Holy Calendar 1447, February 13, Falling Star City.

For the Falling Star Kingdom, which had been established for a thousand years, today was destined to be a day etched in history.

Before dawn, the Royal Knights, clad in armor and red cloaks, were fully armed and deployed, standing sword in hand on both sides of the main thoroughfare connecting the Red Palace to Falling Star Pier.

The public, having been informed through various channels, gathered on both sides of the streets, forming a sea of people, curious and eagerly waiting for the start of this magnificent ceremony that might occur only once in decades.

Outside Falling Star City, at the Romany Palace,

As the starting point of the coronation ceremony of every era of the Falling Star Kingdom, preparations had been made here half a month in advance.

In the luxurious palace, Charlotte, having risen early with the attendance of the maids, had already washed and dressed in a grand ceremonial gown.

The gown was specially designed and tailored for the coronation, featuring a golden velvet nobility bodice embroidered with the lilac motif symbolizing the Roman family and the eagle crest of the Castel family.

Over the bodice, there was a cloak of the same material lined with white mink fur, and around the white mink fur shawl, Charlotte wore a circle of red magic stones from Castel.

It had to be said that the right attire could greatly influence one's demeanor; dressed in the ceremonial gown, Charlotte seemed to have aged a few years, and with the high heels, she no longer looked like a "thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl" but rather like a "sixteen- or seventeen-year-old maiden."

Looking at her radiant reflection in the mirror, Charlotte was quite pleased.

Though she was already familiar with her outstanding appearance, at this moment, looking at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but repeatedly think, "She looks beautiful."

"Your Majesty, the fleet is ready, and the vassals are in place. According to the schedule of the ceremony, it is time for us to depart."

A respectful voice came from behind her; it was Marquis Howard, the Court Chief Steward in charge of coronation affairs.

He looked radiant and equally excited, obviously looking forward to Charlotte's coronation greatly.

Hearing his words, Charlotte nodded slightly:

"Then... let us depart."

Escorted by her personal maid and Personal Guard Knights, Charlotte exited the palace.

Outside the palace, the Great Nobles, direct vassals of the Kingdom, were already waiting, including Duke Gael, the Legendary Sword Saint, Duke Esiah who had abdicated the throne, and six other Landed Dukes, as well as more than ten Landed Counts.

They represented the core power of the Falling Star Kingdom's nobility, and were also leaders of various great noble factions.

It should be mentioned that one of the seven Landed Dukes, Duke Wester, was no longer present.

Although it had not been officially announced, as a traitor, the stripping of Duke Wester's title and the confiscation of his territories into the royal domain were already certain.

"Your Majesty..."

Upon seeing Charlotte, the grand nobles of Falling Star bowed deeply, lowering their proud heads in submission.

Charlotte nodded slightly.

She looked at the flagship, adorned with golden sails, of the Royal Navy stationed next to the pier and commanded:

"Board the ship!"

Amid a series of saluting magi-crystal cannons, Charlotte and the vassals of Falling Star boarded the Royal Navy's flagship, which, fully prepared, fired salutes and escorted the flagship towards Falling Star Port.

The ceremony... had officially begun.

The coronation of the Falling Star Kingdom mainly comprised two parts.

The first step was the Roman Cruise.

The new king would embark from the Romany Palace pier outside of Falling Star City, cruise along the coastline, and finally enter the inner harbor of Falling Star City.

This was a remembrance of Roman conquests. Since the pioneers of the Roman family crossed the Star Moon Strait and conquered the Falling Star Kingdom centuries ago, every new king of the Roman bloodline would begin their coronation with the "Roman Cruise."

It was a pride of the Roman lineage and a symbol of Roman royal authority, representing the supreme and legitimate rule of the Roman family over the Falling Star Kingdom.

Although Charlotte's surname was not Roman, being a direct descendant of the Roman line, it was only logical that she adhered to Roman legal principles and rituals.

Of course, the Roman Cruise was now a simplified version. Centuries ago, the cruise would have started from the Romany Duchy on the continent, retracing the path of Roman conquests, spending a full day and night on the ship.

The imposing fleet, escorting the flagship "Roman Conqueror," sailed towards Falling Star City. Charlotte stood at the bow of the flagship, gazing at the kingdom awaiting her rule.

The Royal fleet entered the inner river of Falling Star City, docking at the port, where on both sides, a thousand cannons fired simultaneously, and huge magic crystal cannons boomed continuously in the sky, bursting into dazzling magical fireworks.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands, Charlotte, dressed in her grand ceremonial gown, descended from the pier. The awaiting nobles of Falling Star all bowed to Charlotte:

"Your Majesty..."

These were nobles who did not qualify to accompany her but had the right to attend the coronation.

They were numerous, representing the middle layer of the Falling Star Kingdom's nobility, with the highest rank being Landed Count, and the lowest Baron, forming the main force of the noble class.

Their attires varied, and their ages differed. Scanning the crowd, they were packed densely, numbering in the thousands.

Besides the nobles, there were also some foreign envoys attending the ceremony. Due to the tight schedule of Charlotte's coronation, there were not many visiting envoys, mainly from the New Moon Kingdom, Northern Territory Grand Duchy, and Moon God Coast City State Alliance.
