Chapter 29
She heard a loud voice outside the door which Dana immediately recognised as Oldman Zhao, "Dana! Wake up, Kaiden is about to conduct his coronation on becoming the new Emperor and you will miss it! Is your sleep more important than that?" Oldman Zhao questioned believing Dana will not sacrifice such an event which she has supporting Kaiden considerably for just to slumber all day in bed. Unfortunately, Dana had the complete opposite reaction from what Oldman Zhao would expect, upon hearing the "important event" she directly turned around dozing off back to sleep, so that's the important news? Obviously, I will choose sleep over a variety of drawn-out ramblings of old men and another one of Kaiden's long boring speeches mumbled Dana.
After hearing not even a response from Dana this entire time, he finally lost his patience. Oldman Zhao cannot be late for the coronation as he is one of the "rambling old men" Dana was thinking of which took part in Kaiden ascension to the thrown ceremony, with Oldman Zhao not wanting his disciple to have the biggest regret in her life for missing out on witnessing her Master's partic.i.p.ation in the ceremony alongside something in which she worked so hard to achieve he smashed open the door to Dana's room, seeing Dana still sprawled out on the bed without even showing the slightest hint of getting up, Oldman Zhao rushed towards her dragging a displeased Dana of the bed.
"Hey, Oldman what are you doing? Do you know the health risks in disturbing an individuals sleep? I could get sleep deprivation or something." As Dana attempts to come up with a reasonable excuse to go back to sleep, however, Oldman Zhao is taking none of it!
"Listen, girl, if you go back to sleep I know you will deeply regret your decision, look how hard you worked to make Kaiden Emperor if you miss the coronation you will become disappointed later because of your current lack of judgement!'" Exclaimed Oldman Zhao.
Whilst imagining the deeply heart-broken look on Dana's later on because of her missing the ceremony, steered Oldman Zhao's resolve to push her into going. So, immediately he hurriedly has gotten a disgruntled looking Dana thirty minutes later into a beautiful-looking dress, making Dana's appearance look like an immortal fairy descending into the mortal world. Unfortunately, the image she previously portrayed
If Oldman Zhao knew the true reason on why Dana wanted to dispose of the Azure Emperor, then maybe he would know why Dana's didn't look too excited upon being forced to attend the ceremony.
As Dana alongside Oldman Zhao soon arrived at the ceremony, she saw a large crowd of n.o.bles from the various families around the Azure Empire, the moment Dana entered the original lively atmosphere instantly became silent. Gasps of awe emerge from the n.o.bles upon witnessing Dana's peerless appearance, seeing Dana beside Oldman Zhao they knew this was likely the individual which defeated the Azure Emperor single-handedly! Many were in doubt upon seeing the claim from Kaiden and the other n.o.bles which support him that his sole backer was an eighteen-year-old girl which can fully defeat the Azure Emperor, they soon removed these suspicions upon seeing Dana's aura, as Dana was not even bothering to hide her cultivation besides intentionally releasing her aura showing to those present the clear superiority compared to the Azure Emperor. Dana did this as it was showcasing her strength, showing that Kaiden has powerful support to rely upon so she can remove the threat of some foolish individuals making a move towards Kaiden.
Seeing such an unparalleled girl made many n.o.bles frown in displeasure at the sheer luck Kaiden has! To have such a woman even for one night they would sacrifice their right hands, but upon looking at Kaiden's pretty boy looks they deemed it as Kaiden fooling her because of her innocence! d.a.m.n, why couldn't they have run into her before Kaiden, they don't believe they are any times inferior compared to him being it in looks or talent!
Despite this thinking, deep down many would know this is incorrect as these n.o.bles had much better resources than birth and would have started cultivation much earlier than Kaiden not to mention contain a higher quality cultivation method, thus Kaiden talent is actually many times better than there's but these arrogant n.o.bles would obviously never admit their own inferiority!
As Dana calmly walked towards her seat, which they positioned in the room's front, both her and Old Man Zhao sat down without the slightest hint of an expression on their face, showing no reaction at all towards the numerous gazes directed towards them.
An awkward silence descended upon the room for a few minutes after they sat down. However, this soon turned back into the previous boisterous atmosphere when they got used to Dana's presence. Still, no n.o.ble dared to approach her as they knew how powerful Dana truly was if she could take care of the Azure Emperor, not to mention her young age meant she hadn't achieved her full potential yet. Even an individual with cultivation such as the Azure Emperor had unusual temperaments because of their high cultivation, not to mention an individual even stronger and younger, this caused the n.o.bles in being wary of Dana not wanting to become enemies with her by accidentally offending her, which ended up making Dana pleased because she was not being disrupted at all during this ceremony, maybe it won't be as bad as she thought.
It soon proved Dana to be wrong as the actual ceremony began, the first stage was like Dana thought as a bunch of old men gathered in the front beginning their long-winded talk as they jabbered on about nonsense, causing Dana to yawn out of boredom which she expertly covered up in order to not ruin her "pristine" image. Then Oldman Zhao came in front proving unequalled among the other old men in terms of length of his speech, in fact throughout the entire thing Dana had nearly fallen back to sleep frequently. And just when she thought it couldn't get any worse, Kaiden came up...
As soon as Kaiden emerged, he presented himself dressed in garb fit for an Emperor, his entire clothing range was the most highly of quality of materials the Azure Empire can provide. Standing there Kaiden radiated an aura fit for a ruler, it seems like he has adapted quickly to his new role?
I hope they crown him Emperor and end this ceremony quickly, I've already reached my tolerance at the first old man which spoke, I'm going way over my limit here...
And Kaiden had to disappoint Dana by even managing to top the various individuals which spoke before him making Dana feel listless, looks like some things will never change.
After Kaiden's speech ended which caused the delight of Dana, Kaiden sat on the throne, with Oldman Zhao placing the crown on his head, just as the declaration of Kaiden becoming the Emperor announced...
A large group of powerful cultivators arrived, "I Pope Astritus of the Holy Kingdom according to G.o.d's will state you are unworthy to be the new Emperor of the Azure Empire!" Thundered an old decrepit looking man wearing a white robe, alongside him seemed to be the Emperors of Eranyth Empire and Orthos Empire!
All the other three Empires took this as an opportunity to attack the Azure Empire, Hmm? Well, I am tired of this ceremony anyway, Dana grinned looking at the group of opposing cultivators as if they were simply asking for death.
