1138 Flames of War Rise 3 (1/2)
”Alright!” Jun Wu Xie said suddenly: ”I am willing to claim the throne.”
Lei Chen and Lei Xi were ecstatic and they immediately paid their respects in a grand voice.
”Your loyal vassals welcomes Your Majesty!”
The frosty chill deep within Jun Wu Xie's eyes had not melted away as she turned and looked at the Thousand Beast City covered with the sea of flowers.
She had just rescued the Thousand Beast City out of the abyss and now, she must definitely liberate her hometown from the flames of war!
[Nobody, is allowed to harm her family in the slightest!]
[Or else, even if she had to die for it, she would still make them pay for it with their blood!]
”Your Majesty! While your humble servant was making his way here, I have already readied the army. All that is needed now is for Your Majesty to return to the Imperial Capital with your loyal vassal to hold the ceremony for the ascension to the throne and we'll be able to mobilize the army to go to the Qi Kingdom the very next day!” Lei Chen went on to say. He had placed his stakes right! Jun Xie really did value the Qi Kingdom highly.
”Alright.” Jun Wu Xie nodded. The Qi Kingdom was facing a huge crisis and Grandfather and Uncle were trapped within the smoke over the flames of war. She will not sit back and watch the fire burn!
That very night, on his very own big day, Jun Xie announced that he was returning to the Fire Country and Qu Ling Yue who was still dressed in her wedding dress expressed her willingness to accompany him and then delegated to Xiong Ba to take charge of all affairs, big and small within the Thousand Beast City temporarily. Thereafter, disappearing into the night, Jun Wu Xie, Jun Wu Yao, Qiao Chu and the rest of the companions stepped forth on their way, to go back to the Fire Country.
On this journey, once the first step was taken, they would not have any opportunity to turn back again.
The companions who set out that night, had absolutely no idea of the kind of terrifying change, that going into this war, would bring about to their future.
Jun Xie returned to the Fire Country under a lot of fanfare and the ceremony for the ascension was held the very same day. The Empress Dowager made an appearance personally and before all the kneeling officials who bowed to pay their respects, Jun Wu Xie, resplendent in a golden dragon robe, stepped up onto the throne in the Fire Country which symbolized supreme and unparalleled authority!
