Pirate Kingship
Chapter 929 - 530: 1 King, 2 Queens: My Rules Are the Rules_4
The entire text elaborates on how to limit royal power, ensuring the private rights and property rights of other groups.
Even treason theoretically requires a trial before it can be convicted, although the actual operation is another matter, every single clause is undoubtedly a shackle bound upon the King.
No wonder it’s ridiculed by many nations as the weakest "Iron Rule" on the Old Continent.
If it were an ordinary person, they would certainly hope for more limitations on royal power, but now the one being limited is himself.
Even if he successfully crowns, widely reclaiming royal power, the existence of the [Royal Iron Rule - Great Charter] itself dooms him to be a limited monarch, until history transitions to "Monarch Parliament" and "Constitutional Monarchy."
Byron raised an eyebrow:
"Times have changed. No one can limit me, not even the Magna Carta.
Having a claim and merely having a claim are two different concepts.
Although I possess a strong claim right, my throne is not derived from others’ recognition and bequests.
But from my sword, firearms, grand fleet! From my Ladder of Glory and Bloodline Codex! From my Navy and Marines!"
At this moment, reminded by Byron’s mental voice, Catherine and Violet simultaneously rose to his side, with divine light blooming, seeming to blend with him like a pair of wings.
Under the gaze of the assembly, Byron gently smiled at the two Queens, stood up, raised the scepter and Sovereign Orb in his hand, and declared loudly:
"Do not fear the changes in celestial phenomena, the ancestral rules don’t necessarily need to be followed, nor excessively worry about mortal discussions.
The "Great Charter" established by ancestors and nobles is indeed excellent, but I think it’s time for some clauses and the spirit of the law in it to change."
Even without prior discussion, most of the congregation that had arrived here did not possibly object to any of his opinions.
Led by members of the [Privy Council] and [Demonic Banquet Council], they collectively bowed to heed his commands.
Boom!
With the three of them as anchor points, the [Golden Law] soared through the sky.
"I declare with the authority of the [King of the Wild Hunt]:
God-given royal power! I am the ruler of the sky and the defender of royal power, I will make my followers become monarchs and kings in every corner of the world!"
This vow symbolizes he possesses the power of the heavens.
"The army is my scepter! I will grant nobles, clergy, and officials the power to manage cities, armies, wilderness, and oceans!"
This symbolizes the power to govern people.
"I, the head of the gods, shall rule Heaven, the mortal realm, and the underworld, possessing the power to communicate, placate the deceased, and bestow upon them the afterlife!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
This symbolizes the power over the land.
The core clauses of the [Golden Law] changed subtly again, integrating the national situations of Hightins and the Sacred Golden Empire.
The will of God represented the legitimacy of royal power; military strength was the cornerstone of royal rule; the power to communicate with ancestors and rule over the deceased subdued the people.
These three combined with their [Golden Triangle] form the foundation of this law.
Moreover, every time Byron spoke a sentence, one of the three had a Golden Crown bloom atop their head, shooting a beam straight into the clouds.
The [Royal Iron Rule - Great Charter] was gradually dyed in gold, its underlying structure was newly completed.
Originally, it only had the power to govern people, and it was a limited power that had been dissected and weakened.
Now, it was thoroughly supplemented like the Sacred Golden Empire, capable of simultaneously commanding the heavens, earth, and people within the entire kingdom.
Thus, the Kingdom of Hightins also became the connecting point of the two major law networks, Gold and Silver, and two collective unconsciousnesses.
It was also the most stable part of the Old Continent’s legal system, besides St. Peter’s Cathedral, the core of the Silver Law.
Moreover, Byron’s steadfast fortress shall never sink.
Besides Byron’s direct lineage, other people in the assembly had never seen the [Golden Law], and for the time being had not realized the momentous and profound turning point that had just occurred.
Yet they could clearly see above Catherine’s and Violet’s heads, apart from the ordinary gemstone crowns, each rose a Luminous Crown representing the [Queen] rank of this country...
In essence, they were identical, with no distinction between superior and inferior, shining alongside Byron’s crown.
Under the precious radiance of the two crowns, the luxurious skirts of these two Queens were the grandest Red and White Roses in the entire kingdom!
"This is... One King, Two Queens?!"
Foreign emissaries realized this at once and were shocked.
This was far more heart-stirring than Byron crowning himself.
This meant that the iron rule of [Silver Code] has been broken!
However, the Fourth Order Holy Knight and Night Watch, [Holy Hammer] Oliver, along with other Protestant clergy from the religious orders, upon seeing this scene, suddenly wore solemn expressions.
They even subconsciously bowed their bodies slightly and in unison.
The [Silver Code] created by the creator governed the entire Old Continent.
In the fifteen hundred years before, never had any king, emperor, or even a Pope comparable to a Sixth Order Demigod been able to break even a strand of the limits of the [Silver Code].
And in the unshakeable fixed cognition of the Protestant clergy, only one person can break the limits—the true master of the law!
