Hearing his mother's request rashly, the silver-haired boy was slightly startled.
However, neither Maester Daniel nor Steward David Sand, who were sitting next to the throne, were at all surprised.
News about King's Landing has gradually spread. Just when Queen Layla and Viserys left Westeros and went to sea, King's Landing had officially fallen.
Lord Tywin led twelve thousand soldiers to King's Landing under the banner of King Qin, but was turned away by Aerys II.
Among the royal ministers, Archmaester Pycile overwhelmed the intelligence chief Varys and persuaded the king to open the city gate to welcome the Western Army into the city.
However, when the gates of King's Landing were opened and the Lannister army entered the city, the Duke of Casterly Rock, who had been loyal and surrendered before, suddenly turned his back and ordered the army to start sacking King's Landing in the name of Robert Baratheon.
This city, which had never been conquered from the outside, once again fell from the inside.
His Majesty Aerys II, who is still in King's Landing, is currently unknown about his life and death. There is no conclusive news, but he must be in danger.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Queen Leila suddenly made such a decision.
"Your Majesty the Queen."
At this moment, the old bachelor sitting aside suddenly spoke, and then stood up tremblingly while holding on to his chair.
"If you want to crown His Highness, you still need to follow the will of the Seven Gods."
The coronation of a new king is a big event and requires a very complicated ceremony. First of all, there must be a decent cathedral. During the Targaryen dynasty, most kings in the past were crowned in St. Baelor's Cathedral.
There happens to be a temple on Dragonstone. It is said that Aegon the Conqueror knelt down and prayed here on the eve of setting sail to conquer the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.
However, according to the records of the Targaryen family, this is not credible because Aegon suddenly converted to the Seven Gods after he reached Oldtown during the conquest of Westeros.
Therefore, this church should have been built after the conquest.
And a church is not enough for the coronation of a new king.
It is also necessary for the archbishop and several archbishops to jointly hold a coronation ceremony for the new king. During the coronation ceremony, it is also necessary to apply holy oil, the archbishop recites words of blessing, etc...
However, now the barren Dragonstone Island has nothing but a church. There are even very few monks and nuns, not to mention the archbishop and archbishop.
When Queen Layla heard what Bachelor Daniel said, she looked slightly dazed, then lowered her head and rubbed her eyebrows.
"Sorry, Maester Daniel."
"I made some mistakes."
Although the silver-haired woman acted very strong, the pain of losing her country and her family was still like ants eating her flesh and blood, making her a little confused.
She just wanted to pass on the king and crown her children, so that the flame of hope in her heart would not go out.
The Targaryen dynasty did not fall at the hands of her generation.
"In that case, let's go to the church."
Then the old maid helped Queen Layla up, and Sir Shad, who was sitting on the other side, also stood up holding his sword and said.
"Then, Your Majesty the Queen, I will go find the monk."
"There is no need to go to those monks."
"Sir."
However, the housekeeper's proposal was immediately rejected by the silver-haired woman.
Queen Leila stood in front of the seat in the center of the round table and looked at everyone present. The golden crown with a ruby in the center shone dazzlingly under the torch.
He took a deep breath to cheer himself up, and then spoke.
"These are extraordinary times."
"I will crown Viserys, as long as it is under the watchful eyes of the Seven Gods."
...
There are statues of the Seven Gods in the sanctuary on Dragonstone.
At this moment, Viserys was half-kneeling under the statue of the Seven Gods, and beside him stood his mother, Queen Leila Targaryen.
The queen, who changed into a black velvet dress, looked even more noble, with a slender and graceful figure, long silver hair hanging around her waist, one hand caressing the head of Viserys, and the other hand holding a
The oath was now written by Maester Daniel and recited in a low voice.
"This feeling..."
Viserys was half-kneeling on the ground, feeling a little uncomfortable for some reason, as if he had taken off his clothes and was being looked at thoroughly.
In the spacious sanctuary, Queen Layla recited an oath for her son, while Bachelor Daniel, Sir Shad and others were far behind to witness all this.
As for the focus of everyone's attention, the silver-haired boy's body seemed to be squirming restlessly.
Then Queen Leila held her down with her hands.
"Are you willing to have a kind heart..."
Mother's voice sounded from above her head.
However, Viserys felt that his breathing was slightly short of breath at this moment, and no one noticed that his face turned red, as if the blood in his body began to burn.
What his mother said was heard in his ears, but Viserys could only nod blankly and said "I promise", while raising his head slightly and looking at everything around him with confused eyes.
The tall statue of the Seven Gods is overlooking the little man below.
In the sept of Dragonstone, the old woman's eyes are pearls, the Heavenly Father's beard is gilded, and the Stranger looks more like an animal than a human.
The idols are carved from the masts of the ships that the ancestors of the Targaryens took when they fled across the sea from Valyria. Over the centuries, they have been painted with layers of paint, gilded, and gilded with silver.
, set with jewelry.
There are also several altars in the church with stained glass, which reflect dazzling light under the light of torches.
"So hot..."
Viserys felt his palms burning slightly when he pressed them on the floor of the temple, as if he was in a big furnace, with flames everywhere burning everything.
"No..."
"It's so hot."
However, everyone around him seemed to have no such feeling, only Viserys felt strange.
"what on earth is it?"
"Why do I feel like this under the gaze of the Seven Gods?"
Viserys was puzzled, but his body temperature continued to rise.
He knew that the coronation ceremony at this moment was very important, so he tried hard to maintain himself and not be exposed.
However, his breathing became more and more rapid as time passed, and Viserys seemed to be melted by the flames. His skin, muscles, blood, organs, and bones were all burned into carbon by the flames, and eventually turned into ashes.
And at this time.
Queen Leila's long oath recitation finally came to an end.
Then the silver-haired woman took off the golden crown set with rubies from her head, and slowly placed it on Viserys' head.
"From today on."
"my child..."
"You are the King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, the legitimate ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the Protector of the Realm, Viserys Targaryen III."
