nNERO didn’t mind when he felt his father’s Moonglow entering his soul.

nBut he got annoyed when he felt Neoma’s Moonglow, too.

nTsk. This Moonglow has no loyalty. How dare you leave my twin sister unprotected, huh? I swear most things the de Moonasterios possess are useless things.

n“Congratulations, Emperor Nero,” Commander Ruto said indifferently, slightly bowing his heads towards Nero. “Congratulations on becoming the new Moon of the Great Moonasterion Empire.”

nNero smirked. “Now I have the power to kick you back to your own homeland, Commander Ruto.”

n“Well, if Your Imperial Majesty don’t mind not seeing Neoma again, then I don’t mind.”

n“What the heck are you saying?”

n“I’m not leaving without Neoma– never again.”

nNero caught his father breaking the armrests of the throne several times since he was a child.

nBut only now did he understand why such things happened.

nWhen Nero grabbed the armrests of the throne, those flimsy things broke into pieces right away.

nIt wasn’t Father’s fault that the throne was flimsy, so it’s not my fault either.

n“Just so you wait, Commander Ruto,” Nero said, clenching his jaw. “You’ll soon realize that it’s easier to save the world than marry Neoma.”

nI should scheme with Father later.

n“Do your worst, Your Imperial Majesty,” Commander Ruto said calmly. “Your Imperial Majesty will also soon realize that it’s easier to burn the world to ashes than stop me from marrying Neoma.”

nThis thief is thick-skinned, huh?

nNero was finally about to curse when, suddenly, someone clapped.

nIt was Callisto de Luca.

nAh, I almost forgot that he was here.

n“Congratulations, Emperor Nero,” Callisto de Luca said, looking so smug for some reason. “It’s an honor to witness your ascencion to the throne.”

nNero scoffed, raising his hand. “Well, your greeting doesn’t make me happy.”

nHe snapped his fingers, instantly summoning hundreds of ice daggers ready to aim at Callisto de Luca at any moment.

n“Emperor Nero, don’t!”

nIt was Commander Ruto who stopped him.

nAt first, Nero didn’t understand why the commander was suddenly stopping him.

nBut he soon found out the answer when the throne room began to crumble.

nAnd it was all because of Nero summoning his power.

nTo be fair, he only meant to summon hundreds of ice daggers. He wasn’t that reckless to attack without abandon when he knew that both Hanna and Dahlia were still under the throne room.

nHowever, it seemed like he had underestimated his own strength.

nThe hundreds of ice daggers quickly turned into thousands, and what was supposed to be ice daggers turned into ice greatswords. Not only did the number and the appearance of his attack change– the amount of Mana also did.

nWhat was supposed to be a light attack had turned into an attack that was enough to bring down a small nation like the Hazelden Kingdom.

nNero, despite the dangerous situation he created accidentally, was actually amazed.

nAm I more powerful than Neoma now?

n“Yes, that’s it,” Callisto de Luca said, watching in awe even though all those ice greatswords were pointed at him. “You should at least be half as powerful as Nikolai de Moonasterio when he ascended the throne during his prime.”

nWhat?

nNero was insulted.

nI’m only half as powerful as my Father during his prime?

nThat annoyed him, almost pushing him to launch his attack.

n“I got them out, Commander!”

nNero got distracted when he heard Gin’s voice.

nWhen he turned to his side, he saw the demon cat coming out of the warp gate with Hanna and Dahlia.

nThe Black Witch was still unconscious, so Gin– in his human form– carried Dahlia in his arms.

nHanna, on the other hand, rode on her shadow griffin.

nI’m glad they’re both safe.

n“Thank you for giving me a wonderful show, Emperor Nero,” Callisto de Luca said, even giving him an exaggerated bow– his entire body had already turned translucent. “See you later.”

nWhat?

nNero stood up, ready to run after Callisto de Luca.

n“Your Imperial Majesty, just let it go. It’s just a shell anyway,” Commander Ruto said in a hurry. The commander had his arms raised, his unbelievable amount of purple Mana shooting out of his palms like it was nothing. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the commander was the only person preventing the throne room from collapsing. “Please control your Mana or else the throne room in the outside world would explode!”

nHe didn’t like it.

nI absolutely hate to be ordered around if the order didn’t come from Neoma.

nBut Nero knew that Commander Ruto was right this time. “I’ll do it because it’s what I’m supposed to do and not because you ordered me, Ruston Solfrid.”

n***

nNIKOLAI was half-relieved and half-worried when he saw the door to the throne room return to where it was supposed to be.

nIt only meant that Nero had successfully and safely ascended the throne.

nHowever, his son’s huge amount of Mana and newly gained Moonglow were threatening to blow up the entire palace.

nHe had already ordered his knights to evacuate everyone.

nHowever…

nThis amount of power would surely cause a huge explosion, and it’s inevitable for the weak to get hurt.

nBut, of course, he would do anything to stop that from happening.

n“Your Imperial Majesty!”

nNikolai wanted to correct Geoffrey Kinsley and say that he was no longer the emperor, but the urgency in the Paladin’s face stopped him. “What happened?”

n“It’s Princess Neoma’s “children!”” Geoffrey said in an urgent voice. “They just came back from the Imperial Shrine. The children said the real body of Princess Neoma has appeared there, and the ice protecting it has started to melt!”

n“What?!”

nWhy did Neoma’s body appear there?

nAnd the ice that Nero made started to melt?

nThat wasn’t supposed to happen because Neoma’s real body was hidden in Trevor’s palace in the Underworld.

nOh, right.

nThe Ancient Devil did appear with ill-intentions.

nHowever, there was a reliable person that Nikolai sent there to stop the Ancient Devil from hurting their children.

nRufus Quinzel, you better be safe.
