The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 732

Breakfast took nearly to lunch with all the interruptions and people showing up to talk to the ranking Elites.

After the first hour, everyone but Karl, Othello and Ahmad managed to excuse themselves. The Monarchs with Othello’s team didn’t make it far before they were caught by someone with propositions or a history with them.

But at least they got to try.

The Coronation was exactly at noon, so Ahmad ended up leading them directly to a VIP box in the throne room, above floor level. The rest of the teams would be in the crowd below, and Karl spared a moment of sympathy for the Guards who had to maintain security with so many active skills in one room.

After the recent events, nobody who had the power would agree to go without defensive spells. Especially not here in the Throne Room, where the resident members of the Royal Family were killed.

The cause hadn’t been officially announced, but both Rae and Niall were certain nobody went in or out. Even the guards outside the door survived the battle.

Niall had questioned them, but the door remained barred from the inside, and they hadn’t heard anything thanks to the silencing spells on the Throne Room.

Ahmad smiled as Karl extended [Eternal Lightning] over him. A Totem was nearly impervious to the attacks of those below his Rank, but activating a Totem Ranked barrier would be an incredibly oppressive force for the unawakened humans in attendance, as well as most of the Elites.

Trumpets began to play a marching tune, and the room fell silent.

King Axel looked exhausted, but his back was straight, and his expression was grim as he entered the room with a pair of familiar Overlords walking behind him.

One was Overlord Drake, who had been travelling with him when Karl first met them, and the other was a female Bishop from the Church that Karl had seen multiple times before, but never officially met.

The King stepped up in front of the throne, and his grandmother came out with the crown on a pillow.

Then, the silence of the room was shattered when King Axel extended his hand and led the Bishop to the throne on his left.

The Queen’s Throne.

Ahmad whistled softly. "Oh, things are going to get spicy now. The King has always been a secular force in the nation, but it appears the rumours about King Axel’s love life were true. He has taken a Bishop as his Queen."

Karl didn’t even pretend to understand the politics, but they made a cute couple. Both were in their late twenties, so they both would be considered prodigies of the Elite Program, assuming they were both awakened that way.

While Karl was distracted, the speech by the elder Royal had begun, and Karl snapped back to attention partway through.
