"Carry it to the top of the altar!"
"Heave-ho! Heave-ho!"
Accompanied by heavy breathing, eight strong Ogres struggled to carry a massive, heavy metal box, appearing at the end of the road.
Step by step, they ascended the stairs, climbing to the top of the altar. With combined effort, they opened the box and then knelt down.
Instantly, golden light burst forth from the box, prompting gasps from the admiring crowd. There lay the Crown, fully made of Mithril, inlaid with various exquisite gems, shimmering under the sunlight.
That was the Supreme True Dragon Diadem.
Suddenly, a question arose in the hearts of the onlookers. According to tradition, the emperor needed someone to crown him; even the "Sun King" Aragon the First of the Holy Fadlan Federation was crowned by the Archbishop of the Amanata Church at that time.
Who here had the qualification to crown this "Ashen Empire's Emperor" Cassius?
