Chapter 13 Coronation

"Viserys."

"Kneel here."

Hearing his mother's request hastily, the silver-haired boy was slightly startled.

However, Maester Daniel and Director David Sand sitting by the throne were not surprised at all.

The news about King's Landing has gradually come. Just when Queen Layla and Viserys left Westeros to go to sea, King's Landing has officially fallen.

Duke Tywin led 12,000 soldiers to King's Landing under the banner of King Qin, but was turned away by Aerys II.

Among the former ministers, Shire University was sent to suppress the intelligence chief Varys, and persuaded the king to open the city gate to welcome the army from the west.

However, when the gates of King's Landing opened, Lannister's army entered the city, and the Duke of Casterly Rock, who had been loyal and surrendered before, suddenly turned his face and ordered the army to start sacking King's Landing in the name of Robert Baratheon.

The city, which had never been conquered from the outside, fell once again from the inside.

The life and death of His Majesty Aerys II, who is still in King's Landing, is unknown now, and there is no conclusive news, but it must have been more fortunate.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Queen Layla suddenly made such a decision now.

"Your Majesty the Queen."

At this moment, the old scholar who was sitting next to him suddenly spoke up, and then stood up tremblingly with his chair.

"If you want to crown His Highness, you need to follow the will of the Seven Gods."

The coronation of a new king is a major event, requiring a very cumbersome ceremony. First of all, there must be a decent cathedral. During the Targaryen Dynasty, most of the kings of the past were crowned in the Cathedral of Baelor.

There is a sanctuary on Dragonstone, where Aegon the Conqueror is said to have knelt down and prayed on the eve of his conquest of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

However, according to the records of House Targaryen, this is not credible, because Aegon suddenly converted to the Seven Gods after hitting the Old Town in the conquest of Westeros.

So this church should have been built after the conquest.

And the coronation of the new king is not enough for a church.

It is also necessary for the archbishop and several archbishops to jointly hold a coronation ceremony for the new king. At the coronation ceremony, the Holy Oil needs to be smeared, the archbishop recites the words of blessing, etc...

However, the barren Dragonstone now has nothing but a sanctuary, and even the monks and nuns are pitiful, not to mention the archbishop and the archbishop.

And Queen Layla was slightly dazed when she heard the words of Bachelor Daniel, then lowered her head and rubbed her eyebrows.

"Sorry, Maester Daniel."

"I have some gaffes."

Although the silver-haired woman was very strong, the pain of the country's destruction was still like ants gnawing at her flesh and blood, which made her a little confused.

She just wants to pass on the king and crown her own child, so that the flame of hope in her heart will not go out.

The Targaryen dynasty was not destroyed in the hands of her generation.

"If that's the case, then let's go to the sanctuary."

Then the old maid helped Queen Layla, and Ser Shad, who was sitting on the other side, also stood up with his sword and said.

"Then, Your Majesty, I will go to the monk."

"You don't have to go to those monks."

"Sir."

However, the butler's proposal was immediately rejected by the silver-haired woman.

Queen Layla stood in front of the seat in the center of the round table and looked at everyone present. The golden crown inlaid with rubies in the center shone dazzlingly under the torch.

Wei Wei took a deep breath to lift her spirits, and then said.

"These are extraordinary times."

"I'm here to crown Viserys, as long as the seven gods watch."

There are statues of the Seven Gods in the sanctuary of Dragonstone.

And Viserys was half-kneeling under the statue of the Seven Gods at the moment, and by his side stood his mother, Queen Layla Targaryen.

The queen, who had changed into a black velvet shirt, looked even more noble, with a slender and graceful figure, with long silver hair hanging down at her waist, one hand on the top of Viserys' head, and the other holding a The oath, which is now written by Bachelor Daniel, is recited in a low voice.

"This feeling."

Viserys was half-kneeling on the ground, and for some reason he always felt a little uncomfortable, as if he had taken off his clothes and was seen thoroughly.

In the spacious sanctuary, Queen Layla recited the oath for her son, while Maester Daniel and Sir Shad were witnessing all this from a long distance behind.

As for the focus in everyone's eyes, the silver-haired boy's body seemed to be twisting and twisting restlessly.

Then she was held down by Queen Layla's hand.

"Will you be kind?"

The mother's voice came from above.

However, Viserys felt that his breathing was a little short at this moment, and no one noticed that his face was turning red, as if the blood in his body was burning.

His mother's words were heard in his ears, but Viserys could only nod blankly and say, "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 sanctuary of Dragonstone, the old woman's pupils are pearls, the beard of the Father is gilded, and the Stranger looks more like an animal than a human.

The idols were carved from the masts of the ships that the ancestors of the Targaryen family took when they fled across the sea from Valyria. Over the centuries, they have been painted with layers of lacquer, gilded, hot-silvered, and inlaid with jewels.

There are also several altars in the sanctuary, with stained glass that reflects dazzlingly in the light of the torches.

"So hot."

Viserys felt a slight burning sensation when his palm pressed against the ground of the sanctuary, as if he was in a big melting pot, with flames everywhere burning everything.

"Do not"

"It's very hot."

However, everyone around didn't seem to feel this way, only Viserys was a little strange.

"what on earth is it?"

"Why do I feel this way under the gaze of the Seven Gods?"

Viserys was puzzled, but his temperature continued to rise.

He knew that the coronation ceremony at this moment was very important, and he tried to keep himself from being exposed.

However, his breathing became faster and faster with time, and Viserys seemed to be melted by the flames. His skin, muscles, blood, internal organs, and bones were all burned into carbon by the flames, and eventually turned into ashes.

And at this time.

Queen Layla's long oath was finally recited.

Then the silver-haired woman took off the golden crown inlaid with rubies from her head, and slowly buckled it on top of Viserys's head.

"From today."

"my child."

"You are the king of the Andals, the Royna, and the First Men, the rightful ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and the guardian of the realm, Viserys Targaryen III."
