Chapter 473 The second coronation

The Three-Eyed Raven seemed to be in a hurry and wanted to see him, but Viserys was not in a hurry.

Then Benyan took out another branch and gave it to Viserys. When he came to the outside of the wall with the branch in hand, the Three-Eyed Raven would sense it.

In the year 293 of Aegon's calendar, in the spring after the cold winter, mankind finally ushered in a new dawn after a difficult and harsh winter.

The coronation of a new king requires a very complicated and cumbersome process. Although the Seven Kingdoms are not yet completely stable, rebels from all directions still claim that they will invade King's Landing to kill Viserys and his dragon.

But the people of King's Landing were not panicked, because for many older people in the capital, the Targaryen family as the royal family of the Seven Kingdoms has long been ingrained in people's hearts.

The rise and fall of dynasties in a country is ever-changing, but the Crowned Stag family has only been on the throne for about ten years, which is not enough to change people's deep-rooted ideas.

Therefore, many people in King's Landing believed that Viserys had his destiny, especially when they heard the story of the coronation of the Seven Gods and the Son of the Sun, they became even more convinced that it was a usurper who betrayed his king, took the throne unfairly, and encountered the Seven Gods.

Or the Red God's punishment, sending the White Walkers to destroy the false king.

The emergence of the White Walkers broke through the Red God's infiltration barrier to Westeros. The war was the biggest change. Melisandre's preaching quickly spread throughout Westeros through hundreds of thousands of northern refugees.

north and south of the Yangtze River.

With Viserys repelling the White Walkers and saving the world, coupled with the Red God Religion's previous propaganda for Viserys, claiming that the true king, the son of the sun, would surely dispel the darkness, and holding the Lightbringer, only Viserys could defeat the White Walkers.

Siris, etc., there are also many people who believe in the Red God Religion in King's Landing.

Viserys' coronation ceremony was not held in St. Baelor's Cathedral, but in the throne room of the Red Keep.

The square below the Red Keep was opened to the public that day. When the entrance was opened, a large number of people from King's Land poured in instantly, which made the Unsullied very nervous and strictly controlled the order in the square.

The throne room in the Red Castle is very gorgeously decorated. The keels that were once placed in the cellar were moved out and placed to the left and right of the Iron Throne.

Vhagar's ferocious and huge skull can be easily passed by even a horse, and she overlooks hundreds of well-dressed local nobles below.

In addition to the nobles who submitted to the Targaryen family near the king's territory, the nobles from the Riverlands have also arrived in King's Landing one after another in the past few days.

Next there are two more important ceremonies, one is the coronation, and the other is His Majesty the King's wedding.

The Tully family of Riverrun successfully landed ashore and escaped disaster. Lord Edmure Tully stood among the nobles of the Riverlands and disappeared among the crowd, losing all the stars that he used to do.

However, although the family was deprived of the title of Governor of Three Rivers and the title of Duke of Riverrun, their lives were left behind after all. As long as people are alive, Edmure's act of dedicating the city saved the lives of the entire family.

If he followed his father's stubborn temper and really had a head-on confrontation with the Targaryens, he had no doubt that His Majesty the King would really burn Riverrun to the ground and cut off the bloodline of the Tully family.

"Thank the gods."

Edmure looked at the silver-haired young man sitting on the Iron Throne, his expression slightly dazed.

He didn't know if he should be grateful to Earl Bracken for killing his father and indirectly saving the Tully family.

Next to the Iron Throne, the fat Archbishop walked over holding a crown inlaid with red gems, while Melisandre, the priestess of the Red God, stood in the corridor on the second floor of the throne room and watched quietly.

.

This crown was reforged from a Valyrian steel dagger by Master Tob Mortho of Pentos, and the red gem on the crown was donated by Melisandre.

.

She claimed that this was a gift from the Lord of Light to His Majesty, but no one knew where she found this magical gem.

Holding this ruby ​​in the palm of your hand, a natural warm current flows throughout your body, like a magical blessing, dispelling cold and disease.

Viserys nodded and accepted Melisandre's gift.

Originally, the coronation ceremony was supposed to be held in St. Belle's Cathedral, but His Majesty the King changed his mind and moved the ceremony to the throne room, allowing the Archbishop to walk out of St. Belle's Cathedral and come to the Iron Throne to crown him.

Some people suspect that the person who slandered His Majesty the King was Melisandre. This woman used her witchcraft or body to confuse His Majesty the King and make wrong decisions.

However, in fact, this was really an injustice to the Red Goddess Priestess. This matter had nothing to do with her and was entirely Viserys's own idea.

Religion and royal power are inherently conflicting powers, and it is difficult for them to complement each other, because the right to interpret doctrine lies in the church, which essentially means that the king is supreme or the gods are supreme.

When Viserys was in Essos, he divided the influence of the God Sticks by introducing multiple religions, so that there was no unified religion with a wide range of influence in the territory.

And now that he is going to ascend the Iron Throne, he must consider in advance some religious issues that are deeply rooted in Westeros.

The 'High Sparrow' who may appear in the future or will definitely come out of the crowd will definitely be killed by him if he finds it.

Of course, not all problems need to be solved with swords, that is the last resort.

At this stage, he still hopes to gradually reduce the influence of religion on the royal power through some gentle methods, like boiling frogs in warm water.

The atmosphere in the throne room was solemn, solemn, and sacred. The Archbishop recited the oath in a low voice, but Viserys sat on the Iron Throne and did not get up from the beginning to the end.

Then the long and complicated oath was finally recited, and the fat Archbishop held the crown made of Valyrian steel and placed it on Viserys' head.

Claim him as King of the Andals, Rhoynar and the First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Warden of the Realms, Prince of Andalos and Pentos, Lord of Dragons, Viserys I Targaryen.

Along with his dazzling resume, the titles on Viserys' head became longer and longer. Before the coronation ceremony, he cut out some titles that he did not need for the time being, such as the highly religious 'Son of the Sun' and 'Seven Gods'.

coronation'.

Even connections to previous dynasties and Targaryen kings.

The Targaryen family's rule over Westeros began with Aegon the Conqueror and ended with his father Aerys II. It lasted for 283 years and seventeen kings.

Subsequently, the kingdom under the rule of the Targaryen family was overthrown by the usurper, stealing ten years. The second prince, who fled to the Eastern Continent, worked hard to make a comeback, regained the Iron Throne and established a new country that included Andalus and Pentos.

Brand new from the inside out.

At one time, Viserys thought this was a useless coronation ceremony, but when it actually started, he was outspoken and well-prepared.

The handsome young king sat on the Iron Throne, and the window above the throne room let in the sunlight and shone on him. He was wearing fitted black trousers, an exquisite black velvet robe, and a metal dragon's head medal on his chest.

His long silver-gold hair was soft and slightly reflected light. When the heavy crown fell down, it pressed on his hair. A pair of clean and clear lavender eyes looked down at the ministers below.

Then he stood up, and all the bells in King's Landing rang in unison, and there was thunderous applause in the throne room.
