We were in a different hall this time it was more spacious than the last one. It was like a public hall where the public announcements were made. All the lords were sitting in front of the stage in a straight horizontal line in equality as everyone should be. There were people too who were standing in the back and were cheering my name.
Kai Reid the hope! Long live the king!!
All hail to the king!!! Dead doom! Dead doom! Dead doom!!
"Ugghhh! Uggah!" The archpriest cleared her throat, and she spoke in some kind of magic item that amplified her voice.
"My Lords and ladies, my people! Today we all are gathered here for a particular reason! And that is the "Coronation ceremony," and for another announcement!" the archpriest's voice had some kind of power that made anything she says believable.
"My lord, may you come to the throne and place your hand above this holy flame."
The throne was made of silver and platinum, rubies were embedded in the throne's metal splat. It had a devil figure with a pointy tail on the left ear of the throne and on the right, a serpent figure was there.
I moved forward and placed my hand over the flame; it was a blue-colored flame that was not hot at all.
"Your grace, please answers these questions severely:"
"Do You swear to guard this kingdom against the eyes of evil and do you swear to preserve the peace?"
"I swear."
"Do you swear to cast aside all the selfish ambition and to pledge yourself only to the good of the realm?"
"I swear."
"I Ruhough, Highest Archpriest of the kingdom in the light of the holy leviathan sphere proclaims you the new leviathan king."
As she finished her sentence, people started cheering. All the lords bowed down in order to pay respec. I felt like a true king. But, when I thought everything was over, the archpriest asked everyone to maintain the silence for the next announcement.
"Everyone who lives in this kingdom knows about the holy trident war! Until now, we were powerless because we lacked a representative, but now we're again powerful because of our new king!"
The Archpriest was talking about something I did not know about; I was listening to everything she said. but, I was not understanding anything. Still; I made a face as I know about the whole thing.
"And this time it feels like fate is with us, the "champion of hell" tournament is being held in our domain! Our guest will be here soon!!! And this time we will show them who the real boss is!!"
The archpriest was full of enthusiasm, but it was not just her everywhere my sight went, all the people I saw were charged with energy, that gave me goosebumps.
I had many questions brewing inside my mind. What is the holy trident war, what's the fuck is the champion of hell? Who were the new guests?
It was too much for my brain to handle, but I didn't let it show on my face.
"My majesty, our guests will arrive by tomorrow I hope you'll get along with them!" The archpriest finished her speech and approached and passed a smile to me and I moved my head in agreement. Meanwhile, I had no fucking clue about it. I had to ask someone about it privately because asking the priest directly felt a bit embarrassing.
The ceremony ended with me as the new leviathan king. I felt like nothing big happened, but I knew something big was about to happen. I wanted to just sulk a little more, but then a quote from a superhero movie clicked my brain.
"With great powers comes, great responsibilities, haha."
I was just wondering about all of this when I saw Rose walking somewhere I guessed she could answer a few of my answers, so I called her name out loud, and as she heard her name out of nowhere she got surprised and messed the work she was doing. she was 10x clumsy than me.
"Y-yes!! Your grace, wh-what can I do for you?" she spoke in a stuttered tone.
"I have a favor to ask!"
"Ff-favor! I won't strip!! Master, please show mercy on this maiden!" She was still bothered by the joke I made in the morning. She was flushed and embarrassed.
"Aahhh! Don't say that out loud in public. People will call me the pervert king instead of the leviathan king!" I yelled at her while looking at the surroundings so nobody knows about what she said.
"What I wanted to ask is who are the people or the guests who are coming to our palace?" I asked Rose in an embarrassed manner.
"You don't know! What are you talking about?"
"Don't make me feel more embarrassed!! Tell me already, okay?"
"The guests who are arriving are "The Princes of Seraphim."
