Chapter 1865: New King Crowned

The banquet that shocked the entire Holy City ended at 2:00 AM. The guests had basically left the Roland Flower Manor.

The banquet hall was filled with the smell of alcohol and tobacco. Several maids were lowering their heads, and among them was a drunken young man. Beside him, a gentle-looking woman was supporting him, with a soft smile on her face.

"Why doesn't he believe me? I helped him kill so many people. Silna, you tell me, what did I do wrong? You tell me."

Zos, with a flushed face, mumbled. The woman supporting him patted his back.

"You have already done very well..."

"No, why doesn't he become the new king, just give up like this? I can't accept it! If he doesn't do it, I will follow someone who is willing to be the new king."

Zos's voice grew louder and louder.

"Zos, you're drunk,"

The woman supporting Zos turned pale. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be her future husband. Although it was a political marriage, she didn't want to become a widow.

"I'm not drunk, hahaha, Silna, do you know what it feels like to betray a demon? I feel it, I'm shaking, I'm shaking, hahaha..."

"It will be fine. We cannot choose our destiny, but we must find a way to make it better."

"..."

Zos was stunned when he heard this, and his drunken eyes looked at his fiancée. This was the first time he had looked at her squarely.

"You won't understand, that person is..."

A snoring sound came from Zos's mouth. Silna sighed, and several maids cooperated with her to support Zos.

On the other side of the banquet hall, Sayeto held a glass of red wine, her gaze looking at Zos who was being supported away.

"My lord, is this guy really credible?"

An old man looking like a butler spoke.

"Of course... not credible, but if we don't accept him, we won't be able to win over any of the people on that side. Sleep, there's a lot to do tomorrow."

Although Sayeto looked worried, she was actually truly at ease at this moment. If Wu Fu and the Minister of Finance had defected to her side, that would have been the worst situation. Right now, this was the most normal and best-controlled situation.

Zos was supported out of the banquet hall. If one observed carefully, one could find that the drunkenness in his eyes was half-true and half-false.

"Silna."

Zos looked at the woman supporting him with a full smile, feeling her soft body, he felt somewhat hot and dry.

"Let's go to my place. I have a property in the west of the city."

Silna's face was also somewhat flushed. After stopping a carriage, she supported Zos into the carriage.

Zos's face was about to bloom with laughter. He knew this was a honey trap, but why wouldn't he take advantage of a woman he could play with for free?

The Holy City looked calm, but in reality, undercurrents were surging. Who would support whom, and who would betray whom, all this was unknown, but all officials knew that the sky was about to change. The new king was about to be crowned, tomorrow.

Bang!

Fireworks exploded in the sky. 2,000 Holy City guards formed a queue. Wherever they passed, human walls formed on both sides of the street, blocking the countless commoners on both sides.

Princess Sayeto sat in an iron-silver carriage, the windows on all sides of the carriage wide open, allowing the commoners to see the appearance of the new king.

The Royal Guard had to circle half the city. This was set by the Black King initially, meaning to let the people see the king's appearance, so that the king was with them, rather than always being high above.

The streets of the Holy City were semi-blocked. Today, the catering and entertainment industries in the Holy City were completely free, and the expenses were paid by the Empire, so the streets were unusually lively. One could often see commoners holding a wooden wine glass, waiting for the new king to pass by on the street.

And in the royal palace at the very center of the Holy City, those black-armored soldiers had all withdrawn. The new king they were waiting for was about to arrive, and their mission was about to end.

The main gate of the front hall of the royal palace was wide open, the inside had been cleaned up, and it had been decorated magnificently in just one night.

The Overlord-class creature, Queen Spider, had disappeared, those black-armored giants had also disappeared, and the Black Wang Zuo in the middle hall was empty.

In front of the hall, Su Xiao glanced at the guards on both sides of the path. These were all soldiers under Sayeto.

Wu Fu and the Minister of Finance stood behind Su Xiao, while the Old Shaman was at the front hall, and as the Right Imperial of the Black King, he was most suitable to preside over the new king's coronation.

"Why hasn't the person arrived yet?"

Wu Fu patted his head. He had drunk too much last night.

"Have to circle half the city first. Reading more books is good for you, Wu Fu."

The Minister of Finance spoke with a serious expression. Although it was a mockery, Wu Fu didn't feel it.

"Walking a monkey? Circling half the city."

Wu Fu rubbed his eyes. He saw double now.

"Even if it were walking a monkey, it wouldn't be walked that far, at least I wouldn't."

"Be serious."

Su Xiao spoke, and Wu Fu and the Minister of Finance both lowered their heads.

After waiting for a full three hours, until the Old Shaman couldn't help but look out at the front hall door, the mighty team arrived.

"Wu Fu, where is the crown?"

The Old Shaman looked at Wu Fu.

"Crown?"

Wu Fu was a bit dazed.

"This morning, didn't I ask you to keep it?"

The Old Shaman's face turned blue. He seemed to have made a wrong decision. The crown had always been with him before, but he had too many things to deal with this morning, and he didn't want to bring the crown too close to the Black Wang Zuo, so he handed the crown to Wu Fu for safekeeping.

"Did you?"

Sweat also came down on Wu Fu's face, and he was more than half sober. Today Sayeto was crowning the new king, but before she sat on the Black Wang Zuo, the crown was lost first. That would be a big joke.

"It's with me. Why is this thing so cold?"

The Minister of Finance reached behind his waist and pulled out an iron-black crown.

The Old Shaman stepped forward and took it, carrying the crown with one hand and entering the front hall.

This scene all fell into the eyes of the guards in front of the hall. Their mouths were slightly open, and their cheeks or corners of their mouths were twitching violently. The new king's coronation seemed a bit different from what they thought.

Soon, the Royal Guard arrived at the front hall. All the soldiers knelt on one knee. On the carriage, Sayeto, wearing a long black coat with silver silk outlining patterns, stood up. Black represents royal power, silver silk represents eternal power, and those patterns symbolize the people, territory, and army.

Sayeto looked at the front hall. She often came here when she was young, but since the death of the Black King, she hadn't seen this palace for at least a dozen years.

Sayeto stepped on the black carpet and walked toward the front hall step by step. Wherever she passed, all soldiers and officials knelt on the ground until she reached the front of the hall.

Sayeto, wearing royal ceremonial clothes, looked at Su Xiao. Her gaze was suspicious, and more of it was wary.

"Kneel down."

Su Xiao spoke with a smile. Sayeto sneered and knelt on one knee. She was representing respect for the former king.

The Old Shaman walked out of the front hall and put the iron-black crown on Sayeto's head. Sayeto felt the weight of the crown and also felt that the crown was a bit cold.

A moment later, Sayeto stood up and stepped into the front hall, walking toward the middle hall. Along a long corridor, she saw the Black Wang Zuo.

Sayeto walked toward the royal power step by step. As long as she sat on the Black Wang Zuo, all worries would vanish. She would become the Black King, the legitimate king. At that time, even if Su Xiao mastered finance and military power, he would not be her opponent at all.

As Sayeto moved forward, she was followed by several officials loyal to her. Zos stopped at the front hall; he was not qualified to continue forward.

It was just that Zos's standing posture was a bit strange. He covered his waist with one hand, his face full of spring breeze.

"Brat."

Su Xiao walked past Zos, and the hilt of his sword "accidentally" bumped into Zos's waist. Zos gasped.

"My kidney~"

Although Zos was grinning in pain, his gaze was looking around. If an "accident" occurred, he had to kill all the guards in front of the door in the shortest time, and then close the hall door. ===== CHAPTER 1866 =====
