Rise of the Empire Total War

On May 20, 1126 in the continental calendar, Winster Kingdom, Nord City.

Richard, who has been groomed for a while, can be said to be radiant. He is wearing a yellow bottom robe made of fine silk, and there are several layers of clothes inlaid with shining gems and stitched with gold thread. Gloves of jewelry, every move can blind others' eyes. The outer surface of his boots was painted with a layer of gold, with beautiful patterns on them. The linen trousers on his legs were red, and the calf thongs were of the same colour, and the fringe was stretched over the linen dress, as well as the criss-cross leg laces.

He still wears the crown that belongs to King Winster on his head. Although this crown is expensive and heavy, it is slightly inferior to the new crown that will be replaced later.

Stephanie and the two princes and princesses also put on costumes, and their family, under the escort of the Praetorian Guard brigade in bearskin hats, set off from Ippolito Palace to the Nord Cathedral not far from the palace. In order to ensure a smooth coronation ceremony, Richard deployed heavy troops around the Nord Cathedral, under strict scrutiny. In addition to soldiers in military uniforms on guard, there were also many spies and assassins in civilian clothes mingling in the crowd, keeping an eye on the crowd changes.

Richard was not afraid of being assassinated, he was afraid that the assassin would attack his wife and children frantically, that's why he was so strict.

Squeak——

Pushed by the imperial guards, the heavy palace gate opened slowly, making harsh creaking noises, and the turbulent crowd outside was also exposed to Richard's sight. After hearing that Richard was about to be crowned emperor, the people of Nord City Residents flocked to the Palace of Hippolito and the Nord Cathedral to witness the progress of their king. Richard learned the thoughts of the people from the spy network, so he did not order to clear the field, but ordered soldiers to surround the city with a human wall to ensure that no one could pass through the human wall and rush to his side.

"Richard! Richard! Richard!"

After Richard appeared, the scene was quiet for a few seconds, followed by deafening cheers, and the crowd shouted Richard's name loudly, expressing their respect and love for this great king.

People's hearts are like this. Richard secretly sighed in his heart. He took Stephanie's hand, nodded to the crowd, and then, under the guard of soldiers, walked through the passage separated by the human wall and walked towards the cathedral. There was also a sea of ​​people outside the Nord Cathedral. The onlookers rubbed shoulders, wanting to see the dignity of the royal family. When they saw Richard and his party, they cheered like the crowd outside the palace and watched Richard off. De stepped on the fine velvet red carpet and walked into the cathedral step by step. After they entered the cathedral, the door was closed, blocking the eyes of the outside world.

The cathedral was full of nobles from the kingdom and envoys from the member states of the alliance. The former watched Richard enter with eager eyes, wondering if his title would be improved after he was crowned emperor; Looking at the radiant Richard family with complicated eyes,

The Kingdom of Winster was already extremely expansive, and now it has crowned itself as the emperor, and it is very likely that it will go to war with the old overlord in the north, the Holy Kuyawi Empire.

The peninsula is really war-prone. They sighed in their hearts. It seems that since Richard took over the Kingdom of Winster and led the expansion of the kingdom, the peace time on the peninsula has decreased sharply. War broke out almost every year, even during the four years when the Kingdom of Winster was recuperating. Over time, other countries on the peninsula did not end the war.

Now Richard has come up with a Vardasia alliance, which prohibits countries from going to war on their own, hoping that this will end the hundreds of years of war on the peninsula and return peace to the people.

...

Looking seriously at King Winster below, although this is not the first time Peter has crowned others, it is the first time he has crowned an empire-level lord. He watched Richard walk in front of him step by step, with one knee Kneeling down, took a deep breath, and said:

"In the name of God the Father, and by the will of the people, crown Richard Stuart as Holy Roman Emperor, Augustus, Sovereign of Germany and Vadacia, may God grant him wisdom, may God have Bless him!"

Then, several priests carried two palaces of different sizes together and walked to Peter. He glanced at the largest palace on the tray, swallowed, and continued: "In the name of the Lord God , crown the imperial crown on my lord, brave Winster people, serve your lord! May you defend the glory of my lord with your sword!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to get the crown, but Richard was one step ahead of him, took off the Winster crown on his head, put it gently on the tray, and then, under Peter's astonished gaze, put it on the crown. The imperial crown was raised and placed on his head.

It was a very luxurious and beautiful crown, surrounded by 8 gold plates, with an iron ring inside for reinforcement, and the top of the crown was a front-to-back arch with a gold cross and jewels. In total, about 144 jewels of various kinds, including sapphires, emeralds and amethysts, are inlaid in the crown, as well as pendant tassels.

Then, Richard took another small crown placed on a red cloth plate and put it on Stephanie's head. This belonged to the queen, and it also represented Richard's recognition of her queen status.

After putting on the crown, Richard glanced lightly at the priest holding the holy staff in his hand. The latter shook his body and quickly handed over the holy staff made of pure gold with a double-headed eagle on top. Richard He stretched out his hand to take it, feeling the heaviness of his hand, then lifted it high and displayed it in front of everyone. Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by him and the holy staff, and no one paid attention to his own act of putting on the crown.

Seeing this, Cardinal Peter quickly put away the astonishment just now. Although Richard did not discuss with him in advance, but he was born in the system and he would not have any negative emotions towards Richard. He paused and said loudly:

"Everyone here please stand up and pray silently with me:

Our Father in heaven, Almighty God, help our King Stuart, give him heavenly wisdom, give him dominion over the kingdom, and may you mourn him and his land, Give us peace, give us happiness, all praises to the Father in heaven.

Amen. "

Everyone stood up together and repeated Peter's words in their hearts. At the same time, another priest took a step forward and handed the King Power Orb to Richard. The scepter of authority and the orb of regal power are held above the head, accepting the allegiance of the nobles.

"I, Chief Minister of the Emperor, Charles, Duke of Sauron, swear that your friend will be my friend, and your enemy will be my enemy. I will treat each other with all sincerity, my king!"

"I, Tooragris, Duke of Delge, swear..."

"I, Richard, Duke of Opponia, swear..."
