingdom of Skarlovy was issued.
