Chapter 262 Ascension
The bell tolled twelve times, and the king died.
Lu Yi and Lulton, who had just entered the city, were both stunned.
It's still too late.
Lulton's eyes were blank, his movements were flustered, but he didn't know what he was doing. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to Lu Yi, but no sound came out.
Lu Yi squeezed his wrist vigorously and whispered, "Go quickly."
-
The royal palace.
Lena wore a simple and plain black robe and covered her face with black lace mesh.
Through the black mesh that covered her entire upper body, Lu Yi couldn't see her expression and state, so he could only walk towards him quickly.
"Mother!" Lulton stepped forward and held Lena's cold hand, distressed and helpless, "Mother, how are you? Are you okay? I'm late, mother..."
Lena shook her head, her voice a little hoarse.
"You guys go in and see Wende first. Take a good look at him. This should be the last time you see him."
Lulton immediately turned and went into the house.
Lu Yi was a step behind him and whispered to Lian Na as he passed by her: "My condolences."
He originally wanted to comfort her, but his words sounded so polite and dry.
Although he couldn't see Lian Na's face, Lu Yi intuitively felt that her mood had worsened. This realization made him a little at a loss, and he began to panic and make small talk.
"Your Highness, death is the final destination for each of us. It is just a matter of time. As long as we are not forgotten, those who left earlier are just staying with us in a different way...
"Please don't be too sad..."
Lian Na still shook her head. "We always thought that we had plenty of time and that we could make up for the mistakes we made in the past, but that's not the case at all. Once you miss something, you may never make up for it in your lifetime. Some regrets will always be regrets."
Lu Yi paused, realizing what she meant.
What does Lena want to say?
Is it the misunderstanding between him and Wendel, father and son?
Lu Yi had no way of answering.
Whether he thought it was a pity or not, Lena would not feel relieved.
Fortunately, Lian Na seemed to just want to talk and didn't care about Lu Yi's answer. She silently stroked the green gem between her thumbs and took the initiative to change the subject.
"How are you doing at the reef? It seems that Elder Hicks has successfully found a solution?"
Lu Yi recounted their experiences briefly and without reservation regarding Lulton's choice.
After listening to this, Lian Na was silent for a long time. After a long time, she murmured: "Is this the guidance of God?"
"What?" Lu Yi asked subconsciously.
"Wende left me two wills." Lena did not hide anything and slowly took out a scroll from the space ring.
"One is for Lulton to succeed. The other is to clarify your true identity, bring you back to the royal family, and let you succeed.
"I was originally still hesitating about what to choose, but now it seems that I don't have to worry about it anymore."
Lu Yi did not look at the scroll, but said very solemnly: "It is not without precedent in the history of the empire that the queen ruled. If Your Highness is not happy with it, you can come back after Lulton gets used to the mermaid blood in a few years.
"Whether it's Her Majesty the Queen or His Majesty Lulton, I will offer the loyalty of the Klein family."
"No, there's no need to be so troublesome." Lian Na finally smiled. "You can't kidnap the mermaids back to the human race after they have finally found a leader, right? Elder Hicks will fight you to the death!"
"Then just let him fight me to the death!" Lu Yi was not afraid at all.
"As for me... there's no need to think about it. I've been away from my hometown for too long. There's no one here that I'd miss. It's time for me to leave."
Like Wendell said, back to the reef, back to her real home.
Lu Yi was stunned, blinked slowly, and asked softly: "Are you going back to the reef? Are you going to stay there and not come back?"
The mother who gave him life, whose identity he had just revealed not long ago, told him to leave so easily.
Lu Yi was somewhat unable to react.
Was it because he replaced Lulton as the heir to Wendel's throne? Was it because Lulton was also going to the reef? So Lena also immediately decided to return to the reef?
But he had never thought about inheriting the throne, nor did he care about the so-called royal identity. He could always be Lu Yi Klein!
Lu Yi had previously been secretly delighted with the fact that he had the love of two mothers, but he did not expect that reality would teach him a lesson again.
Maybe these two kinds of maternal love are only half?
Just as Mrs. Cline's first priority is always Astor Cline, Queen Victor's first priority is also Lulton Victor.
Instead of him, Luy Klein, or Luy Victor.
Lian Na finally realized Lu Yi's unnatural expression and explained anxiously: "Lu Yi, I returned to the reef only because that is the home of mermaids. Your father Wendel is gone, and I don't want to stay in this sad place anymore. No matter who goes to the reef or stays in Xinshengli, it will not change my decision."
"Is that so?" Lu Yi pretended to be suddenly enlightened.
Intellectually, he believed that what Lena said was true, but his emotions made him feel a surge of sourness in his heart.
"No matter what decision you make, I will understand and support you." Lu Yi said.
——No way.
"I believe that you will be able to take over the New Victory Empire, just like your father, and lead New Victory to a better and more prosperous future."
Lu Yi replied in a low voice: "If this is your wish, I will."
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.
After a long while, Lian Na hesitantly said, "...then do you want to go in and see Wendel again?"
"No, Lulton would like to be alone with His Majesty for a while." Lu Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know what to say when I go in..."
"Please allow me to leave first. My father and mother must still be worried about me."
Lu Yi turned around quickly, without losing any of his aristocratic elegance, but his entire expression was gone.
It was as if all his strength had been drained away the moment he turned around, and his whole body was filled with the fatigue of traveling all night.
Although he was going back to Klein Manor, Lu Yi did not leave the palace.
He was so exhausted now that he didn't even have the energy to respond to any concerns.
Lu Yi just wanted to find a place to lie down, empty his mind and have a good sleep. Of course, it would be best if he could have a big warm bed.
Lu Yi had a blank expression on his face and walked forward aimlessly like a ghost.
A black-haired attendant came forward rashly without saying a word. Even when he was bending over, one could tell that he was extremely tall.
Lu Yi's heartbeat quickened, and he ordered, "Stop!"
"Look up."
The black-haired and dark-skinned man raised his head obediently, with a soft light in his narrow black eyes.
"…Ares?"
Lu Yi choked up as soon as he opened his mouth.
Ares suddenly panicked and hurriedly went forward to wipe his tears.
"What's wrong, dear? Who bullied you?"
There was a dark flash in Ares' eyes. Although the human body could not withstand His power, for him it was just a matter of finding another one.
"No." Lu Yi shook his head, "No one bullied me, I just felt a little sad suddenly."
"Don't be sad, baby. If you're sad, I'll feel depressed here too."
Ares held Lu Yi's hand and guided his hand to his chest.
"The human heart is so strange. Can you make it stop beating so painfully?"
There was the sound of a strong heartbeat beneath his palm, and the sound was so clear, as if it was beating only for him.
From a certain perspective, this idea was not wrong. Ares really came for him alone, Lu Yi thought.
"Why are your hands so cold? This shouldn't be the case..." With the nourishment of divine blood, there is no one healthier than Lu Yi in the entire Isaiah continent.
"How about another tentacle? I'll find you one with more blood..." Ares said seriously, as if he would take action the next second as long as Lu Yi nodded.
Lu Yi was amused by his serious expression, with tears in his curved eyes.
Ares's Adam's apple rolled, and he asked in a low voice: "Can I kiss you? Dear..."
Rather than a question, this is more like a plea, or an intimate act of coquettishness.
Lu Yi nodded.
He thought Ares would kiss him on the lips, just like they had exchanged countless passionate kisses.
But Lu Yi didn't expect that Ares just bowed his head devoutly and gently kissed away the tear at the corner of his eye.
Ares's flattering voice came along with his shallow breathing.
"Can I sleep with you? Sweetheart..."
Lu Yi nodded again modestly.
Some moments are remembered for a long time in a relationship, like this moment.
At this hour of dawn, when he was forcing himself to sort out his broken heart, someone called him softly, calling him "baby" and "good boy".
It was countless moments like this that bound them together until they could no longer be separated.
…
…
Victor V's funeral was held with great ceremony.
However grand and magnificent it may be, it will eventually come to an end. Just like Wendell Victor himself, in his short life, he created great achievements, but ended brilliantly and quickly.
The new king was supposed to take the throne, but a royal secret suddenly emerged and attracted worldwide attention.
The misplaced life was restored under countless hard evidence, and Lu Yi Klein's true identity was exposed to the sun.
The queen, who is known for her ruthless methods, suppressed the criticism and brought Lu Yi back to the new Victory royal family in the name of revitalizing the royal family.
From then on, there was no longer any Viscount Louis Klein, but Louis Victor, the eldest son of the new Victorious royal family.
The decree of Louis Victor's succession was also made public.
No one doubted the authenticity of Lu Yi's identity, nor did anyone doubt the authenticity of the imperial edict. In this magical world, it was not difficult to verify something that had a source that could be traced back.
What's more, compared to a weak little prince, a powerful prince who commands an invincible army would obviously be a better candidate for successor.
-
The seventh day after Victor V's funeral was the day the new king ascended the throne.
The succession to the throne went even smoother than Lu Yi had imagined. Before he could even come to his senses, the day of the coronation ceremony had already arrived.
Outside the palace were countless subjects waiting eagerly.
Lu Yi sat in the huge palace, surrounded by countless maids serving him.
They carefully and meticulously combed his long, smooth golden hair, which was gleaming and radiant. The king's coronation dress was hastily made to be the most suitable size for him, with not a single inch more or less.
The clothes were wrapped in layers of gorgeous clothes, and countless complicated accessories were placed in an orderly manner where they should be. Gold, silver, jade and jadeite were all transformed into just the right gorgeous accessories under the skillful hands of the craftsmen.
Such an extremely complicated outfit should have made the wearer inconspicuous, but on Lu Yi, everything was the opposite.
The more complicated the clothes, the more gorgeous the accessories, the more they serve to set him off. No matter how pure the gold and blue are, they cannot stand up to his hair and eyes.
The moment he slowly stood up, everything completely became the green leaves under his light.
All the servants serving in the palace bowed down and respectfully saw the new king off.
-
The noisy ceremony came to an abrupt end at this moment.
The Royal Sonata Orchestra paused for only a moment, and then burst into even more exciting and enthusiastic music.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the new king who was at the head.
No one dared to talk about the new king who had made great achievements in war. The new king's dazzling face also made them speechless. They could only stare at him blankly, following his figure with their eyes all the time.
Lu Yi calmly accepted all the gazes and walked calmly towards the former queen Lena Klein Victor at the steps of the throne.
Due to the conflict with the Holy See, the new king of the New Victorious Empire did not invite the Holy See to crown him when he ascended the throne. Instead, he chose a completely new candidate for coronation, and the new king's biological mother, the former queen, crowned him.
Lian Na was also wearing a gorgeous dress, and she watched Lu Yi walk towards her step by step with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Lulton stood beside her, holding the wooden tray on which the crown lay.
Lu Yi stood in front of Lian Na.
His long hair was neatly combed and tied in a bun on the top and back of his head to accommodate the crown.
Lian Na looked at Lu Yi.
This competent queen had a lot to say to the new king and her children, but in the end, all those endless words turned into a simple reminder.
"I believe that Your Majesty will lead New Victory to heights that even your father has never seen."
Lu Yi nodded, "As you wish."
Lena turned around and held up the heavy crown with both hands.
Lu Yi lowered his head slightly, and then felt a strong weight coming from above his head.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
He took over Wendell Victor's new Victory Empire and had to shoulder the future of this empire, whether good or bad.
Lu Yi raised his head and walked steadily up the steps covered with red carpet, his steps slow and firm.
Everyone held their breath and stared at him intently.
All the subjects bowed before the huge throne.
Lu Yi wore a crown on his head, held a scepter in his hand, turned around and sat down, and opened his lips softly amid the countless people bowing to him:
"I grant you invincibility."
"A new victory - great and immortal."
"In the name of Louis K. Victor."
New King of New Victory Empire
——Louis .K. Victor, Victor VI
The new king of the New Victory Empire - Victor VI, Louis K. Victor.
A distant voice comes again after a long separation, coming from the sky.
