Volume 3, Chapter 73 – Peaceful Dawn

As the morning sunlight filtered into the city, Sky Dome, the capital of the Snownight Empire, awakened from its slumber. At this moment, the city welcomed its most important day in centuries, the date specially chosen for the new emperor’s Coronation Ceremony.

In the traditions of the Snownight Empire, although the emperor could be called such before the coronation, they did not yet possess all of the emperor’s powers. The Coronation Ceremony could be seen as an ancient and sacred ritual; after it concluded, the emperor would receive the blessings of all ancestral spirits and become a truly strong guardian of the empire. Therefore, every Coronation Ceremony was the most important event in the Snownight Empire.

However, unlike previous ones, the scale of this Coronation Ceremony seemed to exceed everyone’s imagination, and its popularity was unprecedented. This was perhaps because the one ascending the throne was the man of prophecy, the Chosen Son, and the national hero who had defeated a demon king tier existence to save the empire: Xue Tian’ao Valedyn.

At this moment, almost all citizens of Sky Dome firmly believed that this new emperor’s coronation would lead the Snownight Empire back to its former peak. In the public’s perception, their new emperor Xue Tian’ao was powerful, handsome, gentle yet resolute, wise and incredibly humble—a sagacious ruler rarely seen in a thousand years. Therefore, Xue Tian’ao’s popularity in Sky Dome was almost unbelievably high. After all, this was the base he had cultivated for many years.

When the sunlight dispelled the darkness, the entire city boiled with excitement as people took to the streets spontaneously to hold various lively celebratory activities; whether they were elderly, children, or busy workers, they all began to enjoy this historic day to the fullest. Laughter, festive cheers, and soul-stirring music echoed through every street and alley.

The people of Sky Dome looked toward the high peak where the palace sat with great anticipation, joyfully awaiting the arrival of the Coronation Ceremony; even though it was still early morning, the level of bustle was extraordinary. Likewise, they hoped they might be lucky enough to see their valiant idol with their own eyes during this ceremony, and a fanatical worship gradually began to show in people’s eyes…

When the atmosphere in Sky Dome boiled and countless crowds began to sing loudly to welcome the coronation day, these joyful songs inevitably rushed into Spirit Star Mansion, the residence of the Ashurmos Church members, waking the beautiful silver-haired girl who had been sprawled on the bed, sleeping for a long time. Then, this girl with a face comparable to a goddess rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched, and slowly climbed out of bed. A moment later, with the silver-haired girl’s permission, the Ashurmos Church maids entered the bedroom in an orderly fashion and began to wash, bathe, and dress her to prepare for the upcoming grand ceremony.

In the bathtub, the silver-haired girl, our Miss Mengxi, slowly opened her eyes while enjoying the maids’ service and gazed thoughtfully toward the imperial palace of Sky Dome. Then, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Last night, Mengxi had enjoyed a good night’s sleep for the first time in a long while. On one hand, it was because she had replenished her strength from Sister Yumo earlier, so there were no withdrawal reactions for the time being. On the other hand, and the main reason, was that Sister Bai had brought her some quite good news, allowing Mengxi to sleep soundly without worries.

‘Miss Yu of the Blackrose Family has left the imperial palace.’

Before learning this news yesterday, Miss Mengxi in Spirit Star Mansion had been pouting almost constantly, her light purple amethyst-like eyes filled with displeasure. At the thought of her Sister Yumo actually going to the palace alone, Mengxi’s heart burned with anxiety.

She feared Yumo might be exposed, she feared Xue Tian’ao might steal Sister Yumo away from her side, and she was also a bit resentful that Sister Yumo hadn’t listened to her and went to see that Xue Tian’ao. If not for Archbishop Nick’s restrictions, Mengxi might have had the urge to rush into the palace last night to find her, beat up Xue Tian’ao, and then tie Sister Yumo up and bring her home.

Fortunately, after Mengxi had been uneasy for a long time, Bai Yanluo brought back news that delighted her: Sister Yumo had already left the palace. Upon hearing this news, Mengxi was immediately relieved. After learning the time Sister Yumo left the palace and her expression at the time from an informant, the heavy stone in Mengxi’s heart completely shattered.

This news not only allowed Miss Mengxi to enjoy a good dream last night but also caused her to show a sweet smile while bathing now; her peerless face paired with a sweet smile made the surrounding maids serve her in a daze, as if their souls had been briefly snatched away.

‘That’s great, Sister Yumo wasn’t tricked away.’

Moreover, Sister Yumo’s expression seemed very gloomy when she left the palace. Although she wasn’t sure what exactly happened, given Sister Yumo’s good nature, she must have been very angry. It seemed that fellow Xue Tian’ao really courted death.

‘Hmph, serves him right,’ Miss Mengxi muttered smugly in her heart.

Then, the silver-haired girl showed a look of anticipation. If Sister Yumo was unhappy, it was the perfect time for her to comfort her sister and then take the opportunity to deal a few more blows so that Xue Tian’ao would have no hope of a comeback!

However, if she wanted to truly eliminate the possibility of Xue Tian’ao pursuing Sister Yumo, she still had to find a way to make that guy disappear completely. For a moment, a dangerous thought slowly surfaced in Miss Mengxi’s mind.

Thus, while thinking about how to target Xue Tian’ao, Miss Mengxi accepted the service of the maids. After finishing her bath and purifying the moisture on her body, Miss Mengxi coiled up her beautiful long silver hair and put on the white-gold robe specific to a candidate Saintess. Already filled with a holy aura, Mengxi, combined with this outfit, almost transformed directly into an inviolable messenger of God; a sacred and pure aura filled the air around the girl.

After changing her clothes, Miss Mengxi ignored the obstruction of the surrounding maids and left the bedroom on her own. Forget it, she wouldn’t think about those things for now.

‘Now, it’s time to go find Sister Yumo.’

Not far away, on the roof of Spirit Star Mansion, Miss Bai Yanluo, who had changed into her exclusive silver-white knight armor, heard the calls of the maids and looked down curiously. Watching the silver-haired girl who took it upon herself not to follow the church’s team but to head toward the Snownight imperial palace alone, Bai Yanluo couldn’t help but palm her forehead helplessly. “Mengxi, you girl…”

How could Bai Yanluo not know Mengxi’s thoughts? It was expected that Mengxi, who didn’t want to set off with Nick and his son Felix, would leave early. Seeing Mengxi’s joyful expression, she was surely going to see that Miss Yu, right? After all, after spending a night at the Blackrose Family residence before, Mengxi had been constantly thinking about that beautiful black-haired girl.

However, seeing this scene, Miss Bai Yanluo involuntarily frowned, her azure eyes filled with solemnity.

‘Wait?! Wasn’t that girl obsessed with the little girl from the Duke Family recently? She had even shown such anxiety because the little girl went missing. Yet now? How many days had passed? Had our Mengxi’s thoughts already been completely snatched away by that black-haired girl?’

While she had to admit the lady of the Blackrose Family had beauty of a level rarely seen in the world, wasn’t the speed of Mengxi’s change of heart a bit too fast?!

‘…Wait?’

‘Could it be that the girl has the constitution of a scumbag girl?!’

Thinking of this, Bai Yanluo immediately showed a conflicted expression, and her heart began to wonder if she should have a good talk with Mengxi about this.

Bai Yanluo was happy to see Mengxi liking girls; that way, she would have a companion. But being fickle was absolutely forbidden! However… if it were that black-haired girl, perhaps she would be a better match for Mengxi… And if two beautiful girls of that level were pressed together at negative distance as described in books? Imagining that erotic scene, Bai Yanluo couldn’t help but show a look like a little pervert.

‘Heehee… hehehehe…’

Just as Bai Yanluo was giggling foolishly, an Ashurmos Church knight leaped onto the roof and spoke respectfully to her. “Lady Apostle, it is time to depart. Xue Tian’ao’s Coronation Ceremony is about to begin.”

Hearing this, Bai Yanluo quickly suppressed the foolish smile on her face and put on a serious expression. “…I see. I’m coming now.”
