Chapter 908: The Emperor is
The Sea King's Mansion was taken over in his absence. And it was done by none other than his three trusted subordinates. The Servants could do nothing but go along with their wishes. In the absence of the Sea King, they were the leaders after all. Moreover, most of them didn't even believe that this was a betrayal. All of them knew how strong the Sea King was. The Chiefs would have to be fools to go against him. This made them think of another possibility, which was even more shocking. They had heard the rumors that the Sea King had gone to the Royal City of Elzeira. "Could it be that... He was captured there?" One of the Servants thought out loud. She was certain that the Pirate Chiefs wouldn't betray their leader. That left only one possibility. The Leader had been captured by the enemies and he wasn't in any condition to return. Since the Sea King was captured, it was certain that he was never going to return. And in his absence, the pirates needed leadership. Was that why the Pirate Chiefs decided to take over?
If that was the case, it was perfectly going to explain why such a sudden meeting was called. It was also going to explain why the meeting only lasted for a short time. If the Sea King was caught, it was a matter of survival for the Pirate Island. The Pirate Chiefs couldn't afford to waste time, so it was granted that they had agreed on something. As one raised the possibility, the others also started believing it. And before long, it wasn't a possibility for them anymore. Instead, it was certainly for them now. The Servants entered the mansion and decided to perform their duties and take care of their new leaders. However, the rumor wasn't just limited to them. This rumor started spreading like wildfire.
Many of them had heard of this rumor that there was a person who could do this, but they all thought this was an absurd rumor. So how?
The Princess' voice quivered slightly, but she maintained her composure as she continued, "Hence, today you are all invited to attend the Coronation Ceremony. I will be taking the throne, becoming your Queen. If you have any objections, please raise your hands."
None of the guests dared to raise their hands. They weren't fools to do something so oblivious. As if their objection was going to change the outcome. The Shadow Guards were behind that woman. If they raised their hands, they were certainly going to be killed. The Celestial Empress had also merged amongst the guests. She was also shocked to find out that the Elzeiran Emperor was dead. How could it be possible? She came here, thinking they were going to talk about Karyk and execute him. But it was the other way around? It wasn't Karyk who was to die, but it was the Emperor who was dead?
The only person she knew who could do something like that was Karyk. But wasn't he asking for her for help? How could he kill the Emperor when he was asking for help?
