Episode 27: Triumph Ceremony

Full season when the Lemurian Empire had great military power, invaded all parts of the world, and prevented barbarian incursions.

And the current period of decline, when the military superiority of the Lemurian Empire collapsed, invaded by barbarians everywhere, and fell until it split between East and West.

Normally, the number of triumphal ceremonies will be more in full season and less in decline.

but in fact the triumph ceremony is more frequent after a period of decline.

For what reason?

That's because in full season, even small military victories such as those that don't seem to extend to executing triumphal ceremonies… bandit crusades, rebel crusades, etc. are now taking place.

In other words, the triumph ceremony was not a ceremony to celebrate victory, but turned into a ceremony for the development of national authority.

Well, Erkühr has performed three triumphal ceremonies so far.

The first time was when he beat Darios.

The second time was when I defeated my brother, Hadrianus.

And the third time was when he conquered the Duchy of Travizos.

Well... in fact, these three victories were a little too small a triumph to perform the triumphal ceremony in the sense of the Lemurian Empire in its full season.

It is common sense that the Personian Mercenary Regiment territory, the Principality of Travizos, etc. are small countries that can fly if they blow (from the Lemurian Empire in its entirety), and rebel crusades, etc. do not perform triumphal ceremonies or anything else because they are ashamed of having been rebelled in the first place.

And...

From now on, Erkühl will perform his fourth triumphal ceremony.

Victory over the kingdom of Pharus, the protectorate of the kingdom of Hayastan, the treasures plundered into large sums of compensation, and the military flag taken from the earlier wars, the recapture of national treasures…

Will these be enough to carry out a true triumphal ceremony?

The answer...

Yes.

The kingdom of Fars is comparable to the Lemurian Empire, no more a military power.

It defeated the Farse kingdom.

The baldness that founded the Lemurian Empire will also want to applaud this.

Well done, he said.

Screw you...

The triumphal ceremony begins.

"" Long live the Emperor!! Long live the Emperor!!

In the great cheer of the citizens, the parade continues.

The warriors, who were surrounded by generals and then fought with Erkühl, led by Erkühl in a four-headed carriage of white horses, followed by many flocks of coffins...... who died in battle, but certainly fought with Erkühl and followed by those who deserved the honor of triumph.

And finally, the loot won by Erkühr, a carriage carrying loot, proudly marches down the capital's boulevard.

Among the spoils of war were the images of the captive Farse kingdom generals, soldiers, beginning with Coward.

The band accompanies them and plays gorgeous music, letting the petals prepared in advance by the bureaucrats descend from the top of the building and colour the parade with glamour.

The end point of the parade is the Grand Racecourse.

There Erkühl holds the box in his hand, gets off the carriage and puts his foot on the ground.

High ranking generals behind them...... Galphis, Edmond, Carolina, Darios and Oscar follow.

And they, the generals, whisper in their ears every time Elquille makes a few steps forward.

"Remember death."

Now you may be at the top, but I don't know if you will be again tomorrow.

One day a man dies, he decays. Remind me of it and never be proud of it.

So admonish the victor.

That's how you get to the Grand Racecourse.

The audience is full of overflowing citizens, filled, and Lucanos, Christos, Todris, and several high-ranking ministers greet the Elquilles.

And the ministers who followed him behind the Elquille, Galphis, Edmond, Carolina, Darios, Oscars, and those who waited at the Grand Racecourse, kneel down to the Elquille in unison.

And chant in unison.

"" Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live our emperor, whom God has given us!!

"" God bless our emperor!!

"" God bless the Lemurian Empire!! Lemuria, be forever!!

"" God is with us, God is with us, God is with us!!

And to signal it, the citizens who had been quiet recite it in unison.

"" Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live our emperor, whom God has given us!!

"" God bless our emperor!!

"" God bless the Lemurian Empire!! Lemuria, be forever!!

"" "God is with us!! God is with us!! God is with us!! God is with us!! God is with us!! God is with us!! God is with us!! God is with us!!!

"You've come a lot, Titus. Actually, I need a favor from you."

"From His Majesty the Emperor, ask me...... is it? Whatever."

The day after the triumphal ceremony, Erkür called Titus, his real brother.

Titus has a strange look on his face.

"Is that made-up clothing?

"No, well...... it's true I'm looking forward to your new one too...... oh!! Right, I have to make Renalier made-up clothes!! I remember!!... later, I'll teach you three sizes, so you can design it to look good on him."

And Niyaniya and Erkür smile.

Erkühr had not forgotten the resentment embedded in Renalier.

I feel good just imagining that clear face turning red with shame.

There are not only maid clothes, but bunny girls, nurses, dancers, chinese dresses and lots of things to wear.

And, well, that aside...

"First of all, the building of the Cathedral of Nova Remulia...... no, it's rebuilt. That's not weird when you fall down anymore."

Cathedral of Nova Remulia.

Hundreds of years have already passed since the building of this cathedral, the workplace of Lucanos, where the Archbishop Nova Remulia was placed.

Originally designed with a technically critical size to the limit...... the durability of this cathedral raises a question mark.

As a matter of fact, there have been complaints from Lucanos that he is "leaning" and "sometimes, there is a strange noise" …

Perhaps even one of the earthquakes, one of the fires, would collapse in no time.

In the first place, but during the Alektia decree, Erkühl was considerably compromised by the Orthodox clergy of the Lemurian Empire... which means he is grateful.

It's time to return the favor.

That was the rebuilding of the Cathedral of Nova Lemuria.

"To my knowledge, you are the best architect and artist in this country. Can you do that?"

"I'll take care of it! Let's build and show the best cathedrals in architectural history… by the way, budget…"

"There are limits, but it doesn't matter if it's slightly higher. Instead, I want you to make something great."

"Yes!"

In addition to compensation, there was room in the national treasury of the Lemurian Empire for increased tax revenues due to monopoly business, tax reform and rising agricultural productivity.

The cost of building a cathedral can be twisted.

"And one more thing, build me the Arc de Triomphe.... the biggest guy in Lemurian history."

"Ha... I don't mind..."

A human being named Erkühl is not as greedy but rather vanity strong.

Such Elquille, in fact, wanted to someday try the architecture of the 'Arc de Triomphe' to commemorate the victory.

That too, if you can, is the biggest Triumph Gate in history.

Waste of money?

Compensation and increased tax revenues owe it to me. I won't let you complain.

That is Elquille's claim.

Well, at least no one can complain about the status quo erkür.

Elquille is a relative among the monarchs, one who does not waste.

There was not a single human being to that extent who had won so much in the war and, on top of that, had achieved so many different achievements, such as rebuilding finances and solving religious problems.

… and a tourist attraction.

"I just want you to build a consolation tablet with me near the Arc de Triomphe. A soldier who died in this war is a consolation tablet that engraves the name of the soldier, whether he dies in the Darios war or the Hadrianus commotion, the Travizos war, or the war that is to come."

"... then you won't need that much breadth?

"Oh, so with this triumphant gate and consolation tablet, I'm going to build a new park. Build a new city center around the park. to support the population, which will increase from now on."

The population influx into the city of Nova Remulia continues.

The city of Nova Lemuria is a planning city and is created sparingly from the reflection that the urban environment in the city of Lemuria, the capital of the old Lemurian Empire, was very poor.

As a result, there is plenty of room to create a park.

"Including the park, the design is left to the artists of Titus and Titus' friends. Let me know when you have the design and the cost estimates you need."

That's what Elquille stands up for.

There are other things Elquille needs to do.

In particular, the foreign affairs, internal affairs and… of the Kingdom of Hayastan, which became a part of the

It's not over yet, it's about paying compensation from the Farse kingdom and returning prisoners and military flags.

It is war, including post-war processing.

"Oh yeah... don't forget your maid clothes, huh?

"I know..."

Titus laughed bitterly.

Later, when asked about the construction of the "Arc de Triomphe", the "Consolation Monument" and the "Park", Renalier praised the Elquille in this way.

"I don't know if a man named Erkühl is trying to set up a 'consolation tablet' as he sets up a 'triumphal gate', a 'triumphal gate' as he sets up a 'consolation tablet', or whether the 'park' is his destiny.

Besides, I don't know if I'm thinking of a soldier's heart and trying to make a 'consolation tablet', or if I'm trying to deviate from dissatisfaction from the soldier's family and set up a 'consolation tablet' to beautify death and raise morale, unless I peek into his heart to see which is the real purpose.

There's only one thing I can say.

I guess he is supported by the people and soldiers because he can pay attention to these details.

A genius who does what people don't like, who makes people unhappy, can combine the genius that makes people happy.

Ability to read people's minds, I guess that's the talent that monarchs need most "

A little bit of an omelet.
