Heroes of Silver Moon

Chapter 591: : The new king ascends the throne

Early in the morning, the news of the king's death spread, causing the people in the capital to panic.

Fortunately, there is also good news that the new monarch will receive patriarchal baptism in the Moonlight Cathedral at noon today. This represents a smooth transition of power, and there will be no violent strife within the kingdom.

These ordinary people can also continue to live in peace.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

In the Grand Duke's mansion, the envoys of the royal family came to convey the news. Simon, who had already been mentally prepared, put on his dress immediately and went to the cathedral to attend the new king's enthronement ceremony.

Somewhere in the aristocratic district, the mansion of the Sissoko family, after confirming that the news of the old king's death was true, Marquis Sissoko loosened the tie around his neckline.

"This old guy is finally dead!" Marquis Sissoko heaved a sigh of relief.

Over the years, the king has suppressed the lord's power so hard that he can't breathe. Now, he can finally slow them down...

Another Hood family mansion, Marquis Hood also confirmed the authenticity of the news immediately.

"Great, this old guy is finally dead! Quickly, open a bottle of good red wine for me, we will not stop until we get drunk!" Marquis Hood shouted excitedly.

Finally dead! Finally dead! The tough Willy XVI is dead, and the newly appointed Jonas is much easier to deal with than this one!

"This... my lord, we still have to go to the king's enthronement ceremony! Will this be..." Some attendants expressed their concerns.

"Oh, hell! Forget about that damned king! Open a bottle of red wine for me!" said Marquis Hood nonchalantly.

King Jonas? Heh, it's just a kid, what the hell!

That's right, even though Crown Prince Yona is now in his forties, in the eyes of Marquis Hood, he is still a kid who hasn't grown up yet.

Who made Marquis Hood already over seventy years old.

"Okay, my lord!" The helpless attendant had no choice but to open a bottle of red wine for Marquis Hood to celebrate the old king's death.

 …

Arriving at the Moonlight Cathedral, it has been jointly blocked by the royal knights and the church knights, prohibiting irrelevant people from entering. Relying on his own identity, Simon took Guy and entered here easily.

He is now the real Marquis of the kingdom, with a distinguished status, and he is absolutely qualified to participate in this ceremony.

Entering the cathedral, Simon saw the busy priests of the church who were setting up the venue at the moment. The old king's death was so sudden that the church was not prepared at all.

I also saw Irina, who looked sad, sitting on a wooden chair in the cathedral with her mother, Stein, with a face full of bewilderment.

Simon hurried over and hugged Irina, and Her Royal Highness was relieved a lot.

"Simon!" Erina was hugged in her arms, looked up at Simon, her eyes were red, and she faintly wanted to cry.

Simon sighed in his heart, and hugged Her Royal Highness even tighter.

The state of Crown Princess Stein is much better than that of her daughter. She is married into the royal family, and she does not have a deep relationship with the old king, but is more afraid.

Now that her husband is about to ascend the throne, she should be happy instead.

The king was newly mourned, and no one dared to speak too much. While waiting in silence, more and more nobles rushed to the cathedral.

At noon, the busy priest finally completed the layout of the venue, and the dressed-up Pope Moonlight appeared in front of everyone with the also dressed-up Crown Prince Jonas.

"Have you arrived yet?" Pope Moonlight asked solemnly.

The death of a king, the departure of an old friend, even he would inevitably feel a little sad.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis Hood has not come yet!" Earl Hamilton replied with an ugly expression.

How dare Marquis Hood not come to the new king's enthronement ceremony? This is completely disrespectful to the new king!

Everyone frowned, even Crown Prince Yona, who had always been mild-tempered, couldn't help frowning at this moment.

What is the meaning of this Marquis Hood?

"Ignore him, let's start the coronation and baptism ceremony first!" Crown Prince Yona waved his hand, temporarily putting this unpleasantness behind him.

Seeing what the new king did, all the nobles present couldn't help but narrow their eyes, revealing thoughtful gazes.

The new king was indeed as gentle as the rumors said!

Seeing the gazes of Marquis Sissoko and others, Simon's heart thumped suddenly. Hell, what is going on with his father-in-law, he actually showed weakness in this situation!

The correct way to deal with it should be to temporarily suspend the ceremony and send someone to arrest Marquis Hood.

Once these great nobles are allowed to see the weakness of the new king, they will soon have a different heart!

The Pope Moonlight also took a deep look at Crown Prince Jonas, but he didn't say anything. The Moonlight Church has always been neutral to the secular power struggle.

The Willy royal family is the ruler handpicked by the goddess of moonlight. Even if the king of this generation is emptied of power, they will never be replaced by others.

If any lord has such thoughts, then it is time for the Moonlight Church to take action.

As long as he does not fall and has a righteous name, with the passage of time, power will eventually return to the Willy royal family.

So, there is nothing to worry about!

In the solemn and solemn playing, Crown Prince Jonas, who was dressed in fine clothes, knelt down in front of the Moonlight Pope.

The Pope Moonlight stood on the altar covered with a golden red carpet, holding the unsheathed sword of kingship in his left hand and the scepter representing theocracy in his right hand.

In the midst of everyone's attention, Pope Moonlight patted the sword of kingship on Crown Prince Jona's left shoulder, and solemnly read:

"Jona Willy, a descendant of the Willy family, a descendant of the Moonlight Goddess, a noble and pure bloodline."

"Are you willing to fulfill the duties of a king, protect the people of the kingdom from harm, and protect the kingdom's land from encroachment?"

"I am willing!" Crown Prince Yona raised his head, looked directly into the eyes of Pope Moonlight, and replied frankly.

"Are you willing to protect the faith and let the whole kingdom be bathed in the glory of the goddess of moonlight?" Pope Moonlight looked at Crown Prince Jonas under the altar with interrogating eyes.

This question is the most important thing.

The Moonlight Goddess doesn't care about how the low-level people live, but the Silver Moon Kingdom is the religious vassal state of the Moonlight Goddess, so they must firmly believe in the Moonlight Goddess!

"I am willing!" Crown Prince Yona replied solemnly.

As the descendants of the Moonlight Goddess, the royal family of Willy has long been tied to the Moonlight Goddess. The fundamental interests of the Moonlight Goddess are the fundamental interests of their Willy royal family!

"Very good! In the name of the Moonlight Goddess, a new king was born in the Silver Moon Kingdom today!"

Pope Moonlight raised his scepter, handed the sword of kingship to Crown Prince Jonas, and said with a kind smile, "My child, go to the final baptism now!"

Crown Prince Yona looked solemn, holding the sword of kingship in both hands, and slowly stood up. The nuns of the church, who had already prepared, hurried forward to take off this man's clothes, leaving only a lining.

I saw him holding the sword of kingship in his hand, stepping into the pool filled with holy water, and the pool water slowly submerged his head.

Under the eyes of everyone, Crown Prince Yona disappeared into the holy water pool, and then...King Yona stood up from the pool!

Holding the sword of kingship and walking out of the pool, the nuns hurried forward, dried the king's body with dry towels, and put on the king's fine clothes.

Pope Moonlight held a crown of laurel flowers made of platinum, and slowly put it on the new king's head. The nobles watching the ceremony below burst into warm applause.

So far, Crown Prince Yona, who has completed the patriarchal baptism, has officially become the King of Silver Moon!

At the end of the ceremony, all the nobles and high-level church officials went up to congratulate and pledge allegiance with smiles, and Simon was no exception.

"Good boy, I accept your allegiance, get up!" King Yona personally helped his son-in-law up, making the nobles jealous.

Starting today, the new marquis will also become the top figure in the kingdom.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I'm late!" At this moment, there was a noise from outside the cathedral, and Marquis Hood, who smelled of alcohol, stumbled in.

All the nobles squinted their eyes, waiting to see how the new king would deal with it. If the Marquis Hood, who was obviously contemptuous of the royal power, was still weak...

King Jona frowned, feeling a bit embarrassed for a while. Marquis Hood is a great lord, and if the punishment is too excessive, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the lords.

But if I don't deal with it, I always feel that there is no place to put my face, which is troublesome!

But Simon was not happy, and shouted with a dark face: "The new king ascended the throne, how dare you not come to congratulate him at the first time, what is your intention, come here, detain Marquis Hood, and punish him with ten lashes in public!"

All the nobles were surprised, what's the situation with this one, is he standing up for the new king? To flog a real marquis in public, this is the rhythm of offending the Hood family to death!

Even King Yona looked at Simon in a daze, no, he was planning to leave this matter alone, so what is this kid doing?

Marquis Hood was also stunned, and suddenly his anger surged up. The new king hasn't said anything yet. You are a brat, and you dare to punish me!

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you take him down quickly!" Seeing that the royal knights had not moved for a long time, Simon immediately angrily scolded.

"Oh!" These knights loyal to the royal family just woke up like a dream, and walked towards Marquis Hood.

"I'll see who dares!" Marquis Hood was also extremely angry, and he drew his long sword in public. The guards of the Hood family also took the opportunity to break through the blockade and protected Marquis Hood.

"Master Marquis, is this going to rebel?" Simon sarcastically said with a cold face.

Seeing those royal knights, he hesitated to move forward because of his scruples about the status of Marquis Hood, so Simon shouted at the church knights around him: "Take down this traitor!"

The church knight wearing the church blouse was even more stunned. From ancient times to the present, no non-church high-ranking person dared to issue orders to them!

Simon's identity as the Son of God has always been well hidden, and the grassroots of these churches don't know it.

The church knights guarding the cathedral looked at Pope Moonlight one after another. Seeing that the Pope closed his eyes and remained expressionless, he immediately knew what to do.

Pulling out their long swords, these knights who were loyal to the church also surrounded Marquis Hood.

At this moment, the faces of the nobles who were watching changed drastically, and the church has made it clear.

Now, Marquis Hood is going to be in trouble!

The Marquis Hood, who was surrounded, was also terrified. His brain, which was paralyzed by alcohol, suddenly woke up. If this matter is not handled properly, the Hood family may be in danger of being destroyed.

"Please forgive my rudeness, Your Majesty!" Marquis Hood held up the long sword in both hands, and slowly knelt down, looking like he was being slaughtered.

Seeing this, the guards of the Hood family quickly followed suit.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Hood first despised the royal power, and then offended His Majesty. According to the laws of the kingdom, he should be beheaded for public display, and his title and family fief should be deprived!" Simon shouted unrelentingly.

The expressions of the surrounding nobles changed again and again, this man is so murderous! Kingdom law? Where did the kingdom's laws come from? It's not just a matter of a word from these dignitaries!

The strength is strong, there is no one~www.readwn.com~ The strength is not strong, there is no one.

Unfortunately, Simon, who is now closely united with the royal family, is the stronger one!

It was Marquis Sissoko who stood up and helped Marquis Hood: "Your Majesty, at Lord Simon's engagement ceremony yesterday, Marquis Hood was too happy. He played late into the night and drank a lot of wine, which led to I hope His Majesty will give you a lighter punishment for today's gaffe!"

Seeing this, all the lords also pleaded for mercy, joking, if Marquis Hood is really allowed to die here, then everyone, wait for the royal family to continue to suppress it!

King Yona looked around, and then he came back to his senses. These damned **** were actually testing his bottom line.

If they see weakness today, then tomorrow, they will push forward unscrupulously!

Fortunately, Simon took a bite for him, otherwise, it would be difficult for him in the days to come...

"Hmph, since there is a reason for the incident, of course the punishment should be lighter, just as Lord Simon said before, let's whip ten lashes in public!" King Jona snorted coldly.

It is impossible to kill Marquis Hood, even if it is directly torn face with the lord's forces, but let them see the majesty of the royal family!

With the king's order, the hesitant royal knights breathed a sigh of relief, and went up to take Marquis Hood away.

After a while, whippings and screams came from outside the cathedral.

Inside the cathedral, Marquis Sissoko and others looked at Simon with a meaningful gaze... The old thing, everyone is dead, and it was returned to the new king, leaving behind a mad dog!

Now, it would be difficult to take the new king out of the air. At least, it would be impossible before the Marquis Simon was killed!
