Pirate Kingship

Time flies, and it is already one week after the decisive battle of the Strait of Dover.

April 6, 1473, Silver Age.

Senior administrative officials from all over the country, nobles who seemed too sparse compared to the past, representatives of various branches of Protestantism, envoys from various countries, etc. all came to the capital of Kingston in their best clothes.

The streets and alleys of the entire capital were decorated with lights and colorful flowers, and the main roads where the parade was planned to be held were filled with various flowers produced by the [Famine Hunters] and the dark wizards of the Bloodthirsty Cult on both sides.

But the sky gradually became a little gloomy.

The navigators and pilots had already predicted that it would rain today, and reported to the new king that this day was not suitable for large-scale gatherings.

As they said, before dawn, dark clouds rushed from the direction of the Sea of ​​Monsters, and there was also a bit of fishy smell that was difficult to conceal.

Woo woo woo.

But when thousands of marchers and citizens of the capital began to gather early in the morning to welcome the king in the rain, they saw a brilliant beam of light suddenly rising into the sky above Ganquan Palace.

The gathering dark clouds suddenly stagnated.

Then a familiar voice was heard, although it was a bit careless, it fell into the ears of everyone in the capital:

"Decree: Clouds and rain retreat, today the weather is clear!"

With the new king's decree, even the weather within a radius of dozens of kilometers had to obey, and the stars and clouds kept rolling.

The first golden ray cast when the sun rose expanded in a circle with Ganquan Palace as the center, and instantly spread throughout the capital.

"Hiss——! Miracle!"

In the past, those orthodox [Lawyer] kings, even with the help of the iron law of the kingship, could not interfere with the power of the natural world, and could only use it to control people.

Legend has it that the previous [Storm Kings] of the Lancaster family had the ability to command storms and celestial phenomena, but the current citizens have never seen it.

Not to mention that Red Rose has had no [Storm Kings] of the fifth-level legendary realm for several consecutive generations of kings.

Even if a legend appears, the life essence of mortals cannot be compared with the [false gods] whose bodies are over 100 meters long.

To do the same thing, at least the [Storm Knights] must be summoned to work together. How could the new king be so relaxed?

"Compared to the three phantom suns when the York family started the rebellion, this is the real destiny."

"Yes, the power that is enough to make mortals despair is destiny itself."

All those in the royal capital who did not have the opportunity to witness the "God War" in the Strait of Dover with their own eyes finally experienced the power of the gods for the first time!

Immortal, unpredictable, legendary captain, son of the Bay People's prophecy, legendary Messiah

Faced with so many labels on Byron, even the saints of the church did not dare to say that they would personally suppress this great enemy, but were ready to send the Kalmar Union to rebel.

The citizens of the capital and the ruling class of the entire country naturally accepted the reality in a very short time: this new king will most likely be the king of their sons, grandsons, great-grandsons and future generations.

Today's coronation ceremony may be the last coronation of a king in the history of the entire Kingdom of Hastings.

"Sister, Miss, let's go."

In the palace that had been cleaned up long ago, Byron personally dressed up the two queens, who were covered in jewels, and put on shiny high heels, and took their hands out of the palace to bathe in the bright sunshine.

The family members in front of them were all ready to go.

Hathaway, Byron's mother, who had been sleeping for more than a decade and whose mental age was probably younger than Byron's, gave him a tender thumbs-up and silently praised him:

"Handsome!"

Today, Byron did not wear a cape, breeches, and a pair of white stockings like his ancestors did when they were crowned.

Instead, he wore a neat uniform of a naval marshal, shiny black military boots, a sword on his waist, and a golden ribbon that Hathaway had given him, which made him look particularly heroic.

In a brief interview with a reporter from the Kingston Daily, Byron said:

"Every monarchy is an inverted pyramid, and what is stuck in the ground is nothing but the spikes on the soldiers' helmets!

For the monarch, the most fundamental legitimacy of ruling the country is to provide protection and order for the country and the people, and to safeguard the overall interests of the country.

Therefore, a strong army is both a guarantee of the monarch's qualifications to rule the country and the right-hand man to implement the rule.

In theory, all kings in the world should first be the commander-in-chief of the country's armed forces, and then the monarch.

In other words, without the army and military uniforms, there would be no crown for us."

If the time is changed to modern society, no matter what the truth is, as long as it is said out loud, it is absolutely politically incorrect.

But in this turbulent era where weirdness and evil spirits are rampant and even basic life safety cannot be guaranteed, "there will be no regime without guns" is the greatest truth and can be unanimously supported by everyone.

With Byron as an example, the descendants of Lancaster, and even the monarchs of other countries, should gradually become popular to wear military uniforms instead of stockings.

The two extremely beautiful queens were wearing the same dress, each wearing a rose-like dress, revealing their radiant shoulders and delicate collarbones.

Catherine was wearing red, like a bright red rose, with her blonde hair tied up, and wearing the ruby ​​crown inherited from the Royal Family of Lancaster.

There is only one real coronation crown in Hattings [St. Edward's Crown], but the royal family has a long history, and many precious crowns have been made for kings and queens throughout the ages, and this is one of them.

Violet's dress is white, like a pure white rose, her silver hair is also tied up high, and she wears a matching sapphire crown.

Gold and red, silver and blue look particularly luxurious.

The three people joined hands to board a golden carriage that was 5.5 meters long, weighed over 3 tons, and required 6 horses to pull. They were surrounded by a hundred Royal Cavalry Guards, a hundred Wild Hunt knights, and other entourage. Driving out of Ganquan Palace where red roses are in full bloom.

Uncle, aunt, father, mother and other family members followed closely behind the golden carriage in other carriages.

Today, Byron's mistress is the absolute protagonist of the entire kingdom, and no one will take the lead.

The motorcade marched along the boulevard to the central square of the city, and then continued along Whitehall and House Street, receiving cheers and salutes from the residents of the Royal Capital along the way.

During this period, many people naturally saw the two beautiful women riding in a golden carriage with Byron, and couldn't help but talk about it:

"It stands to reason that a [king's title] can only have one queen in the iron law of royal power. What does this mean for the new king?

Why can't I figure out which of the two famous mythical creatures [Mithril Dragon] and [War Witch] is his chosen queen? "

An extraordinary person who knew the inside story said disapprovingly:

“There are many deviant kings in history, and there are countless kings who doted on their lovers more than their wives.

But the will of the king himself was of no use.

Because the [Silver Law] does not support the indiscriminate issuance of titles from the bottom authority and foundation. Unless divorced and remarried, a [King Title] can only have one [Queen]. This is an iron law that no one can ever violate.

My guess is that one of them is the queen and the other is the ‘royal lover’ with an official title. "

After the Renaissance, kings could openly have many mistresses, but there could only be one officially titled "royal lover."

They can freely enter and leave the palace, attend banquets, and enjoy treatment consistent with their status.

Many of the citizens who were watching felt that this was what happened.

The Wild Hunt and the Sea Hunter were combined into one, so it was impossible for his two fiancées to be combined into one and get the same title, right?

There are also many foreign envoys waiting to see Byron's show.

An overly powerful Kingdom of Hattings is not in their interests.

Only a Hattings that can block the colonists on the opposite side of the "Third Circulation Belt" and achieve a strategic balance and continuous bleeding is a good Hattings.

As we all know, [Mithril Dragon] Countess Catherine Greenville is the direct manager of a series of "Golden Bull Industries" such as the Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trading Company, the Pioneer Bank, and the Standard Whale Oil Company.

[War Witch] Violet is the princess of the bay people, the ruler of Anchor Bay, and the most important right-hand man in the navy under the pirate king.

This does not include the little-known online financial street, Rheinmetall, Kalmar Alliance throne claim rights, etc., and their influence is even greater.

They are like a pair of Byron's wings. No matter which one is lost, he may completely lose his ability to fly.

"Oh, if you are greedy, if you don't do it well, the end will be much worse than that of a man who has two different things to do.

Being hacked to death with a hatchet is the next best thing.

If it doesn't work well, not to mention restoring the glory of the North Sea Empire, Hattings may even end up becoming: "Roses, thistles and clovers may not necessarily unite the kingdom".

That would become an international joke. "

After the parade, the convoy arrived on time at 11 a.m. at Canterbury Cathedral and the Archbishop's Cathedral, located on the north bank of the River Tame.

All seven sacred instruments of royal power that connect the wishes of the people of the entire kingdom have been invited here.

These are the seven treasures that every king of Hadings needs for his coronation.

Including: "The core of the law [Magna Carta (original copy of the law)]; [The Orb of Royal Power] symbolizing the divine right of kings;

The cross scepter symbolizes power and justice, and the dove scepter symbolizes fairness and mercy. The two long scepters and the short one are collectively called the "Monarch Scepter";

The [Hattings Wedding Ring] symbolizes responsibility and vows; in addition, there is the [Sword of Dedication] that symbolizes the monarch’s dedication to governing the country; the [St. Edward’s Crown] cast from pure gold weighing 2.23 kilograms;

The [Coronation Throne] composed of the Stone of Destiny and St. Edward's Throne. "

Under the guidance of the palace etiquette officer, the coronation ceremony officially began.

The procedure with a long history is naturally extremely complicated, but Byron knew that his royal power did not come from this coronation ceremony, and he only needed to simply go through the process.

The first stage is: recognition.

Byron stood next to the centuries-old Coronation Throne, turned to face the four sides of the auditorium, and was declared the "unquestioned king", accepting the respect and worship of the congregation.

The second stage: taking the oath.

Putting his hand on the Gospel of Creation, he declared that he would uphold the law, the church, and his people in the future.

After taking the oath, Byron subconsciously glanced at Hal Black, the "former Remite" [banker] who came here as a representative of the business community. The latter shrank his neck for no apparent reason and showed a flattering smile.

Byron then regained his gaze and felt relieved:

"Except for me, there are no other privileged 'world nobles' here, and this book is not illegal. It is very good."

The third stage: anointing with holy oil.

The fourth stage: the awarding ceremony.

Byron was awarded a series of Seven Sacred Artifacts including the [King Orb] and the [Monarch Scepter].

In particular, the [Hattings Wedding Ring] was worn by Archbishop Teresa on the ring finger of her right hand, which represented the monarch's "marriage" with his country.

At this moment, Byron relied on the essence of a god and the [authority of Hades] to very clearly come into contact with a vast and thick pan-consciousness, and showed deep kindness towards him out of curiosity.

Theoretically, if the country of Hattings can really realize personification and self-ownership like the natural spirit Apu who occupies a place on the southern continent, then Byron will no longer have one king and two queens, but one king and three queens. back!

But when a picture subconsciously appeared in his mind:

"I have extensive experience in being crushed by a mithril dragon weighing hundreds of tons, and being crushed by a Leviathan whale weighing hundreds of tons.

But being suppressed by the three islands of Hetings, hiss——! "

Byron said that he really couldn't imagine that beautiful scene. Even the mythical form of "Ouroboros" would probably be crushed to pieces on the spot.

Then Archbishop Teresa brought the coronation crown [St. Edward's Crown] on a tray.

According to the normal procedure, she should be the one to put the crown on Byron's head on behalf of the church and the Creator.

It symbolizes that the gods and the church handed over the authority to rule the secular world to the king.

From the beginning of the Dark Millennium to the present, this tradition has never been broken.

But this time, Byron personally held the crown high above his head and put it on his head. He crowned himself, causing a commotion among the attendees.

But all the domestic thorns had been killed long ago, and no one in the congregation dared to raise any objection, no matter whether they were pious or not.

clang! clang! clang!

The bells of the cathedral rang for two minutes. Under the integration of the legal network, the bells and salutes also rang throughout the major cities in the Kingdom of Hattings.

A 62-gun salute was fired from Kingston Tower, and a 6-gun salute was fired at the guarding racecourse. All seven Channel Fleets of the Royal Navy also fired 21 live rounds.

The [Legendary Battleship Golden Deer] fired three rounds of artillery salvos under the control of the little ship girl.

Amidst the rumble of cannons, Byron sat on the historic [Coronation Throne].

The nobles and officials followed the ritual requirements and knelt down on one knee to swear allegiance to the new king.

The coronation ceremony of the new king is now completed.

In an instant, everyone could see seven beams of light shooting straight into the sky.

They weave a dense network of laws in the sky, and carry the full text of the laws of the Magna Carta and the emblem of the red roses radiating in all directions.

After Byron and his New King Group were cleaned up, power was finally re-centralized like never before since [Lost King] John.

The Torah network also shines brightly.

After the land aristocrats and church properties are cleared up, there should be another round of considerable growth.

Byron sat on the throne and looked at his two sisters. He was about to crown them and welded the wings to his back.

Suddenly, I found new writing appearing in the [Navigation Log]:

"Dear Mr. Captain, you brought order to the entire Kingdom of Hetings, returned to correct history, and created a new history. You reopened the Lancastrian dynasty and crowned it king.

But your achievements don't stop there.

You get the gift of history.

[Entry: Outlaw] and [Entry: I don’t eat beef] are merged into a new entry: [My rules are rules]! "

The "outlaw gangsters" targeted the iron laws of various royal powers in the civil legal system, allowing Byron to escape the sanction of the law to varying degrees.

"I don't eat beef" is aimed at the taboos of weird evil spirits, or the control and rule-based abilities of other extraordinary beings.

To a certain extent, breaking the rules set by oneself or others depends on one's extraordinary class, and can be weakened by one level at most.

While two abilities are retained, new abilities are also created.

“The purpose of the existence of law has never been for fairness and justice, but to maintain social relations and social order that are beneficial to the ruling class, and is an important tool for the ruling class to achieve its rule.

And now your power, army, land, and claims have allowed you to hold more than 50% of the country's shares. You are the ruling class with the biggest fist, and your will is the will of the entire class!

Therefore, after the entries are merged into [My rules are the rules], you can modify the iron law of royal power to a certain extent according to your own will without going through the Legislative Council, Parliament or any other group to make it in line with your own interests.

He even revised part of the [Silver Law] within his own jurisdiction. "

Seeing his new entry, Byron's heart suddenly moved and he immediately figured out its usage.

Looking up at the legal text of the Magna Carta floating above the cathedral:

“The king must consult the assembly of nobles and listen to the opinions of the people when imposing taxes;

No free man shall be arrested, imprisoned, confiscated of property, deprived of his public rights, banished, searched with harm, or arrested without being tried according to law by the nobles of the same level;

Knights and other landowners could not be forced to perform additional military service; a committee of 25 nobles was formed to oversee the execution of the Magna Carta."

The whole article talks about how to limit the royal power and ensure the private and property rights of other groups.

Even treason theoretically requires trial before conviction. Although the actual operation room is another matter, there is no doubt that every one of them is a shackle tied to the king.

No wonder it is ridiculed by other countries as the weakest "iron law" in the Old Continent.

If he were an ordinary person, he would of course hope to restrict the royal power as much as possible, but the person being restricted now is himself.

Even if he is successfully crowned and regains the royal power, the existence of the [Iron Law of Royal Power - Magna Carta] is destined to make him a limited king until he transitions to a "parliamentary monarchy" and a "constitutional monarchy" according to the flow of history.

Byron raised his eyebrows:

"Things are different now. No one can limit me, not even Magna Carta.

Having the right to claim and having only the right to claim are completely different concepts.

Although I have a strong claim, my throne does not come from recognition and charity from others.

But from my sword, musket, and fleet! From my Ladder of Glory and Bloodline Classics! From my Navy and Marines! "

At this time, being reminded by Byron's words, Catherine and Violet stood up at the same time and came to his side. Their auras bloomed and merged with him like a pair of wings.

Under the gaze of the audience, Byron smiled tenderly at the two queens, stood up, raised the scepter and the orb of royal power in his hand, and said loudly:

“You don’t have to be afraid of changes in the sky, you don’t have to follow the rules of your ancestors, and you don’t have to worry too much about the opinions of mortals.

Although the "Magna Carta" formulated by the ancestors and nobles is very good, I feel that it is time for some provisions and the spirit of the law to change. "

Even without prior consultation, most of the people who came here were unlikely to object to any of his opinions.

Under the leadership of members of the [Privy Council] and [Saab Council], everyone collectively bowed and obeyed orders.

Boom!

Using the three of them as anchors, the [Golden Law] broke through the sky.

“I declare with the authority of [King of the Wild Hunt]:

God has given kingship! I am the ruler of the sky and the defender of kingship. I will make my beloved the monarch and king of every place in the world! "

This oath symbolizes his divine power.

"The army is my scepter! I will give the nobles, clergy, and officials the power to govern cities, armies, wilderness, and seas!"

This symbolizes the power of managers.

"As the head of the gods, I will rule heaven, earth, and the earth. I have the power to communicate with, comfort the dead, and give them the next life!"

This symbolizes power over the land.

The core terms of the [Golden Law] have been slightly changed again, taking into account the national conditions of Hattings and the Holy Golden Empire.

God's will represents the legitimacy of royal power; military strength is the cornerstone of royal rule; the power of ancestors to rule over the dead is communicated to the people to tame them.

The unity of the three and their [Golden Triangle] together form the foundation of this law.

Moreover, every time Byron said a word, one of the three people would have a golden crown blooming on his head, shooting a beam of light straight into the sky.

[Iron Law of Royal Power·Magna Carta] was dyed gold bit by bit, and the underlying structure was re-completed.

Originally it only had the power to manage people, and it was a limited power that had been dismembered and weakened.

Now, just like the Holy Golden Empire, the royal power has been completely completed and can control heaven, earth, and people throughout the kingdom at the same time.

At this point, the Kingdom of Hattings has also become the connection point between the two legal networks of gold and silver and the two collective subconscious minds.

It is also the most stable link in the legal system of the Old World, apart from the silver legal core of St. Peter's Cathedral.

It is an unsinkable fortress in Byron's hands.

Except for Byron's direct descendants, none of the other members of the congregation had ever seen the [Golden Law], and for a moment they did not realize what a major and profound turning point had just occurred.

However, one can clearly see that above the heads of Catherine and Violet, in addition to the ordinary gemstone crowns, there is also a light crown representing the status of the country's "Queen".

The essence is exactly the same, there is no distinction between upper and lower, and it complements Byron's crown.

Set off by the light of the two crowns, the luxurious skirts of these two queens are the grandest red and white roses in the entire kingdom!

"This is... one king and two queens?!"

When foreign envoys realized this, they were in an uproar.

This is a far more shocking scene than Byron himself crowning himself.

This means that the iron law of the [Silver Law] has been broken!

However, when Oliver, the fourth-level paladin and night watchman [Holy Hammer] from the Protestant religion, and other Protestant clergy from other religious orders saw this scene, after the same brief shock, their faces instantly became solemn.

They even bowed slightly to Byron and the two queens in unison.

The [Silver Law] created by the Creator rules the entire Old Continent.

In the fifteen hundred years before this, there had never been any king, emperor, or even a pope comparable to a sixth-level demigod who could break through the slightest restriction of the [Silver Law].

In the unshakable inherent knowledge of the Protestant clergy, there is only one person who can break through the restrictions, and that is - the true master of the law!
