Ashen Dragon-Chapter 377 - 301 Coronation and Blue Dragon

Chapter 377 -301 Coronation and Blue Dragon

Ramp was still going on: “Master, you unified Anzeta in just a few short years and eradicated the Frost Giants in the North. This is an achievement and feat that no one has been able to reach on this land for thousands of years.”

His tone grew more and more enthusiastic and passionate.

“The title of ‘King’ like those in the North is no longer enough to describe your greatness…”

At this point, Ramp deliberately paused slightly, bowing his head deeply, his eyes filled with admiration and respect.

“I believe you should gain the title of ‘Emperor’ and elevate the Ashen Kingdom to an Empire—like the former Holy Fadlan. This is the earnest wish of all your subjects.”

“An Empire…”

Cassius fell into thought, his gaze flickering.

Ramp continued to persuade in a low voice: “You can hold the coronation ceremony while conferring honors, showcasing the power of the Ashen Kingdom to the whole of Anzeta and even the continent, to completely extinguish any resistance in the North.”

“Furthermore… this ceremony can also make the entire Fianso continent realize our presence, letting them know Anzeta is no longer isolated and indifferent to worldly affairs.

We can use this opportunity to participate in the division of the Fadlan Empire’s legacy—the Divine Descendants of Fadlan are endlessly fighting among themselves, and we, who have always been isolated from the continent, can become their sought-after external ally.”

Cassius slightly nodded, somewhat convinced by his words.

Ramp was not wrong.

The Ashen Kingdom, or rather the Empire, needed to show its fangs to the world.

The current Ashen Kingdom had a vast territory of 2.7 million square kilometers and a population of over nine million.

Though it was just a remote corner of the vast Fianso continent, it already counted as a recognized major power, especially since it had a ruling Dragon at the peak of strength in the Material Plane—a terrifying Variant Dragon.

Without much hesitation, Cassius said: “If so, then go prepare.”

“However… I need a grand coronation ceremony, one that can spread the Empire’s name across the continent.”

“Yes, Master!”

Ramp knelt on the ground, his face red with extreme excitement and joy. He quickly bowed and left.

As the current Prime Minister of the kingdom, many affairs awaited Ramp’s handling, and the most important was undoubtedly the freshly proposed coronation ceremony.

—But the kingdom’s think tank had already prepared dozens of planning schemes before the war started, even arranging a more than 300-page, hundreds of thousands of characters long detailed planning document.

Including everything from ceremony steps, etiquette, to various budget estimates, it had it all, nothing was left out.

…

Once Ramp left, Cassius finally began to act on the thought he had just had.

With a slight intention, he took off the crown.

He also took out the silvery white gemstone—none other than [Wind of Bahamut]

He had noticed earlier that Osedro’s silver disc did not match with the gemstone, yet the “Wind of Bahamut” forcefully elevated it to the level of a Divine Artifact.

Under the control of Force Field Magic, the silver-white gemstone embedded into the crown’s mithril base, slowly merging.

The crown’s surface shone with a silver brilliance.

Though their levels did not match, this was the orderly and gentle power of Bahamut, enough to blend into anything.

“Wa—”

[Supreme True Dragon Diadem – Sacred Radiance]

Quality: Sub-artifact

“Tch, it truly is the Divine Power of the Lord of the Northwind, to forcibly enhance equipment to this level.”

Cassius could not help but exclaim. He stretched his dragon body, placing the crown on his head, feeling that sense of orderly purification.

Ultimately, he still took off the crown, taking out the silver gemstone and keeping it on his person.

Cassius still had a coronation ceremony to attend—even though the Metal Dragon faction was already aware, he did not want to expose such a high-level treasure to everyone’s sight.

Suddenly, the voice of Tiefling Guard Captain Eckmon came from the communicator.

“Your Majesty, Lady Christina seeks an audience with you.”

Cassius frowned, sighing out a breath of sulfurous hot air with some irritation.

“Why is it her again?”

It was no wonder Cassius was so irritable.

In recent months, that Blue Dragon had come at least ten times, each time turned away by the guards with the reason “His Majesty is sleeping and recuperating,” leaving disappointed.

Cassius casually ordered:

“Tell her I am still asleep.”

Eckmon was silent for a moment, somewhat helplessly saying: “Your Majesty, Lady Christina said she saw Lord Ramp and a human leave the royal palace.”

“Lady Christina requests to come in, and… she is lying at the royal palace gate.”

“…”

Cassius sighed.

“Alright, let her in then.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Soon, a soft female voice came from outside the door.

“Your Highness Cassius…”

The doors slowly opened, and outside the hall stood Christina in human form.

She was wearing a silk dress that highlighted her figure, almost impatiently striding into the hall.

Christina lifted her skirt with one hand in greeting, her bright face showing a pitiful expression: “Your Majesty Cassius, you finally agreed to see me.”

Cassius lay sideways on the throne, not even glancing at her, just calmly saying: “The task assigned by Her Majesty the Dragon Queen has been completed, is there anything else?”

“Uh…”

Christina was momentarily at a loss for words but quickly reacted, smiling: “Of course, I came to congratulate you.”

“You defeated the famed ‘Wings of Silver’ Osedro, destroyed the allied forces of the North, achieving such glorious victories—I, as your faithful ally, of course, come to offer my congratulations.”

Cassius remained indifferent as usual: “You should have finished congratulating by now.”

“So… Lady Christina, please leave now, I need to rest.”

Christina’s expression immediately changed, hurriedly waving her hands to explain: “No, of course not, please let me stay a little longer.”

“Why?”

Cassius tilted his head slightly.

Christina’s body shimmered with tiny flashes of Magical Aura, her form swelling dramatically, transforming into a young Blue Dragon more than ten meters long.

The Blue Dragon gently swayed its thick tail, spreading its sky-blue wings, and the dragon face with a single horn on the nose “chuckled”:

“Your Majesty Cassius, according to our five-colored dragons’ tradition, after experiencing a thrilling battle, we often relax through a night of revelry.”

“Before you rest, why not have a delightful and exciting…”

Immediately, the Blue Dragon stepped closer to the Red Dragon, deliberately twisting its deep blue body.

“What nonsense tradition.”

Cassius had a strange expression.

“Your Majesty Cassius, ow—”

With a wave of Force Field Magic, the Blue Dragon suddenly flew out, rolling over ten times on the ground before stopping.

Cassius intended to drive her out completely, but the sprawled Christina quickly got up, raising her claws in panic, forcing a smile.

“Wait! Your Majesty Cassius!”

“That was just an accident. I truly brought a new mandate from Her Majesty the Dragon Queen this time!”

“Speak.”

Christina said softly: “Her Majesty the Dragon Queen said, please do not forget the previous agreement.”

“I understand.”

Cassius answered expressionlessly.

The Red Dragon looked into the distance, a dim light flashing in his pale golden pupils, as if the majestic silhouette of the five-colored dragons appeared.

“A draconic hegemony… I shall see who is truly being used in the end.”

He thought to himself.

…

Meanwhile, Christina left the kingdom in disgrace again, her attempts having been fruitless. Her usually proud charm had no effect at all.

The Blue Dragon attendant who had waited a long time comforted her:

“Miss, do not lose heart. At worst, let the clan find another male dragon with ancestral lineage for you. With the power of our Farria clan, we can still…”

Christina shook her head like a rattle drum, her outer skin crackling with tiny sparks from the powerful static effect.

She looked sorrowful, continuously slapping the ground to vent her frustration, grinding her teeth as she said:

“I don’t care, this is a promise from Her Majesty the Dragon Queen herself, only he is worthy of me! Besides, where else can you find a dragon like His Highness Cassius? They are all just a bunch of worthless lizards!”
