381 Long Live The King!

The moment the Ritemaster placed the black crown adorned with draconic symbols upon Asher's head, the air in the room seemed to shift, charged with a newfound reverence and authority, "Hail King Asher Drake, the Bloodburn King, Protector of the Demon Kingdom, Master of the Kraken, and Lord of House Drake!" the Ritemaster's voice boomed, echoing throughout the grand hall of Demonstone Castle.

The gathered crowd responded in unison, their voices melding into a powerful chorus that resonated with loyalty and recognition, "Long live the king!" they chanted, their words filling the expansive space with an energy that was almost palpable.

The nobles from the three great houses, acknowledging the gravity of this historic moment, rose from their seats. Their bows were deep and respectful, a symbol of their acceptance and acknowledgment of Asher's new role and authority despite some of them not liking this.
