Chapter 694: 692 Coronation_1
Judy rode her white horse to the peak of the Holy Mountain.
Colin stepped forward, reaching out to support Judy as she dismounted.
It was only when Colin took her hand that he realized the palm of the young girl was dripping with sweat.
“Scared?” Colin whispered into Judy’s ear.
Judy shook her head, her eyes regaining their determination.
“That’s more like it.” Colin smiled kindly, patting Judy’s little hand, “Don’t forget what I’ve told you. They are not the representatives of the Supreme Lord, but merely a group of small-time thieves stealing the glory of the Supreme Lord.
...
Your authority comes from the noble bloodline of St. Lorenzo, from the support of the billions of citizens of the Empire, from the protection of the Empire’s most elite troops, and it’s entirely unrelated to the crowned guy.”
hearing Colin’s last sentence, Judy burst into laughter, her demeanor relaxing considerably.
“Go ahead,” Colin released his hand, allowing Judy to proceed alone.
“Alright!”
Judy picked up the hem of her dress, taking strides on the steps.
The moment she stepped into the church gate, the sonorous bell rang out.
The spacious prayer hall was deliberately designed to be extremely empty, making people walking therein unconsciously feel their insignificance.
The colored glass was sprinkling colorful light and shadows under the illumination of the Holy Light. The angel statues on both sides of the hall stand majestically, gazes fixed on the petite figure stepping in.
The sound of hymn echoed in the hall and the solemn atmosphere made everyone hesitant to even breathe loudly.
Judy paused briefly at the door, her eyes revealing a hint of coldness as she looked at the newly appointed Pope Mensai standing at the other end of the hall.
But quickly, she began walking again, under complex gazes from the watching nobles of the empire, walked towards Mensai.
Behind her, Colin also made his way into the prayer hall.
The sound of hymn suddenly softened, as if the mute button had been pressed.
Even the holy light descending from the heaven dimmed a bit, the solemn atmosphere prevailing in the air also disappeared almost immediately.
Mensai’s lips twitched, but he dared not utter a word as he watched the heroic figure approaching.
Despite Colin’s blatant display of hostility and threat to the Church, no one dared to say anything.
As a Holy Knight, he has this strength and confidence!
Judy’s steps also lighten up considerably, and she arrived in front of Mensai very quickly.
Mensai looked down at the princess standing upright in front of him and frowned slightly.
After waiting for a moment, seeing Judy still standing straight, Mensai pointed at the pad on the ground, signaling Judy to kneel down.
Not sure if Judy didn’t understand Mensai’s hint, she was still standing straight.
Mensai thought she was too nervous and forgot the procedure, so he straightened his face and began to recite the prayer:
“Judy St. Lorenzo, today, I crown you in the name of the Supreme Lord!
May our Lord guide your way and clear your obstacles!
As the shepherd of our Lord, you should pity the citizens, respect your vassals, protect the glory…
From this day forth, you are the Emperor of the Empire of Glory, the ruler of all Knights, the leader of billions of humans!
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
The Supreme Lord of Glory blesses you, granting you power and dignity, immune from evil invasions!”
Mensai paused for a moment, turned around, took the crown from the maid’s hand, held it high and said loudly:
“Judy St. Lorenzo, please kneel down and accept the blessing of the Supreme Lord!”
This sentence was not a part of the normal prayer text, but Mensai had to be reminded after seeing Judy’s inaction.
However, Judy just stretched her face, staring firmly at Mensai in front of her.
The nobles witnessing the ceremony also noticed something was wrong, They exchanged glances but didn’t dare to discuss out loud.
Mensai’s face also darkened, he was just about to speak again when he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.
In an instant, he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped, almost making him unable to breathe.
Just then, Judy suddenly jumped up, snatched the crown from Mensai’s hand, and then elegantly placed it on her own head!
At this moment, the entire hall fell into silence.
Everyone stopped breathing.
But soon, suppressed exclamations broke out.
The nobles couldn’t care less about the etiquette or the occasion, it was widely debated.
The emperor actually snatched the crown from the pope and crowned herself!
What does this mean?
Is it a challenge from the imperial power to the theocracy? Or just pranks from a little girl?
For a moment, the nobles had different thoughts.
Did they know that, in recent years, the prestige of the Church has significantly declined.
Various scandals have emerged one after another, even the previous Pope Gregory, was killed by a member of St. Lorenzo.
And the Prince Harrison who killed the Pope had not been judged – of course he has lost the throne.
But such punishment still showed the lack of confidence in the church.
When the news of Colin personally climbing to the top of the Holy Mountain and forcing Mensai to release Harrison was spread throughout Dragon City.
And today, Judy’s actions have been a blatant slap in the face of the Church, ripping off its last shred of dignity, tossing it on the floor and stomping on it with vigor!
Facing such humiliation, Mensai still dared not make any inappropriate moves.
He just stood there, his face as red as a pig’s liver.
“Your Majesty…” Mensai’s voice slipped out between his teeth, full of infinite coldness.
But Judy seemed unconscious of it, just turned on her own, met her teacher Colin’s eyes, and then smiled cheekily.
Colin also replied with a radiant smile.
Then he strode forward, came in front of Judy, drew out his sword, kneeled on one knee, and loudly swore:
“Honorable ruler of the Empire of Glory, I swear my loyalty to you, from today until forever!”
The nobles finally snapped out of it, drawing out their swords as well, kneel down one by one, and solemnly swear their loyalty to the new emperor.
The loud voices echoed in the prayer hall, like the clash of gold and iron.
Looking at this scene, all the priests inside the hall turned pale, but when they turned their expectant eyes to Pope Mensai, they found that the Pope just shivered on the spot and didn’t dare to make any statements.
At this moment, the priests couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts-
The prestige of the Church seems to be gone for good.
“I, Judy St. Lorenzo, accept your loyalty!”
The voice of the Empress was still very immature, but there’s no one in the room had any plans to belittle her.
Not only because she has the bravery, but also, because she has a strong supporter!
The coronation ceremony ended this way.
Judy was the first to walk out.
Outside the church, loud cheers soon rose, gradually spreading throughout Dragon City, and even the entire Empire of Glory.
Everyone is clear, a new era, has come.
