Game of Thrones: Dance of the Dragons
Chapter 63 The Coronation of Baylor
Time flies, and three months later.
The desolate and damp Dragonstone Island, under the supervision and management of the wise Queen Allison, has become well-organized, resembling the castle a crown prince should have.
Inside the room, at the urging of his sister Renella, Belle reluctantly got out of bed and changed into a brand new set of clothes.
"That black one is great; I think it makes me look very composed."
Renilla vetoed it immediately, "You have to wear this white one; it's Father's order."
"Besides, how old are you? What do you need to be so mature for?"
Today, Baelor will be officially appointed Prince of Dragonstone by the Archbishop of the Seven, becoming the officially appointed Crown Prince of House Targaryen.
To save face, we couldn't let those dukes laugh at us.
"Yes, yes, you're right."
Beller was no match for Renilla and had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.
"I must have owed you something in my past life," Renella complained, but she was very careful as she straightened Beller's clothes.
Although the two are still minors, their father Viserys had long ago said that Targaryens are of the same blood and fire, and cannot be separated from one another.
They were destined to burn together, and destined to become the next king and queen.
……
At the entrance, golden lion banners and green eagles rose one after another, officially marking the entrance of the Lannisters, representing the Dukes of Westminster, and the Arryn family of the Vale.
Subsequently, the Tully family of the Riverlands, led by their patriarch, slowly entered the main gate of Dragonstone.
Finally, there was Ryan Stark, Duke of the North, who wore an ice wolf banner and a heavy cotton coat.
The other dukes knew little about the North.
All that is known is that these Yankees often live in the freezing cold, and not only do they have to guard against the White Walkers they have heard about, but they also have to endure the suffering of food shortages in the North.
After all the dukes entered Dragonstone in order, the royal family members, who were already prepared, rode their dragons and made their orderly entrance.
"Roar—"
As the protagonist of today's event, the Glutton flew to the forefront of the dragons like a black meteor, taking on the role of leader.
Following behind were the scarlet Queen Melias and the slender bloodworm Coraksh.
Next up are the golden Syracuse and the silver-gray Sea Smoke.
Finally, it was the largest and strongest of them all, Vaghar, who finished them off.
Six dragons, each with a different form, displayed to all the dukes the Targaryen family, currently the most powerful and almost invincible family in Westeros.
"Dukes of all realms, welcome to the coronation of my eldest son, Baelor Targaryen, at Dragonstone!"
King Viserys opened his arms with pride and joy, not only for the strength of the Targaryen family, but also for the upcoming coronation of Baelor.
The Archbishop of the Seven Gods stood respectfully to the side, offering some polite words in response to Viserys.
The dukes from all realms looked up in unison, and upon seeing the giant dragon in the sky, they couldn't help but swallow hard.
They knew this was not just the king's boasting, but also a demonstration by the Targaryen family to not disrespect the royal family.
The dragons roared wildly in the sky and landed on the open ground all around.
The glutton is the fastest and closest to the coronation ceremony.
On the dragon's back, besides Beller himself, there is also Helena, who enjoys freedom by acting spoiled.
Syracuse and the sea smoke descended not far away.
Renilla and Lannino, dressed in black down jackets, adjusted their attire and slowly dismounted from the dragon's back.
Then, the elders of House Targaryen, Rhaenys and Damon, also dismounted from the dragon's back.
Lannar's dragon was the largest, so she became the last person to dismount.
The ceremony officially began only after everyone had gathered in the coronation hall.
Viserys patted Baelor on the shoulder with a smile in his eyes. Having a wise and brave heir not only enhanced his reputation but also symbolized the prosperity of the Targaryen family.
"My child, go to the center, go to the archbishop."
"Yes, Father."
Under the watchful eyes of the dukes and lords, Beller walked across the prepared red carpet, like a king's coronation, step by step, until he reached the archbishop.
Prime Minister Leonor, who had been preparing for some time, shouted, "The coronation ceremony officially begins!"
After speaking, Beller immediately knelt before the archbishop, who spoke in a solemn tone.
"A respectful invitation to King Viserys I of House Targaryen, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Firstborn Warden of the Realm!"
"Baelor Targaryen has officially succeeded as Prince of Dragonstone and Crown Prince of the Seven Kingdoms!"
The next moment, enthusiastic and cheering applause resounded throughout the entire coronation hall.
The royal family, led by Viserys, looked at Baelor with satisfaction and excitement.
The nobles, led by the dukes of various realms, had serious expressions, but their eyes held a hint of disbelief.
They assumed that the seven archbishops were merely witnesses, never expecting that he would personally help King Chu with his coronation.
You should know that this is a privilege reserved for kings.
What exactly did the Targaryen family, or rather, Prince Baelor, reach an agreement with the Seven Archbishops?
After the coronation, the prince slowly stood up and faced the dukes and lords from all the regions.
The Tully family, who had always been loyal to the royal family, knelt first. "I, the head of the Tully family and Duke of the Riverlands, on behalf of my family, my vassals and my lands, hereby swear an oath."
"I swear allegiance to Baelor Targaryen, the rightful heir to the Iron Throne, appointed by King Viserys Targaryen I."
"My swords, my army, and my wealth are all at his command."
"In times of peace, I will assist him in governing the kingdom; in times of war, I will go to the battlefield to defend against all traitors who would usurp his right of succession."
"I will keep my oath until death, and never betray it. May the seven gods bear witness!"
Following Tully's lead, the other dukes of the realms also knelt before Baelor, swearing allegiance to Prince Baelor Targaryen in the name of the Seven Gods, and with the authority of their families and territories.
Thus, with the royal family and the Archbishop of the Seven as witnesses, the coronation ceremony of Baelor Targaryen officially concluded.
Of course, the coronation banquet, which is widely recognized, is also indispensable at the end.
The royal family and dukes gathered together, not only engaging in friendly conversations but also pondering how to climb the social ladder.
Viseris naturally became the best point of attack.
"Your Majesty, my daughter is exactly the same age as the prince this year."
"Your Majesty, although my daughter is older than the prince, she is very caring and manages the family affairs very well..."
Not only Viserys, but also Renilla was being pursued relentlessly by nobles.
Especially Jason Lannister, the patriarch of House Lannister, practically had the words "My family owns a mine, I can build you a dragon's lair" written all over his face.
On the contrary, Balervan became the most idle person in the room, and he took the opportunity to find his uncle, Damon Targaryen, who was drinking alone and had just returned to the family.
"Uncle, why are you drinking alone here instead of going to find your dear wife?"
