This guy... was too presumptuous. Nightingale, who appeared from the fog, said dissatisfied. What did she mean by saying this!

Indeed, since she talked with Northland Pearl last time about dealing with the nobles by Iron Axe, her attitude has changed faintly, as if she gives people a sense of letting go of herself, although for Roland, it is nothing bad.

Well... He thought for a moment, could you tell the authenticity of this sentence?

It's true, Nightingale curled her lips, at least she didn't lie when she hopes you pay attention to your health, otherwise I would have controlled her to ask what was going on.

Since that's the case, let's just follow her.Roland smiled and said, if everyone has to guess what they think, it would be a little too tiring, I don’t have that much energy.

The nightingale, who was originally indignant, suddenly stopped, then pretended to be careless and turned her head away, saying, "It's just like that..." She usually worrys about one or two people.

Well, your concealment level is simply putting everything in your mind on your face.

Roland tried his best to hold back the corner of his mouth that was about to rise and cleared his throat, "So let's go back to the office, there is still a lot of work to deal with next."

For example, putting two internal combustion engines that have passed the finalization test into the use of optical power sources is only the first step. How to mass-produce and manufacture matching mechanical equipment are difficult issues that need to be overcome.

In addition, there are also the design and assembly of armored trains, the production of biocolloids, and the expansion of more factories and troops, etc.

But compared to another thing, he can put all these tasks aside.

Although it does not have much significance in itself, it is essential to gather public opinion after completing this form.

From the moment Livya arrives in Wudong City, it means that all the conditions before ascending the throne are ready.

*******************

A week later, Wudong Castle District was open to the public for the first time. Under the guidance of police and guards, thousands of screened people gathered inside and outside the courtyard, excitedly waiting for the arrival of the moment of the new king's crown.

Outside the castle area, the streets are filled with lights and people, even if there are still scattered snowflakes in the sky, it cannot stop people from celebrating.

For this ceremony, the Lord's Castle was temporarily renovated.

The exterior wall of the vestibule was demolished and replaced with a fence that did not hinder the view; the furnishings in the yard were also removed and flat grass was paved.

Just climb the castle area along the long slope and you can see the entire ceremony venue.

Long banners with red bottom and black sides hung on both sides of the castle, hanging from the roof to the ground. This color combination is particularly eye-catching in the snow-covered background, and adds a sense of heaviness to this not-so-magnificent castle.

The biggest change comes from the second floor of the castle.

It seemed as if overnight, a diagonal brace was built on the bare facade, making a half-empty terrace on the second floor.

The front of the terrace happens to face the vestibule gate, and there is no doubt that the king will receive blessings from the people here.

Only Minister Carl, the designer, knew that this quickly completed platform structure was from the witch's hand that Ms. Aegasa stretched out the ice wall on the castle wall, and then Miss Soroya drew a masonry layer, which became a part of the castle's authenticity.

And in such weather, the thick ice wall is enough to last for several days.

……

At this moment, there was another scene in the castle.

Your Majesty, are you ready?Wendy's question came from outside the bedroom door. All the ministers and guests were here, just waiting for you to show up.

I get it, it will be fine right away.Roland responded and turned to look at the girl in a pure white dress. What do you think?

Wait a little longer... I was still a little nervous. The other party was Anna. She stood in front of the windowsill and looked down at the noisy crowd below through the curtain. There were obvious waves in her blue eyes. Do you really want to go on stage with me?The etiquette official said that such a thing had never happened in the throne ceremony in the past.

She was not as fearless as he thought. Roland realized that although Anna had always been smiling at each other before, when this moment came, she would still feel worried and confused.

Her outstanding learning and love for new knowledge make her feel confident most of the time. When she devotes her body and mind to creation and manufacturing, she shines like a genius.

But apart from these halos, she was just a girl in her early twenties who grew up in a remote township.

Now that we are about to face the attention of thousands of people, it is impossible not to be nervous, right?

Thinking of this, Roland smiled and said in the softest voice, "I'll be the first person to make an exception."Or do you want me to crown myself alone?

Of course not, Anna shook her head and said, I just...

Roland walked forward and opened his hand to hug her. Then I'll say something different.

To put it another way?

Well, he took a breath and asked seriously, Miss Anna, I want to hire you as my wife, are you willing?

Puff, Anna couldn't help laughing out loud, no!I'm not a prisoner in the cage now, and...

And what?

The appointment time is too short.She hammered Roland's shoulder hard, then stretched out her right hand wearing white veil to him, thank you, Roland.Take me down.

Roland held her palm firmly and obeyed the order.

……

Opening the door, the two of them slowly walked through the corridor, down the stairs, and entered the hall on the first floor.

The hall, which was originally crowded, immediately became quiet. Everyone was divided into two rows, lowered their heads slightly to welcome Roland's arrival.

He walked along the line to the left were the witches of Winterless City. He saw Tilly, Ashes, Nightingale, Wendy, Lightning, Aegas... familiar faces came into his eyes. Compared to the fugitives who had nowhere to settle three years ago, they have now reintegrated into the new social order and are gradually becoming an inseparable part of the human kingdom.

On the right are city hall officials and representatives from various places, such as Barov, Itis, Iron Axe, Karl, Kemo, Tassa, Yoko, etc.... They have formed the power organization of the Grayburg Kingdom, from an unknown ordinary person to a rising political star.

As usual, ascending the throne would be an extremely tedious process, but for the witches and the officials of the Winter City, Roland's position as king was already a certain fact, so this process was greatly simplified.

He walked with Anna's hand to the center of the hall where there was a stone table, and two golden crowns stood on the table.

Neither Wimbledon III nor Hermes Church existed anymore. He declined the liturgical officer's request for reciprocity and decided to wear a crown with Anna.

Ascension to the throne and crowning are carried out at the same time as the crown prince, and it is still an unprecedented thing in Gray Castle.

The etiquette officer naturally expressed his objection, but it was not binding on him who was in power, and Barov also unexpectedly stood on his side.

Roland bent down and asked Anna to put a crown on her first, then gently put another crown on top of her head.

When the two turned around, everyone knelt down on one knee.

Long live my king!

Amid the shouts of the crowd, he held Anna's hand and stepped step by step towards the ladder built at one end of the hall, passed through the overhead dome, and climbed to the castle terrace.

A surging wave suddenly broke out below the courtyard!

Without waiting for him to raise his hand to signal, the people who had been waiting for a long time had already vented their respect in their hearts.

Long live His Majesty Roland!

Long live the king!

Long live the winter city without it!

The cheers were deafening and rushed straight into the sky. The crowd seemed to be exploding. Ribbons and petals sprinkled from the terrace, flying with the cold wind, overshadowing the momentum of ice and snow for a while.

In the distance, the roar of artillery came from the camp of the First Army, and the sound of bells ringing over the city were reflected in the moment, at the intersection of this wilderness and the western border, the king of Gray Castle was born.
