Chapter 158 Coronation (4k)

"Teacher, are you sure about this name? It seems a bit strange."

Ansha blushed and lowered her head awkwardly.

This name of the king is not domineering, nor is it catchy, and it is even a bit weird.

Before this, many people thought that His Majesty Trajan would use Glory as his royal name, after all, Trajan was the beloved king of the Goddess of Glory.

This is also the taboo with the most bets in all major odds.

And now, they are probably going to pay a heavy price.

I hope that even the dealer won’t be directly wiped out by some big upset.

But Ansha liked it very much because she knew the meaning of this king's name.

Moen smiled and touched her head and said:
"This is my love for you, Ansha."

"I want everyone to know that Westeros will always be the sword and shield of Baratheon!"
-
When Morn decided on the king's name, all of Baratheon was in motion.

Various charters were proposed and revised in an orderly manner.

At the same time, many Baratheon citizens began to have sword and shield emblems carved on their houses.

They believed that this would gain the king's blessing and protection.

And because of the continuous wars, the land prices in the royal capital have been falling again and again, but now, with the establishment of the Sword and Shield King.

The land prices in the royal capital soared to unprecedented heights.

Even now, even an ordinary house with air leaks and water leakage in the lower city has such a high value that as long as the owner is willing to sell it, he can use the money to buy a guaranteed viscount title in any other empire.

But no one is so stupid yet.

This is the royal capital, the supreme place closest to the king and God.

It is the true kingdom of God on earth.

In other places, this is the ultimate aspiration of countless believers.

And they have lived here since they were born.

It’s like all the blessings from hundreds of lifetimes have been used up here.

After all, as long as this person has a normal IQ, he will know that under the rule of the Sword and Shield King, the people in the royal capital will not only have better and better lives.

They will also have supreme glory in the true sense.

In the theocratic world, the closer one is to God, the more voice and status one has.

This is beyond doubt in the past and in the future.

And in the Supervisory Commission.

Mr. Porter, who gritted his teeth and took out all his savings to buy a large number of high-quality shields, is distributing shields to his subordinates and colleagues for free.

Mr. Porter felt that this would make him more popular and avoid people always saying that his abilities did not match his status.

Honestly, if this continues, Mr Porter will want to go to the House of Representatives and ask to be removed from office.

He indeed felt that the identity of a golden eagle was not suitable for him.

I used to think this was my biggest dream.

But after actually achieving it, he found that he was really not cut out for it.

However, Mr. Porter still plans to try again. If it still doesn't work, he will ask for resignation.

Seeing the high-quality shields given for free by Porter Golden Eagle, every staff member and hunter in the Inspectorate grinned.

To be honest, Mr. Potter's savings couldn't buy him a very good shield.

However, he is now a golden eagle and is the object of flattery for many chambers of commerce.

What's more, it is said that Mr. Porter's connections are even more powerful than those of the emperor!

Therefore, when even a Silver Owl could hardly get any good shield, Mr. Porter himself did not realize that the shield he bought was a top-grade product that he could not afford with his savings.

And it is unlikely that Mr. Porter would resign.

His title was granted by the goddess herself, his golden eagle was conferred by the goddess herself, and his relationship is directly heard by the heaven.

The House and the Board of Supervisors would have to be crazy to let him go.

As for why we need a shield?
Please, Your Majesty is the King of Sword and Shield. As a subject of the King of Sword and Shield, Baratheon naturally has a special liking for Sword and Shield.

In a world where power is paramount, the Supreme Being is naturally the only benchmark for all trends.

Don't worry about the sword. In the world of martial arts, ordinary people often buy one or more good swords for self-defense.

Of course there are guns and even armor.

Shields are a bit scarce.

So when the name of the King of Sword and Shield was uttered, not only Baratheon started moving, but also the people around Baratheon started moving.

Everyone knows that selling shields to Baratheon is definitely a time to make a lot of money.

Hearing the commotion outside, a golden eagle finally opened the door to his office.

"What are you making so much noise for?"

He had been dealing with previous work, so he had no idea what had happened just now.

Looking at his colleagues and former superiors, Mr. Porter couldn't help but swallow his saliva and stepped forward to hand over a shield and said:

"Hello, Hard Golden Eagle, this is a gift for you. It's a very good shield, take it with you for self-defense!"

Looking at the shield handed over by Mr. Potter, Hard Golden Eagle suddenly became furious:

"My family is a family of knights with a history of three hundred years. Although I am not a knight to protect the courts of your majesties, I am also a knight!"

"A knight of House Harder!"

"And the Harde knights from the northern grasslands definitely don't use shields!"

"It has been like this for three hundred years!"

"You actually gave me a shield? Are you insulting my family tradition?!"

Mr. Potter was so frightened by these words that he began to stutter. Insulting the family tradition of a noble could easily lead to a duel to the death!

"I'm sorry, Hard Golden Eagle, I don't know any of this. I just want to give you some gifts."

Hader immediately raised his shield and was about to throw it to the ground:

"Take your shit, yeah."

As a golden eagle, and a real golden eagle at that, Had suddenly noticed that the faces of the people around him changed drastically.

And each of them had a shield in his hand.

He immediately realized something was wrong and asked with a changed expression:

"I was working diligently for the two kings just now, but something happened that I should know but didn't know?"

One of his Yellow-headed Eagles wiped his sweat hastily and said:
"My Lord, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's royal name has been decided!"

Hader's expression became uglier, and he carefully put down the shield in his hand:
"My merciful and great Emperor Trajan, what kind of honorifics did he set?"

"Sword, Sword and Shield King."

Hader took a deep breath, but immediately took the shield to his left hand without blushing or breathing heavily, and stretched out his hand to Potter and said:

"As the saying goes, a strong shield at your side protects yourself and others."

"Master Potter Harry, you have taught me a profound lesson. From now on, I will keep in mind your teachings and love, and learn how to use this shield to protect the capitals of your two majesties and their people!"

The crowd was relieved, because on this auspicious day they would send a golden eagle to the promised land as originally promised.

It's really a bit too wrong.

But Mr. Porter didn't react and said:
"So, what about your family tradition?"

The crowd gasped again. No, why are you bringing up something that is irrelevant?

But Hader was an experienced golden eagle after all. He laughed and put his arm around Potter's shoulders and said:
"That kind of outdated old stuff should be thrown away!"

"Now is a brand new era opened by the two majesties. The Hard family should also abandon the old traditions and follow the new chapter written by the two majesties."

Mr. Potter finally realized what was going on and nodded quickly:
"Yes, yes, you are absolutely right!" The crowd was happy again.
-
Late at night, a mysterious man knocked on the door of the Eastern Chamber of Commerce branch in Baratheon.

The receptionist silently led him to the deepest room, Room 666, and then left as silently as when he came.

In the room, Miss Benalana was already waiting there.

Seeing Morn taking off his hood, Benalana stretched out her hand and said with a smile:

"Thanks to your great blessing, I was able to destroy all the dealers from the other three chambers of commerce."

"I didn't expect that His Majesty the Sword and Shield King would be willing to tell you his preferred king's name in advance, but it's also the case that we can make this big money!"

Benalana chuckled and took out a black water-gold card and said:

"As we agreed beforehand, the profit will be split 70% to 30%. This is your 30%. It is an anonymous account recognized by all four chambers of commerce. You can withdraw the wealth you need from any chamber of commerce in any place."

Looking at the water and gold cards that were still flowing in his hand, Moon felt very happy.

The name "Sword and Shield King" was not thought up for such a small matter, but Moon was also happy to use this small matter to earn his own spare funds.

He was the king now, and the Baratheon wealth was indeed at his disposal.

However, there were always times when he couldn't show up as the Sword and Shield King.

So, this is very necessary.

The only pity is that, in terms of proportion distribution, Moon did not say anything about this obviously very young but extremely experienced young lady.

"So how many?"

Benalana sighed:
“So many that I was surprised.”

Beside her, the big golden retriever Bella also barked in agreement.

Moon said with increasing pleasure:
"So what do I want?"

Benalana took out a list from the small bag that Bella was carrying and handed it to Moen.

"That's all the information we found."

Moen took the list handed over by the other party and asked seriously while checking it:

"Who is the elf coming from?"

"Lord Trapolis Dusk, one of the Golden Flower Lords. Why do you ask this? The visitor list should be announced by the palace soon."

Moen said as he watched:
"It's just another way to try. Agrawen and Tristan are here too?!"

"Yes, it is Lords Agragwen and Tristan who are visiting on behalf of the Storm Goddess and the late King Lionheart."

Looking at the list in his hand, Moon really felt cold sweat running down his face.

He knew all the people who came to visit him on behalf of the gods and kings, and they also knew him.
I have to be more careful the day after tomorrow. Although I have Ansha to help me, I’ll be in trouble if they think my words and actions are very similar to someone else.

"Okay, I understand. I'll take my leave now."

Just as Moon was about to leave, he found that the big golden retriever Bella had run to his feet without him noticing.

It seemed to be sniffing its own scent, and when it noticed that Moon turned around, it also looked up at Moon.

Looking at the other's soft hair, Moon smiled and wanted to touch it.

I thought, maybe I can touch it this time?
But the big golden retriever Bella dodged as usual.

Benalana smiled and said:

"This child is only close to our family. He won't let outsiders touch him. In fact, my grandfather rarely touches him either."

Moon said indifferently:
"I see, this is a dog with a lot of personality."

"But this time it's you who is representing your Chamber of Commerce to meet the two emperors, right?"

"Yes, my grandfather asked me to represent the entire Chamber of Commerce."

Hearing this, Moon raised the corner of his mouth and said:

"Then you can take Bella with you then."

Benalana said curiously:

"Is this okay? That's in front of the two majesties."

"Of course, His Majesty Trajan also likes dogs. He has told me many times that his biggest regret is that he didn't have a dog of his dreams."

"His Majesty Trajan will be very happy to see Bella being such a well-behaved dog."

"really?"

Benalana still found it hard to believe. She didn't dare to listen to Moon on all matters concerning the emperor.

That concerns the future of their chamber of commerce.

Moon shrugged and said:
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the etiquette officer. Anyway, if you can't bring her to the emperor, just let Bella stay in the reception room."

You don’t want me to touch it, right? Just wait and see if I can touch it the day after tomorrow!

After leaving these words, Moen left.
-
When the time came to the coronation day on the third day.

The popes of all the major churches arrived here early, and the apostles from all the gods and kings were also present.

The envoys from various countries stood behind them, standing under the high platform in the audience hall with everyone else.

The old throne that had been smashed to pieces by Morn's horse's hoof had not been cleared away.

Instead, he was asked by Moon to stay where he was.

To symbolize the end of the old era.

Similarly, two new thrones were placed in front of this throne.

One is the throne, the other is the shrine.

And in front of the two thrones, the king's coronation ceremony was taking place under the attention of everyone.

In the past, it was the duty of the popes to crown new monarchs.

A crown that is not recognized by them will not be recognized by anyone else.

Because behind them are the gods and kings.

But now, all the popes stand humbly and fearfully on the stage.

Because the person on the stage is a new king, and the goddess is crowning the king.

Only the new king's goddess is qualified to crown the king at this moment.

For the rest of the people, even thinking about it is a great blasphemy.

Looking at the countless messengers watching the ceremony below, and the teacher kneeling on one knee in front of him.

Ansha suddenly felt an urge to freeze this moment forever.

But she immediately restrained herself.

She then picked up the crown she had made herself and hung it above Moon's head.

After taking a deep breath.

The crown fell and a new king was established.

"Thank you for being my king, Sensei."

The goddess's voice floated softly throughout the audience hall.

"And thank you for letting me be your sword and shield forever, my forever Ansha!"

In the very end, the king did not choose the title of goddess, but chose my Ansha.

The crowd did not applaud; mere mortals were not qualified to do so.

So they all knelt down together to worship the covenant between God and the King.

The coronation was over, but Moon knew it was just beginning.

　I still managed to write 8,000 words, which is 2,000 more than usual, so the extra chapter about guessing King Moen’s name is over.
