Chapter 63: Coronation Ceremony (3)

Deungseong Palace (登星宮) is one of the many palaces in the imperial castle.

Unlike other palaces, Dengseong Palace was used for only one purpose and only once every few decades.

Nevertheless, there is a reason why Tengcheng Palace has continued to be maintained to this day and at the same time is called one of the most important places in the imperial city.

Dengcheng Palace was the place where the emperor’s coronation ceremony was held.

Even before the coronation ceremony began, a large number of people had gathered at Deungseong Palace, forming a crowd.

The capital’s nobles and congratulatory delegates gathered from all over the world.

And among them,

“There are so many people.”

There was also Olivia Bright, who headed to the City of Light with Zion in the past.

She waves her long platinum-colored hair around and watches people.

Since the saintess was decided as Elesis, there was no need to compete for sainthood, so Olivia returned to the capital and enjoyed the debauched life she wanted.

Normally, she would have been drinking alcohol in broad daylight without attending such an event, but Olivia attended because it was the coronation ceremony of Prince Zion, with whom she had a special connection.

‘I can’t believe I rode in the same train compartment as the next emperor and fought together with him. together… … .’

With that thought, Olivia’s gaze turned to the immediate blood relatives of the Agnes family sitting at the head table.

“This is my first time seeing so many members of the royal family attend a coronation ceremony.”

1st Prince Rubrios Agnes.

2nd Princess Eveline Agnes.

Even the 5th princess Deanna Agnes.

As many as three members of the royal family were waiting at the head table to see Prince Sion ascend to the throne.

Beyond seeing it for the first time, it is a sight that has never existed before in history.

“It’s definitely an amazing scene.”

At that time, an old raccoon prisoner came next to Olivia and opened his mouth.

It was Jangmal-dong who was with Zion in the Suinhae.

“Since the beginning of the Agnes Empire, almost no other members of the royal family have attended the emperor’s coronation ceremony. Before that, all of them were pushed out of the competition for the throne and either died or were in a state worse than dead.”

Someone next to me said, ‘Wow, it’s cute! ‘But who are you?’ Olivia asked, but she continued talking without answering.

“It’s not enough to subjugate your brothers and sisters who were competing with you without killing them, but getting them to celebrate so sincerely is almost impossible… … I can’t believe I did it. His Highness Zion certainly seems to be different from other emperors who have existed so far.”

“what… … “You are different.”

Olivia, who recalled the image of Zion she saw in the City of Light, agreed with Jang Mal-dong.

“Plus, even though the entire country is in chaos due to preparations for war, this many people are gathering… … “In fact, it seems like there are more people than at the world conference I attended a dozen years ago.”

As he said that, Jang Mal-dong’s eyes, looking at the crowd still flocking into Dengseong Palace, suddenly became bright.

“Huh, those people are coming… … .”

As befits his nomadic nickname, he had a record of traveling throughout the empire in the past.

Therefore, after entering the palace, Jang Mal-dong was able to immediately recognize the faces of the people greeting the royal family members at the head table.

Pope Simeon Zacharias of the Church of Light and Archendelt, who recently became mayor of the floating city of Adegripa.

The leaders of the two powers, who had not even appeared at the coronation ceremony of the previous emperor, Urdios, were appearing here.

A scene that clearly shows Prince Zion’s enormous influence.

‘This is what it’s like even before he ascends to the throne?’

However, as if that was not the end, the surprise of people, including Jang Mal-dong, began to be further amplified by the characters that appeared after that.

“haha! “I never thought such an auspicious day would come!”

Batar, the warchief of a large colony of giants.

“On a day like this, I should definitely attend.”

Halegrion, the leader of the Fairy Forest and the First Leaf.

and… … .

“Woo, beast king!”

Even Wolhaun was crowned as the new king of the Water Sea.

Until now, when previous emperors held coronation ceremonies, the Three Emperors sent enormous congratulatory envoys and mountains of wealth, but the leaders never showed up in person.

However, breaking that custom, the heads of the three generations all appeared today.

It’s something I couldn’t even imagine.

And among them, the fact that the king of Suinhae came in person surprised people more than anything else.

As Suinhae’s power was much stronger than that of other places, its arrogance was also high, and that is why it was only shown once during the previous emperor’s reign.

Of course, it was a different king than Walhaun at that time.

‘What kind of magic did you do?’

This was the common thought of the people gathered there as they looked at the leaders of the three generations.

When the interior of Deungseong Palace was filled with doubt and astonishment,

‘It went better.’

A secret smile appeared on the lips of Rupelt Akrein, who was watching the scene with his followers from one side.

The reason he thought this was simple.

The more people attend the coronation ceremony, the better.

The higher the status of those people, the higher it is.

The words Prince Sion will announce after the coronation ceremony will have even greater weight.

Of course, the content of the announcement had already been decided.

‘I hope the coronation ceremony is over soon.’

With that thought, Rupelt smiled even brighter.

“His Highness Zion is entering.”

With the words of the knights guarding the main gate,

Clap!

The palace began to become quiet enough to hear the sound of a single drop of water falling.

It was not because people silenced themselves.

Jerk.

The door opens and a man slowly appears beyond it.

Something overwhelming coming from the man was forcing them to close their mouths and focus their gaze.

Jerk, jerk.

Instead of the white robe emblazoned with stars symbolizing the Heavenly Sea that past emperors wore during their coronation ceremonies, the man was walking towards the central podium.

Could it be that darkness had descended in the meantime?

Even though everything around them was brightly lit, the sight of a man slowly walking across them made everyone in Tengcheng Palace feel as if they were facing a pitch-black night.

Unlike the drowsy eyes, the ominous feeling that emanates from each step causes shivers and tension to rise throughout the body.

Zion Agnes.

The hero of the coronation ceremony had finally appeared.

How long did such silence last?

“Okay, then let the coronation ceremony begin.”

A trembling voice came from the mouth of Soliman Valdemir, a nobleman specializing in rituals, who came to his senses only after Sion had fully climbed onto the stage.

Although Soliman had participated in events with Zion several times, a nervous look was still evident in his eyes.

“First of all, to Eternal Emperor Orrelion, who founded the Agnes Empire… … .”

The coronation ceremony that followed went smoothly.

Salutes and congratulations to previous emperors, and even other ceremonies.

And so the whole ritual ends.

Jerk.

Shion, who was looking at the podium, slowly turned around.

Shion silently looks at the people looking at her with various emotions for a moment.

Soon after,

“From now on, you are Agnes’ owner.”

From Zion’s mouth came a low, but clear voice that rang clearly in the ears of everyone present.

“I hereby declare that I have become Zion Agnes.”

Wow!

A shout that erupted as if they had been waiting with him!

The shout was so fierce that it spread beyond Tengseong Palace and throughout the entire imperial castle.

And at that moment,

Jerk, jerk.

Something that no one there expected began to happen.

The leaders of the three apocryphal worlds stand up from their seats and go up to the platform where Zion is located.

It was a moment of doubt in the eyes of the people who were shouting at the sudden action.

“Baatar, the great chieftain of a colony of giants and the head of the Blue Claws, pledges eternal loyalty to His Majesty Emperor Zion Agnes, the master of the world.”

Baatar knelt down on one knee toward Sion and opened his mouth.

Was that even the beginning?

“Halegrion, leader of the Fairy Forest and the First Leaf, pledges eternal loyalty to His Majesty Emperor Zion Agnes.”

Next, Hallegrion kneels next to him and opens his mouth in the same way.

And as if that wasn’t the end,

“Wolhaun, the king of the Water Sea, pledges allegiance to His Majesty, Emperor Zion Agnes.”

Finally, Walhoun knelt and bowed his head.

There wasn’t even an inch of hesitation in their eyes, as if they had planned to do this from the beginning.

“!!!!!!!”

At that sight, Tengseonggung was beyond shocked and began to be filled with shock.

Pledge of allegiance.

It was the highest oath of loyalty that any emperor had ever received since the Eternal Era.

The Apocrypha Dynasty was officially Agnes’ imperial territory, but over time it maintained the form of a semi-independent tributary state.

However, the leader of the three generations was once again offering a perfect oath of loyalty as in the Eternal Era.

It’s so incredible that you can’t believe it even when you see it with your own eyes.

However, Zion accepted the oath of loyalty of the three apocryphal generations with the same indifferent expression as usual.

As if all of this were natural.

After receiving their oath like that, Zion looked at the people again and slowly began to open his mouth.

“I have one thing to declare here.”

‘… … at las!’ At this, the eyes of the nobles, including Rupelt, began to fill with joy.

It was a tremendous advantage to have someone of their own as the first empress of such a powerful emperor.

but,

“Now the Agnes Empire is facing war.”

Zion’s next words were different from what they expected.

“It is a war so important that it decides the fate of the entire world.”

A great war in which humans and monsters risk everything they have.

Therefore, it was absolutely impossible to avoid or lose.

“Nevertheless, there are still rats remaining in the empire who are eating away at the country and causing it to rot and crumble for their own benefit. “That too, a lot.”

Did he at least feel something from Zion’s next words?

“W-what are you saying!”

As Rupelt heard those words, confusion began to appear in his eyes.

“In a way, they are rats of even worse quality than their enemies, the devil. “If we fight a war with them inside, we will most likely lose.”

So miserable!

As if they had been waiting in advance, starting with the Twilight Sword Order, the Ascalon family, Babel of Ozrima, and countless knights began to surround all of the aristocratic nobles who attended the coronation ceremony, including the head of the Akraine family.

“W-what are you doing now!”

“Why us!”

The nobles let out a cry full of embarrassment and anxiety.

“So I, Emperor of Agnes, Agnes of Zion, give the first command.”

As Shion looks at Rupelt and the nobles, a brighter and more sinister smile begins to appear on his lips.

Along with that, the endless darkness flickering in the slowly bending eyes of Zion.

“Including Akline who is here now.”

From the mouth of the emperor who smiled so cruelly,

“Erase all noble families that exist in the empire.”

An order that could never be disobeyed came out.
