This was handed to him by the Vladika, to whom it was brought from the National Treasury by a procession of the high officers.

A blessing of the new King and his Queen Teuta concluded the ceremony.

Rupert's first act on rising from his knees was to draw his handjar and salute his people.
After the ceremony in St.Sava, the procession was reformed, and took its way to the Castle of Vissarion, which is some distance off across a picturesque creek, bounded on either side by noble cliffs of vast height.
The King led the way, the Queen walking with him and holding his hand.

The Castle of Vissarion is of great antiquity, and picturesque beyond belief.
