How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Chapter 60 Return

Canalland, North City, Alons White Court.

Nearly an hour had passed since the coronation ceremony was scheduled to begin.

The Victory Square encompassed by the White Court of Arons was crowded with people coming from all over the kingdom or residents of Canallan. They all looked forward to it at first, then whispered to each other, and then some disharmonious voices began to emerge among the crowd.

It was not until a group of temporary garrison troops arrived that order was restored at the scene. Even these troops who were maintaining order at the scene did not know what exactly had happened.

Why has the parade not arrived yet?

Not only the people and the army below, but also the officials of the Kingdom of Levis in the palace above the White Court of Alons were also confused, except for Austin, Enros and some people like Bayard, Louis, Hall or Austin's faction who knew the truth.

But even knowing the truth, both sides couldn't help but feel worried.

Austin was worried about his plan because there was no news for a long time. Enros and others were simply worried about the safety of the princess and whether the coronation ceremony could be successfully completed.

"It's been almost an hour, Your Highness. Even if there was a delay during the parade, it couldn't have taken this long."

Bishop Anthony did not notice the expressions of the two people. He just kept looking out of the palace and the clock next to him from time to time, with a hesitant look on his face. "What is going on? Have you sent someone to investigate?"

I would like to know too.

Austin frowned. Logically speaking, with his plan and arrangements, this amount of time should have been enough to deal with the parade, including the princess. It was impossible that no news had been received yet.

But of course you can't say that.

"I'm sorry, Lord Anthony, my previous judgment may have been a little biased. There seems to be signs of unrest in the East City District."

Austin hesitated for a moment and said, "Although Commander Ron has already arrived, I don't think this is a trivial matter. Perhaps we should postpone the coronation ceremony and hold it at another suitable time."

"No."

Before Bishop Anthony could reply, Enros' voice was the first to be heard.

Enros said solemnly, "Postponing the coronation ceremony would damage the reputation of the royal family. Holding it again would consume a lot of manpower and resources. Moreover, the time cannot be set arbitrarily. According to the calendar, it may take several months."

"It doesn't matter if it's postponed for a few months. Noah also needs time to learn about etiquette and governance."

"No, the most important thing for Her Highness right now is to succeed to the throne immediately to ensure the legitimacy of the royal family. Otherwise, there may be voices of criticism among the people, and some dangerous organizations will take advantage of the situation to start a movement."

"With me here, who would dare to have any ill intentions towards Noa? But you, Prime Minister, only have your eyes on the coronation ceremony at this time and turn a blind eye to Noa's safety?" Austin sneered.

"I dare not. I just want to remind Your Highness that this is of great importance."

Enros cursed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

Bishop Anthony had been in the church for many years and was unaware of the conflict between the prince and the prime minister, and naturally did not know why the two suddenly had a dispute. It was at this time that Austin suddenly brought the topic back.

"What do you think, Lord Anthony?"

Just as Bishop Anthony was about to speak, there were suddenly unusual noises and loud cheers coming from Victory Square, attracting the attention of everyone in the palace.

"Go see what happened?"

Enros quickly called the guard next to him and asked him to go to the outer wall to check the situation.

The guards came back soon, and as if they were infected by the atmosphere of the crowd below, they brought back the news excitedly.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived outside the White Court of Arons. No, the parade has arrived."

"What!?"

Everyone couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise, including Austin and Enros, but the emotions they expressed were different.

Enros was surprised, while Auston was even more shocked and angry. Fortunately, at this time, everyone else's attention was attracted by the guard's words, and no one noticed the look on Auston's face.

"Has the parade really arrived yet?"

Bishop Anthony was also startled and asked quickly. After all, there had been no news for a long time, and now suddenly received such news, it was really hard to believe.

Before the guard could reply, a melodious and majestic music suddenly came from the Victory Square below the White Court of Alons, accompanied by the soldiers' uniform slogans and rising salutes.

Everyone immediately recognized that this was the official start of the coronation ceremony.

If it was possible that the guards did not see carefully, it was obviously impossible that so many people including the royal orchestra and the army had made a mistake. The facts had proved that the parade had indeed arrived.

Bishop Anthony reacted quickly, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the outer wall with several clergymen beside him.

Close behind were Enroth and the Prime Minister's faction.

Austin looked uncertain, and after a moment's silence he stood up from his seat. Everyone in the faction looked at each other and could only follow him.

Victory Square, below the White Court of Arons.

Lifting the veil of the sedan chair, looking at the tall White Court of Aarons in the distance, feeling the enthusiastic emotions of the people around him and the solemn and magnificent atmosphere of the entire square, Noah felt his breathing quicken a little, and a nervous emotion spread in his heart.

At this moment, a hand reached out from the side, held her palm, and helped Noah step down from the sedan chair.

The warm and familiar touch reminded Noah of the days when they supported each other and the many people who had helped him. Although there was bitterness, there was more warmth.

Just like a stone thrown into the water, it completely dispels the tension accumulated in my heart.

"It's up to you from now on."

Inina spoke softly beside Noya in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Noah took a deep breath and nodded, his expression turned solemn, and he walked along the red carpet towards the long steps of the main entrance of the White Court of Arons. Although young, he also faintly showed the majesty of the royal family in his royal robes and crown, and with many royal guards lined up behind him.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

He followed the parade, or rather, he organized this makeshift parade.

Ron glanced at Inina's worried expression, then looked away and comforted her softly.

Inina didn't say anything, just nodded and fixed her gaze on the figure in the distance.

Facing many eyes in the square, and at the end of the salute and music, Noah finally arrived at the top floor of the White Court of Alons. Here she was greeted by Bishop Anthony and others who had been waiting for a long time.

Chapter 61: Judgment (I)

Anthony looked at the oncoming team, with a kind look on his face, and waved.

"Come here, child, let me take a good look at you."

"Your Majesty Bishop."

Noah nodded slightly and walked in front of Anthony.

Anthony looked at the girl in front of him carefully, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes. "Although this is the first time we meet, I can see that you have some of your father's shadow. He was a very good king and an old friend whom I still miss."

"Can you answer me, will you carry on his legacy and lead all the people of Levis to make this country more beautiful and glorious?"

Anthony's voice was gentle, but his words themselves carried a great deal of pressure.

Facing the pressure of the country's fate, Noah took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, there was only a firm look in his eyes and cheeks. "This is what I should do."

Anthony was very satisfied with the girl's reaction and reached out to the side.

Several accompanying clergymen handed over the holy scriptures with understanding and prepared for the other steps of baptism.

At the same time, the army below the White Court of Aarons also restored order, and the originally noisy square gradually became quiet like a surging tide.

Only Anthony's voice, which was blessed by magic and slowly emerged, was left, reciting the obscure words in the scriptures, which sounded solemn and holy under the harmony of the church choir.

"...Noah Brenner, are you willing to become the heir to the royal family of Levis, care for and protect every citizen of Levis, give them a beautiful and happy life, and lead the entire country to glory?"

Noah raised his head, his eyes shining brightly.

"I am willing!"

Anthony smiled and nodded, then sprinkled olive leaves soaked in holy water on Noah's head. After baptizing and blessing him according to the procedure, two priests came and put on a golden-red royal robe for Noah.

Last but not least, Anthony picked up the crown that symbolized his noble status, solemnly placed it on Noah’s head under everyone’s attention, and handed the scepter that symbolized power to the other party.

At this point, the new king of Levis finally ascended the throne.

Noah raised his head, and with the encouragement of Anthony's eyes, he walked to the coronation platform and spoke loudly to the tens of thousands of people below the White Court of Aarons, and even to all the people of Levis further away.

"I, Noa Brenner, hereby declare that I will officially take the throne as the Queen of the Kingdom of Levis."

"I swear here that I will care for and protect every citizen of Levis, respect them and give them a beautiful and happy life. I will implement justice and law and will never tolerate sin. I will do my best to lead the entire country to glory!"

The answer to Anthony was an oath to God, and now the oath was to all the people of Levis. This firm voice sounded above the White Court of Arons and also resounded throughout the Victory Square.

Although immature, the emotions contained in it are like a stone thrown into calm water, stirring up ripples in the hearts of countless people below.

The quiet square suddenly erupted into warm cheers like a tsunami.

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"

"The Queen! The Queen!"

These voices were all responses to Noah's oath, and were also filled with their passionate emotions. The music, salutes and fireworks that were played again brought the atmosphere to a climax.

Noah looked at the cheering crowd below, an unknown emotion stirring in her heart, causing tears to form in the corners of her eyes, but she quickly calmed down and followed Anthony back to the palace.

Officials from Levis offered their blessings here.

Enros looked at Noa, who was wearing a royal robe, a crown, and a scepter, and whose aura of a queen was beginning to emerge, and he was quite pleased. "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Uncle Enros, thank you for your help so far." Noah smiled.

“This is what I should do.”

Auston's expression was uncertain, but he finally restrained his emotions, walked forward and smiled and blessed, "Noah, congratulations, I have arranged a banquet tonight, and you should have a good rest next."

"No, it's not over yet. I think we should settle the accounts between us, Prince Austin."

Noah turned around, looked at Auston and spoke slowly.

Especially the last sentence, which was almost uttered word by word.

"Ahem, why don't I understand what you are saying, Noah?"

Austin's heart skipped a beat, but he still felt relieved and pretended to be confused.

Most people in the palace didn't understand what was happening and looked at each other.

Bishop Anthony was equally puzzled and tried to persuade him, "Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding between you and the prince?"

"No, Bishop Anthony. The attack on the two empires' delegations in the Ocean Stone Mansion and the assassination of the princess who was about to succeed the throne at the coronation ceremony are not something that can be explained by ordinary misunderstandings."

Noah shook his head.

The amount of information contained in these words was so huge that it shocked almost everyone.

Austin's face darkened and he clenched his hands. "Noah, there are some things you can't say carelessly. You are now representing the identity and face of the entire Levis Kingdom."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please be careful with your words."

"Everything must be based on evidence, Your Majesty, and you must not speak nonsense."

The voices of many ministers in the palace also rang out, all of them were members of the Austin faction.

"Evidence, I have plenty of evidence."

Noah's expression did not change at all.

As she finished her words, a tall and straight young officer walked out from among the many officials.

"Bayard?" Austin recognized the identity of the young officer at a glance, his face gloomy, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"Your Excellency, you don't have to threaten me with those means. Since I dare to stand here, I have no fear."

Bayard took his time, facing the many eyes around him, taking out the information from the adjutant and handing it to Bishop Anthony, "Your Excellency, these are the information I collected."

"Regarding the attack, the delegations from both sides of the Empire can also provide evidence as they were involved."

"Yes, your Excellency, we can all prove it."

Louis and Hall looked at each other and walked out at the same time with several members of the delegation.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, the East City District has basically stabilized, but the commotion inside cannot be explained by ordinary riots. At least thousands of people are involved in armed fights, and there is evidence that the chaos was caused by an organized and disciplined attack on the princess."

Ron separated the officials on both sides, walked to Bishop Anthony, and also stood next to Noah.

The position is obvious.

Take a day off tomorrow.
