"Huh?"
Crocus was so damn surprised. He couldn't react. In just a second, he was ready to murder them all, including children, but now? He didn't know what to think.
"Congratulations, your highness."
Greed interrupted him from his thoughts. When Crocus awakened from his stupor, he still couldn't believe it. His blood was pumping fast, but he was not showing it to everyone.
"ALL HAIL THE KING!"
"ALL HAIL THE KING!"
"ALL HAIL THE KING!"
Everyone cheered on him. Others didn't, but because most of them were shouting, they also shouted.
Crocus heaves a sigh of relief.
'Am I underestimating myself? Maybe... As long as I have might, I'm sure everyone will follow me.'
Crocus believed with pride. However, when he suddenly thought of the building to work in, he suddenly felt mixed feelings. No matter how loud and eager they cheered, he still had to choose five human innocents to sacrifice in the building to work as fuel.
