Bab 228: Coronation (3)

As the archbishop's proclamation echoed through the grand cathedral, a chorus of voices, led by the nobles and courtiers, reverberated in unison, filling the sacred space. "A new king has ascended! Hail to God and His Son!" The resounding chant carried with it a profound sense of devotion and reverence, affirming the divine nature of Conradin's rule and his legitimacy.

  It was a moment of profound significance, symbolizing not only the king's anointment and consecration but also the confirmation of his divine right to rule. As the crown settled upon his brow, Conradin could feel its weight, both physical and metaphorical, pressing upon him. It was a weight he had not been given but had taken from the cadavers of his enemies, a testament to his unyielding determination.
