63 The coronation ceremony (4)

The brilliance is an arc line.

Unlike the other five generations, the location of the Akrain was unique.

A small garden that exists in the center of the capital and around the Hwangseong Fortress.

Akrain named one of these gardens Mt. Gwangwi, and built a family over it.

Therefore, the main gate of the Brilliant Street overlooking the entire capital except for the Imperial Palace.

There, the two knights guarding the gate were looking down at the road that stretched from the family to the bottom of the mountain with bored eyes.

“ I must be working in the morning on a day like today… … .”

“ That’s it. Would you like to start by now?”

To the words of the knight with thick eyebrows next to him, the knight with a hawk nose answered with a voice full of regret.

“ I heard from an acquaintance who said that this coronation ceremony would be truly spectacular. The crowds that have gathered in the capital from the past few days have already surpassed the time of the founding, right?”

“ Even the congratulatory envoys from the third generation already said that they were one corps. Perhaps the best ever? Even before the war, it’s like this… … It was a pity that I couldn’t see the minister.”

“ My words. But do you know that? From this coronation ceremony as a starting point, the power of our Akrain may become even stronger.”

“ What? What does that mean?”

Thick eyebrows with a puzzled face.

“ I have only heard the words spoken by superiors as they passed by, but it is probably related to His Majesty Zion, who was enthroned this time… … .”

Maburiko’s words in reply to him did not continue to the end.

No, you were right to say that you didn’t.

“ Come on, you… … on the body… … !”

A single red solid line drawn from his crown to his crotch.

Wow!

Because his body was split in half along that solid line.

Then, seeing a person appearing from behind a shattered corpse, the pupils with thick eyebrows begin to expand to the point that they cannot grow any longer.

“ Everyone, you!”

A red-eyed woman looking at him with an eerie smile.

The moment the thick eyebrows recognize that the woman is the ‘Red Witch’, one of Prince Zion’s henchmen, quadruped!

His head just disappeared.

The witch, who took care of the guards in such an instant, looked at the main gate of the Akrain family and smiled even more deeply.

“ Would you like to eat after a long time?”

That moment,

slurp!

Something bright red from Riusina began to cover the entire arc line.

* * *

Zion was meticulous and planned.

Therefore, the command I gave now to erase all noble families was not a decision made on the fly.

The list that I recently entrusted to find out everything from the shadows of eons and the eyes of the moon.

All the names on the list were nobles of the aristocracy.

“ Static assassinations, tax extortion, confidential leaks, slave trade, imperial deception… … There is so much written on it that I can’t even read it.”

From the beginning, they were so rotten that they could not be saved.

‘ The structure of the nobility faction is actually composed of upper nobles called nobles and numerous unnamed lower nobles who serve them.’

This time, what Shion decided to organize was among them, Akrain and other high-ranking nobles.

Insect-like bastards who only eat the country without any help.

It wasn’t worth saving at all.

Even if the brilliance Akrain was a family founded by one of the five kings who were his subordinates in the past when Zion himself was in the Eternal Age.

If he reveals this to himself, it was the tendency of Zion, or Orrelion, of the Eternal Age, to pull out the root and completely remove the root of the root.

Not only those who are here, but also their families, the servants he sent must already be attacking them.

“ This cannot be! This could be… … !”

The nobles, including Rufeld, resisted the siege that was tightening around them, but they were not strong enough to begin with, so they quickly began to be subdued.

The nobles of the aristocratic faction kneel down one by one in front of the podium where Zion is standing, regardless of the doctor.

“ My Majesty, Diena!”

Rufeld cried out as if begging as he looked at Diena, whom he had been with for a while, but Diena’s eyes looking at him were unbearably cold.

It was because they were together from the beginning because of their mutual interests, and now, after all those interests have disappeared.

Therefore, Diena had no regrets about the Akrain family.

And in fact, even if she had regrets, there was nothing she could do at this place.

Zion already held all the real power, and Diena was also in a position to be swayed by Zion’s words.

“ Wow!”

Rufeld, who finally gave up asking for help from those around him, was forced to kneel and opened his mouth, staring at Shion.

“ You will regret it, Your Majesty. You will regret killing me like this now!”

A muffled voice emanating from his distorted face.

Shion, who lowered his body and made eye contact with him, asked with a smile that made his spine chill just by looking at him.

“ Regret? What do I regret?”

“ I guess I will say that… … !”

“ Where are you guys hiding the Empire’s budget so far? Are you preparing to hand over the military secrets of the Empire to the Magician? To prepare for a situation like this one, planted a large magic bomb under the Imperial Castle?”

Every word that came out of Shion’s mouth, Rufeld’s face began to turn whiter and whiter.

“ Hey, how… … .”

How the hell did you find out?

Rufeldt was no fool.

Therefore, if the negotiations failed, he had prepared several devices to intimidate the Emperor of Zion.

But none of these devices were flowing out of Zion’s mouth, one after another, and it felt as if they were sticking out their necks naked in front of a guillotine.

“ Because my ‘eyes’ are a bit competent.”

That moment,

thud!

“ Sa, please save me, Your Majesty the Emperor!”

Is it because everything about him is exposed?

Rufeld banged his head strongly on the floor and began to plead with Zion.

“ From now on, I will never go unnoticed by Your Majesty, and I will live like a dead mouse! If I would give all my fortune, I would give it to you! If I could defend my whole life against monsters on the northern frontiers, I would! Please live… … .”

It was as if he was about to give up everything he had achieved so far, but there was no hesitation in Rufeld’s eyes.

Because once life was saved, the future could be promised.

However, as soon as he heard Zion’s words that followed, he could understand.

“ If you want to live, you should have done well earlier.”

That there is no such thing as mercy for the man in front of him.

Especially when it comes to enemies who reveal this to themselves.

That moment,

“ aah!”

Whoa ah ah ah!

A white light burst out from Rufeld’s whole body, along with a scream that sounded like a scream.

A method left as a last resort in case of a 0.01% chance.

In an instant, a beam of light in the form of a sharp spear shot straight toward Zion.

“ Your Majesty!”

Was it because it was literally the speed of light?

The knights around him reacted late, but the light spear that Rufeld had already created had reached right in front of Zion.

However,

“ Ah… … .”

The bright singer-songwriter’s eyes, which had shone upon seeing him, began to be colored with despair again.

The last blow he fired.

The spear of light formed by that effort,

Grump!

It was because I was shaking in front of Zion’s eyes, unable to move any further.

Around such a window, the darkness that had subsided all of a sudden shook as if it were alive.

“ I’m not going to add another charge. Attempted assassination of the emperor.”

Shion, who drew a ceremonial sword along with a recitation without any emotion, was sulky!

Rufeld’s head was cut off.

Could it have been a signal?

Suga, go, go!

Then, the knights in front swing their swords and start slashing the necks of the kneeling nobles.

The front of the podium is dyed red because of the blood that has flowed from him.

A heavy silence descends among the people who look at it.

The eyes of people who are constantly shaking with fear.

In fact, they knew.

Due to the character of Emperor Zion, whom I have seen so far, I hope that one day a wind of blood will blow within the empire.

However, even they did not think that they would move so quickly, perhaps as soon as the coronation ceremony was held.

That’s why I had no choice but to stare at him with trembling eyes, without any reaction.

“ I don’t want you to forget either.”

Shion’s eyes turned to such people and curves in a graceful curve.

“ It’s not that I don’t know what you guys are doing, it’s that I just close my eyes.”

It was a warning.

A warning that the head will be blown at any time as soon as the line is crossed.

‘ Tyrant… … That too, the tyrant with the strongest power in history ascended the throne.’

It was a common thought that popped into the minds of all those who bowed their heads deeply toward such Zion.

But at the same time, they felt a strange sense of relief.

The present empire is so chaotic due to various disasters along with the great war that is just around the corner.

Because such an empire might need more than a tyrant who devours everything with overwhelming charisma rather than a tyrant who embraces the country with benevolence and mercy.

“… … His Majesty the Emperor of Zion, long live!”

Then, a cry came out of someone’s mouth.

His Majesty the Emperor Zion, long live!!

Such a cry spreads through the people and begins to fill the interior of the Deungseonggung Palace.

And so the blood-stained coronation ceremony ended.

* * *

The purge of noble families, which began with the coronation ceremony, proceeded smoothly.

Both the cause and the power were on this side, so they could not even resist, so they had no choice but to be helpless.

It’s ridiculous that they tried to threaten Shion with that kind of power in the first place.

‘ Well, even they wouldn’t have known that the third generation of apocryphal and other royal families supported me.’

Shion thought so and looked at the paper in front of him.

Due to this large-scale purge, many vacancies were created inside the imperial castle, and the names of candidates to fill those vacancies were written on the paper.

‘ It wouldn’t be a bad idea to put the guys I’ve been thinking about for a while here.’

Those who have good abilities, but do not shine because of their background and existing vested interests.

When Shion raises the teacup, recalling their names from the chronicles,

“ Hey, did Rufeld Akrain make such an offer?”

Fredo, who was pouring coffee from the other people next to him, looked at Thierry in front of him with a surprised expression.

“ Yes, it is not enough to threaten His Majesty. He deserved death.”

Thierry, who nodded at him, turned his head to Shion and opened his mouth again in a subtly tone.

“ But, Your Majesty, now that your Majesty has ascended to the throne, how about thinking about the Empress as well?”

At Thierry’s words, the ears of those around him, not Zion, began to prick.

It was because I was so curious as to who would take the side of that overwhelming, non-human ruler, and some had a slightly different mind.

“ The Empress… … .”

Thierry, who spoke first, was the first to break the luck at Shion’s murmuring.

“ It would not be a bad idea to consider it among the three generations of people, just like the previous emperor did. They say they have sworn allegiance to His Majesty, but there is no more certain relationship than marriage.”

Wolhaun, who pretended not to be interested in the words, turned his head, but was paying all his hearing to the conversation, secretly clenched his fists.

Originally, she had to return immediately after the coronation ceremony was over, but she was staying in the Imperial Castle with various excuses.

at that time,

“ Your Majesty in the past, when talking about him, he said you must first be qualified to stand by your side.”

Aileen, whose eyes were clear under her eyes, opened her mouth as if she had been up all night for the past few days.

“ So, wouldn’t it be appropriate to focus on those with the same abilities? Of course, I don’t know how many… … .”

At Eileen’s remarks, the eyes of the hero Claire Flosimar, who was planning the future on one side this time, shone strangely.

“ What do you mean, the seat next to the owner is already decided by me, who even has souls intertwined with each other!”

Liusina, who was flirting with the Frost Spirit, Sephir, who returned to his new form next to him, exclaimed with a playful smile.

Of course, there was no way to know if that was the truth or not.

“ How was your Majesty? Does anyone have any ideas?”

Maybe it’s because it’s no use talking to each other for a hundred days anyway.

Fredo, who had freshly filled an empty teacup with coffee, asked Shion.

“ I… … .”

Shion, who was thinking about something, slowly began to open her mouth.
