Chapter 1783: Chapter 1015: Ariel Watson’s Coronation Ceremony_2 Chapter 1783: Chapter 1015: Ariel Watson’s Coronation Ceremony_2 According to the traditions of the coronation ceremonies of the former two queens, the ones qualified to hold up the hem of the queen’s robe are Her Majesty the Queen’s two closest female friends.

This signifies that Her Majesty the Queen possesses unbreakable friendships and absolute leadership among her friends.

Indeed, this was the case.

After a series of wars teetering on the brink of life and death, Ariel Watson and Jasper Richardson, along with Scarlett, had become confidantes who shared everything with one another.

Even though it was Leo Ray who had arranged this casually, even without his doing so, Jasper Richardson and Scarlett would have willingly set aside their dignity and pride to lift the hem of Ariel Watson’s robe.

For it was Ariel Watson’s resolve and courage as someone who led from the front that had already won the respect of the Half-Elf Ancestor and the Dragon Race Girl.

Watching Jasper Richardson and Scarlett’s graceful figures, the exclamations of surprise from all the guests in attendance grew louder.

To have two proud and exceptionally strong Tier 5 Powerhouse women willingly play a supporting role in such a vital public event was enough to prove the exceptional nature of Her Majesty the Queen.

After all, even Her Majesty Sofia, the Holy Maiden Queen, and Her Majesty Esther, the Rose Queen, did not have such lavish arrangements at their coronations!

And following behind Jasper Richardson and Scarlett were Scarlett, Sarah Shawn, Olivia, Lina, Joshua Bingaman, Orion Wolfe, Serena Clark, and Stella Clark – a total of eight Tier 4 female strong people who made a spectacular entrance as the queen’s guards, eliciting wave after wave of exclamations of surprise.

When Ariel Watson slowly approached Marquis of Rufford, the master of ceremonies, he first respectfully clasped his chest and bowed, then solemnly declared in a loud voice, “Welcome the Crown, the Holy Sword, and the Scepter!”

Once Marquis of Rufford finished speaking, the solemn and respectful sound of the horn rose again.

Three individuals then appeared from the main doors of the hall, each solemnly carrying a gem-studded Golden Crown, a vibrantly colorful Longsword, and a gleaming golden Scepter, side by side.

The slim figure in the middle, holding the Crown, was dressed in a white Knight’s outfit and looked striking — it was Linda, who had become the head of the Sanders Family.

To her sides, both dressed in Knight’s attire as well, were two Robust elders, Elder Isaac, the newly appointed head of the Lancaster Clan, and Elder Kelson, the head of the Yorkman Clan, who had taken over their respective family affairs.

The tradition of having three heads of the leading nobility present the Crown of the Monarch’s glory, the Heroic King’s Sword of bravery, and the King’s Scepter of power and dignity was an indispensable part of the Coronation Ceremony.

This symbolized the Three Great Aristocratic Families’ willingness to offer the supreme authority with their own hands and swear undying loyalty to the new King.

Once Linda and the other two aristocratic family heads stood behind Ariel Watson, Marquis Rufford took a deep breath and once again stood in front of Ariel Watson, his old eyes filled with solemnity.

“Respected Her Majesty Ariel Watson, before you are formally crowned as king, please forgive this old minister for representing all of Coldflame Kingdom’s citizens by asking you a few questions.”

Marquis Rufford once again respectfully clasped his chest and bowed to Ariel Watson and then stated with a stern face, “Are you willing to hold the Scepter, to rule over the entire Coldflame Kingdom, from the Unfallen Fortress in the north, Mountain Fortress in the east, Sunset Fortress in the west, to the Jade Forest Fort in the south?”

“I am willing.”

Ariel Watson’s pale face full of solemnity, her crisp and unwavering voice echoing forth.

“Are you willing to wear the Crown, with a heart of bravery and mercy, uphold the justice and peace of Coldflame Kingdom, to spread fairness and kindness throughout the world?”

Marquis Rufford’s stern face remained unyielding, speaking gravely.

“I am willing.”

Ariel Watson spoke each word with gravity, her voice resonating powerfully within the ears of everyone present in the hall.

“Are you willing to wield the Holy Sword, follow the precepts of His Majesty the Heroic King, willing to fight for every citizen of Coldflame, even at the cost of one’s own life?”

Marquis Rufford’s face grew even more solemn, continuing to speak with gravity.

“I am willing.”

Ariel Watson clenched her fist, her voice steadfast as iron.

“The King has taken the oath, the Coronation Ceremony officially begins!”

Marquis of Rufford first nodded deeply toward Ariel Watson, then with a face full of exaltation, he announced loudly, “Next, we invite our great Mr. Lane to crown Her Majesty the Queen!”

After Marquis of Rufford finished speaking, amid a wave of extremely warm applause, the eyes of everyone present immediately focused on Leo Ray in the front row.

Leo Ray then slowly rose to his feet, walking toward Ariel Watson with a solemn expression.

Regarding this most important part of the coronation, Leo Ray of course knew that it was his duty to complete it.

Based on the coronation traditions of the Coldflame Kingdom over generations, there were three possible candidates to crown the new monarch.

The first was the former king who had abdicated the throne, which was not an option because Ariel Watson’s father king had yet to recover and therefore could not crown her.

The second was an older generation Coldflame Prince or other royal family elders with high-standing authority and heavy influence. But since the old king was an only child and had reigned for a long time, the older generation of the Royal Family were no longer present, so naturally they could not crown Ariel Watson either.

The third was the current pillar of the Coldflame Kingdom, a heroic figure of extraordinary merit to the kingdom, which, of course, was none other than Leo Ray.

For this moment, Leo Ray had even specially changed into a set of dark blue noble attire with embroidered golden edges.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Leo Ray stepped forward to Ariel Watson, who was splendidly dressed, and she too bore a solemn demeanor, her starry eyes glittering with anticipation and excitement.

Breathing in the noble and elegant scent emanating from Ariel Watson, Leo Ray, in a trance, felt that this did not seem like the Queen’s coronation ceremony but rather like his own wedding ceremony with Ariel Watson.

With a wry smile in his heart, Leo Ray collected his thoughts, his face remaining extremely serious.

The guests below were also looking forward with anticipation, their undistracted gaze fixed upon this rare coronation ceremony.

For Mr. Lane, who had saved the Coldflame Kingdom and aided the Princess–no, Her Majesty the Queen–to seize the throne, to crown Her Majesty was indeed the most appropriate and unmistakable choice.

Leo Ray took the weighty golden crown from Linda’s hands, faced Ariel Watson once again, and she immediately obediently bowed her head, making it convenient for Leo Ray to place the crown.

“Ariel, I’ve fulfilled my promise, I’ve given you a grand coronation ceremony, and now I shall personally crown you King.”

As Leo Ray thought to himself, he raised his hands and set the crown firmly upon Ariel Watson’s head.

Then, one by one, Leo Ray passed the sacred sword and scepter into each of Ariel’s hands.

At that moment, with the crown upon her head, scepter in her left hand, and sacred sword in her right, Ariel Watson already resembled an arriving queen, adding further gravity and solemnity to her fair and delicate countenance.

This sight moved the Coldflame nobles below to tears, as tears of joy streamed down their faces.

After a series of dark moments filled with blood and smoke, the kingdom, shrouded in gloom, finally welcomed the dawn, a new king!

“My King returns to his rightful place!”

Accompanied by the equally emotional voice of Marquis of Rufford, Ariel Watson first nodded to Leo Ray and then slowly stepped up onto the high platform where the supreme throne awaited.

During her approach, Joshua Bingaman and Jasper Richardson also shed the excess flowing trains, returning Ariel Watson to a normal long dress.

In a short while, as Ariel Watson took her solemn seat on the throne, Marquis of Rufford’s excited voice rang out again.

“Ladies and gentlemen of honor present here today, overlooking each one of you is the 20th Monarch of the Coldflame Kingdom, Queen Ariel Watson. Her lineage is pure, her coronation ceremony in accordance with ancestral tradition, and her authority beyond question!”

“All Coldflame nobles and citizens present today shall submit at her feet, swear allegiance to her. Are you willing?”

“We are willing, may heaven bless Coldflame! May the heavens bless our king!”

Instantly, the entire hall erupted, and the loud and clear oath echoed throughout the Grand Hall.

Whether noble of Coldflame or diplomat and delegate alike, all knelt on one knee, bowing their heads to Ariel Watson, who sat high upon her throne.
