As delegations from various ethnic groups arrived one after another, the long-prepared day for the new king's coronation finally came.
During the celebration, Silvermoon City was decorated even more beautifully, and the representatives of all races who came to watch the ceremony truly experienced the wealth and strong national power of Quel'Thalas.
As soon as the genius dawned, the square in front of the Sun Chaser's Royal Court was filled with tourists of all races who came from all over the world to visit.
The royal family's law breakers set up a cordon at the scene to maintain order and isolate the crowded crowd. Only permitted representatives of various ethnic groups could get seats on the red carpet in the square.
The order of these seats is also very particular, and they are arranged according to their close relationship with Quel'Thalas.
Shal'dorei and Faldorei are both non-state independent political systems, which are far inferior to other powerful countries.
However, due to the deep binding of Quel'Thalas, Elisande, who represents Suramar, and Justina, who represents Faldorei, are seated very far forward.
Behind these two tribes are the tauren, draenei and Kul Tiras who are allied with Quel'Thalas.
The chairs under Cairn Bloodhoof and Ulan Gaoling's buttocks were significantly larger than those of other races. At this time, the two of them were smiling and chatting in a low voice. Velen was also sitting next to them with a smile on his face.
Chat with Dai Lin next to you.
Then there are the countries and races that have maintained a certain cooperative relationship with Quel'Thalas, such as Stromgard, Gilneas, Khaz Modan, Gnomeregan, and the Wildhammer dwarves.
Although Quel'Thalas and Dalaran have secretly reached a reconciliation, after all, Kael'thas' ascension to the throne has not yet been officially announced.
Dalaran and Lordaeron were placed far away, and Antonidas, who was confident, maintained his demeanor as calm as a rock.
On the side of Lordaeron, Archbishop Alonsos Faol was no longer moved by foreign objects. Anyway, he was just replacing Terenas as a companion. The real representative was Prince Arthas, who looked a little gloomy at the moment.
Although the young Arthas looked obviously unhappy, he was too mature to do so and did not get angry on the spot. Terenas must have mentioned it to him before and knew that he might receive a cold shoulder during this visit.
The prominent nobles and officials of Quel'Thalas have all received invitations to the coronation ceremony.
Including Saryan, all high-level officials from the participating countries were seated on the left side of the square according to their titles and official positions, while representatives from various countries were placed on the right side.
Duke Bozinan, the title of earl is already high among the nobles of Quel'Thalas.
But if you include the founding nobles who rested on their merits and enjoyed themselves, the earl was only the third level in the literal sense.
Although there were not many nobles sitting in front of Sarlayan, there were still more than twenty people, including 4 dukes, 8 marquises, and 12 counts.
There is no doubt that the four dukes are the four nobles of Quel'Thalas.
After a round of internal purges after the defense of Quel'Thalas, they are the only ones who can still retain the title of hereditary duke.
The other marquess and earls were also granted titles by Dath'Rema during the founding of the country. These noble families have declined to varying degrees, and most of them are resting on their laurels.
Even so, these people still live a very extravagant life, occupying a large amount of national resources with almost no output, and are truly national worms.
Except for the contemporary heads of the four noble families who nodded politely to Sarlayan, the other marquis and earls completely regarded him as a transparent person, as if they would be tainted by just looking at him.
Different road non-phase plan.
Sharlayan is not interested in arguing with a group of dead bones in the graves. As long as Kael'thas officially takes over, these worms will not have much time to enjoy themselves.
Starting from Sharlayan and below, the distinguished nobles who rose up during the Troll War had a relatively friendly attitude towards him. At best, they were neither salty nor indifferent, and at worst, they would nod and say hello.
According to reliable information, nobles who stood firm on the side of the royal family and suppressed the rebellion during the Battle of Quel'Thalas will be promoted to one-level titles after the new king ascends the throne.
Among them are Lord Deep Shadow (Villes) and Baron Sangunar, whom Sarlayan is most familiar with.
Valeera, Stellagosa, Jaina and others are not qualified to enter the main venue, and are currently crowded among the crowd on the periphery under the protection of Julian.
Alyssa was pregnant and it was inconvenient to attend such a crowded gathering, so Inas simply stayed in Shenying Mansion to take care of her. The two of them could stand on the top floor garden of the mansion and overlook the venue from a distance.
Guarded by two rows of brightly armored spellbreakers, Sun King Anasteria and Prince Kael'thas strolled out of the royal court hand in hand.
All representatives present consciously stood up, bowed and applauded.
The people watching outside also became restless, and some tourists from abroad even whistled frivolously, which aroused the dissatisfaction of some high elves.
Julian noticed the rejection of foreigners by the high elves around him, and sighed secretly.
'There is still a long way to go. I don't know if the new king who advocates the opening of Quel'Thalas can withstand the combined pressure of the old nobles and the people.'
There was a sentence in the barrage that Sarlayan didn't agree with, but he had to admit that it did make sense.
The common people at the lower levels are ignorant. They have limited access to information, and they can easily be influenced by certain groups that control public opinion.
Kael'thas' reform will inevitably touch the cake of some people, and these people happen to be authoritative people who have a lot of resources in Quel'Thalas. The public opinion war is also an issue that requires his focus.
Quel'Thalas is not a republic and is not responsible for the votes of the people.
But as long as you are a normal person, you don’t want to be scolded all day long, and you still need to worry about issues of public opinion.
When it comes to rhythm, all the keyboard warriors from the different world are good at it.
Sarlayan volunteered to take over the task of public opinion war. He believed that the rhythmic barrage could teach those struggling moths a final lesson.
The real master arrived at the scene, and the mages of the Royal Arcane Society who were guarding nearby took action to cut off the chaotic cheers from the people in the outer circle.
However, the sound in the venue can still spread normally, and the volume has been increased to a certain extent.
The inheritance of the throne is the top priority of the country, and Kael'thas and Anasteria have been preparing for this for a long time.
Those ancient and complicated etiquette made Sarlayan feel sleepy, but in this position, he couldn't act too lazy.
Sitting upright and looking directly at the ceremony site with a solemn expression, he seemed to have great respect for this ancient ritual passed down to the throne.
But in fact, most of Sarlayan's consciousness is chatting with the barrage, and from time to time he will chat with Valeera and Stellagosa through the soul link, just to pass the time.
When the sun was at its zenith, the long and smelly ceremony finally came to an end.
With a look of exhaustion on her face, Anasteria stepped onto the high platform that had been prepared, and stretched out her hand to signal Kael'thas to follow.
Sarlayan, who was in the venue, could not hear the noise from the outside world, but through the feedback from Valeela and Stellagosa from outside the venue, the people who came to watch the ceremony were completely excited.
The last step is actually very simple. Sarlayan thinks that the previous series of performances are unnecessary.
Kael'thas, who was sweating on his forehead after some exercise, bent one knee and half-knelt in front of Anasteria.
The old king took off the golden crown from his head and looked at the golden crown he had worn for more than 3,000 years with emotion.
"Kael'thas Sunstrider, I, Anastria Sunstrider, the fourth Sun King, in the name of Sunstrider, hereby officially pass on the throne of Quel'Thalas to you."
"From now on, it will be you who will continue to lead our people forward."
Anastria solemnly put the crown on Kael'thas' head. The long golden hair matched the shining golden crown very well. Anastria seemed to see in his son the man who took over the throne.
That scene.
Finally officially relieved of the heavy burden, Anasteria's expression was very complicated.
Relieved, but also a little disappointed.
Taking over the Flame Strike, the symbol of royal power that the Sunstrider royal family has inherited for many years from his father, Kael'thas stood up in high spirits, and with the encouragement of Anastria's smile, he stood alone on the high platform, overlooking the crowded square in front of the square.
Lively scene.
"Suck~"
Taking a deep breath, Kael'thas suppressed his excitement and raised the Flame Strike that had been ignited by the flames above his head.
"As the fifth Sun King of Quel'Thalas, Kael'thas Sunstrider hereby solemnly swears that he will never let down the expectations of the people!"
