Returning to the Capital

One month later,

The whole capital was in uproar. Today was a day of many occasions. The most important of which was the coronation ceremony of the new king. The news that the king had died in battle had spread like wildfire within the kingdom, and the crown prince was named the next king almost immediately, with no dissent from any noble.

Liu Feng was expecting a few problems from the duke who's son he had killed, but it was apparent that no one dared to question royalty, especially when he was about to be king.

Liu Feng's power was already cemented. After the war was concluded, the whole army unanimously agreed to follow Liu Feng's orders. After all, why wouldn't they? He was the reason why the war was one with very few casualties. And, the addition of a whole dragon tribe also helped to establish Liu Feng as a premier presence in the landscape.

Inside the palace, however, the story was completely different.
