Chapter 247: The Coronation Ceremony (v)


    After taking notes and recording, one of the 30 men walked to me and said, "Good..." he looked at his watch and continued, "Good evening, my King"


    Huh?


    His eyes are...


    "My name is Ulker. And I will be your person bodyguard from today onwards"


    "Wait, wait. What are you talking about?"


    "I will be your personal--"


    "I heard that. But no one has asked for a personal bodyguard"


    "It is government nned"


    "I don''t need a bodyguard"


    "But-"


    "I don''t need"


    "Lil Das"


    "What?"


    "He is..." Dau whispered to me.


    "Fine"


    "I will protect you with my life"


    "You are the only one, right?"


    "Yes!"


    "What about your sister?" I asked.


    "You remember us?!"


    "Yeah"


    Dau just told me.


    "Marie is still in the training program. She will be here after two months"


    "I see. And...your eyes, it''s working properly?"


    "Yes! Thanks to Queen Ang''s grace"


    His one eye is artificial.


    "My prince--King, it''s time for that--"


    "We areing"


    A maid came to inform us, but before she could finish what she was saying, Dau interrupted her.


    "Let''s go Lil Das"


    "Yeah"


    "King Das!" Ulker said.


    "What?"


    "Both, me and my sister are indebted to the Edens family, and we will try our best to serve you"


    "Yeah, whatever"


    We went to the main balcony, and the rest followed us.


    "There are more people than I had expected"


    "They are all here to congratte you"


    "I doubt that"


    The garden was filled with people of all ages.


    They are not here to congratte me or anything, they are just here to....


    12 maids came with a te full of gold and silver coins. And 8 maids with a te full of diamonds.


    I took a fistful of silver coins in one hand and gold coins in another, and threw them at those people.


    That''s right. They are just here for this.


    No one cares about the king, all they want is fortune. All they want is...they just want, never give anything.


    It is not something hanging on the tree, so I can just give it to them.


    The citizens who don''t care about the king, never deserve to be in the king''s shadow. They can die for all I care. They have nothing to do with me.


    With all these thoughts in my mind, I kept throwing gold and silver coins, as well as diamonds at them.


    They were trying to catch it like animals. Like some kind of hungry animal who hasn''t been fed in weeks.


    They were punching and beating each other, trying to snatch from one another.


    I don''t know why my ancestors did such a thing as a tradition, but I know they wanted to see how their citizens were.


    Many died from being crushed and many got injured, but no one cared about them. All they wanted was this gold and diamonds.


    About an hourter, the garden which was full is now empty, with blood on the ground.


    Injured were sent to hospital and the dead were sent to the cemetery.


    "72 died and over 300 were injured" Dau informed.


    "It''s their own fault. They came here knowing well about all the risks"


    "We will be sending 1 million to the families of victims"


    "Do whatever you want"


    We are on our way to the throne room. Followed by those men.


    Once we go back to the throne room, the ceremony will end.


    "Are you tired?" Dau asked.


    "Not tired, but I am bored"


    "Show some excitement"


    "I am excited about--"


    "After party"


    "Yeah"


    We entered the throne room.


    I climbed the pedestal and sat on the throne.


    Finally.


    Finally!


    Finally, I am here.


    I am still unsure about the question grandpa asked me earlier.


    ''What type of king do you want to be?''


    I don''t know.


    I don''t n to be a good king who can be a hero to be admired by everyone.


    I gestured Dau to sit on the throne.


    Her face flushed as she turned her face away.


    I am the King now.


    I will make her do something now.


    Of course, there is a limit.


    Thest thing I want her is to hate me. And I will never do something that makes her hate me.


    I got up and walked down.


    I noted that the gaze of those men has changed, in a bad way of course.


    Well, not that I hadn''tpredicted this.


    "Hey, I am the king now, aren''t I?" I yelled.


    "Yes" Ulker replied.


    "And the kings'' words are absolute, aren''t they?"


    "They are"


    Only Ulker and two other men were replying. The rest were just giving me the re.


    "It is the duty of every citizen of this kingdom to obey the king, right?"


    "Country!" a man walked out of the group and said, "It''s a country, not a kingdom."


    "Not for long"


    "It will always be a country! And we have no need to obey you. You have no powers. You are just a King with a name, nothing else! No one will remember you!"


    "Is that so? Well now that I am a king, I n to remove the government slowly. There are many crimes going on in this city, in this country. And it wouldn''t be strange if any of those crimes happens with government. There have been many natural disasters, many idents. And it wouldn''t be strange if the government died in that. There have been many terrorist attacks! And it wouldn''t be strange if the entire government got bombed! Would it now?"


    "What are you trying to say?"


    "What am I trying to say?! I am saying I will take this country back and make it a kingdom. And I am going to rule it. I am going to rule you!"


    "Dream on. You are just a government pawn who has no power"


    "Kneel"


    "Fuck off"


    "I said kneel!"


    All the security and the maids present there kneeled.


    I nced to my right, Ulker and two other men were kneeling, while all others including that guy were just standing.


    I nced to my left and saw Dau kneeling. I poked her with my sword and asked her to get up.


    Now then, what is going on?


    They don''t look like they want to cooperate here.


    And I am not the one who started this, am I?


    He dashed at me with a dagger, trying to stab me.


    I took out my sword for the sheath and cut his head in one go.


    His head fell down a meter away from his body, and his body fell down with a dagger stabbed on its back.


    Ulker had also stabbed him from behind, but my sword reached his head first.


    Dau was bewildered. She took out her sword too. And the security team aimed their guns at those men.


    I looked at Ulker.


    He bowed down and said "Believe me, my King. This man wasn''t one of ours. He must have slipped inside somehow"


    "Do I look like a fool? Do you really think I would believe such ame excuse?"


    "It was our first time seeing each other. And I had no idea if they were on the team or not"


    "Aren''t you their leader?"


    "I am"


    "They had ID"


    "I checked them, and it weren''t fake"


    "So that means they were sent by the government to kill me!"


    And here Dau was being worried that any stranger slip in and attack me, when the security themselves are here to kill me.


    It''s good that none of my family members except Dau are here. And Dau has seen me killing people before.


    Now then, let''s kill them all, shall we?
