Chapter 1855 The Coronation
1855 The Coronation
Long Huan's coronation was broadcast as well, shown to the world 3 days after the Azure Dragon's funeral as he took the crown on his head and became the Emperor of the Eastern Continent.
The world celebrated along with him, fiery creations of dragons flying around the sky. People danced and feasts were given out in many locations.
Long Huan stood tall and proud as the Emperor.
As the Emperor, Long Huan immediately made 2 new decrees.
Firstly, he made Long Hanjue the Crown Prince and heir to the Empire and gave him the Ebony Sword as proof of it.
That caused people to be very surprised as Crown Princes were usually those who were direct descendants of the Emperor. It was very, very rare that the Emperor's brother was the next in line for the throne.
It almost suggested that Emperor knew he could not have any children and that was why he had done that. Those rumors were certainly going to start without a doubt.
Secondly, he revoked all requirements his father had placed on the Kings and Queens of the other kingdoms.
Most people were not aware of what these requirements even were, but those who knew were not surprised by it.
The requirement in the first place was placed so that Kings and Queens would not have any family to pass down their throne to, and thus be reluctant to create any sort of coup.
Of course, now that it was revealed to everyone that even the coup from the past was a sham created by the Dragon Emperor to get rid of the existing 5 kings, it was certain that the requirement would be gotten rid of.
Once the two decrees were made, Long Huan stood tall once more, promising the people that he would be a fair and wise Emperor.
"It would've been so much better had you been there," Helen said to Hannah, who sat with the entire family in the VIP section of the audience.
"I wanted to, but because Mother insists that we are not officially married yet, I cannot yet appear as the Empress," Hannah said. "We will have to have a marriage ceremony."
Liz sighed to the side. "I have one daughter. I'm not going to miss out on her marriage. Aren't you happy at least that I am allowing you to marry him?"
"Allowing?" Hannah asked. "There was a chance you weren't going to allow him?"
"I don't know," Alex said. "I might have to go to the Northern Continent some point in the future and check if I find anything."
The coronation ended but the celebration did not. People celebrated for 3 days non-stop, with parties happening all around the continent.
A new emperor had risen, so it took a while for everything to go back to being calm again. At the end of the 3 days, it was time for Alex and the rest to return.
"Come right away when you want to, or send someone to get me," Liz said to Hannah. "I will come right away."
"I will, mom. You don't have to worry. I'm an adult now," Hannah said.
"You'll never be adult enough for me," Liz said. "Alright, prepare for your wedding however you want to and then call me. I will come immediately."
"It might take some time, but we'll be sure to let you know well in advance," Long Huan said.
"It feels wrong to leave you here, but taking you away feels even more wrong. Take care of yourself, Hannah. And don't push yourself to become an Immortal. You have plenty of time," Helen said.
"I won't, Aunt Helen," Hannah said.
"We'll see you next during your wedding then," Graham said. "Take care of yourselves."
"I'll come visit you often, Aunt Hannah," Ronron said. "I promise you won't be very lonely."
"I will wait for you all," Hannah said with a big smile.
Alex walked next to Hannah and Long Huan and brought out a few pills for them. "There are some healing pills, some antidotes, and some cultivation pills. Most of these should be used by Brother Huan, but you should use these Dao pills sister."
Hannah took the pills. "Is this what you were talking about?" she asked.
"Yes, I will have to make more, but these are the ones I have for now," Alex said. "Don't take them whenever you want. Take them when you feel like you are close to learning a Dao but can't quite get it. This puts you in a state of mind where it is easier to look into the mysteries of the Dao."
"Thank you, Alex," Hannah said. "I will make the most out of this."
Alex nodded. "See you both later then," he said and walked toward the ship. After a final wave and goodbye, the group flew south to return to the Southern Continent.
