It's ironic.
After the death of the previous King Noah, the people of Noah had been holding a succession ceremony for two months, and yet the ceremony had not ended, nor had a successor been determined.
Kafney and her uncle and aunt were still fiercely struggling behind the scenes—meanwhile, this hadn't even affected the normal operation of the Kingdom of Noah.
On the night of Duke Ivan's draconic transformation, Annan had completed his succession ceremony without any hindrance.
When Annan succeeded to the throne, his brothers and sisters hadn't even had time to return home.
Even so, there were no incidents during the transfer of power... after all, those who actually controlled the country were not so much the ministers or the dukes but rather the Hands of Winter.
The main job of a duke was only to make decisions on the general direction.
