Lin En could see her guilt and uneasiness after facing so many lives disappearing overnight.
He held her hand tightly with his backhand and advised gently but firmly: "Elizabeth, necessary sacrifices will bring long-term peace!"
After that, there was no more fighting.
The Bavarian Allied Forces fought their way to Vienna without encountering any resistance and accepted Austria's surrender.
At the same time, the city of Rome sent an envoy to officially confirm that Elizabeth would become the Holy Roman Emperor. The Pope was ready to crown her!
According to tradition, the emperor who receives the papal canonization in Rome is the most orthodox. But not all emperors will go. This involves some disputes between royal power and divine power.
But Elizabeth agreed.
The Bavarian Allied Forces turned and headed towards Rome.
At the same time, the archdukes and kings from various countries who supported her also rushed to Rome. Being able to witness the succession of Archduke Elizabeth as Holy Roman Emperor was both capital and an incomparable honor for them.
A few months later, when the coalition troops arrived at the gates of Rome, the Pope had already gone out of the city to greet them.
According to tradition, at this time the emperor had to dismount from his horse, salute, and lead the pope's horse. After arriving at the coronation venue, he had to kneel at the feet of the pope and accept his coronation.
Elizabeth looked at the Pope in front of her. The faith she had firmly believed in since childhood still made her feel panicked, and she subconsciously wanted to bow her head.
Lin En next to him suddenly coughed slightly and glanced at the Pope and others with cold eyes.
Elizabeth pursed her lips tightly and straightened her waist in an instant, silently reciting Lin's previous instructions in her heart.
"Don't bow your head! Don't dismount! Don't bow your head! Don't dismount!"
But when Lin En glanced over, the pope riding on the horse trembled in his heart. In just a moment, the whole world collapsed in front of his eyes, leaving only a pair of golden eyes, as if projected from a distant and unpredictable plane.
!
His mind was frozen...
Linn rode straight past with no expression on his face, Elizabeth hurriedly followed, and a large number of troops behind him walked into the city of Rome with high spirits.
When the Pope came to his senses, he could only follow behind in fear. The rumors he had heard were flooding in his mind, "Lord! He is right next to Elizabeth!"
In the Square of St. Peter's Basilica, the choir sang hymns and Elizabeth swore to defend the honor of the church.
At this time, according to tradition, Elizabeth should kneel down and kiss the Pope's feet.
But how could Linn let this happen? These different rituals are just a manifestation of the power struggle between the church and the royal family, and are not worth mentioning in his eyes.
He took Elizabeth into the church first, and everyone followed.
It was also the first time for Elizabeth to enter this church. The decoration inside was so gorgeous that it was even frightening.
The interior of the entire hall is in the shape of a cross. At the intersection of the cross is the center of the church. On the ground at the center is the pope's altar. Above the altar is a magnificent canopy. Above the canopy is the large Gothic arched dome in the center of the church.
120 meters above the ground, the surroundings of the dome and the top of the entire hall are covered with beautiful patterns and reliefs.
Looking up from the ground, the rose window creates a strong contrast between darkness and light. It makes the dome look like a door to heaven.
Elizabeth quickly lowered her head and took two deep breaths. Linn next to her shook her hand, which slowly calmed down her pounding heart.
The pope next to him turned a blind eye to this, and climbed onto the altar with strength and calmness, started mass, and recited the Lord's Prayer.
An archbishop anoints Elizabeth's shoulders with holy oil.
Another bishop gave Elizabeth a ring.
There are also two saints holding the emperor's golden ball and scepter.
After the pope said the prayer, he picked up the crown.
Elizabeth has lowered her head, and the Pope also sighed in his heart. Next, as long as the crown is placed on Elizabeth's head, this disturbing canonization ceremony will be completed.
At this moment, the sacred and majestic singing suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. This sacred sound that was by no means ordinary, instantly calmed all the distracting thoughts in people's hearts.
A beam of golden holy light shines into the hall from the dome, and the solemn and dark church instantly becomes brilliant and holy, like the presence of God!
No!
Not the same!
Under the horrified gaze of the people, in the golden light, a woman wearing white wings slowly descended!
Long golden hair, slim silver armor, a long sword surrounded by flames and a holy and beautiful face.
…
"God, angel!
!”
"A true angel!"
"The Lord has come!"
All the church officials, including the Pope, and the kings and nobles of several European countries all knelt down in fear!
"Bang"! The angel's wings spread out and retracted! Dots of golden light suddenly flew away and fell on everyone in the church.
The fatigue caused by the long ceremony disappeared instantly, and both the mind and body felt like they were reborn!
No one had the slightest doubt, they knelt down devoutly,
Outside the church, golden light spread out. The soldiers who were excitedly watching the church and the people of Rome also felt the "miracle"!
They knelt down towards St. Peter's Basilica filled with holy light.
The angel slowly landed on the ground and took the crown from the trembling Pope's hands. Then he turned around and knelt down at Linn's feet devoutly just like a mortal knelt down in front of her!
The Pope, who was kneeling on the ground, had dull eyes and murmured: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of all, your glory fills heaven and earth. The sound of cheers resounds through the sky. You come in the name of the Lord, you deserve it."
Praise and cheers resounded throughout the sky."
Linn took the crown and put it on the head of Elizabeth, who looked confused.
Then, he put the emperor's golden beads and scepter into her left and right hands respectively.
The Pope on the ground suddenly found the strength to stand up from nowhere!
He hurriedly took a few steps, his face turned red as blood, and he suddenly knelt down in front of Lin En.
“Our heavenly Father, may your name be glorified, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Please give us our daily bread today, and please forgive our sins, as
We forgive others as well. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”
"All nations in the world, universal authority, and all glory belong to you forever!"
"Amon!"
Done!
…
"Angel" has disappeared for a long time.
People in St. Peter's Basilica still knelt on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time!
The believers in the church burst into tears, and everyone prayed like a saint.
For more than a thousand years, even the most devout people in the church have not had the opportunity to see real angels. Who would have thought that angels actually exist and appear in front of everyone!
If angels really exist, then where is the Lord...
It’s simply unimaginable! This is a miracle that can change everything! This is a glory that is enough for each of their names to be remembered by future generations!
From today on, their faith will be extremely firm and rock-solid!
