coronation (3)

Yuno sat on the throne and looked down at the royal palace.

The nobles who filled the royal hall were speechless because they were embarrassed by Yuno’s sudden accession to the throne as emperor. Yuno opened his mouth as he looked at the nobles.

“Why? Don’t you like that I have been crowned emperor? If you have any objections, please speak up here. If anything is said after the coronation ceremony, it will be treated as treason, but I promise that I will not charge you with anything as of now”

At Juno’s words, an old nobleman above the count who was planning to appoint his son as Minister of Agriculture spoke up.

“I will risk my life to tell you something. Balkan throne succession is based on the principle of eldest son succession! So, it is clear that His Majesty Prinz takes the throne…”

“Hmm? Did you inherit the throne as crown prince of your older brother, His Majesty Prince Prinz II, the previous emperor of the Balkans? Isn’t that what all the nobles gathered here agree on?”

Yuno’s words immediately closed his mouth, and the king fell into silence again.

“If I have nothing more to say, I will understand that the Lords have recognized me as the Emperor of the Balkans”

Next, Count Redburg raised his hand, sweat pouring down his forehead.

“Yes. Lord Redburg. Please tell me anything first. If you were a former Minister of Justice, it would make more sense”

“His Majesty the Third Prince. First of all, let me say this assuming that you have not yet inherited the throne. His Majesty the previous King Karl III wanted His Highness Prinz to ascend to the throne and His Highness the Third Prince to lead the Balkans by leading the military. God does not know what promise the two of you made, but for the sake of the empire, it is important to uphold the legacy of His Majesty Karl III, who led the greatest era of the Balkans…”

Before Count Redburg could finish speaking, Count Liechtenauer interrupted him.

“No, His Majesty Karl III entrusted the maintenance of the Balkans to His Majesty Emperor Juno”

“Lord Liechtenauer?”

At Liechtenauer’s words, the eyes of the nobles, including the Count of Redburg, opened wide. However, Liechtenauer did not care about the nobles’ reactions and continued speaking.

“Before his death, His Majesty Karl III wished for His Majesty Juno, the current emperor, to take over as the next emperor”

“Well, is that really true?”

“I can swear on my honor. There may be some who don’t believe, so the magic tower lord, please cast the Mouth of Truth spell on me”

At Lichtenauer’s request, Jennifer once again revealed her vast magical power and cast the Mouth of Truth magic on him. Lichtenauer disarmed all the anti-magic tools he was equipped with and meekly accepted Jennifer’s magic.

“I swear once again with my honor and mana as a knight that what I said is true”

Liechtenauer’s voice, echoing in the hall with the Mouth of Truth spell, showed that his words were the truth.

Principled people like the Count of Redburg now seemed to understand Juno’s succession to the throne, but the nobles whose interests were immediately at stake widened their eyes and argued otherwise.

“Even so, the succession to the throne of the Balkan Empire cannot be carried out so hastily!”

“That’s right. It makes no sense for the succession to the throne to be carried out without consulting the nobles”

“Then what do you want me to do with my luggage? The fact that you guys come out like this means that you want something, right?”

Only then did the nobles look at Yuno and state their demands.

“…Please confirm here that you acknowledge the list we gave you a week ago”

“In that case, our nobles will also acknowledge this succession to the throne”

Yuno covered his eyes with his hands as he saw the nobles completely revealing their intentions.

“Kkkkt

Yuno, who had been laughing slowly, seemed to gradually lose control and burst into laughter.

“Khahahahaha”

As Yuno burst into laughter and unleashed his energy, the high-ranking nobles gathered in front of the palace had to receive the full force of Yuno, the master, and those who were weak began to lose their legs and fall to the floor one by one.

“These guys who couldn’t even say a word in front of Heinrich are going wild as if something happened just because the emperor changed”

With a cold expression, Yuno held up the list of ministerial and vice-minister positions given to him by the nobles and tore the documents to pieces.

“As the emperor, I cannot accept such a list. no! Even if I don’t become emperor, I don’t recognize lists like this. It is unreasonable for you people to argue against a position appointed by the Emperor of the Empire!!”

Yuno, who shouted in anger, took a breath and looked at the nobles again.

“Of course, as an emperor, appointing talented people to key positions requires consultation with his subjects! But is this the attitude of a nobleman now? Is this the attitude of the nobles towards the emperor? They bring in a list that they have made up among themselves and tell them to appoint people like this if they want to become the emperor? ”

Despite Yuno’s fierce appearance, when the family’s interests and the position at stake were about to disappear, all the nobles rose up and suddenly appeared as one, regardless of faction.

“It is the emperor who reigns at the top of the empire, but it is we nobles who run the empire”

“That’s right!! No matter how much you are the emperor, it would be very difficult if you tried to make personnel decisions without the consent of our nobles!”

“Personnel is an important thing that determines the future of the empire. So, if you are an emperor who rules over the Balkan Empire by establishing authority with the emperor’s staff! Act appropriately for that cane…”

Although it was Yuno who achieved the unintentional unification of factions, Yuno looked very calm.

“Hmm… The emperor’s authority… Did it come from a staff like this?”

Yuno looked at the emperor’s staff handed to him by Prinz for a moment, grabbed it with both hands, split it in half, and threw it under the throne.

Clink~ Clink~ Clink…

Not only the nobles but even Prinz was astonished by Juno’s actions of destroying the sacred object that had symbolized the emperor since Balkan founded the empire.

“Yu, Yunoya…”

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty… A sacred object that symbolizes the emperor…”

“No, the emperor’s authority does not come from a staff like that… From now on, I will personally show you where the emperor’s authority comes from. Knights of the Guard, listen! For whom does the Knights of the Guard exist?”

In response to Juno’s question, the Liechtenauer and the knights of the Royal Guard who filled the second floor of the royal palace showed their respect and shouted with mana.

“The gods exist to protect the Balkan Empire ruled by His Majesty the Emperor!”

The nobles looked embarrassed as they watched the Knights of the Royal Guard surrounding the royal palace and showing their murderous spirit towards them, but Juno’s protest did not end there.

“Each corps commander in the Balkans, listen! For whom does the legion of the empire exist?”

The eight corps commanders of the empire also bowed before Yuno and shouted loudly.

“The Imperial Legion is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and exists for the glory of the Balkan Empire!!”

As emperor, Juno once again received the imperial army’s oath of loyalty and requested Isabella to spread her voice in the square in front of the main gate of the imperial palace, and ordered Jennifer to project the images of the citizens gathered at the main gate to the royal palace.

“Adria citizens, listen!! His Majesty Prinz II, who was crowned emperor today, abdicated the throne to my younger brother!! From now on, I declare that I, Juno I, is the emperor of the Balkan Empire!!”

The citizens of Adriatic, who had expressed some discomfort at the news of Prinz’s ascension to the emperor, cheered wildly at the news of Juno’s ascension to the throne, who made the greatest contribution in defeating the evil Henry and saved them and the children of their neighbors and took revenge on them. it started.

“Yuno! Yuno! Yuno! Yuno!!”

“Long live His Majesty the Emperor!! Long live the Balkan Empire!!!”

Looking at the citizens of Adria cheering at his voice, Yuno raised his voice once again.

“Citizens of Adria!! Subjects of the Balkan States!! I will ask you a question. Who is your emperor?”

“You are the Emperor!!

“Who rules the Balkans?”

“That is also His Majesty the Emperor!!”

“Who will make the Balkans great again?”

“Your Majesty is Emperor Juno I!!!”

The voices of the citizens of Adria supporting Yuno were loud, and without going through Jennifer’s magic, those voices resonated all the way to the distant imperial palace, causing the nobles to lose their spirit.

“Did you hear? Did you feel it? The emperor’s authority comes not from a stick, but from the support of the military and citizens!”

This time, Yuno did not even generate mana, but Yuno’s natural momentum, supported by the support of the imperial army and people, caused the nobles to kneel one by one.

Before we knew it, all the nobles in the royal palace had knelt down and pledged loyalty, but surprisingly, there was one person who did not bend his knee until the very end.

He was none other than Juno’s maternal grandfather, the Duke of Windrage, and Juno stared directly at his maternal grandfather.

“Your Highness, no, Your Majesty. God, let me ask you just one thing. What does your Majesty think about the empire and the emperor?”

“The Balkans are the burden, and the burden is the Balkan Empire!”

“Kk… Hahahahaha…:

Duke Windrage burst into laughter as he looked at Yuno, who answered his question so simply, and after a while, he knelt in front of Yuno.

“Shin. Fairdo Bork von Windrage swears allegiance to His Majesty Emperor Juno I!”

Starting with Duke Windrage’s oath of allegiance, all nobles formally pledged allegiance to Juno, and Juno finally became the emperor of the Balkan Empire.

And as soon as Yuno officially became emperor, like Prinz, he appointed his companion and empress of the empire.

“From now on, I will appoint you as my companion and empress! The Empress is Jim’s fiancé, Eliza Sinclair de Leonhart”

Since it was obvious that Eliza would be the empress once Yuno was crowned emperor, the nobles nodded. However, Yuno’s subsequent voice exploded a bomb in front of the king, making the heads of many nobles who had just pledged allegiance tingle.

“And Catherine of Aragon. I will appoint these two as my first and second empresses!!”
