Chapter 1023 Scenery

A full 4 maids circled Gale.

They were helping Gale put on the kind of big dress that would only be worn on important occasions.

This kind of formal dress cannot be put on by just one person. It must be supported by at least three people to put on this kind of formal dress.

Until now, Gale still feels like he is in a trance.

He couldn't remember how he agreed to Bancro and others.

He only remembered that when he came back to his senses, the maids had already started to help him put on the gown that would be needed for the regent's installation ceremony later.

——I actually agreed to my request to serve as regent...

Gale asked himself in his mind while looking at himself in the mirror in front of him.

——Why did I agree to come out and serve as regent...

——Do you want to support the building that is about to collapse and lead the country you love so much through this crisis of national subjugation...?

——Or... is it because of other reasons...

Just when Gale was deep in thought, a maid standing beside him suddenly interrupted Gale's thoughts.

"Your Highness, you have finished dressing."

Gale raised his head and looked at the mirror in front of him again.

The self in the mirror has already put on a gorgeous dress.

The long hem covers the entire foot and drags on the ground.

The sleeves on both hands are also extremely wide, and there is no problem at all when stuffing a pot into the cuffs.

This dress was designed with only one idea in mind, and that was to be as gorgeous as possible.

Therefore, the designer who designed this dress did not consider the comfort of this dress from the beginning.

Wearing this dress is more uncomfortable than wearing armor.

Although the armor is heavy, at least it won't make any part of your body uncomfortable when you wear it.

After all, an armor that can make the wearer feel very uncomfortable is just a big piece of scrap metal, and it is impossible for generals to use it.

"Yeah." Gale nodded gently, "Thank you for your hard work."

…

…

Gale walked towards the meeting hall with a leisurely pace.

The waiters followed closely behind Gale.

The Prince Regent's accession to the throne - such an event should have been held in the great hall of Baiyang Palace.

However, the current situation is special and there is no extra time to tidy up the auditorium and arrange a solemn enthronement ceremony. We can only make do with it in the conference hall.

Before arriving at the door of the conference hall, the two waiters following Gale hurried forward and pushed the door of the conference hall open.

Gale stepped on the big red carpet located in the middle of the chamber, dividing the chamber into two halves, and walked towards the nine steps at the northernmost end of the chamber.

The ministers in the center stood on both sides of the red carpet, stood up straight, and paid attention to Gale.

Originally, the military attachés headed by the knights should have stood on one side of the red carpet, and then the civil servants should have stood on the other side of the red carpet.

but,

Because Pendragon now had no knights except for those military staff officers who were not responsible for commanding the troops, so where the knights should have stood, there were also civil servants standing.

After all - if one side of the red carpet is full of people and the other side of the red carpet is empty, the sight is really ugly.

Gale slowly climbed up the 9 steps on the northernmost side of the chamber and walked to the throne located above the 9 steps.

Looking at the throne in front of him, Gale could not help but have a strange look in his eyes.

Even Gale himself didn't notice that when he looked at the throne, the look in his eyes changed slightly.

With his eyes back from the throne, Gale slowly turned around and faced the ministers below.

After Gale turned around, Bancro held a crown, took solemn steps, climbed the steps, and walked slowly towards Gale.

This is a crown that only the regent is qualified to wear.

In front of the ministers, receiving and wearing the crown - this is the enthronement ceremony of the regent.

The Britannian Empire has not had a regent for a long time, so most of the people present, including Gale, could not remember the last time this crown was used.

According to the practice of the Britannian Empire, the person responsible for presenting the crown should be the palace minister who is the head of the ministers.

Because Jacob, as the palace prime minister, followed Ilsa to the front line and his whereabouts were unknown at the same time, the task of delivering the crown could only be left to Bancro.

Holding the crown, which was a full circle smaller than the crown, Bancro slowly walked up to Gale.

After Bancro came to him holding the crown, Gale immediately bent down and lowered his body.

Gale lowered his body just enough for Bancroft to put on the crown.

Although due to special circumstances, the regent's enthronement ceremony could only be held briefly in the council chamber, the solemnity that it should have was still indispensable.

Bancro, who was holding the crown, slowly put down the crown in his hand with a serious look on his face.

The speed of placing the crown is very particular. Any faster or slower will destroy the solemn feeling of the whole thing.

Finally - the crown was firmly placed on Gale's head.

After putting the crown on Gale, Bancro took three steps back and then knelt on one knee on the ground.

After Bancro kneeled down, all the ministers at the foot of the steps immediately followed him and knelt on the ground.

Looking at the ministers who were all kneeling below, Gale suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

It is a kind of... strange pleasure.

Like now, standing on the high 9 steps, looking down at the kneeling ministers, it is not the first time.

When he was still the crown prince, Gale often came to this meeting hall with Gozewen to discuss matters with the ministers.

Gozewen sat on the throne, and Gale stood beside him.

Gale had long been accustomed to the scenery he saw from the 9 steps.

But——it was obviously a scenery he had long been accustomed to, but at this moment, it brought Gale a strange pleasure that he had never experienced before.

This kind of pleasure is a strong pleasure that cannot be compared with eating favorite food and playing favorite games.

It seems to be a kind of pleasure that comes from the depths of the soul.

——Is this... the feeling of ruling the world...

Gale said in his heart.

His hands, which were naturally hanging down, clenched unconsciously.

——Why do I have this strange feeling...?

Gale asked himself in his heart: Why did this strange pleasure keep coming out at this moment?

——Is it because I wore this uncomfortable dress?

——Or is it because...I wore this crown that symbolizes the regent...?

Gale did not come up with an answer that could convince himself.

While thinking about the answer to this question, Gale's eyes turned uncontrollably.

His eyes were cast towards the throne behind him.

This was the second time Gale could not help looking at the throne after entering the meeting room today.

It was also the second time that a strange look appeared in his eyes when he looked at the throne.
