A New Journey

Despite Lux's sorrow, preparations for Jarvan IV's enthronement ceremony began in full swing.

This ceremony seemed destined to be grand from the start. To gain favor for their support, many members of the nobility showcased their best skills, offering extensive guidance on etiquette to Jarvan IV, like peacocks displaying their plumage, doing their utmost to highlight their value.

The Grand Etiquette, a book Lux could consider a childhood trauma, was practically being worn out by the lords of the Noble Council. They meticulously and earnestly sought to define every detail of this grand ceremony, constantly asserting their presence.

This was indeed one of the traditional nobility's strongest areas. While there were sporadic opinions from the Art Support Association, they were quickly shot down by the old guard nobility clutching the Grand Etiquette.

It seemed that even Jarvan IV had little say in matters of etiquette.

However, Jarvan IV's silence didn't mean no one spoke.

As a force balancing the power of the nobility, the Illuminati, after some preparation, quickly launched a series of moves regarding the enthronement ceremony's arrangements.

When it came to studying classics and tracing etiquette, the Illuminati, whether the new faction that transferred in due to military merit or the old faction mixing various etiquettes, couldn't compare to the nobles who were off-duty, solely dedicated to studying this.

But if they couldn't compete head-on, they could flip the table!

While the nobles were tirelessly tracing every detail of the enthronement ceremony, striving to make everything about Jarvan IV align with Oren, the Illuminati suddenly spoke up.

"Why should our enthronement ceremony conform to the old traditions?"

Demacia was previously a kingdom, and even the great King Oren was just that—a king.

But now, Jarvan IV was to become an emperor, and Demacia was to become an empire.
