Ratacia Palace, Aalto, the City of Psalm.
After hearing the news from Philibell, the new Grand Cardinal of the Diocese of Orvarit, Natasha said sadly, "I didn't expect that my grandfather and uncle would be summoned by the Lord one after another."
Although she knew that King Feltis was old and feeble and that Prince Patrick was weak and sick, and she was prepared for the bad news in the next few years, Natasha still could not control the grief in her heart no matter how mentally prepared she was. As she grew older, her family members who loved her selflessly passed away one after another. That was the most painful experience in life.
"Patrick still failed to inherit the throne …" The Grand Dukes Of Orvarit, who knew the royal family of Hoffenberg better than Natasha, sighed. However, he did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Natasha, who was wearing a white dress, and asked, "Do you want to go to Renstadt to inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Holm?"
Natasha thought of Hathaway and Lucien. She then looked at her father, who was obviously old. Looking at his purple hair, she shook her head firmly, "There are many other heirs in the Kingdom of Holm, but you only have me."
"I've been taught to shoulder the responsibility of the Violet family and the Duchy of Orvarit. How can I leave here?"
The Grand Dukes Of Orvarit patted Natasha's shoulder to comfort her. Looking at his daughter who was a bit taller than him, he smiled, "What if I say that I want you to go?"
What? Natasha was stunned.
Philibell, who had a beard, also said gently, "It's not like you can't come back. Although the Church doesn't allow the Kingdom of Holm and the Duchy of Orvarit to merge, you can still be the Duchy of Orvarit. So, you can stay in the Kingdom of Holm for one year and in the Duchy of Orvarit for another year. The transmission magic circle will be open to you. It's the Church's reward for you and your family's devotion for so many years."
In such a way, it would not only be easier to control Natasha, but it would also be easier to lead the nobles to get used to "autonomy" and instigate conflicts between the royal power and the ordinary nobles.
"Plus, my body is still very healthy. I can still be the Grand Duke for at least another twenty years." The Grand Dukes Of Orvarit said half-jokingly, "Your mother left her parents and brother and willfully married Orvarit. She couldn't help but blame herself for watching her father grow old and her brother get sick. Even when your grandmother passed away, she did not have the chance to see her for the last time. She felt that she owed the Hoffenberg family a lot. So, I hope that you can go to the Kingdom of Holm when it needs to be stabilized the most to make up for your mother's regret."
Natasha fell silent. Her hands were clenched into fists. Finally, she nodded slowly. "Okay."
Philibell said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Her Royal Highness, the Church knows that your type is different from that of ordinary girls, so they helped you to decline the requirement of marriage. However, you have to have a descendant. I believe that this is the hope of the Grand Duke and the nobles of the two kingdoms. When the time comes, you can consider letting an angel enter your body and give birth to a holy baby. This is the glory that only devout believers can have. "
Sardes blamed Lucien for what happened with Aalto, claiming that Lucien took advantage of Princess Natasha's desire to comfort the Grand Duke. Therefore, the Church knew that Natasha's sexual orientation had never changed, and the Grand Duke knew more or less later.
Natasha's thick eyelashes lowered to cover her emotions. She said in a low voice, "I'll try my best."
But in her heart, she was thinking, "Is Lucien telling the truth about asexuality?" Well, the one that I borrowed from him? "
Now that he had made up his mind, Lucien had already made all kinds of plans. In case Natasha could not bear the pressure and married a random noble in order to give birth to a descendant before he won her heart, he had been "educating" her about artificial insemination and test-tube babies.
After hearing Natasha's answer, Philibell said kindly, "I won't disturb Her Royal Highness. You can say goodbye to the Grand Duke. To ensure your safety and convenience, it's better to choose a small group of Knights to go with you. If they don't have many family members, they can also use the transmission circle together."
Because of their different roles, regular groups of Knights were made up of one hundred to five hundred knights of different levels, ten times the number of squires, and more soldiers. A medium-sized group of Knights was the group of Knights in a big noble family, which had about thirty knights, and the ratio of squires to soldiers was often very large. A small group of Knights was the group of guards for the crown prince and the heir of a duchy, which was made up of one Sky Knight, three Grand Knights, six Knights, one hundred squires, and five hundred soldiers. However, the small group of Knights that Philibell mentioned obviously only included regular knights and their families.
After that, he left. The Grand Duke smiled at Natasha and said, "Just now, I said that I can still be the Grand Duke for another twenty years, but you can't keep me waiting for too long. I hope that I can see my grandson as soon as possible and see the future of the Violet family."
"I'll try my best." Natasha thought to herself. Lucien, please don't make any mistakes with your "skills".
The Grand Duke looked at Natasha with a faint smile and said, "I hope that you can go to the Kingdom of Holm, not only to make up for your mother's regret, but also because he's there, so you don't have to be separated anymore. So, you have to hurry up about your grandson."
"Father, what are you talking about? Who is he? "Natasha pretended to be confused. Why would her father still misunderstand this?
The Grand Duke smiled and said, "Who else could it be? Lucien Evans, although you were pretending to be a couple a few years ago, my intuition tells me that you are not pretending now. I'm very happy, very happy. "
Father, you think too much … Natasha secretly complained, but she did not have the heart to ruin the good feeling of the Grand Duke, so she did not explain. In the meantime, she made up her mind to create a baby with Lucien's bloodline.
"Don't think that I don't know who you've been communicating with for more than an hour every day in the past few years. Who's the one who's been giggling while touching the communication earring? "The Grand Dukes Of Orvarit suddenly felt that his daughter was not as sensitive as she claimed to be.
Natasha laughed dryly, "We're good friends. I never meant to hide it from you, or you wouldn't know at all."
"Alright, alright, go and choose your small Knight Legion. Camille will go to Holm with you." The Grand Dukes Of Orvarit decided to remind Camille and ask her to find a chance to "remind" Natasha.
Natasha nodded. "Alright. I'll talk to you often after we reach Holm, father."
She began to plan in her heart. "Bring John's family there and give Lucien a surprise …"
… …
Inside the Radiance Church, the transmission magic circle was activated, and holy light was shining.
The transmission magic circle was used to provide reinforcements when the Congress of Magic attacked with full strength. It was of the largest type and could teleport fifty Knights at a time. Even with the wealth of the South Church, it could only be deployed in five places, namely the Holy City, Antiffler, Aalto, Renstadt and Heim, the capital of the northern province of the Holy Helvetic Empire.
In the ivory light, Natasha, Camille, the nine Knights and their wives, children and parents, more than forty people in total, appeared in the transmission magic circle. Chorre and the other ordinary people felt dizzy and nauseous.
Of the nine Knights, John, the level-three Knight, was the only one who brought his parents and brother with him. The other Knights thought that it was unnecessary to go through so much trouble since they would be able to return to Aalto in a year. So, they only brought their wives and children.
"John, why can't you leave your parents behind wherever you go? Haven't you grown up yet? " Another grand knight, Fenge, joked. He was John's friend, and he knew that John was gentle and firm. He was not a narrow-minded person, so he would not be angry with a few sarcastic remarks.
After passing the dizziness, John was busy taking care of Chorre, Alisa and Elwyn. Hearing that, he smiled and said, "It's a rare opportunity to visit a foreign country. I should bring my parents and brother to see the different sceneries. Also, didn't Her Royal Highness inform me that I must bring all my family?"
"No. You must've heard it wrong." Fenge looked at Natasha, who was sorting out her clothes, in confusion.
At this moment, the female officers from the Nekso Palace rose and fixed Natasha's hair, eyebrows and other parts. At the same time, they covered her with a cape that was embroidered with the emblem of the Hoffenberg family outside of her ivory armor. It was a purple-red emblem surrounded by cloud-like stripes, with a sacred crown at the center, and a golden staff and a blue longsword on the two sides of the crown.
"Your Highness, please lead the Knight Legion to the Nekso Palace and return to the Radiance Church on the marked route, where you will be crowned king." Rex, the president of the Parliament of Nobles, bowed respectfully.
Natasha said solemnly, "Please lead the way, Duke of Flenburg."
John and the other Knights hurried to settle their families. Guarding behind Natasha, they left the Radiance Church with her and came to the Nekso Palace in the district of nobles.
It was the middle of the night after the storm. It was wet and dark.
"Begin!" Rex, who was leading the way, waved his arm.
A Knight raised his horn and blew it hard.
Wu!
As the horn sounded, John and the other three knights rode out first. Then, the valiant Natasha got on her horse and followed behind them.
Wu!
The magic lamps in the villas were all turned on, and the street lamps were all lit up. They were welcoming the new king like stars in the sky.
"This is …" John and the rest of them had never seen such an inverted galaxy before. They were rather shocked.
Wu!
In the common houses on the two sides of the street, countless candles were lit. Pairs of eyes were worshipping their new liege from the windows and the gaps of the doors.
Natasha was suddenly nervous, because she had to accept the crown under the illumination of the holy light during the coronation ceremony. Could her faith pass the examination?
Thinking about that, she suddenly sensed something. Tilting her head, she saw a black-haired man standing behind a window. His handsome face and his iconic monocle were so familiar and friendly.
The moment she saw Lucien, she couldn't help but put on a smile and feel reassured. What was there to be scared of when she could even resist the pursuit of a legendary expert?
Was there no mercy, no loyalty, and no bravery in her heart?
Therefore, Natasha continued to hold her head high. Her stunning appearance and heroic demeanor left a deep impression on the nobles and citizens of the Kingdom of Holm.
Passing through the streets and alleys, Natasha and the guards of honor arrived at the Radiance Church. The first ray of light in the morning shone on her body.
Natasha got off the horse and stepped onto the stairs. She calmly walked into the hall under the salutes of the ordinary nobles on both sides. She walked to Sard and knelt on one knee in front of the Holy Cross.
After some questions and answers, she stood facing all the nobles. Her left hand was on the Cannon, and her right hand was raised.
"I, Natasha Orvarit, solemnly and devoutly declare before the Lord:
"I am a devout believer of the Saint Truth. I will strictly follow the Cannon and the Code of the Kingdom of Holm. I will defend them with my life. I am always ready to fight for the glory of the Lord and the interests of the Kingdom of Holm until I die!"
Sardes stood in front of Natasha with a Cannon in his hand. His body emitted a gentle holy light, checking her faith.
Natasha was calm and peaceful. In the holy light, she asked herself whether she had violated her oath as a Knight. When she got a negative answer, the holy light suddenly shone, as if an angel had arrived.
Sardes smiled kindly. "You are a devout and determined believer. You are a brave and tenacious Knight. You are qualified to be the king of the Kingdom of Holm."
As he said that, he picked up the golden crown on the red velvet table and put it on Natasha's head, who was slightly bowing her head.
"I declare that, with the grace of the Lord, Natasha Orvarit is the queen of the Kingdom of Holm and its territories, the protector of faith, the Count of Violet, the Lord of the Bilbis Islands, the Lord of Solaho and Baltimore, the Grand Duke of Emden, the Lord of the Sword of Truth, the Lord of the Most Glorious Judgment, and the Lord of the Most Ancient and Honorable Holy Cross Knights."
Natasha, wearing the crown that was inlaid with many gems, raised her head and symbolically took over the sacred and bright 'Sword of Truth'. With the help of divine power, she raised it high, making it emit sharp brilliance.
Duke Rex, Duke Solefen, Duke James, Duke Russell and the other nobles all kneeled on one knee.
"Your Majesty!"
