The entire coronation ceremony was lengthy and complicated. Afterward, there was the King's oath-taking ceremony. A children's choir sang hymns, and everything proceeded in a slow and orderly manner.
The King walked to the altar. After completing his oath, he lifted his scepter and loudly promised to rule with a heart of kindness, protecting the nation and its citizens.
The gemstone ring on his thumb twinkled, and the diamond crown on his head was unparalleled in the world.
Apart from the diplomatic corps, everyone in attendance knelt on one knee, shouting praises to the King in a show of respect.
The representatives of the diplomatic corps removed their hats and bowed in respect.
This was an ordinary day in Percival, but also a day that would be recorded in history.
The clouds that had been gloomy all morning finally broke to reveal a ray of sunlight. The diamonds on the King's crown shone even more brilliantly in its light.
