Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

Episode One Thousand Twenty-five: Enemy or Alliance (9)

October 1, 5002, continental calendar.

The crowning ceremony of the new king, Halberg Ray-Lucion, was held at the Royal Castle of Seilern, King of Lucion.

On that day, the sky of Seilern had a cloudless blue sky as if to celebrate the birth of a new king, and the mood of the participants gathered from all nations was pleasantly enveloped.

October. Summer had passed and it had been a long time since autumn had arrived, but Seilern, the king's capital, was engulfed with so much enthusiasm that he did not feel the cold on his skin.

Coronation.

It is a serious day when the ceremony of a new king being crowned will take place. Since the mourning of the earlier king Halwar Ray-Lucion, the voice of the people awaiting the birth of the new king was growing day by day, and it was so powerful that it was still about to burst to envelop the king's capital.

Do you feel that kind of enthusiasm on your skin because he is a Gandian and maybe nothing is the same as a Lucion?

(Sounds different)

Deion-Hawklow shook his head in his chest as he headed between Seilern Castle Jingtian, which became the crowning ceremony venue. Deion is not the only one on his way between the castle and Shizuten. A participant from Gandia walks solemnly before and after him. At the head of that group are his masters, Leongando Ray-Gandia. The lion king with the eyes of the ship was exactly as the king of the hundred beasts stood, and he could not help but feel majestic at every step of the way.

The heavy air feeling that was not found in the previous Leongands may also have to do with the fact that the princess was born and became a parent.

Leongand set up his first child with the queen Nage. The princess, named Leona, will now be living her days soundly under Queen Nage and Queen Gracia in Gandion, the king's capital. The child is inspiring. That was understood by Deion as a real feeling. It must have affected those things as well that Leongand's words and actions felt more forceful than ever.

The sight of his revealing crowning ceremony was floating behind Deion's brain as he gazed at Leongand's rear as he rode to the venue with Gisele Court following him one step back.

Less than a month after the national burial of the earlier king Siuscloud, it was not until February of five hundred and one that the mourning dawned that Leongand officially inherited the throne. As the son of Yingjie and the praised king, the heir to the throne was, at the time, scorned as a "eunuch” and often seen with negative eyes by the vast majority of Gandia's nobles and people, with few believing that Leongand's succession to the throne was the end of Gandia's history. On the day of the crowning ceremony, it was not enthusiasm or joy, even cold air, that engulfed the king's capital.

Deion joined as one of the generals, but he felt sorry for Leongand for the lack of space in the crowning ceremony.

Of course, not all nobles, military personnel and civilians had abandoned him, nor was there anything sincere to bless him like Gracia Rae-Gandia (then). Still, if we look at the current state of Ceylaan, we will see how the Gandian people at the time were pessimistically accepting Leongand's succession to the throne.

I mean, it's not a difference in nationality.

It is the difference between the situation in which Leongand and Hulberg are placed.

Hulberg was the first son of Hulwar, the wise king, and since his childhood he had been known as a prince of prodigy, excellence in martial arts, learning, and full of charm to attract one. It is also highly popular with the Lucion people, and in that sense it can be said that they have grown up in the opposite environment to Leongando.

Leongand, the first son of King Yingjie Siuscloud and soon after his birth, showed Yingjie's one scale as the son of Siuscloud, thus carrying expectations from the people all together and drawing attention to each and every one of them before he was mindful. It can be said that some twenty years ago, until the Sius Cloud fell ill, it continued to gather the expectations of the people. It was only a few years after Siuscloud's medical condition never showed signs of improvement and became worse, and Siuscloud dared Leongand to play "Siuscloud” in order to protect Gandhia from the existential crisis more than Mizuda could take command of Gandhia.

Everything was for Gandhia, but it was no surprise that Leongando seemed suddenly insane if he tried to make things unknown that Leongando was playing the dark, and that he despaired of his father's medical condition and lost his sanity.

Because Deion was one of them. Most importantly, in contact with Leongando, Deion discovered that he was playing "Uchi” and therefore pledged allegiance to Leongando and decided in his heart to become a shield for him.

From that time until now, everything Leongand said and done was for the country. I was only thinking and acting for Gandhia. but there was no way that those who did not know the truth could receive it that way, and it was only natural that Leongand's crowning ceremony took place in the cold air.

Leongand is glad to hear that. That was the measure for Gandhia to survive, so it is only by doing so that it can be said that it is as expected and that many years of measures have borne fruit.

But when he saw him sitting alone on the throne on the night of the crowning ceremony, Deion perceived Leongand's mood and was a tear in his heart.

In that regard, Halberg is happy. It has always enjoyed a certain support from the people. The succession to the throne is also endorsed and accepted with all hands raised. Compared to Leongand, I have to be stunned by the difference in its calories. Of course, Deion does not appreciate Hulberg, and I am also gravely aware that Gandhia has continued to win because of the cooperation between Hulberg and Lucion.

Besides, if Hulberg succeeds to the throne, relations with Gandia will be even more harmonious. Halberg admires Leongand like his brother, and his wife, or queen, is Leongand's sister and former princess Linonclair of Gandhia. Linonclair married Hulberg as a political marriage, but the rapprochement between Hulberg and Linonclair is something that we know perfectly well that we think of each other. The good-neighbourliness between the two has also become a strong bond linking Gandia and the people of Lucion.

And the relationship between Hulberg and Leongand is also good in itself, and the depth of that relationship, he said, is enough to envy Leongand's proximity as well.

Deion knows well too. Leongand and Hulberg have always been as close as their real brothers, and that didn't change where Leongand was playing "Uchi”. Hulberg would have seen the truth in “lying around," and Linonclair, too, which is probably why he was angry with Leongand.

Leongand stopped “lying" on the occasion of his succession to the throne. He abandoned the mask of darkness and began to walk his way as a young lion king. Then again, Gandhia won a series of wars and achieved such a rapid expansion of the national territory that it was inscribed in the history of the continent that Gandhia became no longer the largest country in the group of small nations.

Gandia with a sense of increasing national power as well as national territory and no enemies on the way, but we don't know if we can keep stacking victories like this.

Leongand has as its objective the reunification of the group of small continental states. Leongando's goal is also that of Gandhia, which is also a statement of intent that Gandhia will continue to fight until it unites the group of small nations. But it is also clear from Leongando's statement that nothing only continues the war of aggression indefinitely. Leongand's unification of the group of small States means to the extent that the group of small States will be brought together as one force, neither will it bring all the countries in the group of small States under control, nor will it make the group of small States itself a country called Gandhia. If it were any of them, they would have to be placed under control, swallowed up, even by allies and friendly countries, and could be turned against enemies.

Lucion can continue his alliance with Gandhia because Gandhia cares about his allies, and if even his allies' national territory had acted on the idea of making it Gandhian's, Lucion could have been so far as Gandhia was concerned, hostile.

No matter how strong the ties between the two countries are, they cannot be friendly, such as with countries with intent to invade.

In that sense, Lucion will continue to exist as an important ally of Gandhia, and it will provide us with the strength to fight.

That's good.

(The problem is…)

If there's a problem, it's inside Gandhia.

Deion frowned, finding the face of his predecessor, Sius Cloud, on the side of Gisele Court, who was talking to Leongand at all. He's a brother, so it's only natural to resemble him. And Giselcoat, King Yingjie's real brother, was, and still is, a key figure who reigned as the shadow king of Gandhia.

Deion is a relationship from when he reigned in the royal palace as king of shadows.

The crowning ceremony took place between Seilern Castle Jingtian.

The ritual of announcing and celebrating the birth of a new king involved not only participants from Gandia, but also so many dignitaries from neighbouring countries that they could not be counted.

From Berel, a Gandhian country, the king visited from scratch, and from Abad, the minister of foreign affairs showed himself in the absence of the king (who had not yet completed his throne succession). From the allies Gibelle, Serge Ray-Gibelle and General Hermaine-Sector, the king was also present from Azark, Meredo, Ishika, and the princess was also visible from Walal, who had been hostile to Lucion until this time.

Walal was on the run to repair his relationship with Lucion since the Battle of Halundor and also moving to form a friendship with Gandia. Nowadays, relations with Lucion have also improved considerably, so much so that it is unlikely that they have been hostile for centuries.

Also, Walal has lost his king in the Battle of Halundor and is in the midst of mourning, but he can't miss a place where dignitaries from this neighboring country gather, so he seems to have come out from the princess. It would be a decision that, in the future, it would be a little easier to enter into friendship if we went through the good with the nations that participated in King Lucion's crowning ceremony.

The princess of Walal is one who will eventually be king of Walal. A luscious beauty, she also turned to greet Leongand and Deion and other Gandhian humans.

The crowning ceremony progressed incoherently.

Halberg, who appeared in the venue to be led by knights in spectacular armor as the attendees watched, wore a streamlined costume. The armor wrapped around the place of the crowning ceremony can be described as proof that Lucion is a land of desolation. Wu is the symbol of Lucion, and it could be called Lucion's statement of intent to take the sword from the king Mizu and cut ahead.

Ahead of Halberg on her way, Serena Leia-Lución, the king's mother, who became known as the Queen, is waiting, and she holds the crown as precious. It is the ancient lesson of Lucion and the crowning ceremony of this country that the Empress will crown the new king. If the earlier king was alive, the predecessor was supposed to play the role of Empress, and if the predecessor, Empress, had not survived, it was that something else would assume that role.

During Shizuten, he said, it was made to perform some rituals in a particularly large room among the castles of Seilern. The wedding of Halberg and Linonclair was also held here, as was the funeral of Halwar, in this room. Both the joy of life and the sorrow of death all begin and end during this silent heaven.

Eventually, when Hulberg reached the Queen, he was in front of the Queen. The Empress stared at Hulberg with a loving eye and crushed something. Probably the word for the ritual of crowning, but I didn't hear anything from Deion's place.

Serena puts the crown over Halberg's head. The vibrant and majestic crown was well suited to armor with a golden glow and plenty of gold thread wrapped around it by Halberg. Armor, too, may be for the crowning ceremony and is only allowed to be worn by kings.

"I, Halberg Ray-Lucion, undertake to inherit the will of His late Majesty Halwar and bring great peace to this Lucion"

Wearing a crown on his head, Hulberg declared towards everything in the venue.

At the moment of the birth of the new king, the venue was wrapped in applause that was just unbroken.
