LAZARUS REGULUS
Chapters 310. The Coronation of Duchess Helene.

All the people of the Capital Regulus were happy because today was the coronation day of the new ruler of the Western region of the Lion Heart Empire. They prepared countless flowers and flower arrangements along the way to Lion Heart Imperial Palace to welcome the new Duchess of Lion Heart Empire.

After all the crimes and betrayals of Duke Gigas Leontios are revealed. They all became enraged due to the ruthless and tyrannical leadership of Duke Gigas Leontios. But upon hearing Pierre retreat from the throne, then his distant cousin who was appointed ruler. All the people of the Lion Heart Empire became happy because now was the era of the new ruler, they expected that the new ruler would be able to make the Leontios region and Lion Heart Empire advance.

A silver chariot was pulled by the 12 Grand Demon Beast Blizzard Horse with a red-eyed golden lion head flag passing through the streets of the Imperial Capital of Lion Heart.

"Who's train is that? I don't know the flag." Someone said.

"Wait on! The lion's head emblem was the emblem of the Lion Heart Empire, could it be that the flag was the carriage of Duchess Helene Giselle Leonis?" Someone answered.

Helene wears a dark blue dress with blue earring artifacts that match her dress. He opened the window of his carriage, then waved and smiled at everyone.

"A very beautiful woman!" Everyone cheered as they sprinkled flower petals towards Helene.

The beauty of Helene, Iris and Lilian was extremely rare in this world. When the beauty of Iris is like the moon, the beauty of Lilian is like the stars and the beauty of Helene is like the morning sun.

Behind Helene's carriage were numerous representative trains from the neighboring Kingdoms and Empires. Drawn by various Beasts with different flags.

The Swallow Empire, the Kingdom of Pendragon, the Avalon Empire, the Kingdom of Arsen, the Albion Empire, the Kingdom of Symphonia and the Amazones Kingdom were neighboring Kingdoms that would bear witness to the coronation of Duchess Helen.

Everyone was excited to see the myriad Kingdoms and Empires coming to the Imperial Capital of Lion Heart Empire. It was a very rare thing to see all the Kings and Emperors of the neighboring Kingdoms come to Lion Heart Empire.

"Is it all?" Someone asked.

"The family of Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus has not yet arrived. Will they not attend the coronation of Duchess Helene?" Someone asked.

"I heard from my friend who was a servant in the Palace that the second Lady Freya was disappointed with His Majesty the Emperor Altair and refused a gift from the Emperor." Someone said.

"Wait on! Wasn't that carriage the Grand Duke Regulus Royal Family's carriage?" Someone pointed into the distance.

"Grand Duke Lazarus!!" People cheered loudly at the sight of the Regulus family carriage. The white colored chariot drawn by the 12 Grand Demon Beast White Dragon Horse was extremely rare.

...****************...

The Lion Heart Imperial Palace was white and majestic. The servants welcomed the arrival of the Emperor, the King and the Nobles with beautiful smiles on their lips.

"Duchess, you are so beautiful today. I thought that your beauty could make flowers ashamed." Edgard says.

"Thank you, Marquis Edgard, I'm very pleased with your praise." Helene answered.

"Duchess Helene, can we dance after your coronation?" Aland asked.

"King Aland, I think you should wait in line because so many people want to dance with me. I thought I would dance for 2 days, if I danced with all of them. If I just accept your dance offer, wouldn't it be unfair to them?" Helene smiled as she stared at the men who asked her to dance.

Agenor approached Helene with a reddened face. Helene's beauty is on par with Iris and Lilian, but she hears Helene is only 18 years old and unmarried. Now is the opportunity to pluck a very beautiful flower, before another man first plucks the flower.

"Duchess Helene, your red eyes are as beautiful as Ruby's and your hair is as beautiful as gold silk threads. My name is Emperor Agenor Albion and our territory is next door. I was blown away the first time I saw you and can we get closer?" Agenor smile.

"Agenor, hasn't the Albion Empire and the Leontios Region long fought for the border struggle?" Aland asked as he stared cynically at Agenor.

"Aland, let the past pass and the Albion Empire is already at peace with the Lion Heart Empire." Agenor answered.

Helene felt a spark from the gaze of Aland and Agenor, but she did not care much about it.

A short blond handsome man with green and blue Heterochromia eyes stepped towards Duchess Helene. He wears a black suit and a white shirt. He was one of the most handsome men in the Western Continent of Zephyra and the New King of the Kingdom of Arsen after King Charon Albion died Caldwell Arsen.

"Duchess Helene, you are so beautiful. My name is Caldwell Arsen and I was blown away at first sight when I saw you." Caldwell says.

"Goddess Artemis, why did you give me the same face as my past. I want to get out of this place immediately." Inner Helene.

"King Caldwell, unfortunately I'm not fascinated with you." Helene smiled subtly.

All the women were surprised that Helene rejected Caldwell outright, but many women were infatuated and could sacrifice everything to become Caldwell's lover.

"Interestingly, this woman is the most beautiful woman I have ever met and the third woman besides Beryl and Geraldine to reject me. Besides he is a wealthy noble, if I marry him I can pay the debt of the Kingdom of Arsen," inward Caldwell Arsen.

King Charon Arsen died from sleeping too much with his 100 concubines, he died with a happy smile. But unlike his heir Caldwell, he bore all of his father's Debt to the Gold Bank. All his brothers did not want to be King because the Kingdom of Arsen has a very large debt, even they had to sell 1 mine to pay the interest.

Caldwell Arsen's goal was to come here in addition to attending Helene's coronation, he also wanted to meet Lazarus to borrow money because according to rumors Lazarus was a very rich man.

"Sufuku. Gentlemen, can you please not disturb Duchess Helene?" Alyssa chuckled small.

Helene stared at Alyssa and the 6 Mistresses of the Regulus Family who had come along with Cassandra.

"Sister!!" Helene ran towards Lilian and hugged her.

"Helene, you've grown up and are they all bothering you?" Lilian asked.

"No, I just wanted to visit you in Regulus County. I miss you so much, I also want to meet Saint Iris and the others." Helene says.

"What about Magnolia? Did he not visit you?" Lilian asked.

"Magnolia, go to perform a task given Uncle Aldric. He hasn't been back for months, I don't know where he went and Uncle didn't tell me where Magnolia was going." Helene answered.

"My husband, Iris, Carissa and Deviela were not present at this meeting. But we're here now and we're gonna protect you from those wolves." Lilian stared at Aland and the others, then led Lilian away to a safe table.

"Richard, remember you owe my husband 1 Billion Gold Coins. If you don't pay for it, I'll pawn the 1st letter of the Avalon Empire mine to Gold Bank." Alyssa says.

"Mrs Alyssa, I'll pay off all my debts soon." Richard answered.

Helene and everyone went to the prepared table. Altair and Florencia entered the room, then sat on the throne. Nearby had already prepared 7 thrones that were slightly lower than theirs for where the neighboring King and Emperor of the Empire were seated.

High Priest Rafa entered the room, then called Helene to come forward. Duke Rafa wishes Duchess Helene that she will be a benevolent and just leader to her people.

"Helene Giselle Leonis, I will now crown you Duchess of Leonis. May you be a just, wise and blessed leader of the Gods."

Helene kneels. "Emperor, I promise to be a just and wise leader. Protecting the territory and the Lion Heart Empire using all my strength and life."

"I am the Emperor of the Lion Heart Empire to the 76th Altair Lion Heart now elevates Helene Giselle Leonis as the ruler of the Western region of the Lion Heart Empire. Received all the territories left behind by the Noble Leontios and gave her the title of Duchess. If someone disagrees, say it now!" Altair says.

Pierre, the 3rd Duke of the Lion Heart Empire, the Noble of the Lion Heart Empire and the neighboring King/Emperor nodded.

Altair put up a silver-colored crown on Helene's head, then all the Nobles of the Lion Heart Empire clapped.

Helene slightly bowed towards Altair with a dazzling smile on her face and gracefully walked over to Lilian's table and the others.

"Wait!" Altair stopped Helene.

"Emperor Altair, what do you want?" Helene was confused as to why Altair suddenly stopped her.

"Helene, don't you have a partner yet? If you don't have a partner yet, then can I be your partner?" Altair smiled confidently.

"What??"

Everyone was silent, Altair had just divorced 92 of his wives. But she wants to propose a new Duchess to be made a wife.

"Helene, get over here! Altair, remember when Iris was here. He'll definitely hit you." Felicity yells.

Helene quickened her footsteps and sat down beside Alyssa.

"Felicity, forgive me and everyone enjoy the party, the food and drink of Lion Heart Empire!" Altair exclaims.

The party began, everyone enjoyed the best quality Wine, listened to the beautiful music and saw the dancers who had been prepared.

"Haha. When Urs, here she's sure to bring some beautiful songs to all of us." Emperor Asher Swallow laughed.

"us? Do you mean Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus?" Agenor asked.

Emperor Asher nodded. "Your agent didn't attend the Great Alliance and Great Power's Meeting dance party. You do not see the spectacular appearance of Lazarus, until now everyone will not forget the appearance of Lazarus."

"Will the black cat be able to play music?" Agenor surprised.

"Not just playing music, but Urs is also very good at singing and dancing. I guess only a few people can rival Urs' art skills." Former Emperor Cyrille laughed.

"Sufuku. I agree and Freya why is Lazarus not present at this coronation?" Queen Alicia asked.

"My husband, go to the Cerulean Forest with Alastair and Icarus." Freya answered while biting the grilled Multi Colour meat.

"Urs is a kind-hearted man, but he is sometimes very stupid and innocent." Lilian smiled.

"Those stupid asses are sometimes as unreliable as when dressed. The taste of his clothes is very bad, he also pays less attention to the cleanliness of his body. She's so insensitive to women's feelings, she even thinks disgusting food is delicious." Alyssa said as she ate a piece of apple.

"Helene, that man is sometimes innocent and stupid, but he is a reliable person. Although he was intelligent, but he could not hide his expression while lying. A man who is very gentle to women, but he is also very weak when fighting women." Theresia.

"I want to meet him." Helene smiled.

Everyone gave gifts to Emperor Altair and Duchess Helene. They have prepared many gifts for all of them.

"Helene, the Grand Duke Regulus Noble Family gave you the Legendary Phoenix Blood Diamond Rank Necklace Artifact." Lilian says.

"Thank you, a very precious and beautiful artifact. I like it so much." Helene hugged Lilian.

Cathrine placed the necklace and Pendant Artifact on Helene's neck.

"How does a person on Planet Antares have the Skill to make an Artifact as beautiful and smooth as this. Even in the upper realms there were very few people who could make it," Inner Helene.

"Urs, who made it. Nyaww." Cathrine says.

Freya took out a large scroll as a gift for Altair, she got it from the Lazarus study.

"Emperor Altair, this painting is a gift from the House of Nobles Regulus." Freya handed the enormous painting over to Altair.

"I'm so grateful for your gift." Altair smiled, then went to the big table in front of everyone. King Aland and the others were curious about the gift of Lazarus.

Freya returned to her seat.

"Freya, did you give me the painting you saw in Lazarus' den?" Alyssa asked.

"Sufuku. Lazarus has no talent for painting, I see his painting skills are terrible." Felicity chuckles.

"Felicity, what do you mean?" Alyssa tilted her head.

"The painting of Lazarus is like the painting of a man, but it is not like a man. He also painted a mountain, but the color is not neat." Felicity smiles.

"Fel, when the painting is you mean. Maybe Veronika painted it. Veronika always played with her Grandpa in the study. I've seen Lazarus paint, and then he immediately hid it in a barbed under the table. He said the painting would be useful, if the finances of Regulus were in crisis." Diana says.

"What!!" Felicity immediately walked towards Altair, she was curious about the painting of Lazarus.

Helene who was a famous painter, also went towards Altair. He was very curious about the beauty of Lazarus' painting.

"Let me open it! I want to see a painting painted by a black cat!" Agenor screaming.

"Haha. Although this painting is very ugly, I will still display it in the throne room." Altair laughing.

Agenor opened the painting. Everyone instantly froze when they saw the painting.

...Golden Lion Adventurer Party....

The paintings are Altair, Iris, Lazarus, Alyssa, Carissa, Sebastian, Ray, Delia, Diana and Vincent while they were still in the Party Golden Lion.

The painting is very beautiful and realistic, even though Lazarus hates Vincent. However, in the past Vincent has helped the Golden Lion Party a lot.

Altair's body trembled at the sight of the painting, she reminisced about her past when she was young and adventured with the rest of her Party. Especially Ray and Vincent who died.

"Guards, quickly install this painting right now!" Altair shouting.

"According to your orders, Your Majesty." The guards immediately put the painting into a wooden frame artifact, put up glass to protect the painting from damage, then put the painting on the wall that was there.

Everyone looked towards the painting. The Kings, Emperors and Nobles of the Neighboring Empire immediately swarmed the painting and were amazed by the beauty and skill of Lazarus in painting.

Lazarus learned about art and painting from the 12th and 14th birth. Although he was a little reluctant, but he learned very well.

"This painting will be of very high value at the auction." Queen Gerarda said.

"Black Smith, Architecture, Music, Battle, I didn't know that stupid guy had a lot of talent." Emperor Asher Arsen said as he drank a cup of Wine.

"Duke Ray Zander, laugh at this painting. He seems to be the happiest man." Duke Donovan said.

"Lazarus, paint me. Even though I only briefly entered the Golden Lion Party." Diana says.

Felicity, Theresia and Lilian stared at the painting with sparkling eyes. Although they often saw beautiful paintings, but they had never felt this kind of feeling.

"Freya, do you want to take your gift?" Altair asked.

"Emperor Altair, after I negotiated with everyone. We want to take the Brown Mountain area along with the 2 Material mines that are on the border of Regulus and Leonis." Cassandra kneels.

"Cassandra, why are you?" Altair was puzzled as to why Cassandra was answering.

"Emperor Altair, Cassandra was Duchess Regulus. When Iris, Lazarus and Alastair were absent, Cassandra was the one who held the supreme power of Regulus. Even though the seven of us are his wives, our relationship is limited to a couple because we do not want a civil war to happen. If the matter is about The North Alliance, we can interfere. But if it's about Regulus, we can't interfere." Theresia answered.

"Alright, but both the mine and the territory belong to Duchess Leonis. I have no right to decide. However, if Duchess Leonis is willing the Imperial Capital of Lion Heart will replace the price of the mine or exchange it for new territory and mines." Altair answered.

"I'm willing. Losing a small area and 2 medium-sized mines is not a problem because we have found 12 new Material mines. Duchess Cassandra Regulus, in exchange I want the Grand Duke to visit my territory to meet with me. Hopefully in the future Regulus and Leonis can work together and build an alliance." Helene smiled.

Everyone was shocked to hear about the discovery of 12 new Material mines. They thought Gigas had exploited all the mines of Leontios territory in preparation for war..

"All right, we agree." Alyssa answered.

Helene looked back at the painting of Lazarus with sparkling eyes. All the men there knew Helene was fascinated with Lazarus.

"Sufuku. That stupid ass always makes surprises." Beryl says.

"Beryl, I agree and doesn't Freya still have Lazarus' painting?" Gerard asked.

Everyone immediately swarmed Freya, they wanted to see another painting of Lazarus.

"Freya, you can take it out. Isn't Regulus now in a crisis after the war?" Theresa asked.

Freya took out 3 more paintings of not too large size. But the painting belongs to a large painting.

Freya opened the painting in front of everyone. The painting of a High Elf in a green dress who was laughing cheerfully. High Elves are like Alyssa, but look more beautiful and have a more charming aura than Alyssa. A green deer made of wood with horns overgrown with multicolored flowers is seen beside it and its Back Ground is on a giant tree branch filled with shady green foliage.

...Green King Alannia The Queen Of Forest...

"Exactly show 2 more paintings!" Alyssa screaming.

The second painting is a painting of Lazarus playing with Veronika, Arion, Gardenia, Leonhart and Ariana in a garden. All the women there were charmed by the beautiful smile of Grand Duke Lazarus as well as the cuteness of the 5 babies.

"Freya, you took the wrong painting! Shouldn't this painting be on display at Regulus Castle! Nyaww." Cathrine shouted, then took the painting.

Helene was disappointed when Cathrine kept the painting, before she looked at it carefully.

The last painting is a red-haired man, red eyes and tanned skin with a face like Lazarus. The man smiled beautifully at a Peony flower garden while carrying a gold-colored Claymore and a black claymore with blue gradations. Although on the cheek there was an incision scar, but the man looked very happy because he had enjoyed life.

...Cesare Vesta's...

"Freya, do you still have another painting!" Agenor screaming.

Freya took out a huge scroll of paintings that she found in Lazarus' room. The painting was a painting of a beautiful middle-aged, snow-white haired lady being in the Ice Rose flower garden. She was the Queen Mother of Agatha Boreas, the grandmother of Lazarus.

"Haha. Are you going to sell the painting? I'll pay him 100 Million Gold Coins!" Agenor laughed, he didn't know them all. But he was fascinated by the beauty of the three paintings.

Everyone stared at Agenor.

"Hmmm. Little Agenor, did you not see anyone who was in this painting?" Duke Andre asked.

"Uncle, who are they?".

"The story of the fourth era, the name of the High Elf race woman is Green King Alannia. Urs, must have never seen her face so she used Princess Alyssa as a refraction. The second painting is the third-century tale of the Hero Cesare Argonaut Vesta, he uses his own face to depict Cesare with changes in eye color, hair, skin, and skin, the burly body is also a scar on the right cheek that is often told in fairy tale books. While the last painting is Empress Dowager Agatha Boreas, it looks like Lazarus loved his grandmother so he painted it. But this painting seems to be alive and has a soul." Duke Andre replied.

"The price of this painting can be very high at auction and if the High Elves see it I can't imagine the price of the painting Green King Alannia and Hero Cesare. They were people who lived a very long life, The painting of the Empress Dowager Agatha would also be sold expensive because the Nobles of the Northern Continent of Boreas were rich golden piggy banks." Emperor Avalon said.

Everyone nodded.
