Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 111 You Will Be Crowned King

The rituals and music of the royal family have been lined up from the foot of the guard mountain to the top of the white tower.Knights wearing silver armor and black cloaks lined up in two rows on both sides of the avenue.

Their eyes were reverent, their armor was bright, and they stared at Exelian, who was leaping forward.

Flowers kept falling.A rain of pink, white and red roses fell and settled on the victorious heroes.

The people are cheering.Not only the sides of the street, but even the balconies on the buildings were crowded.

Finally, the warriors passed through the final gate and entered the Fountain Square, where the withered white tree was.

Exelian took the reins and stopped.

At that time, all rituals and music stopped.

Everyone stared at him with reverence, staring at this glorious warrior. King Turgon II stood under the White Tower and looked at his son with a smile.

A strange light flashed in Exelion's eyes.He got off his horse and gave his father a smile, but his face was still mostly covered by the helmet.

He came up to his father, drew the sword from his belt, fell to his knees in reverence, and held it before him, the point resting on the coat of arms of the White Tree carved in the rocky ground.

That was the mark of the Lord of Gondor, but not of the Steward's House.This made Exelian feel uncomfortable.

"Ah, my son. I'm glad to see you come home safely." Turgon II said happily, his body seemed a little unsteady.

The drastic changes of the past few months have aged the great man, who is now covered in white hair and tired in his eyes.

But it won't be long before everything will be fine.

Looking at his father's old face, Exelian's inner thoughts became more firm.You no longer have to sacrifice for your people.

You no longer need to bear the weight of this crown.

I will take care of everything.

Exelion rose to his feet, armor clanging as it moved.He raised his hand and took off the gorgeous helmet from his head, revealing that handsome but heroic face.

"victory!"

He turned his head, raised his sword, and declared to the people in the fountain square, to the great Minas Tirith.

As a result, all the people inside the seven-story city wall cheered, and the huge sound almost toppled the clouds in the sky.

Seeing the flame of ambition in Exelian's eyes, Sauron, incarnate as Orendil, smiled triumphantly.

He knew that the Men of Gondor had fallen into his grasp.

On the balcony of the cottage, Gandalf watched all this worriedly.

That night.

Minas Tirith held a very grand celebration dinner, and almost all the soldiers of the expeditionary force were invited.The northern lords also sent envoys, together with some big names in the city, the whole city fell into a carnival.

Commoners, knights, and nobles all cheered loudly, drank wine, and danced around the city to celebrate this great victory.

In the great hall of the king's court, the lords of the north and south and the foreign kings of Umbar (the pirate king Angamati II also came to Minas Tirith as a prisoner) drank in the brilliantly lit hall, Or excitedly chatting about little anecdotes in the war, or conspiring to plan some terrible plans.

No one knows, just before the banquet begins.Our hero Exelian has a violent quarrel with his father, the regent (steward) of Gondor.

"We hold this rod in the name of the king, and rule the kingdom until the king returns."

The angry voice of the ruling prime minister sounded in the room, seeming to convince Exelian and himself, "In other places that don't pay much attention to royal power, my son, your terrible idea may be eliminated after a few years. Yes; but in Gondor even 1 years would not be enough."

"People call us prime ministers, the king's deputy! But this power is not ours! Exelian, don't forget this!"

And Exelion also replied in a colder, even angrier voice: "The blood of Elendil has been cut off long ago! This position has been vacant for thousands of years! It is our ancestors who tremblingly and diligently maintained Gondor. Kingship! Preserve the noble human lineage! Where was the king when our ancestors used blood and courage to repel the invasion of the chariot people in the east? When our ancestors led the people of Gondor to fight against the terrible shadow in the east , where is the king? And I am the one who recreated the glory of the people of Gondor! It is also I who have conquered the enemy for thousands of years! Why can't I..."

"Give up your terrible thoughts!" pleaded Turgon II. "My son, I know that these are not the truest thoughts of your heart! You have been away from your warm and pleasant home for too long, and your heart has been overwhelmed by the outside world. Bewitched by wind and frost and rumors! The people of Gondor will not support a person without royal blood to ascend to the throne! The nobles will not! Your ambition will only lead to boundless war, and ultimately destroy our family!"

"Under my blade, no one can oppose it!" Exelion said fearfully.

This greatly shocked Turgon II, who angrily drove his son out of the prime minister's bedroom and asked the guards to imprison him.

Facing his father's opposition and the guard's icy sword, Exelian's eyes revealed a terrifying light. "Then let us wait and see!" he said, then turned and left the royal court.

Wearing silver armor and black cloak, the imperial guards of the royal city did not dare to stop this Gondor hero who had achieved the honor that only a few kings could match, and could only let him go.

Exelian rode on a tall steed, looked back at the brightly lit hall, and drove away with a cold face.

No one knows where Exelion went that night.

All I know is that when everyone was preparing to celebrate the hard-won victory enthusiastically and excitedly, they found that Exelian the "Conqueror" who was supposed to be the protagonist was not there, and only Turgon II dragged on. The old body is dealing with the nobles and Umbar's subjects.

Thus, this added a shadow to the celebratory dinner.

It was at this time that a person found the gray robe wizard.

Looking like a thief in the shadows, a stranger in a furtive black cloak, hiding his face in the shadows.

Gandalf, who had been prepared for a long time, opened the door of the room and let him in.

Casting a small but extremely useful "trick", Gandalf closed the door after making sure no one was following him.

The person who came opened the cloak, revealing that handsome and handsome face.

It was Adrasil.

"Adrasir of Dol Amroth," said Gandalf, smiling, "it is not the manners of a noble man to come at night, and to dress like this."

But the swan knight Adrasil did not pursue the wizard's teasing, he said hastily: "Master Mithrandil, I am here on an urgent matter, so please forgive my impoliteness!"

Gandalf stopped smiling, and his sharp eyes fixed on this young man who was also famous.He nodded slowly until he confirmed that the person who came was trustworthy.

So, Adrasil told about the origin of Orendil and expressed his uneasiness.

He said: "That man made me extremely disturbed. He made the enemy of Gondor surrender for thousands of years with just one mouth! Under his bewitching, Exelian became extremely radical! Along the way, he disposed of many people who followed him. The reason for the generals who are fighting is that the battle is unfavorable! But we all know that the stalemate in the war is not because we are slack. But Exelian did not listen to the advice. He and the guy with a mysterious origin are hiding in the camp all day long to discuss something , the killing intent in his eyes became stronger and stronger. He...he..."

Forced by the original oath, Adrasil could not oppose his friend and his lord like a villain, but he became more and more worried about Exelian who was bewitched by Orendil.

Gandalf understood his concern.

"I will test the mysterious man." He said, "But I need you to send someone to keep an eye on his mansion! It is best to stay around the clock. If you find anything wrong, send a letter to me immediately."

Only then did Adrasil heaved a sigh of relief.

The two discussed for a while, and then Adrasil put on the cloak again and left secretly.

But even so, they were still one step too late.
