I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 376 - 243: Long Live the King

The day after the semifinals was a day of celebration for the people of Hedan, with singing and dancing everywhere. This romantic country showcases all its charms during the festival, the bars are packed, and graceful women freely display their allure, celebrating while eagerly awaiting tomorrow’s finals.

The finals are held the next afternoon, in a seven-match, four-win system. The first match is still a captain’s battle, requiring a three-to-three tie to trigger the seventh match, which has no lineup restrictions, allowing players from previous matches to participate.

Tickets sold out early this year due to the unexpected situation with Simmons, creating even more excitement than usual, notably drawing the attention of many Canon Law School families and members. Although Canon Law School’s numbers are few, its students greatly outnumber those in the Knight Academy, so losing in the past made them feel inferior. Now, things are different.

The Royal Knight Academy is in full form, and the Saint Grace Canon Law School’s overall state is not bad either. Their battle with the Eternal Knight Academy inflicted only minor injuries, proving their strength.

Newspaper vendors are currently very happy, selling newspapers like crazy. The Hex Bird Report and Hedan Daily are seeing skyrocketing sales. The Hex Bird Report is not holding back; their words are sharp, all equally biting, because accountability will come in the fall.

"Disgrace! A knight’s disgrace! Zheng Shengxun was scared to wet himself!"

"The semifinals saw Zheng’s urine assault, cowardice is the greatest insult to the knight spirit!"

"What does a knight who wets themselves in battle look like? Look at Zheng Shengxun!"

"The most cowardly moment at the glory celebration—unseemly knight Zheng Shengxun."

"Reliable sources say Zheng Shengxun is finished for life."

...

Having finally found an opportunity with no need for restraint, the editors and reporters of the Hex Bird Report unleashed a full-scale attack on the Zheng family. Some reporters even staked out Zheng Shengxun in the hospital, suggesting that his lower body permanently lost function because of some magic potion, hence the sudden incontinence...

Because they wield significant inspection power, the typically arrogant and domineering Zheng family has offended many people. Now that their power has crumbled, others are piling on, leaving them without support and having suffered such a great disgrace, bringing a lot of laughter to Hedan. People discuss this even at meals, finding the Zheng family’s ordeal even more entertaining than the outcome of the matches itself. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The gates of the Zheng household are tightly closed, with only servants going out for shopping, and related personnel staying indoors. Duke Zheng is making full preparations for the biggest fall but dare not interfere with the public opinion, nor dare to refute it. The Prince remains closed off on the outskirts, with the Celestial Principle School keeping an eye on him. Causing any scenario would be akin to handing the Celestial Principle School a knife; they can only endure, having no other recourse.

Although the Zheng family seems to have immense power, their downfall can happen in an instant. This fact might be a fantasy for the younger generation, but the older Duke is well aware. He can now only rely on the Prince, but everything has to wait for the glory battle to end. He believes the Prince will not remain dormant forever; this battle holds no failure, only death is its end.

Prince Oliver’s estate had become chaotic with Princess Amosa’s antics. She hates the estate, occasionally visiting is fine, but being trapped there caused her great torment. Dull and tedious, unable to witness the most lively glory celebration. From newspapers, she saw the city’s bustling excitement while she was cooped up here; those people must be gossiping behind her back, the more she thought, the angrier she got, the more tormented she felt. Naturally, she wouldn’t let herself suffer, so she began to wreak havoc on everyone.

Oliver unconditionally adored his only child. No matter how Amosa acted, he would not get angry. Even the deaths of some people were nothing, as it’s the meaning of their lives; after all, it’s the way to make her feel slightly better. In his eyes, Amosa was still sensible, at least she hadn’t actually demolished the estate.

Bocuse and Oliver ignored the outside clamor because the time was nearing.

"Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow."

The same words, but with different emotions. Bocuse felt a bit excited and apprehensive, whereas Oliver was confidently anticipating.

Early the next morning, Hedan was exceptionally quiet. Evidently, yesterday was a night of revelry; no one went to bed early, and in the morning people could sleep in, while the afternoon marked the start of another wave of celebrations. Regardless of who the victor is, the following three days would be holidays.

Young Master Xiong Ying had given out two tickets; now the finals’ tickets are incredibly sought-after. For Christie’s sake, Li Xin resisted the urge to sell the tickets for cash. After all, Young Master Xiong Ying would grow more prosperous, and Li Xin naturally saw a promising future; good days were just beginning. In life, choices outweigh effort.

Too bad Dragon Mother returned to Li Long at such a time, ancient traditions celebrate high achievements in marriage. She missed out, what a pity, but it’s not his fault for not offering the chance.

Afternoon arrived quickly, and the arena was teeming with people. Your Majesty, Queen Kelly, two Princes, the Princess, emissaries from various countries, and the nobles with status and influence from Hedan all gathered at the VIP seats. This was also a time to flaunt one’s status and position.

Duke Holman, and the usually reclusive Count George also appeared, and even as a count he stayed within the elite circle, with no one finding it inappropriate. The other dukes naturally attended as well; even Duke Zheng came, face beaming with smiles, not showing a hint of his being a loser. They all wanted to witness a historic moment.

Food, wine, pleasant conversations, and the grand ladies and young women all donned intricate makeup, lavish hair adornments, and pushed-up bosoms. If not sufficient, padding was added, with waists tightly laced, feeling as though a slight exhale might pop the buttons. The whole arena became a stage for women’s show of beauty.

Li Xin and Christie sat together, soaking in the ultimate atmosphere of Hedan’s final showdown, relishing the wonderful time of their date, loudly cheering for dear Young Master Simmons.

Everyone awaited with bated breath, looking forward to the appearance of the champions of honor. The public’s anticipation and enthusiasm formed a powerful wish power, all of which would nourish the Golden Tree, as only a robust Golden Tree could protect Moncalleta.

Ola the Eighteenth had a faint smile on his face; after so many years, he finally awaited this day, a glory celebration belonging to him. Ola the Eighteenth gently held Queen Kelly’s hand, she slightly tried to pull away but couldn’t, gave a subtle smile, knowing well her husband’s mood was excellent today. Otherwise, he wouldn’t express affection in such a setting.

This is a battle destined not to fail. The fact that Simmons led Saint Grace Canon Law School to the finals is already a massive success. Intelligence gathered by the Celestial Principle School shows that the public’s enthusiasm for the Canon Law School far exceeds that for the Knight Academy. This signifies that the royal power will only grow stronger, conversely, the Church Court, which has significant influence over the Knight Academy, will be weakened. In ten or twenty years, the Celestial Principle School will be the chaser; they have no pressure, only motivation to advance.

Of course, this doesn’t mean the ecclesiastical power is weak. In contrast, no one can shake the Pope’s status, and the Pope’s power is not to be underestimated. However, reaching near divinity, the Pope rarely appears in worldly matters due to legal constraints, a state of affairs typical in the Sixth Epoch.

The Moncalleta Kingdom wasn’t the first, the one who initially strengthened this point was the Li Long United Kingdom, and the man named Luthor started it all.

With the destiny bestowed by the Golden Tree, the King is the future of the Sixth Epoch. He aspires to make this nation more prosperous and powerful, allowing every citizen to live a happy life.

In this moment of immense attention, the King stood up, raising his glass, "This decisive battle is dedicated to the great Moncalleta Kingdom, dedicated to the great people of Moncalleta. Brave warriors, use your power to defend Moncalleta’s freedom and civilization!"

Long live the King~~~~
