As for Leila and Rene expressing their intention to serve the priestess indefinitely, Violet herself didn’t have strong feelings about it.

 

Terms like “forever” and “indefinitely” were too broad. After all, the lifespan of winged individuals could extend beyond a thousand years, and who could accurately predict such a long period? Moreover, Violet’s feelings towards the sisters were currently at the level of “quite interesting.”

 

Temporarily sheltering this pair of sisters who were alone in a foreign land wasn’t much of a problem. They were quite cute, so having a couple of followers more wouldn’t hurt. As for the future, that could be dealt with later.

 

From another perspective, Violet was also quite interested in the wonders of the so-called Azure Sky Kingdom, Bottomless Abyss, and the floating islands. With Leila and Rene, the White Feather winged individuals, around, exploring those areas should be much more convenient.

 

But these were all matters for later.

 

The twenty-first king, Anchorro Melchior’s month-long ritual, had officially ended yesterday.

 

A nation cannot be without a ruler even for a day. According to the regulations, in the absence of a will from the previous king and with no heir apparent, the new king would be elected by a public vote in the council.

 

In reality, there weren’t many options.

 

The eldest prince, Torin Melchior, had been schemed against and killed by the second prince, Ben Melchior, two years ago.

 

Ben, the second prince, had been imprisoned on the third floor of the celestial prison for fratricide. He later escaped but was killed by his subordinates due to infighting.

 

The third prince, Patrick Melchior, ordered his city guards to launch a rebellion, an act of high treason. He had been stripped of power and confined to the palace, unable to freely leave.

 

The fourth prince, Devitt Melchior, led an unremarkable life. Although he was rescued by the palace guards on the night of the rebellion, he seemed to have suffered a great shock and recently publicly announced giving up his right to the throne.

 

The sixth princess, Menna Melchior, was too young and did not meet the conditions for inheriting the throne according to reason and law.

 

The only one currently qualified to inherit the throne is Princess Lilya Melchior, the fifth princess.

 

Moreover, Princess Lilya’s talents and accomplishments are widely recognized. She played a crucial role in pacifying the western border beastman war, later governing with diligence, eliminating numerous cultists and evildoers, rescuing the distressed, and using decisive measures to quell the chaos in the capital. She had already gained the approval of everyone.

 

It was a consensus that Lilya Melchior should ascend to the throne, and the momentum was unstoppable.

 

During yesterday’s interim parliament session, this significant proposal was unanimously approved.

 

Today is the day when the princess receives the crown and officially ascends to the position of queen.

 

Lilya Melchior is also the first female queen in the recorded history of the Human United Kingdom. It can be said that she is creating a new chapter in history.

 

In the bustling square of the palace in Courage City, at least more than three hundred thousand people have gathered to witness the coronation of the new queen.

 

Although there are still some stubborn individuals who believe that women should not hold the position of king, compared to Lilya’s supporters, their voices are negligible. The cheers are so overwhelming that even before reaching the princess’s ears, they are drowned out by the roaring cheers.

 

Violet, accompanied by the little dragon girl, and followed by the two winged sisters, arrived at the high platform of the palace. Lilya, surrounded by the crowd, ascended to the forefront.

 

She wore a gown exclusive to the queen.

 

The petite crown, representing the princess’s status, had been replaced with a pure gold crown, the king’s crown. In her right hand, Lilya held a staff, and on it, three white birds seemed ready to take flight.

 

This was one of the kingdom’s three sacred treasures, passed down from the first generation, representing the king’s identity and status—the 【Scepter of Pioneering】. Those who once held it left a vivid mark in the history of the Human United Kingdom.

 

Ding…

 

Ding…

 

Ding…

 

Three bell tolls resonated throughout the entire city, signifying another significant and commemorative event in the history of the kingdom.

 

As the music swelled, the grand and stirring national anthem of the kingdom played, elevating the atmosphere to yet another climax.

 

Just as the music subsided for a moment.

 

The young queen smiled and raised the scepter in her hand. Three birds detached from the staff, circling and radiating endless brilliance! Her dignified and beautiful figure was imprinted in the memory of everyone at that moment.

 

A new queen was born.

 

“Long live Her Majesty the Queen! Long live the prosperity of the Human United Kingdom!!!”

 

Someone, not knowing who, led the enthusiastic shout, and in an instant, the entire audience responded in kind.

 

“Long live Her Majesty the Queen!!!”

 

“Long live the prosperity of the Human United Kingdom!!!”

 

The waves of cheers rolled and echoed through the sky, and everything had been decided.

 

As she looked at the young and tender queen, her friend who had come a long way, Violet couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions.

 

With a smile, the priestess turned and left the bustling and lively square, stepping into the shadows of a narrow alley.

 

“Master?”

 

“Lady Violet, where are you going?”

 

“Just handling a small matter. You two stay here and wait for me.”

 

Having said that, the black-haired girl turned her head and gave a stern look to the dragon girl who had just lifted her foot.

 

“No following allowed!”

 

……

 

Summoning the 【Divine Feather】 in the deserted alley and donning the 【Chameleon Cloak】, Violet soared into the air and headed towards a location near the royal palace.

 

Above a certain palace, she came to a stop, descended, and gently stepped onto a high platform, removing her cape.

 

A delightful spread of snacks and hot tea awaited, resembling a meticulously prepared elegant tea party.

 

On the other side of the table, a petite and lovely blue-haired girl sat gracefully, smiling slightly at the sudden appearance of the priestess.

 

This was the place Violet had once accidentally stumbled upon.

 

The Aurora Dream Hall of Princess Menna Melchior.

 

The resplendent and pure white wings behind her gathered, and Violet walked towards the tea party table, taking a seat on another prepared soft chair, tilting her head to look into the distance.

 

From here, she could have a panoramic view of the royal palace square and the situation during the coronation ceremony.

 

Then, the black-haired girl turned with interest, looking at Princess, who showed no reaction but continued to smile at her, nodding toward her forehead.

 

“Menna, isn’t it? Speaking of which, it’s our first formal meeting like this.”

 

Although they had heard about each other through various means before or shared the same hall, to be honest, Violet had never directly communicated with her, the youngest heir of the royal family, and Lilya’s own younger sister.

 

Moreover, the current Menna seemed completely different from the time in the Temple of Spirits when she appeared to be in low spirits, with a vacant expression. In her clear black eyes, it seemed as if they reflected the sun, moon, and stars.

 

In fact, when Violet secretly infiltrated Princess Menna’s sleeping palace to investigate her situation, she had already discovered it.

 

The sixth princess had never been poisoned from the beginning to the end.

 

She deceived the Eternal Throne, fooled Ben, deceived her elder sister Lilya, but she couldn’t deceive Violet.

 

“Perhaps it’s the first time for you, but I’ve actually admired your figure countless times in the oracle.”

 

The twelve-year-old princess slowly stood up, with her petite figure, elegantly bowed to the white-robed girl.

 

“So, nice to meet you. I am Menna Melchior, the sixth princess of the Human United Kingdom and the Revealer. I extend my sincerest greetings to you, great… Visitor.”
