From the center of the altar, a red carpet extended down covering 990 steps. Once all the spectators were seated, a faint red glow began to appear on the horizon.
Jonah slowly stood up and flew toward the center of the altar. He stood at the forefront, holding a red proclamation book with both hands, and said loudly, “By the royal decree and with the nation’s prosperity, it is thanks to Commander Ramirez’s campaigns across the land that peace has been achieved!”
“During the previous emperor’s reign, corruption was rampant, and the citizens cried out in misery. Nowadays, when the righteous path is upheld, and with the world constantly changing, the kingdom will soon undergo a complete transformation!”
“From the moment the sun rises in the east, the Kingdom of Easteria will change its name to Seraphym Dynasty. The new emperor will ascend with the rising sun, driving away all malevolent spirits. From then on, the nation’s power will be vast, and it will enjoy eternal peace and prosperity!”
As the words finished, the surrounding band began to play again, and a streak of red light burst forth from within the clouds.
Elon, dressed in formal royal clothing, slowly ascended the steps toward the altar.
He was followed by two ceremonial officers, who were carrying a delicate wooden tray with a gold-embellished glass crown on it. The crystal crown symbolized the highest authority in the kingdom.
Once the coronation ceremony was complete, Elon would officially become the ruler of the kingdom.
Everyone present at the ceremony was deeply immersed in the solemn and grand ritual. Allegra, who was sitting next to Isaac, whispered in awe, “This feels just like the scene of an emperor‘s coronation in ancient times…”
“This emperor is much more formidable than the emperors of the medieval era,” Isaac said with a light chuckle.
Allegra covered favonovel.com mouth and giggled softly while holding tightly onto Isaac’s arm.
What the two people didn’t know was that while everyone’s attention was focused on the new emperor, someone in the seat on their right, just a short distance away, was observing them.
Elara from the Boltzyn Dynasty was casting a sidelong glance in this direction. Behind favonovel.com sat a person dressed in a multicolored robe, whose sinister eyes, hidden within the robe, were also staring at Allegra.
As the first rays of sunlight shone down, Elon stood at the very center of the altar. He prayed, then took the royal decree from Jonah’s hands.
At this moment, Jonah looked to his left at Isaac and said in a loud voice, “Now, may Lord Garten crown the new emperor!”
Everyone around followed Jonah’s gaze and looked over at Isaac.
Even those like Alcide and Gerome did not anticipate that it would be Isaac who would crown the new emperor. This was an unparalleled honor given in complete silence.
Isaac glanced around, and Allegra beside favonovel.com quickly whispered, “Hurry, go now…”
Isaac stood up and gently flew toward the altar and landed next to Elon.
Two ceremonial officers, each carrying a glass crown on a wooden tray, immediately knelt beside Isaac. They lowered their heads and held the trays up high.
Elon glanced at Isaac. Feeling slightly nervous, favonovel.com slowly bowed his head.
Isaac lifted the glass crown with both hands and then placed it on Elon’s head.
Jonah took a deep breath, waved his hand, and loudly proclaimed, “The ceremony is complete, behold His Majesty, Seraphym!”
As Jonah turned around and knelt down in worship, all the officials in the court, all the city lords, and the envoys who came to watch the ceremony all stood up and knelt down toward the altar to pay their respects.
Thousands of people shouted, “Hail His Majesty, Seraphym!”
Elon looked at all the people kneeling below, then turned to Isaac and said, “I never imagined I would one day wear this glass crown. Isaac, you deserve great credit for this!”
Isaac smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Everyone else bows to you, but I won’t. Is that alright?”
Elon laughed and said, “If you don’t bow to me, you’ll have to drink three beers as punishment.”
Then, raising both hands, favonovel.com glanced around and said, “Everyone, get up.”
From this moment on, the Kingdom of Easteria no longer existed and had become Seraphym dynasty. Elon had become the first Emperor of the Seraphym Dynasty.
