Chapter 546 - Ascend to the Throne 4 (1/2)

Honest Prime Minister has died.

This tragedy made them unable to accept for a while. Honest had scolded them and even made their life a bit miserable, but they couldn't accept it when they saw that Fatty died in this way.

The Empire's two most powerful people died today.

Honest Prime Minister had died and turned into mincemeat on the ground.

General Budo was wrapped around a thread from Cross Tail while also losing consciousness. The only thing that remained was the willpower of from the blood of Danger Beast on his body, but he would die soon.

The Little Emperor also had been assassinated by Kasugano Haruka.

Suddenly everyone didn't know what to do in this situation since they had lost their leaders.

”Y - You...!? Don't think that you can't get away after what you have done, Kasugano!!!”

The former prime minister Chouri pointed his finger at Haru and said, ”Guard! Come and catch this person who has posed himself as the Emperor!” He knew that he needed to use this chance to make the Empire turn better. Even though Honest and General Budo had died, he could regain his power within the Empire and made it better for people.

However, Chouri couldn't let Haru become the king and hurriedly asked the guards to catch Haru.

When the guard entered the room, they were coming because Honest asked them for help, but after they saw that Honest had died. They pointed their spears toward everyone in this room.

The subordinates of both Honest and Budo were too late to react when they saw the guards didn't point their spears at Haru but at them.

The head of the guard kneeled in front of Haru and said, ”The guards are now under the order of Majesty.”

Then, one by one people kept coming to the room and kneeled in front of Haru showing their respect to him and acknowledged him as the next king of the Empire.

The majority of people who kneeled in front of Haru were those who were in power within the Empire.

In the early beginning of his day, Haru had been inviting a lot of officials and the leaders of the army who had been neglected in their organization to become his subordinates after he had succeeded in becoming the Emperor. He gave them a benefit and roped them into his party making them into his supporters when he ascended into the throne.

It was quite a trouble, but it was worth it since after he became the Emperor there would be a lot of trouble and he needed the help of the officials and the leaders of the army to help him.

Everyone was also happy when they saw a chance to raise their rank and authority in exchange for their boss's places.

Haru had created a chance for Night Raid to assassinate the superiors of his subordinates and some of them even assassinated their superiors directly to seize power. He believed that as long as there was an interest everyone would be very happy to follow him. Even though his charisma was high, he didn't think that he could make everyone follow him unconditionally. He needed bait to make them follow him and made his position as Emperor stable before cleaning the bad people.

Within a short time, Haru had controlled the entire military power in the entire Empire.

Haru had usurped the Empire and became the new king of the Empire.
