In the back passage leading to the hall of the royal council building, the master of ceremonies was fiddling with the wax seal of the scroll in his hand over and over again. The time was approaching and he was a little nervous.

Several close associates of Cohen Keda were gathering in the passage. Major General Moya, who had a calm personality, and Lieutenant General Carlos, the Chief of Staff, were looking at each other calmly. Justice Jack and the Chief Liaison Officer were talking about something in a low voice.

When they came out, these two were the more excited ones. Major General Haiert was walking back and forth in the passage. The sound of faster footsteps echoed with the slight friction of the sword, making the owner slightly anxious.

The mentality is clearly revealed.

The door at the outer end of the passage opened. The smiling Cohen Keda held Princess Qinlun's hand and stepped onto the bright red carpet on the floor of the passage. The straight silver-white waist dress and the sword hanging with him were exactly the same.

, all his high-level medals are adorned on his left chest, and his black hair is neatly combed.

This outfit was truly unprecedentedly formal, and several former friends opened their mouths in surprise.

In their minds, such attire would never appear on Cohen. If it were the previous Cohen, even for his enthronement ceremony, he would at most just show off in his own clothes. If someone persuaded him to wear

If he wears this kind of outfit, then this person must be very extraordinary.

Cohen approached with a smile, took a look at Haiert first, and asked softly: "Arrogant general, are you willing to stand by my side?"

"Yes, I do." Haiert smiled back: "Other positions don't seem suitable for me."

"Then let's go!" Cohen led the way toward the hall, patting all his partners on the shoulders one by one on the way. The partners smiled and nodded, following behind Cohen and several internal affairs supervisors.

The master of ceremonies hurriedly ran to the door of the hall and waved his hand outward. Dozens of trombonists from the Royal Orchestra blew their trombones at the same time. A loud and passionate trombone sound echoed over the palace. Finally, the orchestra conductor

End with a strong gesture.

There was silence in the main palace square. Thousands of people held their breath and stared at the door of the hall. As announced in the notice in advance, the magic barrier over the palace lit up, and a soft white light enveloped the entire palace and the Holy Capital.

All the subjects knew that the crowning ceremony had begun.

"The enthronement ceremony of His Majesty Emperor Cohen Keda, the seventeenth emperor of the Sibia Empire, has begun!" the master of ceremonies announced standing at the door of the main hall, and the loud voice spread to every corner of the palace: "His Majesty the Emperor, please accept the crown!"

The president of the Royal Academy arranged his clothes and walked slowly to the center of the platform. Behind him were the cardinal priests from the Paradise Island Temple and the ceremonial officer holding a tray. A large piece of bright red gold velvet was spread on the tray.

Above it is placed the emperor's crown that countless people are crazy about. The hundreds of gems inlaid in the crown are shining with dreamlike and dazzling light under the sunlight.

The Royal Orchestra once again played majestic music. Cohen Keda walked out of the hall step by step with his hand on the hilt of his sword and a solemn expression. The embroidery thread on his dress reflected the sunlight, and his long cloak was dragged behind him.

In this way, step by step, he walked into the eyes of thousands of people and became the focus of everyone's attention.

Almost half of the people watching the ceremony had never seen this young emperor. At this moment, they couldn't compare the black-haired, black-eyed, majestic man in front of them with the "gangster" in their memory.

The images of "Governor" and "Rogue General" are combined. The other half of the people who are familiar with Cohen Keda are also surprised. Is this piercing-eyed monarch really the former Commander Cohen?

Arriving in front of Dean Lorenzo, Cohen stopped and stared at the white-haired old man with peaceful eyes. Three princes, four internal affairs supervisors, and several of the most important ministers of the empire were all standing at this moment.

Behind Cohen.

The music subsided and the sound transmission magic began to take effect.

"As the chief mentor of the Isbia Empire, I ask this question on behalf of all the citizens." At this solemn moment, Steve Lorenzo felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. Tears rolled in his eyes and he was almost unable to speak: "Cohen

·Keda, are you ready to take on the responsibilities of an emperor?"

"I'm ready." Cohen nodded and replied in a calm tone.

"Will you lead all the people and continue to lead them without leaving anyone behind?" Steve Lorenzo's voice was trembling.

"Yes, he is my citizen and I will not abandon him." Cohen nodded again.

"Under the gaze of the representatives of the gods, and under the witness of everyone here, on behalf of all the citizens, I hand over the rights of the emperor to you. This is a huge honor, and it is also an arduous responsibility." The dean turned sideways and said

Holding the crown in the tray with both hands: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please accept your crown."

Cohen lowered his head slightly and asked the dean to put the crown on him. When he really felt the weight of the metal, no one noticed the confusion flashing in his eyes.

"From now on, you will officially become the seventeenth emperor of the Sibia Empire." Tiff Lorenzo took back his hand: "Please work hard for the Sibia Empire!"

"This is my obligation." Cohen nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Dean."

After listening to Cohen's answer, the dean's throat choked up, and an old tear fell uncontrollably from the corner of his eye... The Sbia Empire stood up again in an extremely dangerous situation, and those who had never faced it together with Cohen

It is difficult for people to understand the hardships involved.

"His Majesty the Emperor has accepted the crown!" The dean took a step back and continued to perform his mission. He bent one leg and knelt on the carpet: "See His Majesty the Emperor!"

"See His Majesty the Emperor!" The officials on the platform knelt down.

"See His Majesty the Emperor!" The people in the square knelt down.

The magic barrier above the Royal Palace turned into a dazzling golden yellow. This was a signal for His Majesty the Emperor to accept the crown. Residents from all over the Holy City simultaneously shouted "Long live His Majesty the Emperor" and knelt down facing the Royal Palace. On the streets of the Holy Capital.

, in various squares, except for soldiers on duty and foreign envoys, no one was standing.

The whole of Sbia pays tribute to Cohen Keda at this moment.

In a secluded corner of the square, Crow wearing white armor was also watching this scene silently. His eyes were surprisingly calm at the moment, and less than ten arms away behind him, there was an archway leading to the road out of the palace.

Looking at the crowds of people kneeling on the ground from near to far in the field of vision, looking at their lowered heads, a strange feeling filled Cohen's heart. He knew that from this moment on, he could decide the fate of these people.

Life or death, you can decide everything about these people! As long as you want, you can do whatever you want...

After a while, Cohen's eyes slowly returned. He took off his gloves and bent down to help Steve Lorenzo.

"You have been devoting your efforts to the restoration of the empire. As a thank you for your selfless help, I grant you the right not to kneel on any occasion in the future." After saying this to the dean, Cohen raised his eyes and looked at the square.

The crowd on the stage raised their voices a little: "Dear ladies, you are also free!"

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor."

"Your Majesty, please come forward and speak." The dean stood up straight: "Everyone is looking forward to it."

Cohen turned his head and smiled at Princess Qinlun. Princess Qinlun, whose eyes were shining, didn't care what the occasion was. She jumped up to Cohen and was picked up by him, walking along the carpet to the edge of the platform.

In the square, thousands of people looked forward to the emperor's speech.

"For this solemn moment today, my clerk spent half a month preparing a speech for me." Cohen stopped at the edge of the platform and said this puzzling statement in a clear voice.

Opening line: "My clerk has outstanding literary talent, and the manuscript he wrote is unmatched by anyone, but I don't want to read it according to it... because what is written in the manuscript is not what I want to say now."

After listening to the emperor's words, half of the people in the square smiled knowingly, because the familiar Chief Cohen in their memories was back! Not following the pre-arranged steps was one of Chief Cohen's characteristics.

Even the crow far away in the corner of the square showed a smile on his face covered by a helmet. Although his eyes were on Cohen, his footsteps slowly moved towards the arch behind him... Cohen on the platform was holding his arms

Xiaoqin Lun, it's so similar to the last time we broke up, but after breaking up this time, is there any chance to meet again?

"At this moment, I am standing here, and I may be the only one who knows what I feel in my heart. I have thought a lot, and no one can fully understand it." Cohen's eyes scanned the square, and Princess Qinlun hugged his neck.

, with a blushing face. Holding a little girl not only did not undermine Cohen's majesty, but actually added a bit of kindness to his temperament: "But no matter what, I am very happy because you are standing by my side."

, stand on my left and right, stand around me, you give me strength!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" the first cheers sounded, sweeping the audience uncontrollably!

No matter which camp the audience belongs to, they are very happy to hear His Majesty the Emperor's affirmation of themselves, especially His Majesty Cohen's impromptu speech. This should be the most genuine thought in His Majesty's heart... They were deeply attracted by His Majesty the Emperor's words.

Cohen raised his hand slightly to ask everyone to quiet down.

"While having this joy, I also feel very sorry. I deeply regret for those partners who can no longer stand by my side! They are so outstanding. Everyone who has stood by my side is unique and unique.

It may be replaced." At this point, Cohen's words paused: "This crown was obtained by countless partners who fought for their lives. I am very heartbroken to lose them. The joy and regret pile up layer by layer. This is what it means to be an emperor.

Feel!"

The people in the square were a little confused. Most people felt that they could not fully understand the emperor's words. The past events came to mind, and everyone felt differently. In the gap between His Majesty's speech, people whispered to each other.

, try to figure out the emperor’s thoughts.

"At this moment, outside the palace, outside the Holy Capital City, on the land of Sibia, there are tens of millions of citizens. I know they are looking at me. This responsibility of the emperor drives me forward and always

Move forward." Cohen suddenly raised his voice: "At this time, where will you stand?"

"Stand beside His Majesty the Emperor!" a loud shout echoed in the square.

"We have experienced many difficulties, and with everyone's strength, we have survived. I know that in the days to come, the empire will definitely experience difficulties again." Cohen raised his voice again: "At such a time, you have to

Where do you stand?”

"Stand beside His Majesty the Emperor!" Countless clenched fists were waving in the crowd.

"Standing next to me, you may lose a lot. I don't know what I can give you. The only thing I can promise you now is my sincere friendship." Cohen raised his hand to quiet the crowd: "Even so.

, you will never regret it!"

"Never regret it!" The crowd shouted one after another, overlapping one after another, forming a huge wave of sound, which was no less powerful than a charge on the battlefield.

"Remember what you said today. You will always stand by my side and become my partner. I will treat you sincerely!" Cohen nodded, looked at the corner of the square, and cast his eyes on the crow who was about to exit the arch, and said in a deep voice.

: "We will create a tomorrow that belongs to the Sbia Empire! A tomorrow that belongs to us!"

"Always loyal to the emperor!" shouted louder in the square, the band played music again, and flower petals and ribbons were flying in the air. In the warm atmosphere, people waved their hands, and some threw their hats into the sky.

Amid the deafening response, Cohen's gaze passed through the colorful ribbons flying in the sky, causing the crow to stop in its tracks.

Crow is a person who is not used to living with others. For him, loneliness is like a shadow that always accompanies him. If he hadn't met Cohen, he wouldn't even have a friend. Although he is a top killer, in a certain

He is extremely strong in some aspects, but this strength is not impeccable... It can be said that somewhere in Crow's heart is extremely fragile.

That instinct drove him to avoid all this, avoid the warm atmosphere in the square, and avoid the familiar yet unfamiliar friend standing on the platform at the moment. With just one step, just one more step back, he could leave the palace, and he could still

You can force yourself to forget all this.

But the past events with Cohen and Qin Lun kept flashing in his memory. Those happy and warm moments, no pressure, no blood, just a smile as bright as the sun... Before that, he didn't even
To be continued...
