    Chapter 129 Queen Elizabeth

    I didn’t know until the next day that this day was the day when Uther received the anointing ceremony from the Lord God.This ceremony is very important, because it means that the Lord God’s Religion has officially recognized He’s divine right to kingship. It also means that the two major religions on the mainland, the Lord God’s Religion and the Holy Religion, have recognized that He is the supreme monarch and the will of God.

    The Lord God Sect has always been grand and has many rules. In order to perform the anointing ceremony, the king is required to fast for three days, burn incense and purify himself, and accept the blessings of the gods.In other words, Uther had been detained by these priests for the first three days, and then he had to get up early in the morning and endure a series of tedious preparations. It is said that the whole process even took more than 2 hours.And all of this must be completed before dawn, so that the king can be greeted by the priests chanting scriptures in front of the church when the sun rises.After that, there is a whole day of rituals, prayers, procedures, interviews…

    That’s why he couldn’t stay that night.Don’t say that he will start preparing for the anointing ceremony almost after midnight, just say that his three-day purification fast was broken because he came to see me.Of course, with Uther’s attitude towards religion, it’s hard to say whether he specifically chose the night before the Unction Ceremony to come see me in order to ridicule the church, and I gave him a solid blowjob, shattering the majesty of the Lord God’s religion to nothing.

    However, according to Goya, Uther was not only busy with government affairs during these days, but was also distracted by preparations for the Lord’s Day. He was so busy that he almost had no time to sleep.It’s a miracle that he can escape from the palace and come to me.

    I heard it, and my heart was sour and sweet.Although I dare not confirm the real purpose of Uther’s coming, there is always an indelible thought in my heart: He misses me too, so much that he would rather break his fast and sacrifice his only rest time to come to me, just to hold me in his arms.

    With this idea, I missed him like a flood and wanted to see him crazily.This longing gnawed at me for a few days, and another piece of news came, which poured cold water on my head.

    The Bartoli family from the south arrived at the royal capital with the empire’s queen-to-be.And the queen-to-be was directly invited by the king to move into the palace with her family and servants.Get familiar with the customs of the north and prepare for the spring wedding.

    Speaking of the Bartoli family, they are considered a legend in our old country, Sodom.The history of this family can even be traced back to before the founding of Sodoma. It has been ups and downs for hundreds of years, but it has always stood firm. Its fiefdom is so large and its troops are so powerful that it can almost rival the country.It is said that during the southern expedition, Ussen made a private deal with the Bartoli family, which saved several years of hard fighting.The Bartoli family’s “abandonment of the dark and the bright” made a significant contribution to the unification of the kingdom.After the establishment of the empire, the Bartoli family became one of the separatist princes (and the largest one). They were far away from the royal capital, the Emperor Tiangao, and their status was somewhat embarrassing.From this point of view, this big wedding has become a matter of course.

    Regarding this queen-to-be, I have heard a lot of gossip about her recently.Elizabeth Bartoli, the apple of Duke Bartoli’s eye, when she was 4 years old, Prince Sodom, my half-brother, was born. Their marriage was scheduled early due to politics, and the wedding would only be held when the prince turned 15 and came of age.And my brother-in-law perfectly inherited the family tradition. He became cruel and debauched at a young age, but ended up playing too much and played himself to death at the age of 14.The marriage of 18-year-old Elizabeth fell through.The next few years were at the height of the war, and her marriage had been put on hold. Now in the age of peace and prosperity, she is already 21 years old. In this era, she can be called an “old maid.”

    Of course, this is only in the eyes of others. I have lived through the modern era and know that women only begin to enter their most beautiful stage at the age of 21.And if Elizabeth is as chaste, kind, and as beautiful as an angel, as the rumors say, then she entering the palace and becoming Uther’s queen will really ignite a trace of jealousy in my heart.

    My curiosity about her did not last long. Soon, the palace held a grand welcome banquet for her, and I was also invited to the party.I held my breath, spent all my money, got fully armed, and entered the palace.

    As luck would have it, I met Elizabeth before the dinner.In the corridor of the palace, she and her maid stopped me and called out: “Your Excellency, Lady Troy.”

    When I turned around, I saw a dark-haired beauty with white skin and a graceful figure.Even if I don’t know who she is, the appearance of the female official behind her can give me the answer.Although her status is not as high as mine, after all, I have a title, and she is just the daughter of a duke.But at this time she was already the king’s fiancée, so I had to bow to her and call her: “Dear Madam.”

    The elegance and generosity in her manners are the result of centuries of aristocratic roots, and cannot be compared to a bastard like me who only takes on the name of a princess.She walked up to me, her skirt didn’t seem to waver as she walked, and she stretched out her hand to me.And I had no choice but to catch it, kiss it lightly, and then straighten up.

    “I’ve heard about your beauty for a long time, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that the rumors were untrue.” She’s voice was also elegant and demure, revealing the tenderness of a woman: “You are much more beautiful than the legend says. I am very happy to meet you.”

    I admit, before entering the palace today, I dressed up quite childishly, wanting to come in and compete with her.Although I am earth-shatteringly beautiful now, at this moment when I saw her, in front of her noble temperament, I felt that I was so small. I couldn’t raise my head and my voice had no confidence: “You are too kind…”

    “You and I are both from the south.” She smiled at me: “We have a lot in common, and I sincerely hope to become good friends with you.”

    This is an enigmatic statement. Does she know about my relationship with her fiancé?Or do you know?

    Beating the drum in my heart, I saluted her again and stepped aside to let her and the female officers pass by.

    Then at the dinner, I saw Uther wearing a perfectly tailored dress and a golden crown on his head, looking even more handsome and upright, holding Elizabeth’s hand and guiding her to sit down, sitting next to him in the position of the mistress of this palace and this kingdom.

    Elizabeth sat demurely, with a smile on her face. Her appearance, manners, and manners were all so perfect. It made me feel discouraged and completely ignored the Marquis who was sitting next to me and was always courting me.I had a ghost in my heart, feeling that today I was the laughing stock in everyone’s eyes. I turned my head dejectedly and saw Goya smiling at me with his brown eyes and calmly winking at me not far away.

    My heart was even more confused, as if my shameless secrets had been revealed to the world.I didn’t dare to look around anymore, I kept my head down and went through the dinner. The next step was the dance.
