chapter Five

It's an ordinary morning.

Outside the window, the faint residual fog has thinned down, and the cold and moist air can be felt slowly passing by on the skin. A faint ray of sunshine passes through the morning fog and casts into the small garden. The flower buds curled up at night are quietly spreading their petals.

, the crystal dew gradually forming on the leaves of flowers and plants is reflecting the brilliance of this golden light... all of this is exactly the same as any other morning.

This is also a special morning.

As soon as the bell to prepare for the opening of the city rang, groups of Royal Guards soldiers wearing armor and shirts walked out from dozens of camps. In the sound of neat footsteps, their figures gradually filled the city.

Streets and alleys. As soon as the bells that echoed over the city ended, the gates of the Holy Capital were slowly opened. There were also troops gathered outside the city gates, with swords and guns standing everywhere, and uniforms in uniforms. There were a total of twenty square formations.

!

Through the cracks in the doors and windows, the residents of the Holy City are observing all this. Now the residents living in the city have the honor of participating in this special festival. Most of them stayed up all night and put on their clothes early.

Wearing festive attire, we are waiting for the curfew to be lifted.

In the palace, several civil servants stood nervously beside the timer, checking the official documents in their hands for the last time.

The magic energy poured into the timer flows slowly in the transparent ring pipe. The magic crystal at the bottom is affected by the energy and is constantly changing color. When all the magic crystals under the timer turn into pure sky blue

When the water leaked, an official who was watching the water leak said: "The time has come."

"It's time." Several officials looked at each other and nodded to indicate it was okay.

An older senior civil servant turned around, carefully glanced at the paper in his hand, and then loudly said to the officer on the side: "Order - start hoisting the flag!"

A dozen winged guards officers flew up along the dozen towers in the palace. When they reached the top, they waved the red flags on their hands - the huge flags tied to both sides of each tower were removed from the ropes and released.

Come down, "crash" unfolds.

On the left is the flag of the former royal family, the Xia Mai family, and on the right is the flag of the current royal family, the Keda family. The huge flag is fluttering in the morning wind, with wisps of sunlight hitting it, flashing out little golden lights.

The silent order has been issued, and all the high-rise buildings in the Holy Capital hung out these two flags almost at the same time. The flags spread out along the square, along the streets, and along the river, and the whole city became a sea of ​​flags!

They were fluttering majestically in the wind and in the rising sun. Countless soldiers who had fought bloody battles for these two flags were looking up. Although they were just staring silently, they remembered this scene with tears in their eyes.

Heart.

In this continent of Bis, how many people can personally participate in the construction of a dynasty and witness its success! Whether they are the descendants of high-ranking nobles, the sons of unknown common people, or even the aliens who are only worthy of being slaves in other countries, they

They are all fully qualified to be proud of themselves and this emerging empire!

A majestic drumbeat echoed over the city, and the curfew in the Holy Capital was lifted.

Impatient residents walked out of their homes and poured into the city center from various districts. After a while, the square in front of the palace was filled with people, and even the streets leading in and out were crowded with people. Under the command of municipal officials, the security team

All personnel were mobilized and it took a lot of effort to maintain order at the scene and ensure smooth access to the road.

The carriages of the guests attending the ceremony drove out from several post houses, merged into the traffic of nobles on the streets, and slowly drove towards the square in front of the palace, feeling the warm atmosphere of the entire Holy City along the way.

In a luxurious carriage with the logo of the Tansi Empire, Prince Carl Ulysses in a formal dress was sitting in the back row. In this festive atmosphere, his calm and thoughtful expression seemed a little too indifferent, and he looked towards the street.

There was even a hint of seriousness in the eyes of the people nearby.

The carriage passed a corner on the street and slowed down, and the prince's contemplation was interrupted by several overly affectionate shouts. He raised his head and saw Sevek Lando, the envoy of the Pota Empire, who was greeting him on his carriage.

He waved to himself. In normal times, with the prince's own temper, he would not pay attention to such a young boy, but now, after all, this young man is the envoy of the Pota Empire, and Prince Carl Ulysses has always maintained a moderate attitude.

Intimacy.

Out of courtesy, the prince nodded slightly.

Severk Lando laughed, opened the car door, jumped out, and walked directly to the prince's carriage. Just when the prince expected him to say something and leave, this not-so-pleasant young man actually

He reached out his hand and knocked gently on the car door.

"Are the younger generations learning from His Majesty Cohen Keda when they arrive in the Sibia Empire?" The prince gestured to his entourage to open the car door and said to Severik Lando who got in: "We are envoys of two empires, so often

The contact was not good."

"Ouch! Look at what you said, don't I understand His Majesty Cohen's temper? We can all be said to be the same type of person! He will never blame me. Besides, being able to ride in the same carriage with my former boss,

I'll have more to show off when I return home, right?" Severik Lando joked with a smile: "Your Excellency, are your legs okay?"

"It's not a big problem! You can handle ordinary situations." The prince moved his feet: "After all, he is old, and it will feel wrong if he moves."

"No, don't say that. If it weren't for your blow, His Majesty Cohen would have been in even more danger yesterday." Sevik Lando shook his hands in an exaggerated way: "By the way, His Majesty Cohen didn't say anything to you.

Any words of thanks?"

"I returned to the inn after receiving treatment and had no chance to see His Majesty Cohen." The prince shook his head and replied: "Although they are different empires, His Majesty Cohen is the king of the alliance. Under such circumstances, I have no reason not to

There is nothing worth bragging about as a reinforcement. For the same reason, His Majesty Cohen does not need to say anything to me."

"That's right! No one could have imagined that the Gallo Empire would do this. If what happened yesterday went to the bad side, we would all be in danger - do it!" Severik Lando became angrier and angrier as he spoke.

He slapped his hand on the armrest: "But Your Highness, how should we face this complicated situation now?"

The prince glanced at Severk Lando and asked, "Your Excellency represents an empire after all. Don't you still know how to deal with it?"

"To be honest, no one taught me what to do in this situation. All I learned was to eat, drink and have fun." Severik Lando simply acted rogue: "Your Highness, please stop torturing me.

Me! Give your subordinates a suggestion! Who can guarantee that His Majesty Cohen will not connect this matter with the Pota Empire? Especially those stupid nobles in our country are still entangled with the remaining rebels..."

"His Majesty Cohen naturally has his own thoughts on the current matter. He is an emperor who likes to make his own decisions. There is no need for us to take the lead and arrange everything for His Majesty Cohen." The prince sighed: "Let's take a look at His Majesty Cohen's tone.

Let’s go! Everything is based on the stability of the alliance.”

"In this way, the Gallo Empire got some blood this time, and they deserve it." Severk Lando nodded thoughtfully: "But having said that, being neighbors with the Sbia Empire is really a thing.

Hard work."

After listening to Severk Lando's words, the prince couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Are you working hard? I see you are working very hard!"

"His Royal Highness also knows that I am very playful. If it were not for my cousin who grew up together, I would never do this hard work." Sevik Lando smiled awkwardly:

"My idea is actually very simple. Since I am suffering, it is even more necessary for me to enjoy the suffering, right, Prince?"

"I also know a little bit about your country's affairs. With your help, His Highness, the Crown Prince, will be able to go smoothly." Severk Lando shouted that it was hard, and the prince could not blame him: "As for the remnants of the rebels,

It's better for you to find a solution as soon as possible. His Majesty Cohen can tolerate it for a while, but it is impossible for him to tolerate it forever."

"I know that it is precisely because of the difficulty of this matter that the prince recommended me to be the envoy to Sibia, hoping to use the good relationship between me and His Majesty Cohen to ease the conflict." Severik Lando snorted coldly: "As for

Those people, do they dare to come?"

This was regarded as the Bota Empire's own business. The prince smiled and said nothing.

We were almost reaching the square. On the street, several security guards in brand new black uniforms were directing the carriage to stop at the street. The coachman shouted and pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped beside the side.

"Excuse me." A guard officer riding a horse came to the carriage and gave a military salute: "Is His Royal Highness Prince Carl Ulysses of the Tansi Empire in the carriage?"

"It's me." The prince replied: "Major, what's wrong with you?"

"Your Majesty has received an order from the Internal Affairs Supervision." The guard officer replied sternly: "His Royal Highness was injured while trying to stop the assassin. It is inconvenient for him to walk. Please enter directly by carriage."

After saying this, the officer placed a small flag in front of the prince's carriage.

"Thank you." The prince nodded to the officer, and the carriage started moving again, passing the nobles and envoys on foot. Their surprised eyes were all gathered on the carriage.

In response to these complicated glances, the prince's expression was very calm, but his brows were slightly wrinkled.

Seeing the prince's expression, Severik Lando was a little confused: "Your Highness, it's great to be treated like this! Why are you still so serious?"

"If this order was issued by Cohen, I would be happy!" The prince replied calmly: "But I haven't met several internal affairs supervisors yet, and their courtesy to me seems to be a bit over the line..."

"how come?"

"Look around. Are there any other carriages driving besides ours? If you were an envoy from another country on foot, what would you think?"

"Me? Such courtesy, my general idea is that the Tansi Empire and the Sibia Empire wear the same pants..." Severik Lando replied, and suddenly shouted: "I am also on the carriage!"

"Yes, your Excellency is also on this carriage. Congratulations to your country, you have also put on a pair of trousers with Sibia." The prince smiled faintly: "These internal affairs supervisors! They seem to be quite powerful. In the future, you will also

You have to deal with them, so be careful! Don't be careless because you think the other person is a woman."

Sevek Lando still wanted to complain, but the carriage had already arrived at its destination. With the coachman's experienced shout, the carriage stopped steadily under the viewing platform. A mighty Guardsman stepped forward.

He opened the car door for them, and the two got out of the car. The civil servant in charge of the reception led them to the VIP seat.

"Forget it! It's not bad to sit in this VIP seat. When His Majesty Cohen comes out, you can see such a sincere me at the first sight." After looking at the environment around the viewing platform, Severik Lando

He seemed very satisfied with his treatment. He exhaled and gave himself a step down: "As for what other envoys think of me...I want to do big things! You can't please both sides."

The prince could only smile at his generosity, waved to the reception officials, and asked about the arrangements for the celebration.

"His Majesty the Emperor will be crowned in the main palace later, and only our officials will participate." The official explained: "After that, he will go out of the palace to participate in the military parade and celebration. Later, there will be a reception banquet for the Prime Minister, and in the evening there will be a palace dance."

"The arrangements are very tight!" Sevik Lando said: "I really want to witness His Majesty Cohen's crowning ceremony. He must be very energetic today. Speaking of which, the first time we met, I felt that I could become friends with His Majesty Cohen.

…”

"That is a special honor for the civil and military officials of the Sibia Empire." The prince glanced at the annoying guy next to him: "As for you, I now order you in the name of the retired commander-in-chief of the coalition forces to calm down."

"Yes, sir." Severk Lando nodded and replied, but his eyes wandering around showed that he did not listen to the prince's words at all.

Now the palace is also overcrowded.

Because there was an assassination incident against the emperor yesterday, the security today is very tight. The sentries wandering around the palace are all battle-hardened guards. Only guests who can participate in the crowning ceremony can participate in the crowning ceremony after a particularly strict inspection.

Enter the palace gate.

Thousands of Sibia's nobles, governors of various provinces, officers of various legions, internal affairs officials, and even alien leaders stood in separate areas in the square in front of the royal council building, waiting for the ceremony to begin. Cohen...

The emergence of Keda.

On the platform of the parliament building, Steve Lorenzo stood among a group of civil servants. He looked up at the rising sun and looked around uneasily... Cohen Keda should have come out. There are still a lot of things to do today! If you can do it

No, the emperor's enthronement ceremony will be a laughing stock!

In the harem, a secluded courtyard, in a dark main hall, Cohen Keda, who was complained by the dean of the college, was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed and dozing off. The hall door was closed tightly, and the surrounding windows were also closed, with only one

A magic lamp was emitting light alone. Compared with the darkness of the hall, the weak light seemed somewhat powerless.

Cohen's whole body was sunken into the outline of the chair, with his head slightly raised, and his fingers unconsciously rubbing back and forth on the armrests. Although he was in a dark room, his whole person was shining. In other words, Cohen occupied all the space.

Light. Anyone, from any angle, can clearly see that this serious face is composed of strong lines.

The emperor's robes were propped up on a rack and placed next to Cohen. The clothes the dragon clan elders had given him had been improved again and turned into a set of close-fitting shirts.

A slight noise could be heard faintly from outside the courtyard. Cohen's eyes trembled a few times and slowly opened.

Someone was knocking on the door, and the white figure hidden in the corner walked over and asked, then opened the door. The light from outside was projected on the smooth floor, forming a bright spot. Stepping on this sharp-edged strip of light, the four people

The well-dressed princesses walked in, and the gentle smiles on their faces seemed to be wrapped in the warm sunshine outside the door.

Felin walked to Cohen: "Husband, everyone is waiting for you."

"I know." Cohen nodded: "The time has not come yet."

"But it takes time to change clothes!" Kelly held up the hem of her skirt and walked quickly. She rarely wore a full dress like today. She felt a little less aggressive and a little more delicate: "Why?

Are you staying here? We have been looking for you for a long time!"

A smile appeared on Cohen's lips: "I'm learning to calm myself down. Don't you think I'm calm now?"

"Calm?" Dill exaggeratedly put the back of his hand on his forehead: "If you stay in such a dark place for a long time, my husband, I'm afraid you will become more withdrawn."

"You win." Cohen gave Dill a thumbs up: "My Dill is getting better and better now."

"I'm sorry!" Dill laughed: "How are you preparing your husband's speech?"

"When do I need a speech?" Cohen glanced at the unopened scroll on the desk: "Soldiers, officers, officials, nobles... They gathered around me not because of the speech, but because I am Cohen.

Keda.”

"Okay! Isn't it enough to know how great you are?" Kelly pulled Cohen up from the chair: "Change clothes."

Winslee had already taken the dress, and the four princesses took matters into their own hands, changing Cohen's clothes while talking about the itinerary. After preparing everything, the princesses accompanied Cohen to the palace.

When passing by her residence, she saw Princess Qinlun holding a garland in one hand and dragging a crow with the other hand, marching hard on the road leading to the door. Princess Qinlun was wearing a blue silk satin dress with a lavender ribbon.

Pulled on her waist, she wore the headdress given to her by a crow in her hair, with a very serious expression on her face.

After a night's rest, Crow's complexion had improved a lot. He had already changed his clothes and was being dragged away by the little overlord with a heavy expression.

Judging from the annoyed look on his face as he walked with his head down, he seemed to be regretting not finding a cloth to cover his face.

"What?" Cohen took a few steps closer to them: "Baby Qinlun is going to take Brother Crow out for a walk?"

"Ah!" Xiao Qinlun waved the garland, immediately jumped into Cohen's arms, kissed Cohen on the cheek, and put the garland on Cohen's head.

"It's a very beautiful garland! Qin Lun must have been working on it for a long time, right?" Feilin carefully knelt down, took Qin Lun's hand and said, "But today, brother Cohen has to wear something else! You can't wear a garland.

Woolen cloth!"

"Although she can't speak yet, she seems to know that today is very important to you." Crow, who lowered his head, raised his head to look at Cohen, and resumed his indifferent tone: "She spent a lot of time making this up."

Cohen screamed in his heart, Crow's impression of Feilin must be extremely bad.

"It doesn't matter! Just wear that kind of metal thing, how can it be comfortable to wear this wreath?" Cohen took a flower from the wreath and inserted it on his left chest: "When you can't wear a wreath, use this flower.

How about flowers instead?”

Qin Lun nodded in understanding.

"I'm glad to see you here." Cohen stood up and looked at Crow: "Do you want to come with me?"

Crow shook his head: "I'm not used to standing in conspicuous places, I can just watch from a distance."

"I know you're not used to it, and you don't like to be seen." Cohen smiled bitterly and turned to the guard: "Go get my spare armor."

The room was close at hand, and the armor was quickly fetched.

"This is my only white armor. It can be adjusted to fit your body shape. I haven't used it yet, so I give it to you now." Cohen stroked the delicate armor plates on the armor and said softly to the crow: "I

I think you have been thinking about it all night. If you are determined to leave, I can't stop you. Please put on this armor! On the land of Sibia, the owner of this armor can walk unimpeded. Or stand on my side.

I respect your choice whether you stay with me or leave the palace."

Crow silently took the armor, his eyes wandering: "Why are you willing to let me go?"

"I have said many times that I hope you stay." Cohen said calmly and solemnly: "If I still can't keep you, it means that I still have many shortcomings and am not qualified to keep you. It also means that there are many people out there.

Things that attract you... As your friend, I hope you have a good time and can live freely, that's all."

Showing a smile, Cohen turned around calmly and strode towards the main palace. (To be continued)
