Imperial Consorts

"But I heard that after Amigel married that Human Race girl, he never touched her."

The Winged People who had heard the news spoke.

"Amigel's tastes are still normal, then. In that case, there's more to this than meets the eye."

Jiang You pondered.

As the Goblin Empire's first emperor, Amigel had the ability to found a nation and the vision to rule it. His actions were never simple.

After thinking for a while, Jiang You finally understood.

"I get it!"

He addressed the Winged People officials accompanying him.

"Let's avoid contact with the Human Race for now. Amigel took the Human Race girl Fiona into his harem but never favored her. He's sending us a message!"

"Boss, what message?"

Little Turtle was baffled.

There's a deeper meaning to this? The way intelligent races think is far too complicated. No, I've got to learn a thing or two!

"I get it too!"

The Winged People girl Inona beside him also exclaimed in sudden understanding.

"By taking the woman who leads the Human Race into his harem, Amigel is telling us that the Human Race belongs to him! He wants us to keep our hands off them!"

"So that's it!"

"You're pretty clever, little Ina!"

Jiang You praised her with a smile.

"Hehe."

The Winged People girl gave a sweet smile.

Another half month passed.

The entire new city of Proadas grew extraordinarily lively as great numbers of intelligent races allied with the goblins arrived, bringing an enormous influx of people.

With the goblins also continually relocating their people from across the continent during this period, Proadas now had nearly a million inhabitants!

The goblins alone numbered over nine hundred thousand!

An astonishing number!

On this day.

It was early spring, when all things revived and life flourished.

On this day, all of Proadas seemed majestic and solemn.

For today was the day Amigel would be crowned emperor of the Goblin Empire.

Every goblin wore a joyful expression that day.

Viewed from the sky.

All the goblin citizens stood in the streets at the foot of Mount Proadas, waiting quietly.

Great numbers of goblin soldiers stood on the city walls and in the streets, facing the palace atop Mount Proadas with their heads slightly bowed and their hands over their chests!

Before the palace of Proadas.

On a vast square paved with white stone bricks.

Jiang You stood on the right side of the palace square with several Winged People bodyguards and the leaders of the other races, a gathering numbering several thousand.

The armies of the various races that they had brought were arrayed outside the city.

On the left stood the goblin nobles and officials, led by the goblin Great Sage and High Priest, numbering nearly ten thousand.

In the center of the square, a broad red-carpeted avenue wide enough for four horses to run abreast stretched from outside the palace square to its far end, then continued up nine hundred steps to the palace entrance.

This was the coronation avenue.

Elite goblin soldiers stood in every corner of the square and along both sides of the coronation avenue.

Clad in sturdy armor and bearing sharp weapons, they held spears and short swords, their iron armor gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight!

Solemn and stately!

When the sun reached its highest point in the sky.

Jiang You, standing among the assembled ranks, suddenly heard a loud, ringing proclamation!

"The savior of Ferland, the destroyer of the Titan Giants, the brave and fearless lord of the goblins, the head of the alliance of the continent's races, the great leader Amigel has arrived!"

At the announcement, Jiang You turned to look beyond the square.

He saw several goblin class-holders walking ahead on either side. That voice had clearly come from one of the extraordinary class-holders among them.

Amigel walked in the middle with a commanding stride, his gaze imperious.

Beside him.

Was a female goblin dressed in sumptuous finery.

Behind them.

Was Amigel's entourage of nearly three hundred goblin consorts.

Among these imperial consorts, Jiang You spotted Fiona, the blonde Human Race girl he had met before, at a glance. Her height made her stand out sharply among the female goblins, whose average height was less than one meter forty!

Looking at her now, Jiang You saw how haggard she was. Her vitality had faded considerably, and her lovely face was deeply forlorn, lending her a sickly beauty.

She looked like an entirely different person from the beautiful, confident blonde girl of years past!
