- People from almost the entire capital, as well as several neighboring cities, flocked to the subway, rushed to cars, or walked to the road where the future king's royal carriage will pass (before the coronation ceremony begins, the crown prince must return to the palace and go from the palace to the church) , residents in other cities and provinces had to sit at home and watch the live broadcast because they were too far away - even so, as the sky darkened, the two wings of the originally not very wide street still became crowded, shoulder to shoulder, Heels to toes, but people didn't take it seriously. They carefully protected the fresh bouquets in their hands, as well as the large and small Sardinian flags, waiting patiently and quietly - it was still very early before the ceremony started. , until the warm sunshine poured onto the ancient stone road, the rhythmic, clicking sound of horse hooves finally sounded from the end of the street, and the royal carriage led by the royal guard cavalry of the royal guard appeared on time in front of people. From the view, according to tradition, it is pulled by eight white horses - this carriage has been used for hundreds of years, and under the bright light, the gold decoration and wooden siding have become somewhat eclipsed by the long time and weather. The tiny spots on the clothes can be seen clearly, but no one will pay attention to it at this time - the man who will become the King of Sardinia in three hours is turning his head to look at them, everyone can feel it Those black eyes swept across their bodies - his expression was calm and indifferent, not happy or excited.
Church bells everywhere are about to ring in unison, celebrating the birth of a new king and mourning the passing of an old king They even have to hold a state funeral without a corpse - just because the man-made black hole is Neither self-annihilation nor gradual compression and collection could bring back Her Majesty's body from inside. When people realized this, all the cheers that should have been deafening were stuck in their throats. The suffocation made them unable to send out any words. sound.
The carriage passed through the crowd quietly, and suddenly a "Long Live" broke the painful silence. People couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound - it was a little girl who was only a little over three years old, wearing pink taffeta. With her wide skirt, clear eyes and bright smile, she was like the little angel in the mural walking down the wall - she was holding a small bouquet of roses firmly in her hand, cheering as much as she could. Swing the arm holding the flower vigorously. The undead's good eyesight could see that her mother opened her mouth first, as if she wanted to stop it, but could not say anything several times in a row, and instead forced her tears This made her shout "Long live" , the voice became slight and intermittent due to choking.
Alex raised his hand from the carriage and waved gently.
"He may be the first king in history to go to the church in such a silent and sad procession to accept the crown and power," thought the immortals, with unusual peace and gentleness in their hearts. There is no doubt that they love her.
This is good.

Walking into the main hall from the west door of the church amid monotonous and familiar hymns, passing through the guests watching the ceremony, kneeling in front of the altar to pray briefly, and then walked back to the front of the altar with the support of the archbishop. Lord Felix stood holding the king's sword. By his side, while the bishops fetched Bibles, holy oil pots, etc. - Alex stood facing the four directions in turn. He looked at the four people who had already stood at the center points of these four directions, and was also attracted by them. Looking at them - they were the speaker of the upper and lower houses, Raul Gonzalez, and the prosecutor general Cervantes - the archbishop asked them loudly whether they were willing to recognize the man before him as a worthy king and swear an oath To offer him loyal and dedicated service He of course got the answer in the affirmative, loudly.
Immediately afterwards, the archbishop asked Alex if he was willing to swear an oath. After getting the future king's permission, the bishop standing on Alex's right opened the Bible, and Li Li on the left offered the king's sword so that the crown prince's hand could be released. on it as the basis for the oath.
¡°You will undertake and solemnly swear to govern Sardinia, your possessions and other territories, and to respect the laws and customs of any of them belonging or subject to them?¡±
"I hereby solemnly swear that I will."
"Will you use your power fairly, in accordance with the law, and make the right decisions with justice and mercy?"
"I hereby solemnly swear that I will."
"Will you preserve the temples and religions of the sages?"
"I hereby solemnly swear that I will."
¡¡
Read the oath of accession, sign the oath, and place them on the altar. Then, surrounded by the bishops, he returns to the altar. Lord Felix and Gonzalez take off the short cloak outside the crown prince's dress. The archbishop will The holy oil was poured into a spoon, and then smeared on the crown prince's forehead, and then he was awarded the scepter, the ball, the crown, the robe, and finally took a step back and knelt in front of Alex, because from this moment on, he was already SardiniaThe Patriarch of the State Church and the King of Sardinia.
Slightly different from every coronation in the past four hundred years, on the high-profile screen standing in one wing of the main hall of the church, it can be said that the pope with the shortest term since the beginning of the church - Holy Father Sri Lanka raised his hand. , a distant blessing - this is for the Old Testament Catholic Church and for Sardinia.
The choir sang hymns again, and together with the guests watching the ceremony, the nobles knelt down on one knee in front of Alex according to their titles to show their loyalty and respect. Prince Albert, who belongs to the Carlos bloodline, is just watching the ceremony because he is not yet a minor - he looks at the camera and screen from time to time. Although he knows that the abdicated king's appearance during the coronation of the new king will bring ominousness, he still I hope to see that familiar figure from a corner of the screen - he has no memory of his parents. Since he was a little baby, he has only been surrounded by Her Majesty Queen Maria and Madame Rambal and his brother. .
After hearing the bad news, he realized that he was still just a child, who he had always thought was mature enough.
Alex stood up from the throne and stretched out his hand to the blond boy. He immediately ran over and tightly grasped the hand that was wider than him.
He walked outside the church with his brother, and he didn't let go until an adult Sealand horse with a saddle and bridle was brought over. The King of Sardinia patted him gently on the shoulder and grabbed him. Holding on to the excess part of the coronation robe, Li Li put on the king's sword for himself, and then jumped on the horse's back. The horse jogged across a not-so-long distance under the attention of the people, and boarded the mountain collected by all parties in Sardinia. The oath platform built from the dirt that came from the land.
The undead man lowered his head slightly, touched the cold handle of Wang Jian, held it, pulled it out, raised his head, and pointed it to the sky.
"I declare to you that my entire life, whether long or short, will be dedicated to my country and my people."
His voice was neither loud nor high, but miraculously, everyone heard it very clearly.
Immediately, like a storm that had been suppressed for a long time, people burst into cheers.
"God bless your majesty!" "Long live the king!"
"Long live the Queen"
¡¡
People shouted as much as they wanted, but still the hot liquid in their eyes overflowed, crossed their cheeks, and seeped into the corners of their mouths, bringing a hint of bitterness to their tongues and throats.
Alex lowered his sword-holding hand. The coronation dress would not include a watch, but even if the ritual process was not arranged to the second, the undead could easily find the correct time from the shadow given by the sun to the king's sword.
The wireless concealed miniature earpiece hidden at the base of the ear rustled - this is for the staff to guide the crown prince in the event of an accident, but what is coming now is the voice of Her Majesty Queen Maria.
"I'm proud of you, my child." She said softly, completely unlike a dying person whose life counts every minute - her tone was happy and leisurely, as if she was not in a desperate situation, but on the balcony of the palace. Watching all this behind the curtain: "You are the best.".
¡There was silence on the phone for a while again, and she said: ¡°Farewell, my child¡ I love you.¡±
Then there was a loud voice coming from the microphone - she or someone else was covering the microphone to prevent the recipient from hearing the message she did not want the other party to hear, but for the undead who are equally sensitive to hearing and vision, In general, this voice mixed in the fuzzy noise was no different from the previous speech.
"It's almost touching my shadow. It's unimaginable I'm sorry, can you please turn off the machine Don't let Alex see this"
The eternal silence has finally arrived.
