Ra is supreme
Chapter 183 Enthronement Ceremony
The infantrymen formed neat square formations, wearing heavy armor and holding sharp spears, their shields flashing coldly in the sun. The cavalrymen rode on tall horses, their hooves stomping on the ground in unison, making a dull and powerful sound, and their red cloaks fluttering in the wind like burning flames.
Imperial priests, dressed in pure white robes and holding holy vessels, stood solemnly on both sides of the square, their faces solemn, their eyes revealing awe and piety towards the gods.
The crowds around the square surged like a tide, and people were looking forward to the arrival of the new emperor with excitement and reverence.
When Messalina and the others appeared in the square, deafening cheers rang out all around. It must be that the four major families have done a good job in recent days. There were two thrones placed above the square. This was specially prepared by Messalina. One belonged to her and the other was prepared for Long Siqi.
"Your Highness, please!" Messalina respectfully invited Long Siqi to go first, and at the same time arranged Chang Jiao and Venus in the VIP seats, and Medusa became the leader of the imperial priests.
Long Siqi was already familiar with such grand ceremonies. She walked lightly to the throne and sat down, looking indifferently at the densely packed crowd around her, wondering in her heart, how would the court delicacies of the Roman Empire taste?
Messalina's gaze often lingered on her, her eyes full of affection. She walked slowly to the throne, stood in front, and nodded slightly to Medusa not far away, indicating the start of the coronation ceremony.
Then, Medusa led the imperial priests to kick off the ceremony. She knelt respectfully under the throne and said devoutly:
"Great goddess! Thank you for saving Rome and the people. You are the savior of the world. As an imperial priest, I bow to you devoutly. I pray that you will grant peace and prosperity to the empire, so that the people can live and work in peace under your protection, free from war and disaster. May the light of your love spread to every corner of this land and stand firm in the long river of history. Please guide our emperor and grant her wise decisions so that the glory of the empire will be passed on forever. With the most sincere heart, I offer you this eternal prayer, praying that you will listen to our call and protect the Roman Empire forever. Amen!"
The other priests followed her and prayed in unison...
Long Siqi gave Medusa a relieved smile. She was happy that Medusa was on the right track.
After the priests finished praying, the imperial army's battle array performance began...
Long Siqi was not interested in any of these; she was longing for the delicious Roman food.
Venus, sitting in the VIP seat, kept her eyes on Long Siqi. As the Western goddess of love, she had developed a deep admiration for this unparalleled god of the universe. As a member of the same god clan, she had enough time and patience to wait.
Chang Jiao had no interest in the military performances of the mortal world. The army was always closely related to killing, which was what she least wanted to see.
"Your Highness, what is your impression of the Roman Empire?" Messalina asked softly.
"Very good." Long Siqi responded politely.
"So what's your impression of me?" Messalina smiled charmingly.
"...You should be a good monarch." She said perfunctorily.
"I will definitely be a good monarch, and I am willing to share the prosperity of Rome with you..."
There was an extremely ambiguous atmosphere in Messalina's fiery eyes.
Long Siqi avoided her gaze and politely refused: "Messalina, you don't have to be so polite. Protecting all living beings is the mission of the gods. It is not convenient for me to interfere with the development of human society."
"Your Highness, you can do whatever you want. As long as you are willing, everything here is yours, including me!" There was endless charm in her voice.
Long Siqi smiled faintly and said no more.
The coronation ceremony lasted for a long time, and Long Siqi watched it patiently to the end.
"Your Highness, please go to the banquet hall for dinner!"
"it is good!"
A group of important officials came forward and gathered around them. Messalina took Long Siqi's hand and walked towards the banquet hall...
Coming to the magnificent Imperial Banquet Hall, the palace has a towering dome, the walls are decorated with exquisite murals and sculptures, and countless candles illuminate the entire space as bright as day.
The table was already filled with all kinds of delicacies, with braised flamingo, vegetable stewed ostrich, and roasted whole lamb emitting tempting aromas, piles of fruits shining with bright colors, and Rome's most prestigious wine flowing in exquisite wine glasses with amber light. Servants shuttled in and out, constantly presenting various delicacies and fine wines.
Messalina and Long Siqi sat at the imperial seats in the hall. The Roman delicacies on the table made Long Siqi happy. Many of the special dishes were indeed things she had never tasted before, and her nature as a foodie was revealed again.
The servants respectfully presented her with various delicacies, and Long Siqi accepted them all without any hesitation. She was always serious about food.
Messalina on the side seemed very happy. The way Long Siqi enjoyed the food was so pleasing to the eye. She came to her side with a glass of wine, leaned against her, and said coquettishly, "Your Highness, are you satisfied with the Roman food?"
Long Siqi nodded without hesitation and continued eating without raising her head.
"If you like, I will ask the court chef to prepare different Roman delicacies for you every day."
After that, she placed her hands on Long Siqi's legs, slid her fingertips back and forth, put her lips close to her ears, and said softly, "Do you think it's okay?"
Long Siqi immediately grabbed her wrist and said coldly: "In the hall, have a good meal!"
"Okay, Your Highness the Princess turns out to be a shy goddess." Messalina smiled coquettishly and withdrew her hand.
"I toast to you!" She raised her glass and took the initiative to toast.
Long Siqi responded politely, drank the wine in her glass, and continued to eat. Messalina entertained the noble ministers who came to congratulate her.
The wine of Rome was indeed as delicious as its reputation said. Long Siqi quickly drank up all the wine on the table, and the servants beside her kept serving her more wine.
"Your Highness the Princess has a huge capacity for drinking. Let me toast you again!" After entertaining the ministers, Messalina came to her again and toasted her with one cup after another. She didn't know that Long Siqi could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. For her, tasting delicious food was just a way to satisfy her appetite.
Long Siqi never refused anyone who came to toast her, and Venus on the right was also amazed. Chang Jiao had long been accustomed to her preferences and habits, but she was not very used to Roman cuisine.
"Fairy Chang Jiao, is it not to your taste?" Venus asked caringly.
"It's very good, and the taste is very unique." Chang Jiao responded politely.
Venus smiled and said, "I'll get you some delicacies from the Western Gods' Realm later."
"Thank you, Venus." Chang Jiao gave her a gentle smile.
"You are a fairy from the Eastern Divine Realm and the guardian of the Moon Palace. I am very happy to have the honor of meeting you."
"I am also delighted to meet you."
