A Smooth Coronation
With the traitor within the Royal Guard corps purged, the biggest threat to the Royal Capital has been eliminated, and the Coronation Ceremony can proceed smoothly.
Duke Barick extended an invitation to all the nobles in the country, regardless of rank, to come to the Royal Capital to attend the ceremony.
This move can be seen as Duke Barick temporarily setting aside his conflict with the Noble Faction and intending to ease tensions between the two sides.
The Noble Faction did not continue to confront the new king on this matter. Judging from this approach, everyone understood that there would be no conflict between the Royalist Faction and the Noble Faction in the short term. At least until the new king brought order to the country, the struggle between the two sides should ease for a while.
Therefore, the Noble Faction were willing to give the new king face, and under the call of the leading nobles, the kingdom's nobles basically responded to the king's call and prepared to participate in this grand ceremony.
Apart from those nobles who lived in remote areas or held important positions and could not leave, the rest of the nobles generally arrived in person. Even those who could not come would send important members of their families to attend the ceremony.
On the day of the Coronation Ceremony, the entire Golden Tree City was bustling with activity. The whole city was decorated in a brand new way, and colorful ribbons were hung on the Golden Court Tree all over the streets. It is said that these decorations alone cost tens of thousands of gold.
All the participating units were impeccably clean, and even the horses' coats were neatly brushed.
All the troops involved in the protection of the Royal Capital, as well as the troops participating in the parade, changed into Bright Gold armor that had been prepared in advance, making everything look golden.
Even ordinary Royal Capital wore their own Bright Gold jewelry, adding a touch of solemnity to this grand ceremony.
Surrounded by the crowd, Duke Barick rode his horse along the main road of Royal Capital towards the main hall of the Royal Palace. Behind him was the parade of soldiers he had chosen to participate in this Coronation Ceremony, including Cavalry contingent composed of the sons of the Vela Nobles.
The sight of these young men, all clad in Bright Gold, immediately drew attention. Coupled with their inherent aristocratic bearing, their overall appearance far surpassed that of the other military parades, adding to the public's growing caution towards the new king.
The powerful nobles of the Noble Faction took this matter very seriously. In their view, the Vela Nobles were traitors among the nobility, being far too obsequious to the kingdom and the king.
However, the new king's high regard for this Noble Cavalry prompted these great nobles to reflect on their actions.
Although they are not quite sure what the new king wants to do next, judging from the current situation, the king should be very satisfied with this team.
As the parade troops marched forward in perfect unison, their solemn and dignified bearing drew cheers from the audience, with the vast majority offering their blessings to the new king.
Most people are hoping that the new king can lead the kingdom to continue to grow stronger. After all, even the most ordinary citizens will proudly stand tall when they talk about the strongest country on the continent.
In this joyful atmosphere, the ceremony proceeded very smoothly, reaching its climax when the Duke Barick received the crown from the Prime Minister and placed it on his head.
Even the most disgruntled nobles had no choice but to offer enthusiastic applause at this moment, and cheers and applause resounded throughout the entire Royal Capital.
Meanwhile, the cannons that Victor had prepared for the kingdom began to fire, signifying that the kingdom had finally welcomed its new master.
