I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 250
Chapter 63: Coronation Ceremony (4)
The brilliance is arcline.
Unlike the other five great families, the location of Akline was unique.
A small hill located in the center of the capital and around the imperial castle.
Akrain named one of those mountains Mount Radiant and established a family on it.
Therefore, the main gate of Gwanghwiga overlooks the entire capital except for the imperial castle.
There, the two knights guarding the gate were looking down with bored eyes at the road that stretched from the family home to the bottom of the mountain.
“After all, I work in the morning on a day like today… … .”
“That’s right. Should it have started by now?”
The hook-nosed knight responded to the words of the thick-browed knight next to him in a voice full of regret.
“I heard from someone I know that this coronation ceremony will be truly spectacular. “I heard that the crowds that have flocked to the capital a few days ago have already surpassed those of the founding festival?”
“It was said that just the congratulatory envoy from the three worlds alone amounted to one legion. Probably the best ever? Even though it was right before the war, it was like this… … “It was really unfortunate that I couldn’t see that spectacle.”
“I know yeah. But you know what? “It is said that starting from this coronation ceremony, the power of our Akline may become much stronger.”
“what? “What does that mean?”
Thick eyebrows ask with a puzzled look.
“I also heard only what my superiors said as they passed by, but it may have something to do with His Highness Zion, who was enthroned this time… … .”
The hooked nose’s reply did not last until the end.
No, it was correct to say that I couldn’t do it.
“Now, you… … In your body… … !”
A single solid red line was drawn from the top of his head to his crotch.
Wow!
Because his body was split in half along that solid line.
Then, upon seeing a human figure emerging from behind the torn corpse, the pupils of the thick eyebrows begin to dilate to the point where they can no longer grow.
“All of you!”
A red-eyed woman looking at him with an eerie smile.
The moment the thick eyebrows realized that the woman was the ‘Red Witch’, one of Prince Shion’s henchmen, they burst into laughter!
His head just disappeared.
The witch, who had taken care of the guards in an instant, looked at the main gate of the Akraine family and smiled even more.
“Would you like to have some food for the first time in a while?”
That moment,
Grumble!
Something bright red flowed from Liu Sina and began to cover the entire Arc Line.
* * *
Zion was meticulous and planned.
Therefore, the order given now to erase all noble families was not a decision made spontaneously.
A list that was recently entrusted to Shadow of Eternity and the Eye of the Moon to find out everything.
The names written on the list were all nobles of the aristocratic faction.
“Assassination of political opponents, theft of taxes, leaking of confidential information, slave trading, deception of the royal family, etc… … “There is so much written down that I can’t even read it.”
From the beginning, they were so rotten that they could not be saved, so this was the opportunity to organize them all.
‘The structure of the noble faction actually consists of upper nobles called the noble faction and numerous nameless lower nobles who serve them.’
What Sion decided to eliminate this time were high-ranking nobles, including Akline.
These bug-like guys just eat away at the country without being of any help.
It wasn’t worth saving at all.
Even if the Radiant Akrain is a family founded by one of the Five Kings, who was a confidant of Sion in the past when he was an Eternal Emperor.
If it were revealed to oneself, it was the tendency of Sion, or rather, Eternal Orrelion, to pull it out by the roots and completely remove the root of the evil.
The minions he sent are already invading not only the people here but also their families.
“This can’t be happening! This can’t be… … !”
The nobles, including Rupelt, rebelled against the tightening siege that surrounded them, but since they were not militarily strong to begin with, they began to be subdued in an instant.
The nobles of the noble faction are forced to kneel one by one, against their will, in front of the platform where Zion stands.
“Your Highness Deanna!”
Rupelt cried out as if pleading, looking at Deanna, who had once shared the same will, but Deanna’s eyes looking at him were extremely cold.
From the beginning, they were together because of mutual interests, and now even those interests have disappeared.
That’s why Deanna had no regrets about the Akraine family.
And in fact, even if she had regrets, there was nothing she could do here.
All real power was already in the hands of Shion, and Deanna was also in a position to be influenced by Shion’s every word.
“Ugh!”
Rupelt, who finally gave up asking for help from those around him, was forced to his knees and opened his mouth, glaring at Shion.
“You will regret it, Your Majesty. “I’m sure you’ll regret killing me like this now!”
A grumpy voice coming from a distorted face.
Shion lowered herself down and made eye contact with him, asking with a smile that sent chills down the spine just by looking at him.
“regret? “What do I regret?”
“I guess I’ll say that… … !”
“Where have you been hiding the empire’s budget from? Are you preparing to hand over the empire’s military secrets to the Demon Station? “Are they planting a large magical bomb under the Imperial Castle to prepare for a situation like this?”
With each word that comes out of Shion’s mouth, Rupelt’s face begins to turn whiter and whiter.
“Well, how did you… … .”
How on earth did they find out?
Rupelt was not stupid.

Therefore, if negotiations failed, various devices were prepared to threaten Emperor Zion.
However, with all of the devices flowing out of Zion’s mouth, it felt as if she was being stripped naked and sticking her neck out in front of a guillotine.
“My ‘eyes’ are a little more capable.”
That moment,
thud!
“Please, save me, Your Majesty!”
Is it because everything about him has been exposed?
Rupelt hit his head hard on the floor and began to beg for Sion.
“From now on, I will live as if I were dead, never under Your Majesty’s notice! If you have to give me all I have, I will give it! If I have to spend my life fighting monsters on the northern frontier, I will do it! Please save your life… … .”
It was no different from saying that he would give up everything he had achieved so far, but there was no hesitation in Rupelt’s eyes.
Because once you survive, you can look forward to the future.
But the moment he listened to Zion’s words that followed, he realized.
“If you want to live, you should have done better a long time ago.”
That there is no such thing as mercy for the man in front of me.
Especially when it comes to enemies who reveal it to themselves.
That moment,
“Kaaaa!”
Hwaaaaaaa!
With a cry that sounded like a struggle, a white light burst out from Rupelt’s whole body.
A method reserved as a last resort to prepare for the 0.01% possibility.
In an instant, a cluster of light in the shape of a sharp spear was shot straight at Zion.
“your majesty!”
Is it because it was literally the speed of light?
The knights around him reacted late, but the light spear created by Rupelt had already reached right in front of Sion.
but,
“iced coffee… … .”
The bright eyes of the head of the House of Light, which had been shining at the sight, began to become stained with despair again.
His final struggle.
The window of light created by those struggles,
Okay!
Because I was shaking in front of Zion’s eyes, unable to move any further.
The darkness that had suddenly fallen around that window was shaking as if it were alive.
“Let’s add one more charge. “For the attempted assassination of the emperor.”
Shion pulls out the ceremonial sword while muttering without any emotion, and suddenly!
He cut off Rupelt’s head.
Was that even a signal?
Sugagagagagak!
Next, the knights in front began swinging their swords and cutting off the heads of all the kneeling nobles.
The blood that flowed from him turned the front of the podium red.
A heavy silence falls among the people watching the scene.
People’s eyes are constantly shaking and filled with fear.
In fact, they knew it too.
Given the personality of Emperor Zion that we have seen so far, it is expected that a bloody wind will blow within the empire someday.
However, even they had never imagined that they would move so quickly, even as soon as the coronation ceremony took place.
Therefore, I could not react in any way and could only look at him with trembling eyes.
“I don’t want you guys to forget either.”
Shion’s eyes turn toward those people and curve in a graceful curve.
“It’s not that I don’t know what you guys are doing, it’s that I just turn a blind eye to it.”
It was a warning.
A warning that your head will be cut off at any time as soon as you cross the line.
‘tyrant… … And the most powerful tyrant in history has ascended to the throne.’
This was the common thought that came to the minds of all who bowed their heads deeply towards Zion.
But at the same time, they felt a strange sense of relief.
The current empire is in great confusion due to various disasters as well as the impending great war.
Such an empire might need a tyrant who devours everything with overwhelming charisma rather than a benevolent king who embraces the country with humanity and mercy.
“… … Long live His Majesty the Emperor of Zion!”
At that time, a cry came out from someone’s mouth.
Long live His Majesty Emperor Zion!!
Such cries spread through the people and begin to fill the interior of Deungseong Palace.
And so the bloody coronation ceremony ended.
* * *
The purge of noble families that began with the coronation ceremony proceeded smoothly.
Since both the cause and the power were on this side, they could not even resist, so they had no choice but to suffer helplessly.
It’s ridiculous that he tried to threaten Sion with that much power in the first place.
‘Well, they probably didn’t know that the three generations of Ogyeong and other royal family members all support me.’
Shion thought so and looked at the paper in front of him.
Due to this large-scale purge, many vacancies were created within the imperial castle, and the names of candidates to fill those vacancies were written on paper.
‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to put the guys I’ve been thinking about in this position.’
Those who have great abilities but are unable to shine due to their background and existing vested interests.
When Zion raises her teacup, remembering the names of those she saw in the chronicles,
“Huh, Rufeld Ackrein made that suggestion?”
Fredo, who was pouring coffee to others next to him, asked Thierry in front of him with a surprised expression.
“That’s right, not only do you dare threaten Her Majesty, but you also aim for the position of Empress. “She deserved to die.”
Thierry nodded and spoke, then turned his head towards Sion and opened his mouth again in a subdued tone.
“But Your Majesty, now that you have ascended to the throne, why don’t you start thinking about becoming empress?”
At Thierry’s words, the ears of those around him, not just Zion, began to perk up.
It was because I was very curious about who would take the place of that overwhelming, non-human ruler, and some of them had slightly different feelings.
“The empress… … .”
The first to be taken aback by Shion’s mutterings was Thierry, who spoke for the first time.
“I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to consider people from the three generations, just like the previous emperor did. They say they have sworn allegiance to you, but there is no bond more certain than marriage.”
Walhoun, who was pretending not to be interested in what was said and turned his head away, but was concentrating all his hearing on the conversation, secretly clenched his fist.
She was supposed to return right after the coronation ceremony, but she stayed in the palace, making various excuses.
at that time,
“When His Majesty spoke about him in the past, he said that he must first be qualified to stand next to him.”
Eileen, who had puffy eyes under her eyes as if she had stayed up all night for the past few days, opened her mouth.
“So wouldn’t it be right to focus on those with that level of ability? Of course, I don’t know how many there will be… … .”
At Eileen’s remark, the eyes of the warrior Claire Plosimar, who was planning the future, took on a strange glow.
“What are you talking about? The seat next to the owner has already been decided for me, with our souls intertwined!”
Riosina, who was playing with Sephir, the frost spirit who had returned to a new form next to him, shouted with a playful smile.
Of course, there was no way to know whether what he said was sincere or not.
“How is your Majesty? “Do you have anyone in mind?”
Is it because there was no use in talking among themselves anyway?
Fredo, who filled his empty teacup with fresh coffee, asked Zion.
“I am… … .”
Shion, who was thinking about something, slowly began to open his mouth.
