Chapter 2305 Appointment with Glory (Part 1)

The way back to St. Lumote Church was still on foot. This time the priests took out a full set of ceremonial supplies and sandwiched the archbishop and the two of them. Along the way, you could smell the smell of burning frankincense.

The smell of the incense burner held by the one who opened the way.

There were many more people on both sides of the road than in the morning, and there were also many people standing in the square in front of the cathedral, including a phalanx of military bands, as well as a phalanx of nobles and officials who accompanied Napoleon to the Grand Councilor's Palace in the morning.

That was the last time that palace was used as a parliament. France recognized Brussels as the capital of Belgium. Belgium would become more progressive with the help of the France of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.

She couldn't understand how such a formal meeting could last so long. Could it be that there was another writer who wrote a long speech and read it for an hour?

When they entered the scene, the military band began to play, but it was not the French national anthem, but "The Gathering of Drums."

After the military music was played, the team continued to move forward. After entering the church, she found that the benches inside the church were full of people. As soon as they appeared at the door, they all stood up, and the aisles between the seats were paved.

red carpet.

At this time, she was very afraid that there would be flower girls or something, maybe the royal wedding would be like this. The archbishop took the holy water handed over by the priest, and walked forward slowly while chanting. Other clergy stood on both sides of them, and followed.

Go forward step by step.

Originally, she wanted to shirk the fact that she didn't bring the sword so that she could avoid the canonization ceremony, but...

She looked at the people who were looking at her. Most of them had swords, some of them were very gorgeous, and they didn't have to worry about finding replacements.

When they were approaching the altar, a middle-aged man walked out from the side. He had a gold sword on his waist, but the most eye-catching thing was the necklace around his neck.

To be precise, it was the Knight of the Golden Fleece. Where did this man come from?

"That is the seventh Duke of Arenberg." Bonaparte took the time to explain to her.

"What?" she asked confused.

Then he continued to look ahead as if nothing had happened.

She quickly thought about who the Duke of Arenberg was, and after thinking for a long time, she remembered that it was the surname of Princess Sissi's father. At that time, she had eaten a piece of Princess Sissi and Franz "

Joseph's favorite chestnut cake.

Princess Sissi has a terrible mother-in-law. Legend has it that the main reason is because Princess Sissi's background is not noble enough. This is the real-life version of Cinderella, and Princess Sissi is not Cinderella.

"Your highness" is often heard in movies. This "highness" is divided into "royal" and "serene", etc. Princess Sissi belongs to "serene", which is a title for a monarch lower than a principality. Usually

Refers to His Royal Highness.

Georgiana found Chaptal in the crowd. He looked... expressionless.

Facts have proved that she misunderstood. Bonaparte did not support her as the Queen of Belgium, but found a prince, and he seemed to be related to Austria.

No one could explain to her what exactly happened. Anyway, after arriving at the altar, Duke Arenberg smiled at her and seemed very friendly.

Then they turned around, Bonaparte faced everyone coldly and proudly, and Georgiana felt very conscious that she took half a step back.

“Citizens,” he said in his booming voice, which hummed with the reverberation of the church. “Together we have experienced ups and downs, overcome many obstacles, and finally ushered in the hope of peace and justice.

In this ancient land, the Netherlands, based on justice and fairness, will become stronger. But we not only need to establish a complete legal system, but it is enough to govern the country according to law. If we want a better future, we must also take good care of those

Children who lost their happy childhood because of the war, mothers who shed tears, and Pao Ze who was unable to continue living due to war injuries. I feel extremely honored to witness the establishment of this knightly order with the purpose of doing charity and medical care. They will protect those in this land.

New flowers bloom in the land that has nurtured countless great men of art and science, creating a greater era."

"Yes, the majestic Napoleon." Others shouted together, and she trembled in fright.

Just now they used the word "majeste", which was for the king.

However, no one jumped out to teach the king a lesson at this time, and then at Bonaparte's signal, the Duke of Arenberg took out his sword and handed it to Georgiana with both hands.

Before she could react, someone had already brought out the knight's stool and placed it in front of her. It looked like they were serious about it.

She looked at Bonaparte, and he smiled at her like a bad boy who had succeeded in his prank.

"The First Consul helped me get the title back from my uncle." Duke Arenberg kindly explained, "You can understand it as the plot of Hamlet, except that there is no marriage to the king's widow and the prince's revenge process."

"What?"

"Let's get started." Bonaparte said impatiently, and then the deacon began to read the list in his hand.

The sword-conferring ceremony was actually very simple. She raised the back of the sword and touched it twice on the shoulder of the person being canonized. But she felt like she was dreaming... She was also dreaming.

The names on this banned list are not long, there are only 26 people, most of whom she does not know, except Aston Martin, who she knows.

She remembered that time she went to his office and there were many stockings hidden in the cabinet.

She always felt that what he wanted was not aristocratic status, but a lot of "respect".

But she didn't know if he would get what he wanted after joining this knighthood.

In short, when her sword touched his shoulder, he changed from a commoner to a "master knight" and could be hired like Don Quixote.

He stared at her for a long time, then he kissed the back of her hand and walked away backwards, allowing the next person to be sealed.

In fact, in the old days, many people bought aristocratic status by spending money, and Mr. Martin can do the same.

Moreover, the Templars and the Teutonic Knights were originally established for the purpose of helping. What would happen to this knightly order whose name she didn’t even know what it would become in the future?

The ceremony was over soon, but the bishop did not "bless" him. Bonaparte gave Archbishop Roquellore a meaningful look, then took the sword from her hand and handed it to Allenberg.

Duke, Duke put it back into its scabbard.

"Long live!"

This sound was like an order, and everyone shouted. She looked at the reporters outside with a melancholy expression, worried about what would happen if the people in Paris knew about it.

"I told you, just say yes." He said confidently, "Smile."

"Don't think this is the solution." She was shaking with anger. "Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"I just nominated a charity organization's 'Knight', what's the problem?" He deliberately pretended not to know.

"Can you at least tell me what happened?" she begged.

He ignored her.

"The first consul said that a ceremony must be held in the church today, either a sword ceremony or your wedding." The archbishop said at this time, "I think..."

"Why are you acting like this?" she said angrily without hearing what the archbishop said.

"How did you know I was messing around?" he said angrily, his eyes sparkling.

She shut up.

Then she stood there, accepting cheers with other "knights", and the military music outside also played, like a joyful celebration.
