Rudra’s coronation drew hundereds of thousands of civillians to the inner district of the Purplehaze city.
The coronation was set to happen inside the Church of light , this was a decision that was taken after considering that Rudra was the arch-bishop of the church and the fact that the pope himself was coming to coronate him.
It was also a political statement that declared it clearly to the world , that the True Elites Kingdom was a righteous light faction kingdom with a servant of the empress on the throne.
This served to greatly deter any forces that would cause trouble for Rudra , considering how weak the force of the nation truly was ,not having a single tier 4 existance within its official ranks to defend its territory.
Alongside the protection from Cervantez , this made the Elites untouchable and unbreachable for the moment . As two of the tier 5 existances in the continent were backing this otherwise powerless kingdom , making it one of the best allied and best protected kingdoms .
Rudra was initially afriad to step foot inside a church of light after the fiasco he had caused inside the Nineclouds one. However seemingly his plan to carefully remove the goddess’s statue and relocate it in a shrine made of the highest grade gold and precious jewels , seemed to get him out of the doghouse , as although he blew up the church , there was no goddess’s statue inside , saving him from her wrath.
There was hence no reaction as he came to kneel before the godess , and he could swear he could hear a ‘ Bless you my child ‘ , when he kowtowed the first time.
A sigh of releif escaped Rudra’s mouth , as if he was to be humiliated during the big day , it would be quite troublesome , however thankfully it seemed he was still within the Goddess’s good books.
The elites , the foreign dignitaries and only a few important civilians were given entry within the church grounds , as this was one of the most high profile events of all time!
Dewdiepie and a reported from country J , were the only two people who were allowed to show coverage of the event from inside the temple grounds , while no other news channel or streamer was allowed inside.
Purplehaze city was decorated in lanterns and swords , as a joyous Atmosphere had settled over the city , in honor of their new king being coronated.
The admiration and the public sentiment that Rudra had within Purplehaze city was the highest of anything out there , as time after time he had both taken care of the defence of the city as well as the development.
Although not perfect he had created a beautiful city , with a budding culture and great opportunities , it was a land of possibilities and the people of the city were grateful for it.
Hence why Rudra’s coronation was such a big event , as everyone wanted to be a part of it , as thousands surrounded the church trying to just get a glimpse of the guild leader.
This was a security disaster , however thankfully Patricia Won Knight was on duty , as she mentained tight security as the head of security for her brothers big day.
As incredible pride and joy could be seen in her eyes , at the heights her brother had achieved.
The won knight family lead one dignitary after the other , through what could be said to be the purple carpet , as kings , prince’s , guild leaders and the others who were invited were taken to their respective seats for the ceremony.
The front row was given to emperor Cervantez , and the lizardmen king , obviously, as noone else could stand their powerful aura.
While the second row had the closest allies of the Hazelgroove kingdom seated , including vanaheim king and princess Ruby.
This was the first time in a long time , that soo many kings and foreign officials had gathered under the same roof , and hence naturally chatter and polite exchanges followed , however every word uttered was crisp and calculated.
The air temperature increased a few degrees when emperor Cervantez shook hands with the lizardmen king , as the two went into a staredown gauging each others strength.
The lizardmen king was initially underestimating Cervantez , as the man had only broken through tier 5 in the recent years , whereas he was at this stage for over 2 decades.
However he was shocked to see that the power difference was not present at all and that Cervantez was someone who was progressing much faster than he had anticipated.
” Greetings king lizard “.
” Greetings human emperor Cervantez”.
The two exchanged greetings after 2 minutes of intense staredown , as the elites had to rush in to change the flaming drapery over the seating chairs , that had caught fire in the staredown between the two.
As the two sat beside each other , the crowd breathed a collective sigh of releif as the pressure they were exerting was simply too much to bear for normal humans , as anyone below tier 3 had their backs drenched in cold sweat.
The guild leaders from the various countries were also loosing their minds , as one after other important foreign officials made their way to the church. As they realized that the elites had more power and influence amongst the upper echleons of the game than they could have ever imagined.
From the three tier 5 existances to most of the allied kings , it could be said that the elites were now playing at the big boys table in the northern continent , while most of them were still stumbling trying to win favours from their kingdoms kings.
Undoubtedly this was the moment where countless ambitious guild leaders decided that they wanted to rebel and take over a kingdom as well. However many were to soon find out that what Rudra did was not so easy to replicate at this stage of the game at all.
When the pope finally came out to adress the seated crowd , anticipation , joy and excitement for the event finally started to reach its peak , as todays main event was finally starting!
The crowd outside was also now cheering at their loudest voice , stuff like ‘ Long live king shakuni ‘ or ‘ I’m from the True Elites Kingdom ‘. However it soon changed to ‘ We want to see our king’.
It was not only the commoners who wanted to see the king . It was everyone else as well. However none so , as much as one princess Ruby of the elves , whose eyes were scouring the hall for the signs of her one true love!
