Chapter 872: Chapter 725: Giving You a Chance for Redemption

The Senate, an imperial council organization composed of great dukes of royal descent, takes over the management of the empire when the King is unable to handle state affairs.

Therefore, it makes sense for the Senate to oversee the coronation ceremony in the absence of Wald XVIII.

Xu Shuo glanced around at the people present.

He really did not see Wald XVIII.

But he did see General Rois, standing amidst the Imperial Army troops stationed at both sides of the Gate of Palas, apparently serving as the Guardian Army for this coronation ceremony.

However, the other’s armor was still tightly fitted, completely obscuring any facial features beneath, only recognizable by their attire.

Beyond that Imperial Army, no other military forces were openly present at the scene.

Xu Shuo did not extend his spiritual power to probe into the hidden areas.

He stood quietly on the platform, listening to the minister of the Senate loudly reciting the coronation proclamation, his thoughts drifting amidst the somewhat incessant noise around him.

That’s why he never indulges in these utterly useless and long-winded speeches during the annual meetings at his studio.

After all, they always distracted him.

Not to mention the ordinary employees.

After a while.

The coronation proclamation was finally concluded, and another minister respectfully approached, carrying a pillow with a luxurious crown laid atop a red satin cloth.

Not the crown that Wald XVIII wore on his head yesterday.

This crown only appears during a coronation.

The minister approached Xu Shuo, bowed first, then kneeled on one knee and raised the tray above his head.

Xu Shuo handed the Sun Crown scepter to Catalina who was standing beside him, drowsy.

He then casually picked up the crown from the tray and looked towards Prince Simon, who had been kneeling three yards away for a long time, a trace of interest rising in his eyes beneath the Helmet.

This prince is truly pitiful.

Look at him, his shoulders are trembling, he probably doesn’t even realize it.

Xu Shuo stepped towards Prince Simon.

But just as he had taken two steps in that direction.

A vigorous shout came from behind the Gate of Palas.

“Wait a moment!”

…

The sudden interjection.

Caused all present, who were unaware of the facts, to be somewhat astonished and confused, all turning their gazes towards the back of the Gate of Palas.

The staircase behind the Gate of Palas was not very tall, and behind this building lay a straight and spacious avenue.

The avenue led directly to the distant Constantinople.

And was connected to the bustling districts of the Royal Capital, thus there were also many ordinary citizens standing on either side of the avenue watching the ceremony.

However, at this moment.

A column of troops was rapidly approaching from afar on the avenue.

The person leading was Prince Golan of the royal household, wearing armor, yet his attire was still luxuriously lavish, with a fiery red cape fluttering behind, displaying a commanding presence.

At this critical moment, on this critical occasion, Prince Golan appeared with his troops and stopped the continuation of the coronation ceremony.

A discerning person could already see the problem at hand.

Suddenly, the surrounding area burst into noise.

People around were incredulously whispering, but the whispers of hundreds and thousands accumulated to form a significant clamor.

Out of sight.

Xu Shuo was greatly amused.

The Senate’s minister looked around.

The guards stationed at both sides of the Gate of Palas immediately stepped forward, blocking Prince Golan’s troops, but the commander present was not General Rois.

Prince Golan stopped his horse; his stern and cold face under the steel crown bore a hint of arrogance.

He didn’t care about the guards before him.

Instead, he looked up towards the coronation platform, and after making eye contact with the pale-faced Prince Simon, a cold smirk appeared on Golan’s face.

He then loudly said: “My dear brother, Prince Simon is to be crowned today as the king, becoming the nineteenth monarch of the Saint Vlaro Empire, but—does he truly deserve it?!”

As his words fell, the clamor at the scene intensified!

Disscussions arose all around.

The grand dukes of the Senate were furious and stepped forward.

“Golan, do not act recklessly here!”

“Prince Simon’s coronation is the will of the people, hardly something you can intervene in whimsically.”

“Fourth Prince, what exactly do you intend to do today, could it be that you wish to emulate last night’s actions of the Seventh Prince?”

“Prince Golan, please do not do anything foolish.”

Some in the Senate could not tolerate Prince Golan’s actions, while others kindly advised.

After all, the grand dukes of the Senate were once blood relatives
