Chapter 439: Ceremony And The Start Of The Rebellion

After the banquet, everyone rested for over an hour before they were invited inside the throne room. This time, only those major forces who had at least one Void God Realm expert in their midst were allowed to go inside. The others who couldn't go in could only shake their heads helplessly. However, they were already satisfied with what they gained in the banquet. After all, they've befriended like-minded forces and some even struck a huge business deal! As for the coronation, they could just watch the ceremony through a visual screen...

The coronation ceremony of the Great Demon Empire wasn't troublesome. The current emperor would just pass his throne to the successor and finalize the ceremony by receiving the blessings of the elders from the Bloodfallen Family, the Lycan Family, and the Torgrim Family. However, everyone knew that the coronation ceremony this time was different. They could sense that a plot was being brewed behind the scenes!

At this moment, Emperor Balmond was seated on his throne with a dignified look on his face. He raised his hand and all his subjects immediately bowed to him with respectful gazes, while the guests cupped their fists to show their respect.

"First, I'd like to thank the guests from all over the continent for coming here to our Great Demon Empire to celebrate the coronation ceremony of my daughter, Cornelia. Our Great Demon Empire hopes that everyone here would be our most trusted allies!" Emperor Balmond said with a smile. His gaze lingered briefly on the spots of the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family.

After that, the Demon Emperor stood up from his throne and waved his sleeves as he said. "Now, please welcome the successor of the Great Demon Empire! My daughter, Cornelia Bloodfallen!"

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Thunderous applause reverberated inside the throne room following the Demon Emperor's words. Everyone turned their gazes towards the elegantly-dressed Cornelia who was slowly ascending the throne. Her every step was filled with grace and the slight movement of her head hips was mixed with seductiveness and charm.

Almost every male inside the throne room was spellbound by her beauty...

Cornelia stopped in front of her father and bowed at him with a smile.

"Cornelia Bloodfallen, I hereby proclaim you as the next ruler of the Great Demon Empire!" Under everyone's watchful gazes, Emperor Balmond took off his golden crown and placed it on top of Cornelia's head.

The golden crown wasn't heavy. In fact, it was very light. However, Cornelia could already feel the burden of wearing it the moment it rested on her head. She took one last look at her father before turning her gaze to everyone.

"Your Majesty!" Emperor Balmond was the first one to offer a bow to the newly crowned Queen. The subjects of the Great Demon Empire soon followed suit and bowed towards the new Queen. Even the guests didn't dare act presumptuously and also lightly bowed their heads.

"Your Majesty Cornelia!"

"Your Majesty Cornelia!"

Demon Emperor Balmond raised his hand and gestured for everyone to quiet down. "Your Majesty, please receive the blessings of the elders from the three founding families of the Great Demon Empire!"

Cornelia nodded her head solemnly. She then walked down the throne and stood in front of three elderly figures. They were the representatives of the three founding families!

The three elders stared at Cornelia and began their speeches one by one. The first one to speak was the elder from the Bloodfallen Family, followed by the Lycan Family, and then the Torgrim Family.

After giving the new ruler their blessings, the three elders bowed at her.

"Your Majesty!"

Just then, something unexpected suddenly happened.

The elders from the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family suddenly pounced towards Cornelia with daggers in their hands!

Cornelia's eyes flashed with a hint of terror, but she didn't move from her spot. She knew that someone was there to protect her! And just as she had predicted, a silhouette dressed like an imperial guard appeared before her and deflected the daggers of the two elders.

Clang! Clang!

To this drastic change of event, some of the guests felt nervous, while a few revealed looks of interest. They knew that the true show was finally starting!

"Insolence! What is the meaning of this?!" Emperor Balmond erupted into fury. His aura made the two elders take several steps backward.

Ren Shuang eyed the spectators with a predatory gaze as he stood beside the newly crowned Queen. He was like a peerless general in that battle armor! Even Cornelia felt her eyes shining as she looked at Ren Shuang's reliable figure.

"The Lycan Family objects! We don't want that succubus to be our new ruler!"

"The Torgrim Family also objects! The ruler of the Great Demon Empire must be someone capable! Why should we follow the leadership of a mere woman?!" The one who spoke was Bylor. He was leading a group of elders from the Torgrim Family.

"That's right! I feel that I am more qualified to become the emperor than this slut of a succubus!" Bylor said with a hideous smile on his face.

"Preposterous! How dare you speak like that to Her Majesty!" The elder of the Bloodfallen Family jumped towards Bylor, but he was blocked by the elders of the Torgrim Family.

Balmond's face was filled with wrath. These idiots from the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family actually dared to ignore his presence?

Just as he was about to strike, two figures suddenly emerged in front of him.

"Herald! Stormhoof!" Balmond muttered through gritted teeth.

Swoosh!

Yue Bo also appeared beside Balmond.

"Balmond. You've become uglier after thousands of years. Hahaha!" Herald cackled deliriously while pointing at Balmond's face.

"Brother Ren, evacuate Cornelia and tell the soldiers to blockade the palace!" Balmond sent a telepathic message to Ren Shuang who immediately nodded his head.

"Let's go.." Ren Shuang grabbed the stunned Cornelia and dragged her out of the throne room. This place would soon become the epicenter of the war!
