PLAN N

"IT SEEMS like Neoma won't be a part of the ceremony," Nero said as soon as he got to the top floor of the People's Palace. "Let's begin right away."

He was talking to Lord Manu.

The Moon Priest was in charge of officiating the crowning ceremony.

Prince Skylus of the Hazelden Kingdom was also there to observe the ceremony closer. The young prince was yet to be officially declared as the new saint, so he could only observe and not officiate the ceremony.

[But I plan to declare Prince Skylus as the new Moon Saint soon.]

The new saint couldn't be declared officially before the new emperor.

But the entire empire already knew about Prince Skylus' position since the young prince had been doing prayer rallies with the Moon Priest recently.

[There's so much to do.]

"Then we'll go ahead with the crown ceremony," Lord Manu said. "I'm worried about the 'weather,' so we must make haste, Your Majesty."
