How he became emperor XI

Samael gathered everyone in the meeting room. Standing at the end of the table, he scanned all the faces gathered around it. From his right was Heliot, Beatrice, Klaus, Claude, Silvia, Yulis, Ramin, Kristina, Noah who came after receiving a royal invitation, Cameron, Dominique and Jayden fresh from their cells, and then Rufus. 

"You must have heard it already," he spoke, breaking the thick silence that reigned the meeting room. "I planned on taking the throne. If you have any objection, speak now."

His tone was low and calm, but one couldn't tell what he would do if anyone object. Not that any of them planned to — even Dominique and Jayden remained silent.
