Under the witness of everyone, as a true priest placed the crown on Prince Dwayne's head, Dwayne received the scepter to rule the kingdom.

Standing in front of the throne, King Dewane received overwhelming congratulations and blessings. He smiled and faced everyone politely. From time to time, he raised his hand and waved to his subjects, who responded with warm cheers. , next to the throne, the corners of the old queen's eyes were sore and she shed tears. This scene reminded her of the coronation day of Cassius V decades ago. She kept crying, and the maids beside her also kept crying. I thought the old queen was crying with joy.

The guests crowded into the palace, talking and laughing in the brightly lit palace. Thanks to the preparations made by the old king for many days, Devine's coronation was unprecedentedly grand. The entire palace was reflected magnificently inside and outside, and time passed. Approaching the government affairs, the brilliant sunlight shines on the long stairs outside the palace gate, and even the stone pillars around the stairs are illuminated with golden light, as if they are welcoming someone.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess's carriage is here!"

Following the report from an attendant, the palace became agitated again. They all crowded to the gate of the palace eagerly, looking out at the long steps of the palace. The royal maids and servants also started moving non-stop at this moment. They all dressed up and came outside the palace. They lined up in a long line to welcome the princess. The decorations outside the palace were glowing rose-colored in the sun. like luster.

The newly crowned King Devine slowly stepped down from the throne. His plan was proceeding as scheduled. At this moment, in addition to the wedding, he was also waiting for another ceremony, and that ceremony was prepared by the shamans. The sacred ceremony is the true coronation ceremony.

When King Devine walked towards the gate of the palace, the guests crowded near the palace gave way. At this moment, King Devine was shining with golden light. He wore the crown like a half-god and half-man figure. There is an indescribable majesty and majesty in his every move, which makes people dare not feel disobedient and offended, and even can't help but crawl in front of him.

King Devane came to the gate of the palace calmly, and at this time, Althea's carriage also stopped outside the palace. The Deschanels were guarding the carriage. At this moment, under Bright's order , making way for Her Royal Highness the Princess.

As the curtain of the carriage swayed slightly, the guests could not help holding their breath at this moment. Each of them knew very well that the famous Deschanel beauty was about to get out of the car, and the bride was about to walk towards his fiancé. , and offered the kiss of peace to her king.

King Devine stopped in front of the carriage. The curtain of the carriage had been opened by the maid, and a woman who was dressed up and showed elegance in her movements slowly stepped out of the carriage in front of everyone.

"Why... you're older than I thought?"

"The princess seems to have a lot of wrinkles."

"The skin is not as smooth as the legend says? God, what's going on?"

………………

In front of everyone, there was a lot of discussion.

Sister Cassandra, who was wearing a wedding dress, stepped out of the carriage and bowed to King Devine.

"May I offer you a kiss of peace? Your Majesty, Osenko."

Sister Cassandra asked teasingly as she was told.

King Devine stood there, his expression quickly turning pale after the initial confusion.

"Where has your princess gone?!"

In front of the palace gate, a dull and furious roar sounded.

"Your Majesty Osenko, Your Highness..."

Sister Cassandra said coldly:

"...went to the Tribulation Field."

As the cage truck approached the square, more and more citizens crowded around, and people were crowded around. Things about Eden continued to spread among them. Suddenly, their purpose changed unknowingly, and they no longer I came here to see Prince Flo's execution, but I came here to see Eden's execution.

The guillotine stands on a wooden platform in the square, with ancient rituals painted around it. In the center of the platform stands an executioner. He is wearing a gray linen vest, with sweat on his shoulders. He looks like he has been standing in the sun for a long time. The ax in his hand has been polished to a shiny finish. To be honest, using an ax to decapitate a head is a test of the executioner's skill and technique. It not only requires the executioner to have enough strength, but also requires the executioner to have sufficient skills. Even an experienced executioner sometimes suffers from the problem that the blade of the ax is too sharp. Shortly, there will be times when he misses and chops off his head.

When dealing with beheadings, the Deschanel Empire would use a broadsword with an extremely thin and sharp edge. This broadsword is easy to use and can cut off a person's head extremely easily, fast enough, and even possibly In addition to this widely used broadsword, the emperor also imported a batch of guillotines from the dwarves. It is said that this kind of machine can easily remove people's heads.

Although the ax is difficult to use, the Osenko people still use it, not because of anything else, but because it is the traditional custom of Osenko.

Since an era that is even more distant than the tribal era, the Osenko people have attached great importance to tradition, followed tradition, and even loved tradition. Especially the common people, they wish that everything should be done according to tradition. In their hearts, sacred tradition is far away. More important than law, law is just an explanation and supplement to tradition.

A large number of people gathered around the high platform. They watched the cage car being escorted to the square. At this time, the sound on the field became even noisier.

On the cage car, at this time, Prince Flo finally felt a hint of panic. He saw not only the executioner standing on the high platform, but also two assistants standing on the high platform to help with the execution.

He was not afraid of the executioner, but rather afraid of the two assistants. The two men had bare arms, exposing their muscles in the sun. One of them held a rope, and the other kept fixing the wooden pier for beheading. The two coffins that had been prepared were silent. Lying on the execution ground.

Eden glanced at him. At this time, he came back to his senses and asked casually:

"Are you afraid?"

Prince Flo was filled with anger and shouted angrily:

"It is you who are afraid, blasphemous thing!"

After finishing speaking, Prince Flo was unyielding. He seemed to be issuing the most vicious curse. While insulting Eden, he said: The days of the true believers are over. Although he will die with the true believers today, he It is glorious. In the future, His Majesty Devine will restore his reputation and reward his family, and the gods will also welcome his soul. But Eden, this priest will be cast aside by all people and regarded as the source of sin.

When the cage car arrived at the wooden platform, countless people's eyes fell on Eden. They all knew that this man should not have died at this time, and it was not fair or just to let the priest die at this time. I don't know where to start, but Eden's innocent voice suddenly came from the crowd, and this voice seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

The executioner on the stage rang the bell, signaling that it was time for execution. People sometimes looked at the guillotine, and sometimes looked at the condemned prisoners in the cage. There were many civilians who had received Eden's favor. They lowered their heads and began to worship their gods. Praying and mourning for him, at this time, although people felt sorry for his death, they did not dare to interrupt the execution.

In the cage, the guards first pushed Eden out, and then Prince Flo. They pushed Eden first, obviously intending to execute this man.

Eden walked on the high platform, refused the white gauze handed over by the guard, and came to the wooden pier.

Strangely, death was approaching, but Eden didn't have a trace of fear in his heart. He raised his face, looked at the sky in the distance, opened his mouth, and recited scriptures silently. An assistant heard that it was a requiem scripture. , I was stunned for a moment, this man actually wanted to transcend his own soul.

When Eden came to the wooden pier, he could think of nothing else. His eyes were always staring at the sky, and the scriptures he was speaking slowly stopped. Two assistants pressed his shoulders and asked him to kneel down in front of the wooden pier. , and pressed his head down. The executioner on the side was gesturing the distance and begging for the blessing of the God of Execution.

The wind seemed to have stopped, and the crowd also stopped making noise at this moment, and all held their breaths. Eden on the execution ground remained motionless, as if his whole body had been filled with lead, quietly accepting his death.

At this time, the heads of people in the distance suddenly started to move, and there was an earth-shaking noise, followed by a carriage that seemed to be digging into the square.

"Stop! Stop!"

A chorus of shouts suddenly sounded, like thunder descending and overwhelming the sea. The monks of the Fahora sect who had planned it in advance shouted in unison, and the true believers immediately joined in the shouting.

The executioner on the high platform was suddenly frightened. He stopped in place for a moment and saw the carriage getting closer and closer to the high platform. Many people recognized it as Deschanel's carriage!

The horses were running wildly under the whip, and they were roaring. The guards were frightened and moved out of the way for a moment. The carriage stopped on the execution platform, and a beautiful white figure suddenly rushed out from it. She was wearing a wedding dress. , holding the garland in her hand, she jumped on the carriage and jumped to the high platform. She stumbled to Eden. Regardless of anyone's obstruction, she raised the garland, put it on Eden's head with all her strength, and tried her best to face Eden. Shouting all around:

“Osenko people,

I married him! I married him! "

In the kingdom of Osenko, a place where tradition is regarded as life, there is a barbaric but humane custom: if a girl is willing to marry a condemned prisoner, even the sin of blasphemy must be forgiven.
