Chapter 1784: Chapter 1016: The Queen’s Coronation Chapter 1784: Chapter 1016: The Queen’s Coronation “Long live Her Majesty Ariel Watson! May the heavens bless our king!”

Amidst the incessant cheering in the Grand Hall–beyond the bowing nobles, representatives of neutral forces, and diplomats from foreign nations–
Our Subordinates and lords like Quinn Serena were equally thrilled, joining the crowd in their loud acclamations.

However, it would be more accurate to say they were cheering for Leo Ray rather than for Ariel Watson.

Everyone clearly understood that it was because of Leo Ray’s emergence that this fragmented kingdom could be reunified and hold such a grand Coronation Ceremony!

Seated upon a throne above all but one, Ariel Watson’s starry eyes sparkled with a myriad of thoughts.

At this moment, though everyone was shouting her name, pledging their loyalty, her gaze rested solely on the one figure in the room who remained standing–
That was Leo Ray.

Only her Lord had the right to stand in the presence of the king, rising above this supreme authority!

It was also because of her Lord that she was seated on this golden throne, realizing her ideals!

“Lord, you really did it.”

At this moment, Ariel was the most excited one.

Not because of this supreme throne, not because she had become the Queen of Coldflame City with immense power, but because of her Lord.

When the hall finally fell silent and everyone rose to their feet, Ariel’s fair complexion remained solemn, and her crisp yet dignified voice echoed in every corner of the Grand Hall.

“My subjects of the Coldflame Kingdom and our esteemed guests, thank you all for attending my Coronation Ceremony.”

“Before I begin my speech, I would like to tell everyone a story.”

“Once, there was a forest that went through a long period of turmoil, leaving the Lion King, who stood at the Pinnacle of Hundred Beasts, covered in scars and in a sorry state.”

“Yet even wounded all over, the Lion King’s fangs remained sharp, its claws still unbroken–it only became more deadly through the trials of blood and fire!”

“Now, the Lion King has healed; its scars are its glory and its deeply engraved memories,
It will never fall into misery again, nor will it allow the forest and all its beasts to face any threats. It will use its fangs and claws to tear apart any enemy who covets it! Its fury will be unmatched!”

“This is the Lion King’s Faith, and its persistence, even at the cost of life itself.”

Ariel’s voice was resolute and forceful, revealing an unwavering determination and decisiveness.

As Leo Ray listened to her voice, his gaze slowly shifted toward the group of diplomats from other nations.

Though it was only a story, the intention behind Ariel’s words was unmistakably clear.

The Coldflame Kingdom, though in need of reconstruction, would not succumb to any force coveting its land.

Any nation preparing to wage war should be ready to face retaliation from the enraged lion.

Both Leo Ray and Ariel understood clearly.

Their opponents would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Therefore, these words were not only a threat but also a declaration of the Coldflame Kingdom’s resolve to fight to the death.

Within the splendid Grand Hall, Ariel’s words were met with strong approval from Coldflame Nobles as they clenched their fists in firm resolve.

And those diplomats, despite appearing nonchalant on the surface, even showing moved expressions, were filled with disdain and derision in their hearts.

Just an ailing lion, they thought. Would they not seize the opportunity to destroy it?

A young queen, an alien Mr. Lane with unsteady footing, this kingdom full of holes, none of their nations would let it go.

Leo Ray’s eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized the composed diplomats, sensing a subtle Killing Aura.

Though they were trivial, if a crisis were to arise at the borders, not one of them would manage to slip out of the Royal Capital with any documents or intelligence.

“The Coldflame Kingdom was born from fire; it never fears fire, nor is it frightened by smoke–it can be content with its state or become even stronger!”

“Nowadays, our Law and citizens have together walked through darkness, storms, and a Sea of Knives and Fire, and this very moment is enveloped by Dawn!”

“The Corrupt Nobles have been vanquished, and all will be under the protection of the Kingdom’s law, forever enjoying the Peace and Happiness that is to come!”

“As your Queen, I hereby solemnly declare that from this moment onward, no one will be able to shake this Great Kingdom again. Including myself, all citizens of Coldflame will stand together, hand in hand, to meet any new challenges!”

Ariel’s impassioned voice reverberated in every ear.

After Ariel finished speaking, the entire Grand Hall erupted into a never-ending applause.

Upon every Coldflame Noble’s face, there was an expression of exhilaration.

Their Queen was crowned amid the ashes of war; she was strong and resolute. And they, along with their families, would reach new heights under the Queen’s guidance and protection!

“The reason why the Coldflame Kingdom has been reunited, the reason I am able to stand here–every citizen of Coldflame and my Robe and Ze–assembled here have made an Indispensable Contribution.”

“It is you who have upheld this Great Kingdom with your blood and bodies, supporting my Throne. I will not forget your contributions, nor will the Kingdom forget!”
