Chapter 519: Ceremony
Perhaps it was because she was used to Su Han’s touch, or perhaps it was because she was attracted by his words just now, Artoria did not mind him touching her silly hair. Instead, she asked about Su Han.
“Are you going to leave later?”
“Yes, I came here to look for the rune. Now that I’ve found them, I originally planned to leave before I made the preparations, but in order for you to stabilize the starfield in the future, I’d better wait for a few more days.”
Su Han did not hide anything and directly voiced out his inner thoughts.
“Is it for the remaining runes?”
Artoria was very smart and quickly knew the reason for his departure.
“Yes, Frost Sorrow has already broken one-fifth of the seal. We still need four more runes.”
“Moreover, there’s a force that’s competing with me in intelligence and courage. It’s very interesting!”
Thinking of the force that the black-robed man belonged to, Su Han could not help but feel that it was very interesting.
“Oh, right, that black-robed man’s force is called the Zhongfu Palace. This force…”
Upon hearing Su Han mention this, Artoria also recalled the previous conversation and hurriedly said this information.
“I suspect that this force has already gone through a metamorphosis.”
In the end, she also said her own judgment.
The information that Artoria said was roughly the same as the information that Su Han had learned from his memories.
Just as she had guessed, the Zhongfu Palace had long become a private power of some people.
They spent all day thinking about how to use runes to unseal the Frost Sorrow and then rule the entire universe.
However, they were not too sure about the whereabouts of the runes, so they could only search all over the universe.
This time, it was a coincidence that a black-robed man wanted to join in the fun and watch the ceremony, so he discovered the abnormal situation of Artoria.
“I didn’t expect there to be such a huge organization in the world.”
The Deadwood G.o.dly Monarch sighed.
“Master, the implications of your sword are a little big.”
The Green Leaf G.o.dly Monarch was a little worried.
“It’s fine. I’ll kill as many people who come, and I still have Frost Sorrow,” Su Han said confidently.
Seeing how confident Su Han was, the Deadwood G.o.dly Monarch and the Green Leaf G.o.dly Monarch relaxed a little.
As for Artoria, she was even more certain of her previous thought.
…
In the next three days, Artoria’s actions were very fast, fully displaying her decisiveness as a king.
First, she directly swept up the traitors in the entire palace, ensuring that the remaining people were at her center.
Then, she brought her distant nephew from other cities, and called the Deadwood and Green Leaf G.o.dly Monarchs over.
Looking at them being so mysterious, Su Han did not know what they were discussing. He only knew that they had a mysterious smile on their faces when they came out.
After that, she changed the process of the ceremony. After all, so many things had happened, so they definitely could not be done according to the original formation.
As for those Knights, she had selected a new batch in the Knight Reserve Army.
This Reserve Army was the Knight Reserve Army of the British Starfield. Many Knights from before had walked out from this place.
It was established by Artoria a long time ago.
Firstly, it was to allow Knights to have a complete promotion process.
Secondly, it was to leave a spark for Knights. When such Knights were wiped out, it could be quickly replenished. It would not cause problems in the operation of the British Starfield.
It was worth mentioning that during these three days, Guinevere woke up. But just as Su Han had said, she did not remember anything.
After seeing her like this, Artoria personally sent her to her parents’ home and told her parents everything.
After hearing that the king was a girl and what happened in the palace some time ago, Guinevere’s parents were dumbfounded.
Under Artoria’s sincere explanation, her parents gradually understood her and promised to take good care of Guinevere.
After communicating with her parents, Artoria heaved a sigh of relief.
Before she left, she took one last look at Guinevere, gave her a hug, and left decisively.
Guinevere still stood there in a daze, looking at Artoria’s figure.
When her parents came over, they saw that Guinevere’s eyes were filled with tears and immediately panicked.
“Guinevere, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”
“I’m so sad. Who is that person? I feel like I know her.”
Guinevere’s parents looked at each other and her father slowly said, “She’s the person you love.”
“Is that so? I understand now!”
Guinevere deeply remembered that person’s figure in her heart.
Three days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
The Knights’ Round Table Hall in the palace had been repaired.
The ceremony had officially begun.
On this day, the entire Central City was very lively. Except for the important posts, everyone had a holiday.
All of them were celebrating the starfield’s ceremony.
Gift sellers, firecrackers, and candy sellers were everywhere. The entire Central City was filled with a jubilant atmosphere.
The Triumphant Square was even more important.
Because today’s ceremony would be held here.
However, the guards had already arranged everything here. The entire square was covered with fresh flowers, and the important spots were covered with important decorations.
Outside the guard’s cordon line, there were already people from all over the place. Some of them had come a month in advance for this moment.
Soon, it was nine o’clock.
It was time for the ceremony to begin.
First, there were nine cannons firing in the air, which meant that today’s ceremony was the beginning.
Then, King Arthur came on stage to give a speech, followed by her and the Queen’s wedding.
This was originally a normal procedure.
But now, it was obviously different.
After the cannon salute, under the gaze of everyone, Artoria held the Sword of Victory and strode to the highest podium in the square.
The moment she stepped onto the platform, the entire square was immediately filled with a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
“King!”
“King!”
“King!”
The cheers were mixed with the people’s love for the king.
The voices did not stop for a long time.
Suddenly, Artoria waved her hand, and the entire square instantly fell silent.
This showed how high Artoria’s prestige was in the hearts of the people.
Seeing that the square had quieted down, Artoria nodded her head in satisfaction.
The Triumphant Square was very large, so there were hundreds of thousands of people who came here today.
Artoria slowly looked around, looking at her people.
The people who were caught in Artoria’s gaze unconsciously straightened their chests, hoping that their King could see the best of them.
The same place, different people.
Artoria went back to 30,000 years ago.
At that time, when she had just taken the throne, she had held an oath ceremony here.
She encouraged the people to have the courage to fight against the Saxons.
In the blink of an eye, 30,000 years had pa.s.sed.
She was standing here again.
But the environment was different from 30,000 years ago.
Her mood was different, too.
