Chapter 34 Celebration, Ceremony
In the morning, bright sunshine spreads over the earth.
There were very few people walking on the streets of the entire royal capital. Even if some people appeared, they were all rushing in one direction.
"I slept too much this morning. Is there any start over there?"
"No, but it's faster. Run faster!"
"Wait for me!"
"It's all because you woke up so late. You couldn't grab any good seats. I don't know if you can see clearly what the second prince looks like."
At this time, on the other side of the royal capital.
Grand square.
This place occupies a very large area and can accommodate many, many people. Usually the king summons the people here to announce any important matters.
Looking at it, it can almost be described as a sea of people. If you look at the perspective of the dragon and bird knights in the sky at this time, the waves of people on the ground are as dense as ants!
Even on summer mornings, people didn't feel hot at all, and the whole square was full of conversations.
Some vendors carried a small wooden box on their chests and shouted while walking among the crowd.
On both sides of the square, there is a long row of white-armored knights, like silver walls, standing upright, holding spears in their hands, sternly watching the field, maintaining the existing discipline.
In the center of the square, there is a long corridor that connects to a castle at the end. The castle's high platform is exposed, with a throne on it. There is no one on the throne at this time.
"I wonder what the second prince looks like."
"I heard that he has a strong back and a strong waist, and is taller than ordinary people."
"I heard that he is as skinny as a stick. After all, he grew up in poverty since he was a child. I'm afraid he has a heavy back and a heavy waist without any nutrition."
"Hey, maybe he's just an ordinary person?"
People knew what day it was, and the tone of their discussions was full of curiosity and all kinds of fantasies about the new prince they had never met.
Buzz! ! !
At this moment, a buzz of bells came from the high platform, and the sound waves instantly reached the end of the grand square.
At this moment, everyone in the grand square, no matter what they were doing, all raised their heads and looked in the direction of the castle. The next second, a burst of warm cheers broke out.
"Your Majesty the Third!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Long live Demacia!"
On the observatory, Jarvan III made a grand appearance with a king's crown on his head, a golden robe, and a long ruby staff in his hand.
Behind him were several ministers, including Roy and Tiana.
Jarvan IV walked in the back left position.
Wait until Jiawen III sits on the throne.
Roy, wearing a gray and white robe, stepped forward solemnly and solemnly, and said: "In the year 661 of the Demacian calendar, the second son of His Majesty the Third was left among the people. In the current year of the Demacian calendar of 679, the second prince returned. We hereby summon the people to make a solemn announcement and celebrate it with joy.”
His voice was not high, but it could reach the sky above the entire Dawn Castle through the golden microphones on both sides.
When the voice fell, a soaring cannon boom bloomed under the bright light, followed by solemn drums, and then grand accompaniment.
The atmosphere in the entire square suddenly became extremely festive, as lively as a ceremony.
"Look!"
I don’t know who saw it first.
People's eyes invariably gathered at the beginning of the corridor, where a figure slowly climbed up the steps.
Wearing a gold and silver shawl coat, and a white costume, he looks dignified, and the chest is marked with the light shield clan emblem.
Looking further up, there is a delicate face with clear outlines and sharp eyebrows, which makes a deep impression on people at just one glance.
His body was not exactly tall, but he was definitely not short or thin. He had a perfect figure and walked slowly along the corridor, making him look extraordinary.
This is the rumored second prince.
Neither ordinary nor ordinary.
At this moment, Lu Qi had been mentally prepared for a long time, but walking on this corridor and watching the dense crowd spreading into the distance, he still couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure rising in his heart.
There were so many people, more people than he had ever seen in his life.
The entire king didn't know how many people had come, and almost all eyes were focused on him at this moment. If he made a fool of himself at this moment, he might not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
So he took every step carefully, and there was so much noise in his ears that he couldn't even hear clearly what people were saying.
The long corridor that usually takes a few minutes to complete now took half an hour.
This was specially stated by Xin Zhao. He needed to let the people remember his appearance.
Finally, he entered the castle.
At this time, someone was already waiting for him here, a tall figure.
"Brother."
Lu Qi opened his mouth and shouted.
Jarvan IV walked forward with a smile, reached out and patted Lu Qi's shoulders gently, and asked, "Are you nervous?"
"Kind of."
Lu Qi said honestly.
"It will be much better in the future. You are more stressed than me now." Jarvan IV led Lu Qi forward and said with a smile, "When I was led down this corridor by my father for the first time. , I was only four years old and didn’t understand anything yet. I was so sleepy early in the morning that I was forced to go on stage. When I realized what I was doing later, I was already used to it.”
He joked that he went out of his way to relieve Lu Qi's pressure.
Lu Qi couldn't help but laugh as he imagined that scene in his mind.
"You'll have to feel it again later, but it's nothing serious."
Jarvan IV said as the two of them reached the second floor.
From here, you can see the back of the throne and many people.
Standing inside were all the most noble people in Demacia. The moment Lu Qi walked in, all eyes were focused on him.
There are acquaintances and unfamiliar ones.
Mrs. Ogesha was among them, and she smiled at Lucci.
"Your Highness, please."
At this time, someone signaled that Lu Qi had no time to be dazed.
Lu Qi walked forward and came to the observation deck. He roughly understood the process here, so he took two steps forward.
He turned around, faced Jarvan III, came to the throne, and knelt down on one knee.
Jarvan III already had a white-gold crown in his hands. He stood up and gently placed it on Lu Qi's head, his eyes full of love and gentleness.
Then, he sat down again, while Lu Qi stood up and faced outside.
There were still dense crowds of people, covering the entire grand square. The scene was very lively and full of people.
Roy also spoke up at the right time: "Lucci Lightshield IV, with the orthodox royal bloodline, was crowned the prince in the year 679 of the Demacia calendar, so we should celebrate!"
As he finished speaking, a burst of warm cheers burst into the sky in the square below the observation deck!
Lu Qi stood on the observation deck and looked down. He saw the golden sunlight shining on everyone's face, and his body seemed to be imprinted on those people's pupils.
Those faces were full of smiles, and countless people sincerely celebrated the return of Demacia's second prince.
At this moment, there was an unknown emotion in his heart, which was invisibly amplified and then amplified.
