Chapter 439: The Ceremony and Beginning of the Rebellion
After the banquet, everyone rested for over an hour before they were invited into the throne room. This time, only the great powers that had at least one Void God Realm expert in their midst were allowed to enter inside. The others who could not enter could only shake their heads helplessly. However, they were already satisfied with what they obtained in the banquet. After all, they had befriended like-minded forces and some had even come to a big business deal! As for the coronation, they could only watch the ceremony through a visual screen …
The coronation ceremony of the Great Demon Empire was not troublesome. The current emperor would only hand over his throne to the successor and complete the ceremony by receiving blessings from the elders of the Bloodfallen Family, the Lycan Family, and the Torgrim Family. However, everyone knew that the coronation ceremony this time was different. They could sense that a plot was being created behind the scenes!
At this moment, Emperor Balmond sat on his throne with a dignified expression on his face. He raised his hand and all his subjects immediately bowed to him with a respectful gaze, while the guests cupped their fists to show their respect.
“First, I want to thank guests from all over the continent for coming here to our Great Demon Empire to celebrate the coronation ceremony of my daughter, Cornelia. Our Great Demon Empire hopes that everyone here will become our most trusted ally! ” Emperor Balmond said with a smile. His gaze lingered for a while at the place of the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family.
After which, the Demon Emperor stood up from his throne and waved his sleeve as he said. “Now, please welcome the successor of the Great Demon Empire! My daughter, Cornelia Bloodfallen!”
Clap it! Clap it! Clap it!
A thunderous applause echoed within the throne room following the words of the Demon Emperor. Everyone turned their gazes towards the elegantly dressed Cornelia who was slowly ascending the throne. Each of his steps was filled with elegance and a slight movement of his hips mixed with temptation and charm.
Almost every man inside the throne room was fascinated by her beauty…
Cornelia stopped in front of her father and bowed to him with a smile.
“Cornelia Bloodfallen, I hereby declare you as the next ruler of the Great Demon Empire!” Under everyone's watchful gaze, Emperor Balmond took off his golden crown and placed it over Cornelia's head.
The gold crown is not heavy. In fact, it was very light. However, Cornelia could already feel the burden of wearing it as it rested on her head. He looked at his father for the last time before turning his gaze to everyone.
“Your Majesty!” Emperor Balmond was the first to pay homage to the newly crowned Queen. The subject of the Great Demon Kingdom immediately followed and bowed towards the new Queen. Even the guests did not dare to act presumptuously and also lightly lowered their heads.
“Your Excellency Cornelia!”
“Your Excellency Cornelia!”
Demon Emperor Balmond raised his hand and gestured for everyone to be quiet. “Your Majesty, receive blessings from the elders of the three founding families of the Great Demon Kingdom!”
Cornelia nodded her head solemnly. He then walked down the throne and stood in front of the three old figures. They were representatives of the three founding families!
The three elders looked at Cornelia and started their speeches one by one. The first to speak was the elder of the Bloodfallen Family, followed by the Lycan Family, and then the Torgrim Family.
After giving blessings to the new ruler, the three elders bowed to him.
“Your Majesty!”
The elders from the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family suddenly pounced on Cornelia with daggers in their hands!
Cornelia's eyes shone with a hint of fear, but she did not move from her place. He knew that someone was there to protect him! And just as he had predicted, a silhouette dressed as an imperial guard appeared before him and repelled the daggers of the two elders.
Clangs! Clangs!
Against this drastic change of event, some guests were nervous, while some looked interested. They knew that the real show had finally begun!
“Bigger! What does this mean?!” Emperor Balmond exploded into rage. His aura made the two elders take a few steps back.
Ren Shuang stared at the audience with a predatory gaze as she stood beside the newly crowned Queen. He was like a peerless general in that battle armor! Even Cornelia felt her eyes glow as she looked at the reliable figure of Ren Shuang.
“The Lycan family object! We don't want that succubus to be our new ruler!”
“The Torgrim family also objected! The ruler of the Great Demon Empire must be someone capable! Why should we follow the leadership of an ordinary woman?!” The one who spoke was Bylor. He led a group of elders from the Torgrim Family.
“It's true! I feel that I am more qualified to be emperor than this succubus whore!” Bylor said with a horrible smile on his face.
“Not making sense! How dare you speak like that to His Majesty!” The Bloodfallen Family Elder leaped towards Bylor, but he was blocked by the elders of the Torgrim Family.
Balmond's face was filled with anger. These idiots from the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family actually dared to ignore his presence?
Just as he was about to attack, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
“News! Stormhoof!” Balmond muttered with gritted teeth.
Holy hooch!
Yue Bo also appeared beside Balmond.
“Balmond. You've become worse after thousands of years. Hahaha!” The Herald laughed out loud as he pointed at Balmond's face.
“Son Ren, evacuate Cornelia and have the army block the palace!” Balmond sent a telepathic message to Ren Shuang who immediately nodded her head.
“Come go.” Ren Shuang grabbed the stunned Cornelia and dragged her out of the throne room. This place will soon become the center of war!
