Way of Overlord Chapter 577: Rituals and Ceremonies

Chapter 577: Rituals and Ceremonies

“It seems you have made many moves”

Ayera listen to it and then simply reply

“I am a lonely woman in this boudoir, scared and insecure” she said all of this words without any trace of being scared or insecure

Only a fool would believe it

She does it because she is angry. She does it because she wanted to show him her worth

Aeryon listening to this could not help but laugh

“A horse, a bow and an arrow and you could ride through the plains. Who could stop you?”

Hearing this Ayera only snorted

“ten thousand horses , thousands of n, dozens of warriors would ride the world under your orders. Where does the four corners of the Steppe could I run when you give your decree?”

“on this four corner of the land from my palace, one word and you could turn it into a prison from Heaven”

Aeryon shakes his head

“You don’t believe that” Ayera did not say anything

“You are still alive today.” The aning of this word is evident

Ayera is still looking at Aeryon eyes. From the first mont that Aeryon enter this room, the atmosphere has been tense.

Any other won, if she had done the things that Ayera had done, unless you ca from a powerful tribe, she would have been beheaded and that was the lightest punishnt among the brutal punishnt that could be inflicted.

Not because she fights her husband.

Even if a woman fight her husband, in the Steppe this is not considered a sin or unvirtuous.

Because without a fight, how could you learn from one another and accommodate one another.

It is more poisonous to not speak things and let things fernt like so rotten fruits.

That would not be the reason she would be beheaded

The reason is because she fights her ruler.

Aeryon is not just her husband.

He is the Kan.

He is the chief. The ruler of this land, a noble of the Southern Great Steppe, and now an overlord that rules the area of the lower south

Each one of these title has powers.

If the matters had been widespread and known to all the warriors under Aeryon, even if Aeryon wanted to save her, his warriors would clamour for her death to set an example

The majesty of the ruler must not be touched.

This is not yet the era of personal freedom and it is not yet a ti where people could topple down kings easily.

If Aeryon was a normal man living in the Steppe, if he was a normal chief, a normal overlord, Ayera would have died

She would have died the first ti she tries to undermine him. She would die the mont she sent people to spy on him

Because a normal chief could not understand such a woman. But if Aeryon was a normal chief, he would not have beco who he is today.

Because a normal chief that experienced the sa thing that Aeryon experienced would rather try to go to Yan and establish a tribe there instead of trying to wrestle power back in the Great Steppe

Because a normal chief could not have the sa vision that Aeryon have about the strength of the Steppe and what it could ultimately achieve

Aeryon is not a normal chief and he could be tolerant of her machinations simply because…..she understood.

She is a woman far from ho, she is a woman that could not trust easily and she is a woman that have her own insecurities and fears

This kind of woman, once she is truly loyal to you…it would be like having a steadfast ally.

She is young but the world is harsh and it made her mature faster. In this era, it made everyone mature faster.

Young boys that should learn about life and knows joy and sorrow of the normal kind instead have to deal with the question of life and death

The woman is the sa.

There is pity and there is affection.

This is also one of the reason why Aeryon always hesitate to punish her and let her get away with many things

Speaking every day, and seeing each other every day, even a heart cold as ice would be thawed

Ayera also has affection in her heart for him. Probably even more than him. She is angry at him, but there is no deep hatred between them

She could understand the things he’s done with her head but that does not an her heart understand it

She is disappointed that he would protect Mayeux. But in this life, how could everything be satisfactory?

For a mont there is silence

Then Ayera sit in front of Aeryon. She no longer kneels. Instead, she looks at Aeryon, sitting cross legged in front of him

“Why are you here then?”

Aeryon look at Ayera and sighed

He did not want to say things that had already been said. Ayera lost the battle and she should stop any moves against Mayeux.

She had already lost and she must accept it

Aeryon patience is formidable. But that does not an that it is infinite. He does not have the patience to keep making her acknowledge that she lost.

So, Aeryon did not want to talk about it.

Aeryon knows that Ayera also had sent letters to Barbager, Ayera brother.

This Barbager could be used to do many things.

Though what plans Ayera wanted to do with Barbager, that is sothing Aeryon did not know.

The relationship between them was thawing but the matter of Mayeux cuit a rift between them.

So, Aeryon could only try to nd this rift

Aeryon look at Ayera and then he said

“Let’s make a deal.” Aeryon said and Ayera eyes sharpened

There is no smiles on her face and there is silence in the chamber. She closes her eyes and Aeryon waited

She sighed and then opening back her eyes she ask

“What are the terms?”

Aeryon smiles. This ans she has truly accepted that she had lost and she would gain things that could be gained instead of ruminating over her loss.

“truly an extraordinary woman” Aeryon mutters to himself.

Inside the chambers of the wife of the Kan, one man and one woman discuss the world and their discussion affects the world

…

No one knows what those two were talking about. No one knew what is happening in the inner palace of the Kan and if one is wise enough, it is not their place to know

Knowing things like what the rulers are doing is not always a good thing for so people. Knowing too much for the common people of this era is a quick way to die.

But no one is paying attention to the happenings of the inner palace right now.

Outside of the palace, the whole Southern Great Steppe is now paying attention to what will happen instead of what is happening

the attention off everyone from the common people to the rchants to the nobles and elders are all focused on the plains a few hours away from the city

This plain is unassuming.

There is no tall hills or any markers that made it special.

In so places in the Central Great Steppe, there are plains marked by large and giant stone Steele

So people carved words into this stone Steele to mark the plain there with so importance. Special plains denote sothing significant happened there

Sotis, it is a battle. Sotis, it is a place of sacred divinity in the ancient past. Sotis, it is a place that denotes so special historical significance.

But…this plain, this plain that everybody is gathering around….is none of that.

This area of the plain is neither sacred or special

But… from now on, as long as people rember what would happen here, this place would be a place that would be rember and would be sacred, important and have significant historical importance

Because this area would be the area where the coronation ritual for the Khan title to be held. Dama claim the title but Aeryon would formalize it.

Senses of ritual is important to bind the hearts

those who understand this would always do so kind of rituals.

Hence, the rulers in the past is very particular about this matter.

The more detailed, the more arduous, the more mystical it seems and the more it binds the people hearts.

The nobles would be connected, the common people would be in awe and the outside world would be assured.

The nobles because they know, the more the ritual is, the more secure the throne.

For the nobles that don’t want to fight for the world but wanted to enjoy the fruits of the world, they are more content if the order is secure and the throne is stable.

The people look at the rituals and beco at awe at the power of the rulers.

Even later, if one wanted to usurps the title, they have to also abide by this rituals and ceremony to be acknowledged.

Hence, why the more complicated, the more particular the rituals , the more advantageous it is for the ruling class
