Chapter 87.2: Coronation of the Queen
If that happened, the local nobles would sway to the Empires side and the queen would be only in name.
We thought, let them do as they please.
Then, you will recognize Princess Silhouette as the queen as the representative of the local nobles, wont you?
I am a member of the Burgund family, a chief vassal of Founding King Renz. I do not oppose the coronation of the princess as the queen. She is a legitimate descendant of Renz-sama.
He put so much emphasis on the word legitimate as sarcasm as he was thinking How can a half-elf be the queen?.
For a prestigious noble who values tradition and customs, he probably wants to spit the words he just said. For them, it was the downfall of the nation.
Unmoved by the hostile gaze of Marquis Pipin, Princess Silhouette stood before the panel of the kingdoms most important ministers. Her blue eyes are fixed on the table.
Perhaps she was trained by Prime Minister Nicola to behave like a queen. The negative princess has become a strong woman.
Prince Silhouette declared loudly in a voice that echoed in the large room, where even Marquis Pipin had fallen silent.
Everyone! This one is Silhouette Silesie Alber. This one is the daughter of Gauis Silesie Alber, the 17th king of the Kingdom of Silesie and the only heir. I hereby declare that I will be the 18th queen of the Kingdom of Silesie!
Although it was still, it was a brilliant declaration as a queen.
As I was thinking that this should be done in the throne room, Lyle-sensei handed me a gold crown decorated with jewels.
Eh? Me?
Takeru-dono, you are a hero. Only you have the right to crown the princess as the queen.
Im not even a citizen of the kingdom. Im an outsider. However, I have to show everyone that Im backing her.
Oh, sensei has taken the plunger. However, can we do that?
Its okay. There will never be a siege war since everything will end here.
If sensei says so, that should be the case.
Sensei is a great military strategist.
To be praised by the king of kings, Im very happy. Then, I will ask you to give the people a firm greeting.
Ah, yeah. Im going to make another speech like I did when I was recruiting for the volunteer army.
The existence of Princess Silhouette is not well known to the people while my name as the hero permeates to the people so this is something that cant be helped.
I pulled out Napoleons Words and Deeds from my repertoire in my head.
Since Silesie is a French-like kingdom, referring to Napoleons speech for the sudden coronation of the queen will receive the peoples approval.
Queen Silhouette stands before the people as she receives the royal scepter that symbolizes her royal authority.
The 40000 citizens of Silesie are already gathered in front of the balcony of the newly renovated royal castle.
Although her earlier greetings to the ministers went well, the little Queen Silhouette is like a pea in front of the 40000 people.
Although the people may not notice it, Silhouettes legs are trembling.
I quietly walked behind her and held her hand.
Citizens of the royal capital of Silesia. This one is Silhouette Silesie Albert, the sole heir of Gaius, the 17th king of the Kingdom of Silesie. Just now, this one was enthroned as the 18th queen of the Kingdom of Silesie.
