I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 86 Appointment and Removal Ceremony
A peaceful life always passes quickly, and the next morning arrives as promised.

But today's imperial capital is a little different, many people flock to Britannia Cathedral.

In fact, every emperor of Britannia was crowned by the Pope a long time ago. They considered themselves the inheritors of the Holy Roman Empire, so they also inherited some customs of the Roman Empire.

So the full name of this country is also called Holy Britannia Empire.

The so-called "emperor" is actually a near word translation.

Emperor is a vocabulary invented by Qin Shihuang, which was taken from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. After he ruled the world, he thought that "the virtues of the Three Emperors, and the merits of the Five Emperors" called himself "Emperor". Only the land of China has this title.

The title of the supreme ruler of the Roman Empire is "Augustus" in Latin, transliterated as "Augustus", and the free translation should be "Holy Great".

Augustus is the title of the supreme ruler of the Britannian Empire.

But in the generation of Alicia's great-grandfather, they reformed Britannia's own religion, abolished most of the religious hierarchy, and established the elder system so that more believers could manage the church. At the same time, these elders The leader voted jointly is the "Supreme Bishop"

The pope of the church in Britannia, the emperor of Britannia, also represented the divine right of kings. The church became a tool in the hands of the royal family. Since then, the imperial power has had the momentum to overwhelm the church.

So from then on, the coronation of the emperor was basically not presided over by the highest leader of the church.

This is the first church appointment in Britannia in more than 100 years, so many people came to watch it.

The Britannia Cathedral, also known as the Baal Cathedral, was built under the auspices of the first emperor, and its specifications were modeled after the Vatican's church.

There is a large square at the entrance of the church, which serves as the activity center for the people.

The square is surrounded by two semi-arc-shaped corridors, each of which is supported by 284 tall round stone pillars on the top of the corridor, and there are 142 statues of saints and saints famous in the history of the church on the top of the corridor. Different and lifelike.

There is a beautiful fountain on both sides of the statue in the middle of the square. The trickling clear spring symbolizes the water of life that God bestows on believers.

Alicia had only been here when she was very young, and since she lost her sight she rarely came here.

Coming here again, even though she has seen a lot of beautiful natural scenery and even soared in the sky, it is inevitable that she will be moved by this magnificent scene.

Those beautiful scenery represent the uncanny craftsmanship of nature, and these buildings symbolize the brilliance and prosperity of human civilization.

The appearance of the cathedral is magnificent, with a front width of 115 meters and a height of 45 meters. It is symmetrical on both sides with the center line as the axis. Eight columns stand symmetrically in the middle, and four square columns are arranged on both sides. There are five gates between the columns and two floors. There are 8 balconies.

The middle one is called Blessing Balcony. The door of the balcony is closed on weekdays. During major religious festivals, the Supreme Bishop will appear on the Blessing Balcony to bless the believers who come.

On the flat roof of the church stands a crucifix in the middle, and there are many exquisite decorations on the tall dome.

The gate on the left side of the cathedral is guarded by special guards. They are all tall and burly, wearing ancient knight costumes with red, yellow and blue stripes, and holding halberds. They are very majestic.

The gate is wide open. Standing on the square, if you have better eyesight, you can directly see the inside of the church. This is also deliberately designed, in order to allow more people to see the enthronement ceremony and see the monarchy of the Britannian emperor. oracle.

There are already many believers standing inside the church at this moment, as well as some men and women in military uniforms and gorgeous noble clothes.

The supreme bishop Puni is already waiting with the canonization edict.

It was a Mediterranean man in his 60s, with a bald head, fat head and big ears, and some old spots on his face. He looked very kind and was wearing a pure white teaching uniform.

Alicia came late, so she didn't find a good place, but she wore farsighted glasses made by Arthur, so she could see farther scenery.

It was made by him in order to see the scenery on the earth more clearly in the sky, using the principle of the telescope.

So she can also clearly see the faces of everyone inside the church.

"Nearly half of the nobles in Britannia are here," Alicia said.

This is a very exaggerated number. You must know that there are many nobles who are not in the imperial capital.

Britannia is such a vast country, and it may take hundreds of kilometers to drive any distance.

"It's not surprising." Isabel said, "When my father was in office, he always wanted to take back the land in the hands of the nobles and limit their power. Victor also made friends with a group of nobles through this."

Alicia nodded.

While they were communicating, the people beside them were also whispering, and some words reached their ears.

"What's going on recently, His Majesty Moria just passed away, Queen Isabel's health was clearly fine, but she became unwell as soon as she succeeded, the West French Empire and the Spanish Empire also declared war on Britannia.

It seems like all the bad things come together. "

"Who knows."

"Tell me, could it be that you were punished by God for disrespecting God?"

"Don't dare to say that nonsense."

"What are you afraid of? Is it possible that a big shot of this level would deliberately eavesdrop on us?"

"Hey, I hope Prince Victor can reverse the current situation."

Listening to the conversation of the people around, Isabel's face gradually became gloomy.

In this era, the vast majority of civilians are apolitical, and they don't speak these words.

"With these idle thoughts, how good it is to go to the south to fight the Spanish Empire." Isabel said.

Alicia was silent.

While they were talking, the main road leading to the church had been cleared by the army, and a group of soldiers in military uniforms acted as a "human wall" to divide the crowd.

Alicia looked up.

At the end of the street, what appeared in front of everyone was a group of guards dressed in medieval red costumes, armed with live ammunition.

Then there was a royal carriage, the horses were tall and majestic, their manes were carefully groomed, and they were covered with gorgeous decorations, inlaid with gold threads, shining in the sunlight.

The carriage is also gorgeous golden, very high, and is hollowed out, very luxurious, allowing the nobles sitting on it to overlook the surrounding people to their heart's content.

When a man in military uniform and sash appeared, there was thunderous applause, and the music of the band resounded through the sky.

"Hello, Prince Victor! Hello, Prince Victor!"

The crowd was excited, praising the man in the carriage like crazy.

Alicia looked at the tear-filled eyes of the person who had just spoken beside her, threw up her hat, and also yelled hoarsely.

Humans are creatures of the crowd, and with the excited praise of this part of the people, the people around were also infected and began to shout Victor's name.

He was sitting in a gorgeous carriage, the medals on his body were shining under the sunlight, smiling and waving to the people around him.

Seeing his close-to-people appearance, the cheers of the people around him became even louder.

Victor's military talent is very high. He has been resisting the invasion of the Spanish Empire in the south. He has made a lot of military achievements and has a certain reputation in the empire. Now that the Spanish Empire is invading, people are expecting Prince Victor to defeat their enemies. It's a shame.

Of course, the people placed by Victor here played a big role in setting off the atmosphere.

Isabel watched all this coldly, she looked at Victor sitting in the carriage, and said slowly.

"After my mother died, my father has actually been investigating the murderer behind the scenes, but we have never asked us about the specific circumstances.

When I inherited the throne not long ago, the secret police responsible for investigating this matter told me some clues they had investigated over the years.

The background of the well-trained maid was actually not qualified to enter the palace at all, but someone threatened the head steward who was responsible for recruiting the maid.

His daughter was kidnapped by the robbers, and the robbers would let his daughter go only if they did what they said.

When the accident happened, the chief executive committed suicide by taking poison, and his daughter's body was found not long after.

The ones without strands were discarded in the mountains, and most of them were eaten by wild beasts.

But the secret police still found some clues. The dead girl had her throat cut with a knife.

The method of cutting the throat is very special, and only a special tribe in southern Britannia knows it.

Most of these tribes are in the secret troops of the Britannian Southern Army. "

Alicia's pupils narrowed slightly, and she raised her head to look at Victor in the carriage.

Isabel's voice was low, "In other words, he is the biggest suspect, but so far, we haven't had any particularly direct evidence."

Victor's carriage moved very slowly, as if to show his appearance in the eyes of the public as much as possible.

But in the end the carriage reached the door of the church, and he stepped out of the carriage slowly. The attendant beside him took a velvet knight's cloak and put it on for him.

He strode in with confident steps, and then half-kneeled in front of the Supreme Bishop.

The emperor can sit directly on the throne and be crowned by the supreme bishop, but the canonization of the regent obviously cannot be surpassed.

Puni slowly opened the imperial edict in his hand, which was written in Isabel's tone and in Old English, so it felt like speaking in classical Chinese.

The general meaning is to talk about what happened recently, and then say that the empire is in turmoil at the moment, but she is unable to do what she wants.

For the sake of the people and the future of Britannia, it is decided to put someone more capable in power.

Victor listened patiently to Pony's nonsense, because in the end, it was his favorite part.

"The son of Emperor Garter III today, Prince Victor has made great contributions in protecting the country and governing the country well. He is famous in this world and has made great achievements in the future. Now, in accordance with God's will, he is named regent and assists in government affairs. Thank you!"

Hearing these words, an imperceptible smile appeared on Victor's calm face. For him, he had waited too long for this scene.

Although he is only the regent now, in his opinion, this is just a prelude to his real ascension to the throne, and it is only a matter of time.

Pony took out a crown that symbolized the power of the regent from a plate on one side, and was about to put it on Victor's head.

Alicia took a deep breath, turned her head and said, "Let's go, it doesn't make any sense to read on."

Isabel was also a little depressed. There was nothing more painful than seeing the enemy happy but she was powerless. To be honest, she already regretted coming here.

Isn't it nice to look at the scenery in the castle courtyard?
"Dang Dang~, Dang Dang~"

At this moment, Alicia's attention was attracted by the morning bell of the church. When she turned her head, she saw that the bell on the church began to vibrate automatically.

"Dang Dang~, Dang Dang~"

The rhythm is light and the bells are melodious.

People raised their heads suspiciously.

Then, people were surprised to find that in the sky, countless snow-white and holy feathers swayed and fell like snow.

Alicia raised her hand to try to catch the feathers, but the feathers disappeared when they landed on her hands
