Episode 255: The Coronation Ceremony (3)

The people of Ethnoren, the royal castle, moved busily.

It was the biggest event of all time, so there was no time to talk to each other.

Even in the midst of that, I was afraid of being caught, so I paid attention to how I dressed and did not forget my etiquette.

Of course, I relaxed in a place out of the eyes of others.

“Ugh, I mean, I’m in charge until today. What kind of trouble are you?”

The maid gasped.

The place where she arrived is the Tower of the Kings.

There was quite a distance, and my lungs throbbed because I rushed in.

It would be nice if we could rest like this for a while longer, but unfortunately, there are people who are waiting.

A terrifying man with the power to cut her throat with a word.

After roughly wiping away sweat, the maid opened the iron bars and opened the door.

In the room was the first princess, Silis.

As expected, it was the same as the one I laid in bed last night.

It’s uncomfortable to look at, but it’s a doll, not a person, so of course there’s no way to move. It’s impossible to even complain about anything.

If you stimulate it hard, a seizure occurs inside the body, and if it is severe, the heart stops, but there is nothing that reacts to this extent.

“Then I will take you.”

I roughly seated Silis in a wheelchair.

deed deed deed. Without respect, I roughly crossed the deserted hallway. It wasn’t until the person was in sight that she took care to straighten her posture.

Then we headed to the royal family’s dressing room.

Experts waiting in advance decorated Silis with colorful clothes and makeup. There was an order from the royal family to decorate it as much as possible for the event.

Afterwards, when he went outside, the royal family’s carriages were waiting in line.

“As you commanded, I have brought Her Highness Sillis.”

“From now on, I will serve you, so go away.”

The maid bowed deeply.

Chancellor Paloland dragged a wheelchair and made a colonel in front of the first prince. He, too, had just been outfitted for the coronation ceremony.

Valrgna rubbed her chin and scanned Silis.

“hmm… … .”

It wasn’t the way he looked at his half-brother.

It was like the eyes of an appraiser and seller who judged the value of goods.

“Isn’t there anything more to do? Though his mind is empty, at least he looks like a member of the royal family. Let it burn.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Siles, in his wheelchair, was loaded into the carriage in the back row.

Valgna, who had been watching him, also moved. She proudly fluttered a cloak bearing the kingdom’s symbol, and rode in the most luxurious center carriage.

Hee hee hee—!

A muscular horse puts strength on its legs.

The royal family’s royal knights and court wizards escort him. The protagonists of the day headed to the plaza of Letia, the royal capital.

* * *

Love love love!

Verden, who had safely broken through the seal, galloped high above the sky.

Wrapped around the three light rings again, his speed had long since reached its peak.

When I counted the days, it was tight to arrive at the coronation on time, so I had been flying for about two days without any rest.

Even so, I didn’t feel any tiredness whatsoever.

It must be because he became a semi-transcendental person, and his body itself exceeded human limits.

Well, even if it wasn’t for that, I could have easily endured this much forced march.

The amount of horsepower was overflowing, and it was because I had been steadily training my physical strength. Verden was a prepared mage.

by the way.

‘For some reason, the sky is still.’

The closer you get to the royal capital, the more so.

It could be simply because of my mood, but I knew very well that a big incident was going to happen in the capital, so I couldn’t overlook it.

Verden fell into contemplation.

‘It is difficult to predict the power and performance of a witch’s magic.’

The seal of the entire Loapra.

And even moving the reality of the dark merchant party.

I could guess that it wasn’t an instant form of magic.

Because Sillis said it was all a plan. It was a self-evident fact that some kind of preparation had been made in advance.

But that’s not particularly noteworthy.

The important thing is that it is different in type and nature from the hierarchical magic that Verden knew.

‘The manager did. When analyzed magically, the specific trait is part of the magic.’

And Silis is not just a holder of a peculiar trait.

She knows how to use magic that only witches can use. In other words, Silis could be considered a single mage.

More dangerous than the existing mages.

But one question could not be dispelled.

‘Can Silis really handle Leonil?’

The 6th rank flame mage, Leonil the Mad Flame.

Although I have never met him directly, I know indirectly that his magical abilities are excellent.

Having easily subdued the Guardian Elf, Karanth, he is said to be the strongest in the kingdom of Estyria.

Even if it was Verden, it was not a level to deal with moderately.

In addition, as the leader of the court mages, he must have all sorts of magic items. Maybe he owns an artifact.

‘Unlike the manager.’

It was judged that it would be difficult to easily rule out Leonil even if he inherited an unusual trait and used an artifact related to it.

Verden is skeptical.

And there was one more thing that could be a problem.

‘The witch’s heart that Leonil has.’

Because Verden had dealt with Grond, Leonil was unable to acquire a unique trait holder. So, the experiment could not be completed.

But it is not an absolute proposition.

Leonil is a mad mage who has lost his humanity and has experimented with humans for a long time. The moment he seizes the victory, he must end his life without giving a gap.

Because the cornered guy didn’t know what to do. Maybe the situation will develop in an unexpected direction.

‘I’ll find out when I arrive.’

Verden focused on flying.

Now the king has almost reached Letia.

* * *

The day of the coronation has arrived.

Not too long ago, a turbulent air current was flowing implicitly in the aftermath of the undead crisis and civil war, but not as much as today.

The streets of the royal capital crowded with crowds were full of life.

“Sandwich with hot cheese and smoked pork! Including drinks, especially today, only 660 elk!”

“Mom, I want to eat that!”

“Yes, yes. Let’s finish eating and go get some ice cream.”

“and! Dad, look over there! excuse me! Knights!”

Families strolling through the streets and enjoying the vibrancy.

Some people were seen quarreling and creating a commotion along the way, but when the guards came out, they shut their mouths and quietly disappeared.

Even though there were so many people, unpleasant things often happened, but it was much better than the previous hideous atmosphere.

thud! thud! thud!

At that time, the floor of the royal road vibrated.

Knights with identical armor and swords are opening the way. The sound of their heavy footsteps seemed to resonate in my heart.

Just like the sea parting, the middle of the street was empty before I knew it.

Above it, carriages with the royal family’s mark appear.

The royal guard knights wearing golden armor guarded the side, the court wizards watched the surroundings, and the flying boat fleet belonging to the royal family occupied the high skies.

“and… … .”

It was truly spectacular.

Everyone expressed their admiration as if they had promised.

Soon the carriage stopped.

The knights lined up, moving in perfect order, without an inch of error. Balugna stepped into the center of the square where the majestic air flowed.

Is it because the clothes you wear are different? Or are you qualified?

Now, he has escaped the princely tact and is showing off the image of a king.

“also. It is truly noble.”

“It’s a kingdom ruled by Her Highness Balugna. I am looking forward to the future.”

“It is said that he is a person who cares about people, so life will be better than before.”

Most people welcomed Valrgna.

Public opinion formed by designer Nellita. Also, due to the various bad things that happened in the kingdom, dissatisfaction was accumulating.

At a time like this, it is a very natural phenomenon that a crown is placed on Valrgna’s head, which in itself creates a new sense of expectation.

A wide podium installed in the plaza.

Climbing the stairs, Balugna lifted her chin and sat down. In turn, key figures such as Leonil, the Duke of Northramd, and the chancellor filled the vacant positions.

Finally, Princess Silis showed her face.

Her eyes were dead in her wheelchair, but perhaps that’s why her platinum hair looked more radiant in the sunlight.

“That, that, the doll princess… … ?”

“her… … .”

Citizens just kept their mouths shut.

I’ve only heard rumors, but this is the first time I’ve encountered it in real life.

“I never thought you would be this beautiful.”

“I agree too.”

I immediately understood why they were called dolls.

Even more attention was drawn to the stillness, without even a slight movement.

‘joy. Like goblins, they only follow what they see.’

In a situation where Silis had become the main character, Valrgna felt uncomfortable. Even so, she didn’t show it outwardly and went on smoothly.

Since then, the princess is a body that will be sold at a high price through an arranged marriage.

In order to increase its value, receiving public attention was a necessary step.

With this, all the seats on the podium were filled.

As is traditional, the premier is in charge of the coronation ceremony.

Chancellor Paloland opened an old parchment passed down through the royal family.

“From now on, we will hold the coronation ceremony for the first prince of the Estirian royal family, Balugna Bain di Estiria.”

The royal music band created an intimidating atmosphere.

A heavy, majestic, creepy background sound was everywhere.

Next, the chancellor recited the best practice of the Estyrian royal family.

After a long 15-minute recitation, it concluded. The chancellor, who quietly collected the parchment, looked at Balugna.

“Valgna Bane di Estiria, kneel with me.”

This is a necessary procedure to receive the crown.

Standing in the center of the podium, Balugna knelt down on one knee. Right after that, the Marquis of Esperenza walked alone at the same pace from afar.

jerk, jerk.

A purple cushion was held in both hands of the Marquis, and a cloth made by the royal family was covering it. Inside lies the crown for Valrgna.

‘Ha, finally.’

Valgna’s body trembled.

As I imagined the sight of a crown being placed over my head, my heart pounded violently.

Even the Marquis of Esperenza is the pinnacle of neutral aristocracy.

Receiving the crown and recognizing the kingship from him, not from anyone else, was significant in every way.

‘As expected, neutral nobles.’

It’s usually annoying and intrusive, but it’s very useful when it’s like this.

In addition, the other neutral nobles were holding a grudge against Balugna, and even checked the Duke of Devon in preparation for an accident.

‘You say you’re loyal to the kingdom, not the royal family?’

Yes, live like that forever.

Because I benefited greatly from it. And so it will be after that.

‘I am the kingdom.’

I felt like I was about to laugh at the stupid behavior of the neutral nobles.

If he laughed at the marquis who crowned him, what kind of expression would he make? Thinking pleasantly, Valrgna soothed the short wait.

That moment.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu—!

Waves began to rise on the outskirts of the capital.

I wondered if the knights were stomping their feet like before, but it had nothing to do with the coronation ceremony.

It was because Balugna, Chancellor, Leonil, and everyone else couldn’t hide their bewilderment.

“this… … What is this?!”

Quaaaaaaaa!

Rainbow-colored brilliance soars from the walls.

At regular intervals, dozens of pillars of magical power wrapped around the entire capital, and their tips penetrated beyond the clouds.

“Ha, the sky… … .”

The sky is changing.

A light purple twilight mixed with light and darkness covered the entire capital. Everyone couldn’t keep their mouth shut at the sudden phenomenon.

‘What kind of phenomenon is this?’

Leonil raised his eyesight and grasped the situation.

But with his knowledge, he couldn’t figure out what that sky was. Except that it’s a magical phenomenon.

“Louis, Luas!”

“Mamaaaaaa!”

“Kyaaak! Don’t push!”

Confusion begins to mount.

The soldiers tried to calm them down, but it was difficult to stop the rippling of the people. It only subsided after the knights came out.

However, it was only a matter of time before there was a commotion again.

Valrgna bit her lip.

‘I don’t know what it is, but I have to act quickly.’

Before the long-awaited coronation goes awry.

It was also his turn to demonstrate his abilities as a king. When the determined Prince 1 tried to give an order, a human shadow was cast.

“… … uh?”

The Marquis of Esperenza passed by.

Whether it’s the sky dyed auburn, or Balugna, the hero of the coronation ceremony, he walks as if he doesn’t care.

Confused eyes blindly followed him.

The Crown Bearer approached Silis.

“marquis? What are you doing there now?”

“… … .”

The Marquis lifted the cloth instead of answering.

There was nothing like the custom-made Valrgna crown on the cushion. Instead, there was only a grotesquely protruding thorn.

‘It’s a crown made of thorns… … ?’

Valrgna narrowed her eyes.

My head was blank in a situation I couldn’t understand at all.

The Marquis raised the crown of thorns with a heartless expression.

Then, he stretched out his arms toward Silis, who had lost his wit. Before anyone could stop it, the crown of thorns was placed on Silis’ head.

“Your Highness, the time has come.”

at the time? What time, what time?

At the moment of doubt, a ripple arose in Valrgna’s eyes.

Silis has lived as a doll for decades.

She moved on her own and raised her head.
