Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 52 Mundy V (3)

Why is Zimovit Zarek telling him so much?He said he wanted to help me, but the interests of our two families are in conflict.

"My father would have the box of gold coins carried into Jaegerska Palace, before Her Majesty the Queen, and open it for her to marry my brother," Zimovet replied.

"But our Queen will reject him, not just him, she will reject all the duke's marriage proposals. Because she will agree to your father's proposal and marry Zhuo Ke Apollo."

"How can you be so sure?" Monty asked.

"Just look at your father, Monty Apollion. He sat on a high seat in Jaegerska Palace, looking down at the nobles of Vivaria, as if he was looking at his own servants." Zimo Werther reminded him.

"He already knew he had won because it was impossible for the queen to refuse his 'request'. He threatened the king of a country with a kingdom and the king of a country bowed."

Monty looked at his father, above the third rank, like a triumphant victor.It was the coronation of Queen Lozaria, and the arrival of the Father.

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean my sister is dead?" An angry voice came from the crowd.

"Do you need to shout so loud?" a bald man in a blue and white leather cloak called out even louder. "Dead is dead!"

"Where is my sister? How long has it been since I married my dear Nagelina to your son? She is a lady, and there is no way she could ride a horse, and how could she fall to her death?"

This roaring young man has long golden hair, and he is the "Dazzling One" Marius Jagoron mentioned by Zimovet just now.

A thinner blond man immediately stepped forward and grabbed Marius Jagoron, trying to calm him down.

"'Dazzling One' and 'Brutal Bear', this is really getting more and more interesting." Zimovit joked aside, "I thought this would be a boring coronation ceremony."

"Sometimes a lady wants to indulge herself!" "Reckless Bear" argued, "Didn't you change your taste and marry the youngest daughter of the Perk family? I remember you used to prefer men's butts!"

Marius Jagoron was so angry that his mouth was trembling, "I will not tolerate your insult to me and my sister, I demand a duel with you!"

As soon as "The Dazzling One" made his request for a duel, the hall immediately filled with exclamations.

"Oh... I didn't expect this." Zimovet looked at "Dazzling One" and "Reckless Bear" with interest, "It seems that love can make people blind."

"Can Duke Marius Jagoron beat this 'Brut Bear'?" Mundy asked.

"No one can tame a young 'Bear', not even 'Black Lord'." Zimovett replied.

"'Black Army Lord'?"

"Prince Rudomir Korva." Zimovet said, "'Dazzling One' is an excellent knight, although 'Brutal Bear' is not as fierce as before, but challenging him will only lead to a dead end."

Hearing Marius Jagoron's request for a duel, "Reckless Bear" immediately raised his head and laughed loudly. The arrogant and cheerful laughter resounded throughout the royal court.

He set his eyes on the face of "The Dazzling One", as if looking at a jester, "Okay, I gladly accept!" Then he looked at Queen Lozaria who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, and the latter looked The two nodded slightly.

The people next to "Reckless Bear" started to applaud him, as if he had already won.The people around Marius Jagoron looked at him worriedly.

"It seems that Her Majesty the Queen will personally choose the date of Duke Marius' death." Zimovit said.

"Don't talk so confidently," said Monty.He didn't want to see the "Dazzling One" lose, because he was willing to fight the strong with the weak and risk his life for himself and his family.

"Determination is important, Monty Apollion. But foolish determination is worthless," Zimovit said.

The priests leading a white bull, led by High Priest Bathorik Zarek, chanted prayers all the way to Queen Lozaria.

"What's this for?" Monty asked Zimovit.

"When the new king ascends the throne, the lily crown must be baptized with holy blood." Zimovet replied, "The blood of the white bull will wash away the oath of the previous king and witness the oath of the new king."

"I've never heard of the need to offer sacrifices at the coronation ceremony." Monty looked at the priests in gray robes with some disgust. They are servants of the star gods. They should not condone this barbaric Vivali Subtradition.

The priests buckled the two iron chains around the white bull's neck to the ground, and a priest knelt in front of the white bull with a lily crown in his hands.

After the high priest finished his prayer, he took the knife handed by the priest beside him, and with both hands, cut a big hole in the white bull's neck.

The white bull's screams resounded throughout the hall, and the tightly locked iron chain made it impossible to escape. It fell to its knees, its blood baptized the lily crown, and fell to the ground.

The screams and the flow of blood disturbed Monty. He wanted to look away from the white bull, but he was attracted by the bright red lily crown.

The priest held up the crown, and the high priest took it. He solemnly walked up to Queen Lozaria and lifted the lily crown over her head.

Blood dripped down the Queen's long, silky light-blond hair, along the crown and the High Priest's hand, and onto her light-blue robes.She closed her eyes, waiting for the coronation.

The high priest prayed loudly: "Nemir, Lord of the Stars, and his attendants, please listen to my prayer, and bless Lozaria Korva, your humble people!
For she will be crowned Queen of Vivalia today, and by the stars, please shower her with your blessings as she will be the guardian of your earthly kingdom!
Lozaria Korva, daughter of the former king Izdor Korva, was chosen by Vivalia as the new king, and the lily crown is ready to listen to the oath of the new master. "

Queen Lozaria opened her eyes and looked up at the crown and said: "I, Lozaria Korva, daughter of Izdor Korva, swear to the star gods and the crown of blood-soaked lilies:

I will do my best to maintain the peace and stability of the kingdom, justice and law; I will use my strength to protect my loyal vassals and keep our land from being invaded. "

"The gods have witnessed your oath, and your oath will be branded on the lily crown until the next king lifts it. Keep your oath, because the gods gave you the crown, and the gods can take it away." After saying that, the high priest put the blood-stained lily crown on Queen Lozaria's head.

"Long live the Queen!" cried the High Priest.

"Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen!" the people shouted, "Long live Vivaria! Long live Vivaria!"
