Chapter 2003. Darmos

They left Chris' secret garden. Jack and Grace returned to Thereath. Jeanny and Paytowin returned to Heavenly Citadel. John and Linda went elsewhere.

Jack checked with Thaergood to check the preparation for tomorrow's coronation. A notification about the coronation had been broadcast throughout the country. Everyone was surprised by the news. The citizens thought there was some kind of political power struggle going on. They just went through the tension of the underworld invasion followed by the appearance of a tyrannical God. They couldn't handle any more country-scale trouble. The authorities had to assure the citizens repeatedly that this was the king's wish. There was no foul play.

Thaergood asked if Jack could postpone the coronation to next week. Many native nobles were not in the capital. Only a few could attend tomorrow's ceremony since the usage of the zone portal for natives was limited.
