Chapter 599: Her Majesty the Queen
Fis Palace,
As King Morton finished speaking, Taya stood before the aged old king, slightly lowering her head.
At this moment, the witness from the Dawn Church also approached the old king.
Dawn Church Bishop, [Holy Light] Morris!
At this moment, Morris no longer appeared as the ordinary old man he once was; he seemed to transcend the mortal world, becoming a true saint. His presence made everything around appear insignificant, yet irresistibly drew people near, seeking solace and guidance from the God of Dawn.
He wore a flawless white robe, with delicate patterns glimmering softly in the light, akin to dewdrops sliding off a leaf at dawn. In his hand was a golden Holy Scripture, the cover inlaid with intricate and beautiful patterns, each stroke seeming to embody the warm glow of dawn.
Golden light faintly emerged from the Holy Scripture, complementing the hazy holy light surrounding the bishop, casting a divine hue over the entire palace.
Under the illumination of the holy light, Morris appeared particularly serene and profound, his gaze revealing a transcendent sanctity. Each movement seemed to follow a special rhythm, exuding an indescribable dignity and grandeur.
The nobles in the palace were unsurprised by Morris' appearance.
Though most nobles had never seen this legendary priest of the Dawn Church before, they had long heard of the name [Holy Light].
As the Dawn Church's firmest supporter in the Feis Kingdom, it was unlikely for any divine officer other than this one to witness the new king's coronation ceremony.
Observing him, many nobles couldn't help but feel awe, strengthening their faith in the God of Dawn.
Few present remained unaffected by Morris' holy light, but Ris, standing very close, was entirely unaffected.
Ris looked at Morris, who radiated a sacred brilliance, not expecting to see this legendary priest again so soon.
Even though Ris had acquired the legacy of the Neserel Magic Empire, he was reluctant to become an enemy of the Church of the Gods.
On the contrary, he maintained a good relationship with the Church of the Gods.
Making as many friends as possible seemed the best approach until Ris had the power to control everything.
Subsequently, under the solemn witness of Morris, the Dawn Church Bishop, Taya stood before the throne. Unlike a typical coronation ceremony, she didn't wait for King Morton to crown her. Instead, she reached out with delicate fingers and gently took the heavy crown and scepter from King Morton's hands.
Facing this unconventional action, King Morton exhibited no displeasure but instead smiled, patting Taya's hand, filled with emotion.
Bishop Morris kept a steady expression, holding the Holy Scripture and softly chanting an ancient hymn, enveloping the moment in divine and mysterious light.
The crown was as dazzling as the stars, the scepter as resilient as a dragon bone.
In Taya's hands, they seemed to come to life, resonating with her heartbeat, shimmering with bright light.
Taya turned around, standing before the throne, looking down at the kingdom nobles, who were somewhat taken aback by her unconventional action. With poise, she gently donned the crown and held the gold-forged scepter.
In Ris' eyes, at that moment, the girl's brilliance and grace completely overshadowed the crown coveted by countless others.
In the grand and solemn palace, the coronation ceremony was nearing its end.
King Morton looked at the spirited young girl in front of him, his eyes full of comfort and expectation, as if he saw the kingdom's future hope.
With Avin's support, he slowly left the throne, stepping into the rear hall, leaving this realm to the new ruler of the Feis Kingdom.
As he left, Morris did not linger long. After signaling to Taya, he too vanished from the palace.
As the most important ally of the Feis Kingdom, Morris naturally knew that Taya had become a Legendary Warrior. In fact, he knew more, such as the special relationship between Taya and Ris.
This was one of the reasons he wanted to strengthen cooperation with Ris.
[Judgement Flame], Elf Kingdom, Feis Kingdom, and so on...
These powerful individuals and forces surrounded Ris, closely linked, greatly elevating his importance within the Dawn Church, especially in the tumultuous era of the Gaia World.
Morris felt he could already see a new shining star rising with unstoppable momentum, destined to appear before everyone in the Gaia World someday.
With the departure of the old King Morton and [Holy Light] Morris, the atmosphere in the entire palace gradually relaxed.
Everyone focused on Taya, the atmosphere turning somewhat strange. Everyone was waiting for the new queen of the Feis Kingdom to make her proclamation.
As the absolute ruler of the Feis Kingdom, Morton Fis led the Feis Kingdom to an exceedingly prosperous and thriving state, arguably the strongest Human Kingdom in the eastern part of the Fanor continent.
No one could oppose his decision regarding who would inherit the kingdom and become the new King of the Feis Kingdom.
But precisely due to the kingdom's strength, the power of the kingdom nobles was not to be underestimated. They could not unconditionally obey the orders of an incompetent leader.
Whether this young woman before them could ultimately bear the responsibility for the entire kingdom was something all the nobles in this hall were observing.
