Chapter 909: Language of Gods
The Celestial Empress' mind raced as she tried to make sense of the situation. She couldn't believe that the Emperor was dead. The thought that Karyk, who had sought his help, could be responsible for the Emperor's death was baffling. As the Princess continued her address, the Sea King's thoughts drifted back to the meaning behind the Emperor's death. It meant there was a threat looming over the Elzeiran Dynasty. It also meant that whatever the emperor was trying to do was really dangerous. At first, he didn't take the invasion plans of the Emperor seriously. In his eyes, there was no enemy who could stand the might of the Elzeiran Empire. It was only now he realized that he might have been more optimistic than needed. "Just what kind of Pandora's box have you opened?" The Sea King muttered, feeling slightly concerned about the future. Just one person from the enemy's side had managed to enter their Royal Capital and kill the Emperor before leaving. He didn't even know just how many people like Karyk were in the other world. What if there were hundreds of such people? What if there were thousands?
Until now, the Purebloods had lived a life where it was impossible for them to die before they ran out of their lifespan. The worst thing that could happen to them was simply being sealed until the moment of their deaths. But this time, there was a real possibility of being killed. He knew that he couldn't sit on the edge now. He had to take part in this conquest. If the Elzeiran Empire was destroyed, his island could be left. "If he hadn't been captured, that meant he actually escaped?" The Celestial Empress also had her expressions go dark. She had thought that her connection with Karyk was cut by the Elzeiran Empire. But that guy was long dead. That meant Karyk himself had achieved this feat. She couldn't help but look back to the moment she had threatened him. It was still fine, but what she did with his people to break her seal... She knew that she had already burned all the bridges between the two. Karyk might hate her just as much as he hated the Elzeiran Empire. Previously, she wouldn't have worried about him since she didn't consider him a threat, but by now, she knew better. She had heard a few things about the incident at the Royal City and how many undead Elzeirans had attacked and it took the Shadow Guards to destroy them. Karyk had entered the ancient tomb and then the Undead helped him escape. There was only one meaning behind it. Karyk was able to raise undead, just like she could!
It was an ability that he kept hidden, even from her. Not only was his personal strength high, but he could also have an Elzeiran Undead Army. What made him even more dangerous was that he wasn't from this world. Since he kept so many things hidden from her, she was certain that he also hid things about his world. Could there really be more people like him in his world? Could he have more allies?
The more the Celestial Empress thought, the more her expressions darkened. ....
Soon, the Coronation Ceremony began in the Royal Palace. When the guests came here, attending a coronation Ceremony was the last thing they might have expected. But it was actually happening!
Today, the Princess was going to become the Empress and take the throne that previously belonged to her brother. The Coronation Ceremony was handled by the Leader of the Shadow Guards whose position was the most special in the Elzeiran Dynasty. Many people even said that he was the strongest warrior in the Elzeiran Dynasty, who was even stronger than the previous Emperors. It was said that even the Emperor couldn't order the Leader of the Shadow Guards. It was the only existence that was beyond the Emperor's control. Or rather, the Emperor himself kept the Leader of Shadow Guards out of his control. As for the reason, no one knew. The Leader of the Shadow Guards was responsible for the Coronation Ceremony. He was also the one who provided the Ancient Oath that the Princess had to complete. The Princess started chanting the Oath which was in a language that most people present in the hall could understand. There were only three people who had ever heard this language before. The first was the Leader of the Shadow Guards. Not only had he heard the language before, but he also understood it. The second person was the Celestial Empress. Although she didn't understand this language, but she remembered hearing similar words. This was the language of the Archangels. The third person was certainly the Princess who had previously heard her brother speak this language in his sleep.
She personally didn't understand this language either. She just repeated what the Leader of the Shadow Guards was saying. The entire chant was long. It took over an hour before the Princess finished the oath. However, as soon as she finished, she felt something strange. An unfamiliar knowledge was entering her head. A part of that knowledge was about this language. It was as if she was suddenly able to understand this language!
She finally realized the meaning behind that long oath. It was basically praying to the Archangels and offering to become their eternal servant, in life and in death!
"From today, you shall be the Empress of the Elzeiran Empire and follow the will of the ones above!" The Leader of the Shadow Guards placed a crown on the woman's face. All the guests started congratulating her. However, the woman appeared to be distracted. "It's time..." The Leader of the Shadow Guard said. "Time for what?" The Empress asked. "Time for you to have a meeting with 'them' and retrieve your brother's body." The Leader of the Shadow Guards escorted the Empress with him, leaving all the guests behind. The Celestial Empress was close to the Empress as she walked past. With just one attack, she could kill the new Empress, ending the Royal Bloodline. However, just as the thought crossed her mind, she noticed the Leader of the Shadow Guards glance at her. She felt like a sharp blade was resting against her throat. If she tried to move, she was going to die. The feeling only disappeared when the Empress left the hall with the Leader of the Shadow Guards.
