Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 113 The Coronation
Threatened by the coming of the mighty and holy one in the west, Sauron's actions became more cautious and mysterious.

He bewitched Exelion to order that Ishtar (wizard) be declared persona non grata.All Gondor humans are not allowed to accept and help the wizard, because he violated the laws of Gondor and was suspected of murdering the regent (prime minister) Turgon II.

At that time, many people were indeed sad in their hearts.Because the level of governance of the regent was judged as stupid by many people, but he always tried his best to support this weakened country in the chaotic days.

But at the same time, many people were disturbed by the royal court's sudden order to ban wizards' privileges in the human world.

The gray-robed Mythrandil, the white-robed wizard of Essinger, and even the legendary Friend of the Forest are all big figures with far-reaching vision and power. It is so frivolous to classify them as unwelcome people or even enemies. It will cast a shadow over the ancient kingdoms established by humans in the West.

10 month 2 day.

After three days of being inactive, the people of Minas Tirith held a grand commemoration ceremony for the deceased No. 20 fourth regent Turgon II.Then, under the leadership of his son, the hero Exelion of Umbar, who regained the old territory and conquered the millennium enemy of Gondor, he passed through Fen Hollen, the city of Gondor. A forbidden door on the sixth wall of Minas Tirith. Behind the door is a path that leaves the city and leads to the royal cemetery in Mount Mindoruin. The mausoleum that can only be buried with the prime minister of Gondor.

On this day, many people wore plain clothes and plucked off branches, and their eyes showed deep sorrow and sadness.

A song of remembrance is sung, dating back to the time when the blood of the kings was still alive.People spontaneously gathered at the Fountain Square to send the controversial regent his last journey.

And when the cold door of the royal tomb was closed heavily, all the controversies and blessings about the deceased were completely left on the other side of the door.People may still remember it for a while, but it is undeniable that everything about Turgon II will pass, and a new life will continue.

10 month 5 day.

It was the second day that the dwarves, elves, hobbits, dragons, skinchangers, and dragonborn all worked together to defeat an army of half-orcs led by the evil pale orc Borg on the Lonely Mountain.

Exelion, who had already dealt with the affairs of the previous regent, could no longer hold back his "ambition".He summoned all the lords to Minas Tirith, summoned them to the palace of the royal court, and announced an astonishing news.

"The royal power of the Western humans has been lost for too long, and the blood of the king has been cut off long ago. It is my ancestors and I who have worked hard to maintain this ancient and glorious country!" on the throne.

It was a throne placed on multiple steps, and the whole body was carved from holy white stone.The throne is covered with a canopy made of marble, shaped like a helmet with a crown.A blossoming tree is carved on the wall behind the throne, set with precious stones.

The regent's black stone seat is just below the left of the king's throne. It is dark and without any decoration, and it looks uncomfortable to sit on.

Exelian presumptuously sat on the throne that should not have belonged to him, looking down on everyone like a real king, his handsome and heroic face was majestic and gloomy, making it frightening. "Now, my father also died protecting this country. So, I have the right to demand. Demand a fair choice."

He pulled out the sword in his hand and pressed it against the smooth marble floor.

"The time has come! The time has come to choose a new king! The blood of the Steward's family shall replace the old king's blood as the new King of Gondor! And I, Ithili, conqueror of Barad-dur and Umbar Liberator of En, Restorer of Minas Ithil, Exthelion of House Hurin, son of Turgon II, shall be crowned King!"

The news was so astonishing that the generals of Gondor who were present that day were almost inexplicably horrified.

At that time, the Prince of Dol Amroth, the Lord of the Port of Pelakir, the Baron of Losarnach, and the Valley of Ringalo, the Highlands of Mersund, Amfalas, Lamedon, Ethir, and the "Green Hills" The southern lords such as Naskelin stood under the steps in surprise or silence, and no one dared to speak out against it.

Correspondingly, the lords of Kyle Andros and Anoris in the north were all surprised and rioted, but when they saw their silent colleagues in the south, these people wisely chose to keep their mouths shut.

Because, when Exelian made his presumptuous remarks, the palace of the royal court was full of royal guards wearing silver armor and black cloaks.

As Arathorn had said to Bilbo that day, no one would take their heads to see which was stronger against a nobler man and his sword.

In addition, the Umbar nobles headed by Angamati II responded to the usurpation of Turgon II's son.They fell on their knees and became the first Númenóreans to submit to the new king.

These old enemies "conquered" by Exelion, at the request of an evil will, shouted: "Exelion the Conqueror! Exelion the Lord of Gondor!"

and took their oath of allegiance.

So, facing the crazy Exelian and the sword in his hand.The northern and southern lords, including Adrasil's father, the old Prince of Dol Amroth, compromised and lowered their proud heads.

They swore an oath of allegiance to Exelian against their will, and this will become the bondage of many Gondor nobles.

Some people may not agree with Exelian's arrogance in their hearts, but the oath makes them unable to resist this disorderly order that violates Gondor's customs and laws for thousands of years.

Because in any case, it is not allowed to swing a sword at a person who has sworn allegiance.

And to be honest, many of them are actually happy to see the birth of a new king.The prime minister's family had ruled Gondor for many years, and some nobles no longer had much affection for the departed king's line, and they preferred to be loyal to Exelion, who seemed to have the majesty of a king at the time.

Looking at the group of nobles who bowed their heads, Exelian laughed wildly.

Father, did you see that?I am already king!
The former hero, now the fallen man shouted in his heart, and a trace of extremely complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.But what no one knew was that at that time, one of the Nine Commandments of Humanity emitted an ominous light on Exelian's finger holding the sword.

Thus, the people of Gondor, who had just experienced the pain of the king's death, were surprised to find that the ceremonies and horns of celebration sounded in the royal court, and a new king's banner was erected.

"The king is established, long live Exelion!"

The herald loudly announced the decrees of the royal court to the vast crowd of Minas Tirith. The knights loyal to the new king rode fast horses and charged straight down from the high royal court. The shouts echoed within the seven-storey high wall.

"The banner of the Prime Minister's family will replace that of Isildur. A new era has come! Long live the king!"

They stormed out of the gates of Minas Tirith, and proclaimed the news to the north, to the south, and even to their allies farther afield.

The entire Gondor and even the human world were shaken.

The people of Minas Tirith walked out of their houses in shock, surprise, or anxiety, shouting long live.
