Standing on the balcony and looking out over the city, Raphtalia was somewhat dazed. She had never imagined that one day she would stand here—and that it would be after the King had been killed.
Three days had passed since that battle ended.
After Fang Zheng personally killed Megmaro the 32nd, the other nobles and ministers immediately chose to submit. Fang Zheng had demonstrated through his actions that whether King or noble, anyone who dared stand in his way would be killed without mercy. The troops loyal to the King and the Three Heroes Religion had been completely wiped out in the previous battle, not even scraps remaining. Naturally, everyone left immediately began groveling and flattering him.
Fang Zheng had no intention of usurping the throne. He was the master of Heavenly Dao Palace, with tens of thousands of planets under his rule.

So aside from ordering that everything remain as it was and waiting for the Queen to return, Fang Zheng did nothing. He merely held things together in the Royal Palace.
