Novel Full Chapter 427 The Ceremony Starts
( The day of the coronation ceremony )
Asiva woke up with an unnatural pain over her neck, she did not remember anything prior to being knocked out cold and the first reaction she had after waking up was one of panic as she feared that she might have overslept and missed Max’s coronation ceremony.
Thankfully, she had woken up just in time, the day’s official proceedings had not yet started and she had a full 30 minutes to get ready and show up to the courtroom before the proceedings began.
Quickly getting ready, Asiva called the maids to help her as she prayed that in her absence Anna would have taken care of everything inside the courtroom.
Max was extremely calm before the ceremony, emanating the energy of ‘ Don’t worry, I’m in control ‘ as he helped Asiva calm down completely before the two headed towards the courtroom together. 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Asiva felt that there was something different about Max today, but she could not wrap her head around what exactly it was.
On the surface the two of them were wearing matching robes like a true couple, she was wearing a red robe with a hint of white and golden while Max was wearing a white robe with a hint of red and golden, perfectly alternating what the other wore.
Asiva wore a very precious blue rhodium pendant on her neck with matching earrings and nose ring, whereas Max wore a beautiful white mask which was unlike his usual concealer mask that covered his whole face.
This mask was white in colour and only covered Max’s face until his nose letting his perfect jawline be on full display.
It was a convenient mask that would help Max eat, kiss, drink more conveniently than his previous one where he needed to lift it up from his chin to create a small gap underneath.
It was only after Asiva kept staring at his mask for a full minute and blinked that she realised what was different about Max, as the second she blinked his white mask had turned to purple and his face structure changed significantly.
Asiva’s eyes widened in shock at this change as she jogged her memory as to when did Max obtain such an object but her mind drew blank.
She had never seen Max utilise this mask before and did not understand the origins of it either.
If it were not for Max walking with his usual aura and charisma, Asiva might have doubted that he had been replaced by an impostor and despite her urge to ask him questions about his new mask at the moment, she understood that now was not the right time.
” Now entering – The rising star of the vampire society, The destroyer of the Kingsman clan and the conqueror of Dombivli, Ravan Bloodfall”
The attendant announced as Max entered his own courtroom which was already filled with some of his most important ministers and took his seat on the throne.
In the coronation ceremony there were a lot of small procedures that happened in rapid succession and only after they were all completed and the crown was placed over Max’s head did he officially get the title of a ‘ Lord ‘ .
” Now entering – The prime minister of the Aurelius clan, the mighty tier6 god, Tingen.
He carries with him the flag of the Bloodfall clan and the blood of the Werewolf progenitor ”
The Aurelius prime minister walked inside the courtroom and walked up to the centre of the hall before bowing slightly before Ravan and sprinkling two drops of the blood of the Werewolf progenitor on the Bloodfall clan flag as per tradition.
Within the Vampire Society, the oldest standing tradition was that after the war with the werewolves on Ixtal that created the sanguine, every vampire lord who had participated in that fight ages ago dipped their clan banners within werewolf progenitors blood to remind their descendants of the glory of their ancestors.
Now many thousand years later, it was a tradition that was passed down to all vampire clan’s, as all new clan banners were also given this same privilege so that even their descendants could hold their heads high.
” The crown recognizes the fall of the Kingsman Clan, the traitors who collaborated with outcasts and supports the rise of the Bloodfall clan to the throne of Dombivli, Geonmi, Grey House, Wet planet and Paratus Capital.
All hail Bloodfall clan ”
” HAIL! ”
Everyone except Max saluted the clan banner as the prime minister respectfully walked up to Max with his head bowed and his steps nimble and handed him the banner sprinkled with werewolf blood.
Max took the flag and placed his beside his chair on a specially prepared flag holder, as the first ceremony of the day came to an end.
The Bloodfall clan had been now officially recognised within Vampire society.
” Now entering – The leader of the Galileo clan, the mighty Lord Ternan Galileo, the slayer of the flame lion which had terrorised Maren city.
With him is his subordinates carrying the gift prepared for the Bloodfall clan ”
As the announcer announced the entry of the 36th ranked clan in all of vampire society, a middle aged vampire with black eyes and a patchy beard walked inside the hall with confidence.
In the second phase of the ceremony all 36 clans were going to enter the courtroom one after another and present their gifts to the lord.
They were going to enter according to the descending rankings with the 36th ranked clan entering first.
Despite his unrefined appearance, Max could understand from his rugged hands and confident gaze that this Ternan Galileo was a mighty warrior who had seen many battles in his lifetime.
Max used [ Scan ] to see his tier, and his personal strength came out to be at the tier4 stage near the mid stages.
” For the Bloodfall clan, the Galileo clan presents a set of tableware made from pure platinum and studded with precious metals.
A total market value of 75 million gold coins.
Please graciously accept ” Ternan said with a slightly prideful expression as Max smiled and did not ruin his Goodwill either
Every clan was capable of giving out different amounts, and he could see by the beautiful tableware prepared that the Galileo clan were sincere about their gift.
” We the Bloodfall clan graciously accept your gift my lord, please have a seat in our hall ” Max said with an enthusiastic voice as Ternan smiled and took his seat at the very end of the hall.
