Chapter 438: The Banquet

Chapter 438: The Banquet

The Great Demon Empire was in a festive mood and the imperial palace was filled with peak experts from all over the Crimson Fiend Continent. Some superpowers outside the Great Demon Empire even sent their representatives to join the celebration.

At this moment, the area outside of the imperial palace had more than a hundred thousand soldiers stationed. All of them had sharp auras, a clear sign that they were veteran soldiers.

The representatives sent by all the major powers were in awe when they saw this terrifying army!

"I heard that the Bloodfallen Family has fallen, but it seems like all those rumors were untrue."

"Indeed. Just look at those soldiers. Who would dare cause trouble here with them on stand-by?"

Suddenly, everyone noticed that the entrance of the imperial palace was opened. Artaurus, dressed in his battle imperial garment came out with several generals following behind him.

"Is that guy, Prince Artaurus?"

"Yeah, it's him. I heard that he was inflicted with a serious illness when he was young, but he has now recovered. This seems like a good omen for the Bloodfallen Family."

Artaurus Bloodfallen smiled at the various representatives. "Good day, everyone! I apologize for making you wait. Everything has been prepared inside the palace and I formally invite all the representatives to come with me inside to spectate the coronation of my sister, Cornelia."

His voice was filled with confidence and charm that made everyone who heard him feel at ease.

"Your Highness, you don't have to apologize. We are cultivators! This little bit of waiting is nothing! Hahah!" Someone from the crowd lightened the atmosphere and the others soon laughed along with him.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Artaurus smiled and gestured them to follow him. "Come! Follow me inside the imperial palace! We prepared a grand banquet for all you valuable guests."

Everyone followed Artaurus grouped as they entered the palace. Only those with a considerable amount of authority were allowed to get inside. As for the others, they could only watch the coronation through a video screen that was powered by an Array Formation. However, despite the difference in treatment, no one dared to cause trouble. After all, there was a huge army stationed just right outside the imperial palace! Only idiots would dare to be impudent in this situation...

Artaurus brought the guest inside a spacious hall where the banquet was held. When they arrived, there were already some representatives from other major forces chatting in groups of four or five.

"Everyone, your seats have already been prepared. Please escort our guests to their seats." Artaurus said before he left.

"I've brought the last batch of guests to the banquet hall. You can start the banquet, Cornelia." Artaurus whispered to the communication crystal in his hand.

"Alright. Thanks, big brother." That was the reply he heard from the communication crystal.

After keeping the communication crystal, Artaurus walked towards a group of elites and joined their conversation. Their Great Demon Empire might be strong, but it wouldn't hurt to get more allies, especially now that they would be at war with the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family.

A soothing melody suddenly entered the ears of everyone inside the hall. They couldn't help but stare at the front where the sound had come from. Seated on a chair was Cornelia who was wearing red and gold imperial robes. Her hair was tied exquisitely, adding more charm to her already beautiful face.

Cornelia was playing a melody using a harp. Her slender fingers danced as she plucked the strings in a rhythmic pattern.

Everyone closed their eyes as they savored the beautiful melody. They felt their ears tingling in ecstasy as the melody continued.

Soon, Cornelia ended the melody, but everyone was still immersed in that soulful play.

Not long later, everyone snapped out of their daze and clapped their hands.

"Your Highness' harp skill is truly out of this world!"

"Splendid performance, Your Highness!"

Cornelia let out a smile when she heard everyone's words. She then stood up and said. "Welcome, everyone! I don't like to start this banquet with a long boring speech, I hope everyone enjoyed my performance."

"We enjoyed it, Your Highness!"

"Great job, Your Highness!"

"Please enjoy the banquet, everyone. The coronation ceremony will begin after this. Thank you for coming here." Cornelia cupped her fists before she sat down in the most prominent seat together with some elders from the Bloodfallen Family.

The banquet continued.

Everyone in this hall was an expert in their own field. Large business deals and alliances between major forces were built throughout the banquet! This was the reason why many major forces decided to send their representatives here! It was for the opportunity to converse with other superpowers and gain friendship from them!

Meanwhile, a group of youths suddenly walked towards Cornelia. They wore smiles on their faces as they glanced in her direction. However, everyone could somehow feel the tension in the atmosphere when these youths moved towards the princess.

"We thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful performance, Your Highness! Even until now, I am still spellbound by your harp skills." The leader of the youth said as he bowed at the princess. His action was full of grace and respect.

This youth was the grandson of Stormhoof Torgrim, Bylor. The strongest youth among the Torgrim Family's younger generation!

Everyone in this hall were astute individuals, they could already sense the hostility between the two sides. However, no one dared to speak about this and they merely watched the scene with interest.

"Lord Bylor, thank you for your kind words. My harp skill isn't that good, but I am practicing all day to sharpen my skills." Cornelia remained in her seat and smiled at Bylor and his group. She was also on her guard since this might be an elaborate ploy concocted by the elders of the Torgrim Family, but when she recalled that Ren Shuang was nearby, she felt a bit relieved.

"Your Highness is too modest. We won't take too much of your time, Your Highness. I know that the day is still long...." Bylor flashed a smile before he left with his group.
