Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

Sarah was in tears, but the old king's determination to pass the throne to his father remained firm.

After such a major event, a grand celebration was needed to boost morale, so Sarah's succession ceremony began swiftly.

With everyone in the temple as witnesses, the old priest declared Sarah the rightful heir to the throne of Miraju.

All the nobles and residents of Milazu also received the news from the live television broadcast of the succession ceremony.

"Princess Sarah is about to become the new queen of the Kingdom of Miraju!"

At that moment, all the important figures in the kingdom immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed to the capital.

The royal family and the temple also began intensive preparations for Sarah's coronation ceremony.

Ash and his friends were naturally invited to stay at the palace to witness the coronation ceremony together.

The old king also awarded each of them a lord's medal as a reward for their help to Princess Sarah.

"Sister, we can be considered nobles now, right?"

"Yes, a life lord of the Kingdom of Miraju... of course he's a nobleman!"

Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng treasured the medals they received.

Although their status cannot be inherited, they are genuine nobles as long as they are within the Kingdom of Miraju.

This was a major haul since the start of their trip, and the siblings immediately took a joyful photo together and sent it to their parents.

Over the next few days, the temple was rebuilt, the capital was repaired, and things became increasingly lively.

Ash and his friends, led by Sarah, visited all the famous landmarks in the royal capital that were related to Togepi.

This fulfilled Xiaoxia's original purpose in attending the World Togepi Trainer Gathering.

Besides May often noticing that Ash would fall to the back of the group along the way, along with either Misty or Sarah, during the tour.

Occasionally, they would even disappear for a while with one of them. When they reappeared, the person who disappeared with Ash would always be panting and have a flushed face, but nothing else seemed out of the ordinary.

We received the highest level of hospitality throughout the trip, and everyone had a great time, forging deep friendships.

At the banquet on the eve of her coronation ceremony, Princess Sarah made a special trip to the head seat to thank Ash and his friends again in front of all the Mirazu nobles.

"Thanks to Ash and his friends for being there, the kingdom was able to overcome this crisis. The Kingdom of Miraju will remember your kindness."

"I promise that no matter how much time passes, you will all be honored guests of the kingdom!"

Sarah focused on how Ash and his friends thwarted Hanzo's plot, and how Ash bravely pinned Hanzo and his well-trained guards to the ground and beat them to a pulp.

Her gaze swept across the face of every nobleman present, subtly memorizing their expressions, before she smiled gently.

Sarah still speaks with impeccable manners and poise in public, already showing the makings of a future queen.

But as soon as she was backstage, she immediately threw herself into Ash's arms.

"Your Highness, tomorrow is your coronation ceremony. Isn't this inappropriate?"

That's what they say, but Ash's hand never left the princess's waist.

He picked up Sarah and skillfully sat her on her large bed in the room.

The two were snuggled close together, looking very affectionate.

At the banquet, Sarah subtly hinted to Ash that he should come to her room later, and Ash naturally swaggered over.

Of course, this is after activating the aura concealment mode.

Speaking of the coronation ceremony, Sarah rested her head on Ash's shoulder and said to him in a slightly coquettish tone.

"Xiao Zhi, will you stay and be my husband?"

This is a marriage proposal.

However, after the incident at the amusement park, Ash had already decided to take responsibility, so there was no reason for him to refuse.

He nodded firmly, then kissed her, and the two separated after a long while.

But right after the kiss, Ash started quoting his usual lines again.

They got engaged for now because Ash still had a dream to pursue—to become a Pokémon Master—so he wouldn't stop traveling.

However, after leaving a spatial anchor, he will come to see Sarah every few days. The last thing a woman needs to consider when being his woman is whether she will feel empty and lonely.

The only concern is whether my body can handle it.

Although Sarah knew all along that Ash wouldn't stay in Miraju Kingdom because of her, she still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

However, she is not a little girl who doesn't consider her lover. Princess Sarah called Ash over tonight because she wanted to ask him for something else.

Although she is much stronger than her father, she was still a princess protected by her parents just a few days ago. Now she has to stand on her own, so it is inevitable that she has some worries.

"Ash, I wonder if I'll ever be able to become a good king."

"Don't worry, Sarah. Since Togepi has chosen you, you are naturally the most suitable king for Miraju."

"And if your father could sit on the throne for over 20 years, you certainly can too!"

Ash has always had a completely positive view of Sarah.

Because he knew that Sarah was a woman who was much more cunning than she appeared, and in terms of ruling skills alone, she was no less capable than Xiaochun and the others from the powerful families of the Alliance.

Sarah, however, still lacked confidence.

"My father was able to remain on the throne for so long because of the help of my uncle."

"Xiao Zhi, you saw it too. Those nobles at the banquet tonight were incredibly obedient on the surface, but they were all cunning and ruthless behind the scenes."

“During the time when Han Zuo’s uncle served as regent, Father only needed to guard against his uncle; the rest of the palace ministers would be managed by the regent.”

"And now Han Zuo has been imprisoned, and who knows how many people across the country sympathize with him."

Although Ash had already taken precautions to turn Hanzo into Gilluta 2.0, he had done so before.

However, Han Zuo had served as the kingdom's regent for so long, and his influence was deep-rooted. It wouldn't be so easy to completely eliminate his power in a short period of time.

Mirazouri no longer has any suitable candidates to help Sarah manage the country.

The Kingdom of Miraju has a population of 2000 million and an area comparable to Portugal in the previous world.

While the nation's power was growing, internal problems were also accumulating due to the old king's inaction and Han Zuo's chaotic rule.

Although it already has modern products such as television, radio, and Pokémon Centers, its overall technology and living standards are still far behind those of the League Core Area.

Sarah will face a significant challenge in governing this country in the future.

"So, Ash, I'd like to ask you to come with me to manage this country and serve as my regent!"

Sarah's eyes were full of sincerity; Ash's power, both in and out of bed, had deeply captivated her.

Furthermore, she could tell that Ash wasn't very interested in plotting against Miraju's Kingdom, and that the kingdom could be inherited by their children in the future.

Ash doesn't need to stay in the Miraju Kingdom all the time; he only needs to handle some administrative matters when he returns to see Sarah.

With Ash's abilities, whether someone is causing trouble or someone intends to rebel against Sarah's rule, he can resolve the situation quickly in a very short time.

Ash will become Sarah's strongest support and reliance in implementing reforms within the kingdom.

Furthermore, after Ash became regent, his Red Group was able to smoothly enter the Miraju Kingdom.

While helping the kingdom advance its technology, they can also gain considerable profits in the process.

This is a win-win situation.

It was something he could easily agree to, but at this moment, Xiao Zhi had another wicked idea.

He grinned wickedly and pinched Sarah's chin.

"That depends on your performance tonight."

"Whoa, whoa..."

……

On the second day of the coronation ceremony, the capital was packed with people.

After a grand procession of carriages tours the entire city, the new king will be crowned by the high priest of the temple in the highest square of the capital.

However, in this seemingly solemn and dignified occasion, Princess Sarah, who has always been steady and reliable, made a small mistake.

"It's one thing that I almost couldn't get up this morning, but how come there was a hair on the corner of my mouth during the carriage procession? It's so unladylike, Your Majesty Sarah."

Sarah blushed and realized what had happened after being reminded by her closest maid, Miranda, and hurriedly removed the stray hair.

However, Miranda also had some doubts.

"Sarah's hair is so smooth, but why does that one strand look curly, and the color is wrong too..."

"It was the same in the morning. Even though I had just gotten up, I said I was too full to eat breakfast..."

The survival instincts honed through years of navigating the palace suddenly sounded a warning, and Miranda knew she couldn't think too much at a time like this, so she quickly ignored them.

The rest of the process went smoothly. Under the watchful eyes of all the nobles and Ash and his friends, the crown was steadily passed to Sarah's head.

At this moment, Sarah truly became the Queen of the Kingdom of Miraju.

However, what no one expected was that as Princess Sarah completed her coronation ceremony and became Queen Sarah, her first royal decree was a super bombshell.

"Former regent Hanzo was stripped of his royal status after his failed rebellion. He attempted suicide out of fear of punishment but failed and has become an idiot."

"Therefore, the new regent will be Lord Ash Ketchum, one of the heroes who saved the capital and a powerful Pokémon trainer from the Kanto region!"

Chapter 423 Ash in Action

When Ash was announced as regent, everyone was very surprised.

Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng stared wide-eyed in disbelief, but Xiaoxia remained calm.

After all, she had participated in all the battles of the past few days, and in the heat of the moment, she even started calling Sarah "sister" and "brother," and she hadn't even wiped the words "t" off her thighs yet.

Misty was well aware of the relationship between Sarah and Ash.

She wasn't surprised at all that such a thing could happen.

As for Ash, who became the regent, he quickly got into the swing of things.

Previously, Ash had already defeated the entire kingdom's army with a single punch each.

Furthermore, after the battle, Ash rewarded them with varying degrees of rewards based on their performance during the fight.
