TNGF
SELECTED
Charles V of France
primary
A tall, slender man in his mid-twenties with sharp, intelligent features. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed, and his pale complexion contrasts with his deep-set, thoughtful eyes. His posture is erect, conveying regal dignity.
Archbishop of Reims
primary
An elderly man with a gaunt, ascetic face framed by thinning white hair. His deep-set eyes convey both wisdom and weariness, with a prominent nose and thin lips that often purse in contemplation. His hands are long-fingered and slightly trembling with age, yet they move with deliberate precision during the ceremony.
Queen Jeanne de Bourbon
secondary
A graceful woman in her late twenties, with a slender yet regal build. Her fair complexion is complemented by high cheekbones and delicate features. Her auburn hair is intricately braided and concealed beneath a jeweled veil, framing her serene face.
Nobleman
secondary
A high-ranking noble in his late 40s, with a lean but well-fed frame indicative of his status. His face is clean-shaven, with sharp cheekbones and a slightly aquiline nose. His dark brown hair is trimmed neatly at shoulder length, held back by a simple gold circlet.
Guard Captain
background
A middle-aged man with a muscular build, weathered face, and piercing blue eyes that scan the crowd with practiced vigilance. His dark brown hair is cropped short, and a thick beard frames his square jaw. A prominent scar runs from his left temple to cheekbone, a testament to past battles.
Dialog
Archbishop of Reims
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti... May the Lord grant you wisdom to rule His people with justice and mercy.
Charles V
By God's grace and the intercession of Saint Remi, I accept this sacred charge with humility.
Nobleman
Mark how the holy oil catches the light—like liquid gold upon his brow. A most fortuitous omen, would you not agree?
Archbishop of Reims
Receive this scepter as a sign of royal power, granted not by mortal hands but by divine providence.
Charles V
As David was chosen to shepherd Israel, so do I pledge my life to France's restoration.
Nobleman
How carefully he measures each word—like a merchant weighing silver. This wisdom may yet cost us dearly.
Archbishop of Reims
Let all present bear witness: Charles, fifth of that name, is by these sacred rites confirmed as rightful King of France.
