The Golden Throne

Chapter 241: Coronation

Liu Feng blushed.

“Yes, mother. I will introduce her to you.” Liu Feng nodded.

“Send the maids in. I will attend your coronation. What kind of mother will I be if I miss such an important part of my son’s life?” Bai Daiyu nodded.

Liu Feng nodded as he left the room. Soon after, a few maids entered the room. They approached Bai Daiyu.

An hour later,

Liu Feng was looking outside his palace. There were so many people in the city center, all looking at the center stage, where the coronation was expected to happen. Next to Liu Feng, Long Che was also standing.

“Becoming a king at such a young age? Interesting. Do you think that it is right to mature so early. I would suggest that you enjoy the little child that you earned for yourself. After a huge war, there must be so much that you have wanted to do for yourself. Why not ask yourself all of that. Why not do all of that now, and put off your responsibilities to someone else. Your grandfather seems more than just eager.” Long Che suggested.

“I already enjoyed my life for sixteen years. It is time for me to live up to my responsibilities.” Liu Feng shook his head.

He turned around and started walking.

“Do you want anyone beside you for the coronation? A representative from the dragon tribe, if you will.” Long Che asked.

“Arad will be perfect. He is the one that I am most comfortable with.”, Liu Feng.

“Although he killed your father, he did that only to protect you. Do not blame the elder for that. He did his job, and he might as well be the reason that you are alive right now. I hope that you will not hold it against him.” Long Che suddenly said,

“I am not that driven by emotion. I know that the problem lied with me and my father. He betrayed the continent, and I was blind to it all.” Liu Feng said. 

He continued walking until he left the corridor. He was soon in a room, and he was facing a wall.

“Hello, father. I am finally going to become the king.” Liu Feng said softly.

Opposite to him, a glamorous Liu Man’s portrait stood tall and stunning.

“Why did you have to do that? Why did you have to become the person that I detested the most?” 

He turned around. He walked around the room and finally found a place to sit. He then gazed forward. 

“Your high- Your Majesty. It is time for the coronation.” a servant entered the room. 

Liu Feng nodded at her, and he got up. He took a deep breath and followed her. They walked through a long corridor and were finally stopped by a huge door.

Two guards stood on either side of the door. They held the handles and pulled on them. A bright light shone upon Liu Feng as he stepped forward.

Loud cheers and shouts greeted him.

“All hail the new king!” someone shouted. The rest of the people started reciprocating the shout, and soon, the entire crowd in front of Liu Feng was chanting praises.

Liu Feng smiled slightly as he raised his hand. He waved at all of the people. he continued walking, and he was soon at the center of the platform. All of the people looked at him eagerly. There was a huge throne in the center of the platform. To the side, the front row audience was populated by the big shots. Balor, Damascus, Amelia, Alderan, and Long Che with a few other familiar faces all looked at him with serious faces.

He nodded at all of them. He then stepped up and sat on the throne. He could see that his mother was also within the audience, but she was not in the front. To a side, she was looking at him with the expectant and gentle eyes of a loving mother. 

Liu Feng felt his heart pang. He shook his head as he looked forward.

A man was standing in front of him with a huge scroll. He started shouting, and the moment that he spoke, the crowd went silent.

“On this auspicious day, His Majesty, Liu Feng, will become the thirty-seventh king of the great kingdom of Aegon. Liu Feng is the rightful successor of the throne, and anyone who wishes to challenge the right to the throne shall step up now, or forever stay subservient to it.” the man shouted.

Liu Feng frowned.

“What is happening? I never knew about this. Why did no one tell me about this?” Liu Feng thought to himself. He looked around with confusion and saw a smiling Liu Zhen.

“What the hell is grandfather thinking? Does he have designs for the throne? He was the previous king, right? He has no reason for all of this. Anyways, there should be no one who has designs for the throne. After all, I am the rightful successor.” Liu Feng told himself.

He looked around at the huge crowd. All of them shuffled nervously. Liu Feng smiled confidently. He knew that he was the only one who could possibly become the next king. But all of a sudden, his grandfather’s past words flashed by his mind.

“Father had siblings. Any one of them could have stayed hidden till now, and they would be waiting for an opportunity like this. Damn it. I should have asked someone for the whole procedure so that I would have expected something like this.” Liu Feng realized.

The crowd started moving to one side. Liu Feng looked at what was happening curiously. He saw that a person was walking towards him, and all the people were giving him way. The man was tall and looked eerily familiar to Liu Feng. Liu Feng squinted his eyes to take a closer look at who this person was.

“I, Liu Qian, second in line to the throne after my brother, Liu Man, lay my right to the throne!” the man shouted.
