Chapter 63: Coronation Ceremony (1)

“Damodeus failed.”

“… … .”

At the news of yet another failure, the face of the frantic Archduke Acrimosia was visibly crumpled.

“… … “What is the cause?”

“As you may have guessed, this is Zion Agnes. “It appears that they were unable to respond properly because they were hiding their identity and then suddenly revealed themselves.”

“Ha, you look like a dog.”

“With this, I think we’ll have to give up completely on the Suinhae side.”

There was a question in Anger’s eyes as he said that to Madang with a blunt face.

‘How can they know our plans or movements in advance and block them?’

It might have been considered a coincidence once or twice, but almost every plan in progress or about to proceed in the Empire was completely destroyed by Sion Agnes.

This is enough to make you doubt whether you know the future.

“I don’t think we should leave this like this, right? There are also rumors that a coronation ceremony is taking place. “I have to do something.”

“I agree with that.”

Anger, who had always acted cautiously and tried to stop Acrimosia, also nodded his head this time.

“And I think we need to talk about replenishing power again.”

“Oh, that… … .”

It was when the Archduke, who was frantic with words of anger, was about to open his mouth again.

“Mr. Acrimothia.”

One of Acrimosia’s subordinate demons cautiously entered where they were.

“what’s the matter?”

“The ‘First Heaven’ of those called the ‘Seven Heavens’ in the Empire has come here.”

“what? Why all of a sudden?”

The eyes of the two Grand Dukes were filled with doubt at the sudden news.

“He wants to see our king.”

Then, unexpected words flowed from the subordinate’s mouth.

green tea

It was a favorite food enjoyed by the beastmen of the Sea of ​​Water as much as the coffee consumed by people in Hubris, the capital of the empire.

‘I think it’s better than Fairy Forest’s mint tea. Of course, it’s not as good as coffee.’

Thinking like that, Shion put down a teacup filled with green tea made from the highest quality tea leaves on the table.

The place where Zion is now is the drawing room of King Myo Castle.

Among them, it was a place that only served the highest-level VIPs.

Sion was waiting for Walhaun here to say his final goodbyes before returning to the Empire.

“if… … “Are there no mints here?”

As if my tastes had been forcibly changed in the fairy forest, I heard Selphia’s voice asking for mint from next to me, but fortunately, no one answered.

at that time.

“I want to ask you one thing.”

Among the group of warriors waiting for Walhoun together, Claire turned her head towards Sion.

Perhaps she had completely adapted to the fact that Zion was an eternity, but there was no longer any trembling in her eyes.

“say.”

Claire, who looked slightly nervous at Shion’s words, quietly opened her mouth.

“Are we now able to stay by your side?”

In the past, at the border, Shion said to the group of warriors that she did not have enough strength to keep them by her side.

It seemed like he had kept those words deep in his heart.

At Claire’s question, the faces of the other warriors sitting next to her also showed signs of tension.

Because they also couldn’t guess what words would come out of Zion’s mouth.

“So be it.”

Shion answered, thinking that they looked like students waiting for evaluation after a presentation.

“ah!”

At those words, along with the exclamation that came out of Elesis’ mouth, the other people’s faces also brightened noticeably.

Even excluding his status as the next emperor of the empire, it was as if he had been recognized by the person closest to the strongest empire.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’

At their reaction, Shion smiled and tilted his teacup.

Although he had not yet grown enough to deal with the Archduke who had been upgraded by fate, he was very close to it, and there was no chance of getting any further out of the way.

So, it would be more efficient to keep it nearby and grow it yourself.

‘Anyway, everyone left only the last awakening.’

at that time.

“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”

With a calm voice, Walhaun entered the drawing room with his attendants.

“There was a lot more to do at the coronation ceremony than I thought.”

On top of her head was a small crown that had never been seen before.

It was a coffin symbolizing the Beast King.

“It suits you.”

Shion glanced at the coffin and opened his mouth to Walhaun, who was sitting across from him.

“All of this is thanks to you.”

She took off her mask and smiled softly at Shion in response.

Wolhaun’s eyes contained such infinite trust that other subordinates around him felt disappointed.

Did he at least feel something in Walhoun’s smile, looking only at Sion even though there were other people in the living room?

Selfia quietly whispered to Jang Mal-dong who was sitting next to her.

“It seems like His Highness Haun likes His Highness Sion, right?”

“Huh, I guess so. When I was growing up, there were a lot of people who followed me around saying they liked me. “When I see that image, it suddenly comes to mind.”

“Eh? Old man, Claire said that you have never been in a relationship until now?”

“Well, how did you… … !”

Lane naturally joins the two’s conversation.

Perhaps because they had a relationship before returning, she and the group of warriors got along well with Jang Mal-dong even though they met for the first time.

“Hmm, hm… … . “Then when are you returning to the Empire?”

Wolhaun cleared his throat as if he had heard their conversation and asked Shion.

“now. “That’s why I called you to say hello.”

“yes? Please wait a little longer and then leave. There are many spectacular places around Myowang Castle that you must see at least once in your life. Of course, the food also matches that. If it is okay with you, I will personally… … .”

Shion slightly shook his head as he looked at Wolhaun, who was giving various reasons to him.

“No, I have to go. “Because I can’t stay as the next emperor forever.”

“… … !”

The eyes of everyone who was listening, including Wolhaun, turned wide.

There was only one thing that Zion said right now.

“… … Are you really going to hold a coronation ceremony?”

The coronation ceremony of the Emperor of the Agnes Empire.

In some ways, the most important event in the entire empire, where the owner of the world is decided.

Shion tilted the teacup without answering that question, but Wolhaun nodded because it was as if he had already heard the answer.

“… … Then I can’t help it, I understand.”

The deep regret evident in her voice.

However, this time, Shion’s eyes were filled with doubt as Walhaun continued to speak.

“Then I’ll see you again soon.”

In the end, Shion did not understand the meaning of those words until he left the Sea of ​​Water.

* * *

After escaping the Sea of ​​Water and returning to the capital, Hubris, the first place Zion headed to was Chimseong Palace.

There was no special welcoming ceremony as he initially hid his identity and left secretly.

“master! “Are you coming now?”

“Welcome, Your Majesty!”

“Do you know how long this Fredo has been waiting!”

The mere sight of Liu Sina and a few of her close associates inside the palace welcoming her was already enough to make her head pound.

“I heard that you went to Suinhae alone during the civil war. Are you hurt anywhere?”

Leaving behind Fredo, who was still worried that he had already become so strong that he had no rival within the empire, Sion walked toward the study in the palace.

“Eh? “You came with red hair too?”

“Ha, witch. “Were you here too?”

“lane.”

“… … I know.”

I heard the voices of the group of warriors who had encountered Liu Sina from behind, but there seemed to be no need to pay any particular attention.

“Are you here, Your Highness?”

“It’s been a while since I saw you, Your Highness Zion.”

Was it something that had been planned in advance?

The heads of the two intelligence groups, Shadow of Eternity and Eye of the Moon, who arrived first, stood up and bowed deeply towards Zion.

After confirming that Sion, who nodded slightly, was sitting at the head table, the leaders sat down again.

Shion shifted his gaze towards Eileen.

‘In the meantime, it was said that he rose to the position of head of the Eye of the Moon.’

From branch manager to head in less than two years.

Even if he was the branch leader of Hubris, the special capital city among the branches, and had a connection with the former leader, it was absolutely impossible unless his abilities were extremely outstanding.

Of course, Shion knew that she would rise to the position of leader.

‘The timing has gotten faster, but everything else has gotten faster too.’

at that time.

“Your Highness, may I ask why you have called us alone?”

Thierry looked at Sion and asked a question.

Zion turned his head again and looked at him and Eileen for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth.

“I will soon hold a coronation ceremony and ascend to the throne. You already know that, right?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Preparing for the coronation ceremony.

Although it was officially a secret, it was already known to everyone here and most of the nobles in the capital.

There was no confusion as Zion was already being mentioned as the only candidate for emperor, but it was an undeniable fact that it was the hottest topic in the capital, along with preparations for war.

“Then do you know what I will do after that?”

“War… … is not it?”

Eileen opened her mouth with a stern expression.

In fact, ever since Zion declared preparations for a great war at a world conference held not long ago, the empire has continued to prepare for war without stopping even once.

At that time, the nobles who attended the world conference felt tremendous shock and a sense of crisis at the fact that such a huge number of monsters were hiding near them, and so they fully supported the preparations for war.

As a result, the empire’s war preparations were smoothly coming to an end.

but.

“no.”

Zion shook his head at Eileen’s words.

“There’s one thing I have to do before that.”

“What is that?”

“You know that in order to fight a war, the inside must first be solid, right?”

“That’s right. So, we are using a reconnaissance force to eradicate demons from the capital and throughout the empire, and it is now almost complete.”

“There is one thing you are overlooking.”

Shion, who smiled strangely at Thierry’s words, gently lifted the teacup in front of him and continued speaking.

“Is there really only one type of rat that gnaws at the inside?”

“That means… … .”

“The Agnes Empire is powerful enough to embrace the world and so appetizing. “It doesn’t make sense that the demons are the only ones eating away at such an empire.”

“Then the first thing to do after the coronation ceremony is to eliminate those rat bastards.”

Shion grinned as if that was the correct answer and held out a piece of paper towards them.

“I’ll give you a mission.”

A list filled with the names of nobles in the empire.

“Before the coronation ceremony, find out everything about the guys listed here. “Much more detail than I ever gave instructions before.”

Thierry, who was looking at Sion who was smiling while saying that, felt goosebumps growing all over his body without realizing it.

‘Those eyes.’

An ominous darkness flickers deep within those gray eyes.

Some people said that the ominousness and cruelty had subsided compared to before, but he could tell as he looked into Sion’s eyes now.

It’s not that it’s softened, it’s just waiting for the right time to reveal itself.

And Thierry could instinctively feel that that time would be right after the coronation ceremony.

“I understand, Your Highness.”

Thierry bows his head towards Sion with a strange smile, hiding his goosebumps.

He was very pleased to see his lord like this.

Every time I saw that figure, I felt as if Orrelion, the Eternal Emperor that has been written down in records, had materialized before my eyes.

“… … “I will follow your orders.”

Eileen, who stopped shaking a little later than Thierry, took the list and stood up.

After the heads of the two intelligence organizations left the study.

“Of course, this is the best coffee.”

Shion, who was left alone, muttered softly and tilted the coffee with Fredo in it.
