Lucien remained standing there wondering all of this is just a dream. His dream has always been to become the emperor of the Fotia empire but this is not how he wanted it to happen. He was prepared to enter in a few years struggle with emperor Fei until the old man accepts defeat and concedes. Lucien never expected it to just get handed over to him and at least not by these people but he found it reasonable. As the only one who has succeeded in killing a pillar of the creed, it is safe to say he is on par with the other emperor's if not slightly stronger. Putting him up as the poster boy of the Fotia empire will make many people reluctant to attack the empire or its inhabitants. They were planning to use his fame and strength as a shield but Lucien was more amused than they were.
Did these people really think he has a chance against a champion realm expert with an anomaly? They overestimate him!
