Masaru stands in the center of the altar, wearing a white robe embroidered with gold thread and a priestly uniform that he secretly made in the night.
Facing him, in the hall, in the front two rows, are the chief figures of the kingdoms of Greitas and Bazelarca. Lulu, the head of the Rabbit People, the representative of the original settlement of Vintaria, Zita and Mei, and the representatives of the various races sat quietly in their seats.
The mithril candlesticks were polished and evenly arranged, and the candles were pure white... The smell was faintly herbal, and the candles produced no smoke or soot, making you wonder if you were dreaming.
Candles in this world have a slightly peculiar smell, and they also produce a little smoke and soot.
"Now, the sacred artifacts!
A sacred object is a sign that the king has received a blessing from the gods when he is recognized as the representative of the kingdom, and the blessing is usually placed on a crown.
The door opened quietly, and Adelina, wearing a pale pink dress, and Zarg, wearing the standard black ceremonial dress, walked in holding a silver tray of mithril. Everyone watches with bated breath as the tray is gently placed on the altar.
"Now, let us call upon the gods. Let us invoke the gods.
Adelina and Zarg move to the edge of the altar, and those seated rise and kneel in place.
Adelina and Zarg moved to the edge of the altar. .
Soft light leaked from the top of the altar, and three figures descended to the altar.
As a matter of fact, when the gods appear, there is no such thing as light shining on them, but Masaru saw this as a weak point in the production, so he and Zeraphitis worked together to create a device that causes the crystal to glow when the switch is pressed.
Whether it is a fine art or a waste of effort is a delicate matter.
"Today, I bless this place as the Kingdom of Vintaria. .
At the moment of Victinius' proclamation, a film of light like an aurora borealis appeared on the border, though it was not seen by Masaru and the others who were indoors in the city that was the royal capital. This light, known as the Founding Light, was meant to announce the birth of a new nation and the extent of the land set aside for it, both internally and externally, over a period of seven days.
"Then, Adelina. You are hereby named Queen of Vintaria and shall be known as Adelina El Vintaria. Adelina.
"I do solemnly swear. "I do.
Pinch the edge of her dress and bow neatly.
"Then, Zailtarg. .
Who are you?
"......... is my real name. It's my real name. .... "Who?
Zarg tells us in a whisper, but everyone in the hall is reluctant to hear Masaru's strange behavior.
"......... Zyrtag. You are hereby crowned King of Adelina, and shall be known as Zyrtag ol Vintaria.
"I accept. I bow to you.
I bow gracefully.
I bow gracefully. The coronation will now take place. Everyone, please take your seats. Please take your seats.
From this point on, it is not necessary to kneel, as this is usually a ritual for those who present the sacred artifacts to the people.
"Then kneel, Adelina and Zailtarg. Kneel.
As they kneeled, Victinius placed the crowns on a tray on their heads.
"Well, Victinius. Take this as well. "And this one.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the wand.
"This is from me and Victinius. If we both wear crowns, Adelina might be looked down upon in this male-dominated world, right? With all these wands, it's easy to see which one is the king, right?
The wand, with its core of adamantite and surface coated with mithril, was a precise representation of a winged woman that anyone on Earth would have recognized as an angel. The angel's arms hold dark blue sapphires, and her eyes are adorned with aquamarines.
It's basically adamantite, so it's perfect for a self-defense weapon!
"You wouldn't hit me with a divine weapon... probably. Maybe.
Adelina, who was honest to a fault, couldn't say she wouldn't do it. It's just as well that she's a woman who fought a swarm of ants with a single mace.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.
"Next, to the front of the Slayhearts. You too?
You too?
"Masaru, you can talk to me later. Masaru...
Victinius was laughing at the repeated interruptions. In the midst of all this, Slay walks out to the altar, unsure of what's going on.
Bazelarka currently has only three heirs to the throne, one of whom is only one year old, and one of whom recently renounced his right to the throne. Therefore, you are the next king of Bazelarka and shall be known as Slaihartz Barad Bazelarka. "What?
What? What? What .........?
In the presence of the gods?
"......... you say. ............ No, I'll take orders from you. No, I command you.
It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything that might help you. I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.
So, I've repaired the crown of the sacred artifact used by the previous king of Bazelarca. "What?
"What? I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. ......... No, thank you. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.
"Yeah, I guess that's what I'll do. I guess that's it.
So, are we done? Get down on your knees. Kneel.
A crown is placed on the head of the kneeling Slay. In contrast to the crown of Vintaria, which is slender, graceful, and meticulously carved to reduce weight, the crown is large, luxurious, and heavy.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, let's go outside for the unveiling. Let's go outside and show it off.
Axiom, his wife and children will join him on the second floor balcony of the temple. Axiom, his wife and children will join you on the second floor balcony. Everyone else please join everyone outside.
Aksyon and his wife and children will join the others outside.
"Why are you suddenly ......... me?
"Hmm? Yeah, because you're the only one. You'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this sort of thing.
In case you're wondering, I told Bazelarka's country about the assassination attempt on the old man, about Slay's succession to the throne, and about the one-year-old child. The attempted assassins are in custody, it seems.
The reality of the trouble and the amount of work that's already been thrown at me is overwhelming.
You know what you're doing, don't you? You are in a position to support your country, and you accepted it when you were entrusted to Portarym, and you have learned a lot of things in preparation for it. There's no turning back now, so look ahead!
Sulei is at a loss for words at Adelina's reprimand: .......
I'm sure you're right, but ......... you could have told me in advance about today's event. ..........
"Yeah, I would have told you in the morning, but I was unconscious from all the commotion!
I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one.
......... Then it can't be helped. I'm not sure what to say. I'm sorry.
I'm not going to tell you about it, but I'm going to surprise you. The three pillars are trying hard to hold back their laughter, as they know that he had said, "I'm going to surprise you! Realizing this, Masaru hurried everyone along.
"Come on, guys! Let's hurry to the balcony! The people are waiting for us!
The city of Vintaria shuddered with loud cheers as the three pillars, the representatives of the three countries, and Masaru appeared from the balcony.
