The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 733

Once the coronation was over, Ahmad took Karl’s hand and used an air spell to deposit them both, along with Overlords Othello and Niall, in front of the throne.

A few other Overlords were in attendance, and they were filling the path to the throne behind them, while everyone else waited for their turn. Continue reading on empire

{Take out your gift for the King. You did make one, right? Not just something for me?} Ahmad asked with a System message.

{Yes, I made him a custom bracelet with Trollish Regeneration on it and some warrior buffs.}

Ahmad was the first to the throne, where he refrained from taking a knee, but bowed deeply before the King.

"Your Majesty, on behalf of the Elites, I present Monarch Karl with a custom crafted gift to begin your reign."

Oh, that was devious. It saved the rest of the Elites from needing to turn over a particularly valuable gift of their own. They could rely on the one given on behalf of the Elites as a group.

Karl moved forward at the Totem’s direction and bowed in the military manner, left knee down so that he could easily get at his blade if necessary.

Not that he was openly wearing a weapon. There was no need with an Inventory.

Karl held out the bracelet on a small black pillow that got nearly as much attention as the actual gift. Rae had made it of her silk, and it was a precious treasure on its own.

But once he saw the bracelet on the pillow, the new King’s eyes went wide, and he quickly picked it up to place it on his wrist.

That wasn’t protocol, he should have recognized the gift, and then had a maid place it to the side. But King Axel surged with power as he put it on and [Trollish Regeneration] took effect, along with the other buffs that Karl had put on the item.

"This is a most wonderful gift. The Crown thanks the Elites for their generosity."

Then he motioned for a maid to take the pillow, and Karl hid his smile.

They were giving him two gifts today, it seemed.

The four of them stepped aside, and Karl noted the relief on the faces of a number of Overlords behind him. Now they only needed to give something worthy of being a personal gift to the King, a much lower standard than trying to come up with something that would be noticed and prove goodwill from King Axel’s fellow Elites.

Mostly, they were giving him dungeon gold and magical gems. A practical gift to help rebuild the Royal City of Wenmouth.

Such gifts were considered a standard form of goodwill, and the city was going to need a lot of them. But Karl did notice a few of the mages had scrolls in their hands.

{Work Pledges. They are volunteering to help rebuild the city with Earth Magic. Those are mostly mages who have a link to the city.} Ahmad explained with a System Message as he led Karl away.

Karl gestured to the other members of the team that he was fine, and then asked Rae and Thor to hand out treasures to the others to give to the King.

Rae made small bags and pillows, since the King liked the pillows so much. By the time they were all done, he would have a whole pile of them for his bed.

Ahmad led Karl to an extremely fancy suite not far from his own, then dismissed all the maids and put four layers of barriers over the room.

Karl double-checked it with Soul Sight, and with all of his various vision abilities.

"It appears clear to me. I don’t sense anything living within your barriers." Karl explained.
