Chapter 908: The Emperor is
Within hours, it had spread over the entire Pirate Island that the Sea King had been captured and that the Island was going to be managed by the Three Pirate Chiefs. While everyone on the Pirate Island was thinking that the Sea King was in imprisonment of the Royal Family, getting tortured, the Sea King was actually eating snacks while sitting in the Royal Palace. He wasn't alone either. The other important guests were also sitting in the main hall of the Royal Palace. Every person who had even any significance in the grand scheme of things was here. That included the Shadow Guards, the High Generals, the City Lords, the Merchants, the weapon makers, the Alchemists and so on. They were all waiting for one person as they looked at the empty throne before them. The King still wasn't here. They all wondered what was taking the King so long to arrive. They had eagerly been waiting for the reason for this invitation to be revealed. Was this a declaration of war as they expected? Or was there going to be a Royal Wedding? Was their King finally going to get married?
There were many possibilities in their King, and all they needed was a confirmation. After a long time, the main doors of the hall finally opened. Two Shadow Guards entered first. However, behind them, there wasn't the King! Instead, it was his sister who had donned the Royal attire adorned with the Royal Seal. Behind the woman, there were more shadow guards who made sure that she was protected. The woman walked towards the Throne. As she stood before the throne, she looked at the empty throne. Her eyes revealed sadness, but she took a deep breath. She turned around to face the guests. The Sea King straightened his back, realizing some things. His expressions darkened in shock. "Don't tell me the Emperor..." he muttered, but didn't complete his sentence. "Then this meeting is for..."
The Shadow Guards stood behind the throne. For the first time, they had made their presence known in such large numbers. Their aura was so powerful that even the strongest of guests felt suppressed. "I would like to thank you all for arriving on such short notice," The Princess stated, addressing all the guests. "It is with great sadness that I have to inform you about the passing away of my dear brother and your Emperor," the Princess stated.
Hearing her words, all the guests were shocked. Even the ones who had already thought of this possibility found it hard to believe. How could the Elzeiran Emperor die? He had the strongest immortality amongst all the Elzeirans. And he wasn't two hundred years old yet. So how could he die? If it wasn't because of age, that could only mean that someone had killed him? Was it really possible for someone to kill an Elzeiran?
Many of them had heard of this rumor that there was a person who could do this, but they all thought this was an absurd rumor. So how?
The Princess' voice quivered slightly, but she maintained her composure as she continued, "Hence, today you are all invited to attend the Coronation Ceremony. I will be taking the throne, becoming your Queen. If you have any objections, please raise your hands."
None of the guests dared to raise their hands. They weren't fools to do something so oblivious. As if their objection was going to change the outcome. The Shadow Guards were behind that woman. If they raised their hands, they were certainly going to be killed. The Celestial Empress had also merged amongst the guests. She was also shocked to find out that the Elzeiran Emperor was dead. How could it be possible? She came here, thinking they were going to talk about Karyk and execute him. But it was the other way around? It wasn't Karyk who was to die, but it was the Emperor who was dead?
The only person she knew who could do something like that was Karyk. But wasn't he asking for her for help? How could he kill the Emperor when he was asking for help?
