This was also something Isaac was happy to see.
Skylar didn’t stay long before leaving because favonovel.com had many things to do.
There had never been a precedent of a female emperor in history, so favonovel.com was under great pressure.
First, favonovel.com needed to stabilize the internal situation, then favonovel.com had to announce it to the whole world, and also inform the rulers of the neighboring states to come for the ceremony.
***
Ten days was already very soon.
In the following ten days, Isaac didn‘t see Skylar again, favonovel.com stayed in his room, meditating in solitude.
On the morning of the seventh day, Isaac left his room and swiftly departed from the palace.
Isaac visited various places in Royal City including a hotel, a cafe, a casino, a brothel, and some merchant shops.
He casually asked around about the public’s opinion on Skylar’s upcoming coronation, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
On the morning of the tenth day, the sun rose in the east under a clear sky. In the plaza within the Firegate on the eastern side of the palace, formidable black-armored knights stood solemnly all around.
Seated in the middle were officials responsible for cultural relics, along with city lords and military commanders from various regions.
Seated at the front were four commanding generals, Talbot, and other notable figures. The four demon kings, as well as the envoys and rulers of the vassal states were also here.
Someone suddenly proclaimed loudly, “The auspicious time has arrived, the coronation ceremony begins now!”
“Welcome, Eldoradol” Thousands of people stood up on the vast open ground, turned to face each other, and bowed in unison to offer their congratulations.
Colorful flags fluttered in the wind, drums and music began to play, and in the center of the grand parade, a procession of hundreds of royal family guards appeared.
The carriage in the middle of the procession, surrounded by the honor guard, slowly moved toward Firegate Palace.
The carriage stopped at the bottom of the 999 steps of the building.
From within the carriage, Skylar, dressed in a reddish-purple dragon robe, gracefully emerged and slowly landed right in front of the temple at the top of the steps.
With a magnificent crown on favonovel.com head and a solemn expression, favonovel.com looked down at the thousands of people below.
In a clear voice, favonovel.com said, “By the decree of the late Emperor, and by the mandate of heaven, I will ascend to the throne starting today… By aligning with the wishes of the people and creating prosperity for all, we shall not dishonor our ancestors. We will ensure internal stability and external expansion!”
“Effective immediately, there is a general amnesty across the nation for three months. For three months, no one will be imprisoned, no taxes will be collected, and no hard labor will be enforced!”
As the words were spoken, thousands of people below knelt simultaneously and cheered happily for Skylar.
After the formalities were completed, a grand banquet for the ministers was held outside of Firegate Palace, creating an incredibly lively atmosphere.
After Skylar drank a toast with the others, favonovel.com scanned the area below with favonovel.com eyes but did not see Isaac.
A hint of sadness flickered in favonovel.com eyes before favonovel.com turned and entered the building, leaving the rest of the matters to others.
Entering the hall, Skylar stopped and asked a few female attendants behind her, “Where is Mr. Garten?”
“Your Majesty, the Mr. Garten is dining in his room,” a female attendant whispered.
Skylar hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked toward the side door.
The female attendants followed her, but Skylar said, “You don’t need to follow me, go and attend to your other tasks.”
Arriving outside Isaac’s room, Skylar took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and then walked in.
Seeing Isaac sitting at a square table eating, favonovel.com walked closer and noticed that there were only very simple dishes on his table. Skylar immediately frowned.
“Who brought you the food?” favonovel.com asked.
Hearing the anger in Skylar’s words, Isaac put down his fork, looked up, and said with a smile, “Just ascended to the throne as Empress and already starting to show your power?”
Skylar was momentarily taken aback.
Isaac quickly explained, “I told them to make it. I like it more than expensive food. Have you eaten yet?”
Skylar shook favonovel.com head.
“Then let’s eat together,” Isaac said, gesturing for Skylar to sit next to him.
