Coronation and the Blue Dragon

Lang Pu continued to ramble on, "Master, you unified Anzeta and wiped out the Frost Giant in the north in just a few years. This is an achievement and a great feat that no one in this land has been able to match in the past thousand years."

His tone became increasingly impassioned and passionate.

"The title of 'King' is insufficient to describe your greatness, even if it were equal to that of the the North."

At this point, Lang Pu deliberately paused slightly, lowered his head deeply, and looked at the audience with admiration and respect.

"I believe that you should be granted the title of 'Emperor' and elevate the Embers of the Burned Kingdom to an Empire—just like the Holy Fadlan of the past, which is what all your subjects earnestly desire."

"An empire?"

Keosius fell into thought, his eyes flickering.

Lang Pu continued in a low voice, "You can hold the coronation ceremony at the same time as awarding the medals, showcasing the power of the Embers of the Burned Kingdom to the entire Anzeta and even the continent, and completely annihilating the resistance forces in the the North."

"Furthermore, this ceremony will also make the entire Fei An Suo aware of our existence, letting them know that Anzeta is no longer closed off or indifferent to the world."

And we can use this as an opportunity to participate in the division of the Fadlan Empire's legacy— the Fadlan descendants are constantly fighting among themselves, and we, who have always been isolated from the mainland, can become a powerful external ally they are vying for.

Keosius nodded slightly, already somewhat persuaded by his words.

Lang Pu is not wrong.

The Embers of the Burned Kingdom, or rather the Empire, needs to show the world its fangs.

The current Embers of the Burned Kingdom has a vast territory of 2.7 million square kilometers and a total population of over 9 million.

Although it is only a remote corner of the vast Feanso Continent, it is already a major power with a name - not to mention that it has a ruler who has reached the pinnacle of Material Plane power, a terrifying Aberrant Dragon.

Without much hesitation, Keosius said, "In that case, let's get ready."

"However, I need a grand coronation ceremony, a ceremony sufficient to spread the name of the empire throughout the entire continent."

"Yes, Master!"

Lang Pu knelt on the ground, his face flushed with extreme excitement and joy, and he quickly took his leave.

As the current Chief Minister of the kingdom, there are still many matters awaiting Lang Pu's attention, the most important of which is undoubtedly the coronation ceremony that has just been proposed.

However, the kingdom's think tank had prepared dozens of plans before the war even began, and even compiled a detailed plan of more than 300 pages and hundreds of thousands of words.

It includes everything from the ritual steps and etiquette to the budget for various expenses.

After Lang Pu left, Keosius finally began to put the idea that had just crossed his mind into practice.

With a slight thought, he removed the crown.

Then he took out that silver-white gem—it was the [Bahamut's Wind].

He had previously noticed that Oszedro's silver disc did not match the gem, yet the "Bahamut's Wind" had forcibly elevated it to the level of a divine artifact.

Under the control of force field magic, the silver-white gemstones embedded in the crown's fine gold slowly fused into it.

The surface of the crown shimmered with silver light.

Their positions are not compatible, but this is the gentle power of Bahamut's order, enough to integrate into everything.

"Whoosh—"

[Supreme True Dragon Crown - Divine Radiance]

Quality: Sub-Artifact. "Tsk, as expected of the divine power of the Lord of the North Wind, it actually managed to upgrade the equipment to this level."

Keosius couldn't help but sigh as he stretched out his dragon body, placed the crown on his head, and felt the Purification of that order.

In the end, he removed the crown, took out the silver gem, and carried it close to his body.

Keosius also had a coronation ceremony to attend—although the Metallic Dragon already knew about it, he did not want to expose treasures of this caliber to the public.

Suddenly, the voice of Captain Ekemon of the Tiefling Guard came through the communicator.

"Your Majesty, Lady Christina wishes to see you."

Keosius frowned at the corners of his eyes and exhaled a breath of hot Sulfur Scent air with some impatience.

"Why is it her again?"

No wonder Keosius was so irritable.

In recent months, the Blue Dragon has come no less than ten times, each time being turned away by the guards on the grounds that "His Majesty is sleeping and recuperating."

Keosius casually gave the order:

"Or tell her I'm asleep."

Ekemon paused for a moment, then said with some helplessness, "Your Majesty, Lady Christina said she saw Lord Lang Pu and a human coming out of the palace."

"Ms. Christina requests that you allow her to come in as well, and she is lying at the palace gate."

"."

Keosius sighed.

"Fine, let her in then."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Soon, a soft, alluring female voice came from outside the door.

"Your Keosius Your Highness"

The gate slowly opened, revealing Christina in human form outside the hall.

She was still wearing a long silk dress that showed off her figure, and she walked quickly into the hall as if she couldn't wait.

Christina lifted her skirt with one hand to curtsy, a pitiful expression appearing on her bright face. "Your Majesty Keosius, you have finally agreed to see me."

Keosius lay sprawled on his throne, not even glancing at her, and said calmly, "The task Her Dragon Queen Your Majesty assigned me has been completed. Is there anything else?"

"Well"

Christina was momentarily speechless, but she quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Of course I'm here to congratulate you."

"You have defeated the famous 'Silver Wing'' Oszedro and annihilated the the North Alliance, achieving such a brilliant victory—as your loyal ally, I am naturally here to congratulate you."

Keosius remained calm. "Now we should finish the congratulations."

"Well then, Ms. Christina, please leave now. I need to rest."

Christina's expression changed drastically, and she quickly waved her hand to explain, "Of course not, please let me stay here a little longer."

"Why?"

Keosius tilted his head.

Christina's body shimmered with tiny magical lights, and her form rapidly expanded, transforming into a young Blue Dragon several meters long.

The Blue Dragon gently swayed its thick tail, stretched its sky-blue wings, and its Dragon Face with the single horn on its nose "smiled":

"Your Majesty Keosius, according to the tradition of our Five-Colored Dragon, after experiencing a thrilling battle, we often relax by partying all night long."

Before you rest, why not have a thoroughly enjoyable time?

Immediately afterwards, the Blue Dragon approached the Red Dragon step by step, its deep blue body deliberately twisting.

"What kind of bullshit tradition is this?"

Keosius had a strange expression.

"Your Majesty Keosius— "

With the fluctuations of the force field magic, the Blue Dragon was suddenly sent flying, rolling more than ten times on the ground before coming to a stop.

Just as Keosius was about to kick her out completely, Christina, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly got up, raised her paws in a panic, and forced a smile.

"Wait! Your Majesty Keosius!"

"That was just an accident. I really have brought the Dragon Queen's new decree this time!"

"Explain."

Christina said softly, "Her Dragon Queen Your Majesty said that you should not forget the previous agreement."

"I see."

Keosius replied expressionlessly.

The Red Dragon gazed into the distance, its pale golden pupils shimmering with light, as if the majestic figure of the Five-Colored Five-Headed dragon could be seen within them.

"Dragon Usurpation? I'll see who's being used in the end."

He thought to himself.

Christina, on the other hand, left the kingdom with a long face and a slunky demeanor, returning empty-handed once again—her charm, which she was so proud of, had no effect whatsoever.

The Blue Dragon attendant, who had been waiting for a long time, comforted him:

"Miss, don't be discouraged. At worst, the clan can find you another male dragon with Ancestor Bloodline. With the power of our Faria Clan, we can still manage that."

Christina shook her head vigorously, her skin crackling from the strong static electricity.

Her expression was mournful as she pounded the ground in frustration, gritting her teeth as she said:

"I don't care, this is Her Dragon Queen Your Majesty's own promise, only he is worthy of me! Besides, where else can I find a dragon like Keosius Your Highness? They're all a bunch of useless trash!"
