Chapter 557 The coronation ceremony with twists and turns


Chapter 557 The twists and turns of the coronation ceremony

Du Lun was speechless again. Ilea didn't know if it was her imagination. She seemed to see Du Lun glance in her direction.

The female lord wondered whether the former captain of the royal guard was ill and sought medical treatment. She hoped that she could come out to help and say something at this time.

It's a pity that Du Lun found the wrong person. Although Ilea sympathized with Du Lun, she was self-aware.

She is just a minor noble from the Western Region, a mascot that Gars found to make up the numbers. Today, anyone in this hall who can be picked at random has a much higher status than her.

Miss Rabbit felt a little regretful after speaking just now.

Because Military Minister Aulis looked at her with obvious displeasure, not to mention that no matter who spoke for Duren at the moment, it would be tantamount to offending the new emperor of the empire, and Ilea did not want to cause trouble for herself.

Therefore, she could only support Du Lun mentally. Moreover, Miss Rabbit turned her head and found that her backbone was missing. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Li Yu to return to her side.

"Where did you go just now?" The girl lowered her voice and asked curiously.

"Let's talk to a place with few people." Li Yu said calmly.

Ilea knew that Li Yu had a wireless walkie-talkie on his body and could communicate with people outside even in the Junlin Tower.

But the female lord didn't know why Li Yu suddenly contacted people outside. She scratched her head, and then noticed that Cornelia was also looking this way.

To be more precise, the priestess was staring at Li Yu.

Li Yu, on the other hand, looked indifferent, because it didn't matter even if Cornelia saw him using the walkie-talkie, the priestess didn't know him at all.

Du Lun was already being escorted down. The guards were very polite. They said they were escorting him but did not take action. They just let Du Lun walk to the dungeon by himself.

Du Lun didn't resist anymore and left the palace silently.

The interrupted coronation ceremony could finally continue, and this time there were no uninvited guests to disturb it.

Garth got his wish and wore the crown symbolizing supreme power, took over the family's ancestral sword, and became the new emperor of the empire.

When the representatives of the other eleven major families successively swore allegiance to him, Garth did not immediately give him a lunch as usual, but announced two things first.

The first thing is a reward.

Garth publicly offered a reward for the discovery of Edward II's murderer.

Although Du Lun, who was previously responsible for investigating this matter, has now been imprisoned, the new emperor obviously does not intend to give up avenging his father.

The reward offered was a full 100,000 gold lions, and he once again proved his innocence through this move, eliminating the negative impact that Duren's "slander" might have had on his reputation.

This is undoubtedly a very smart approach.

But the second thing is a bit confusing. Garth... arranged the marriage between his younger brother, the third prince Allister, and Duke Schroeder's daughter "Icefield Rose".

Duke Schroeder is the head of the Monteverde family, one of the twelve nobles in the empire, and the Monteverde family rules the northern border of the empire.

The climate there is cold, but the land is vast and the products are rich, especially furs.

The most important thing is that Duke Schroeder only has three daughters and no sons. Among them, the eldest daughter believes in the beast god Domon and has become the high priest of the Ice Church. The third daughter is too young, less than six years old.

In other words, once Allister marries Duke Schroeder's second daughter, he will also have the right to inherit the North.

Of course, it is impossible for a big family like Monteverde to really give their territory to the Vespasian family through marriage.

Duke Schroeder would most likely let his youngest daughter inherit the territory, or choose a male from a branch of the family to bear his name.

But even so, Allister is still very likely to become the de facto master of the North.

Duke Schroeder is not in good health. He has stayed in the south to recuperate in recent years, leaving all matters in the territory to be handled by his second daughter, Allister's fiancée.

After the two get married, Allister will also live in the North, and the couple will handle government affairs together. Considering that Ice Rose is a woman after all, it will take quite some time for Duke Schroeder's third daughter to grow up.

Allister's power in the North is definitely not small, and this marriage is an opportunity for him.

But the question is why Garth was so generous and gave his younger brother such a strong backing.

You must know that the two had a quarrel a few days ago, accusing each other of possibly having something to do with the death of Edward II.

All the nobles in the hall couldn't figure out the reason at all.

Could it be that Garth actually trusts his younger brother very much and is not wary at all?

This is of course impossible.

Garth didn't really want to let Allister go to the north, but this was a deal between him and Cornelia.

Garth did not expect that the person Cornelia would choose to support after the death of Edward II would be Allister.

Fortunately, the priestess promised that Allister would not compete with him for the throne, and was also willing to help him solve any trouble he might encounter.

Considering the terrifying influence of the Church of Life in the Royal Capital, Garth could not fall out with them for the time being, so he might as well send this threat to the north, out of sight and out of mind.

Although the place was vast, there were not as many people as in the Western Territory, and there was also a Beast God Cult. Garth felt that Allister and the Church of Life would not be able to make any waves there, so he finally agreed to the deal.

After saying these two things, Garth finally announced the start of the luncheon.

Miss Rabbit, who was already a little hungry after hearing this, couldn't wait to rush to a plate of butter apples, and then got herself a plate of peacock meat...

She didn't care much about politics, and she didn't know anyone here. She didn't talk to each other like other nobles, discussing the few things that had just happened, but just immersed herself in her work.

The food at the tournament has already made the female lord full of praise, and the food provided on Garth's coronation day is even more exquisite and rare.

If you miss it again, you don’t know when you will be able to eat it again.

The female lord has made up her mind that this time she must hold the wall in and help the wall out.

However, she had just eaten when she was 30% full when there was another noise outside, and then someone shouted.

"No, there are assassins, those from the Wing Tribe. They are really here! Protect Your Majesty quickly!!!"

While talking, another group of royal guards rushed in from the outside and surrounded Galsili on the third floor and the third floor.

Gars was a little unhappy. He didn't expect so many things to go wrong during his coronation ceremony, and the guards seemed to have mentioned the Wing Tribe just now.

Garth asked a guard who came to escort him, "Where is the assassin now?"

When the guard heard this, he pointed upward, "Right above our heads, Your Majesty." (End of Chapter)
