As Emperor Ambrose hesitated, Duke Earnest signaled the royal Knight on the side. That royal Knight stepped up and grabbed Emperor Ambrose's arm and dragged him towards the side palace.
"No, I will live and die with the kingdom. I will not leave!" Emperor Ambrose screamed and twisted his body.
Only the royal knight knew that although Emperor Ambrose kept twisting his body, he didn't use much strength to resist. Instead, he was dragged to the side hall by the royal knight.
Emperor Ambrose finally understood. As long as he was still alive, he could contact the other big nobles in the Kingdom of Saint Ellis and fight back against the Duchy of Carmel.
Or maybe he could go to the other 2 kingdoms. According to the agreement, the other 2 kingdoms should help the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
As long as there was hope, he did not want to stay here. He did not want to be a captive emperor. There had never been an emperor like this in history.
"Emperor Ambrose, you cannot leave!" Just when Emperor Ambrose was about to leave the palace with the royal Knight, Wizard Dyna appeared in a flash of white light and blocked his way.
"Wizard Dyna, why are you here? Where is the old man? Where is my army? " Emperor Ambrose saw Wizard Dyna, but he didn't notice anything strange about him, so he asked anxiously.
By this point, Emperor Ambrose had lost his usual calmness. He looked at Wizard Dyna as if he saw his savior.
"Emperor Ambrose, I am now the guardian wizard of the Duchy of Carmel. I am loyal to the prestigious King Abel!" Wizard Dyna said with murderous intent in his eyes.
It was because of Emperor Ambrose's wrong decision that he was reduced from a high and mighty advanced adept to the soul servant of a female intermediate adept.
He wanted to burn Emperor Ambrose to ashes, but he knew he had to give the Kingdom of Saint Ellis to Abel, so he could only keep his hatred in his heart.
"As for the old man, he has turned into a beam of soul light. It is the third beam of soul light in Harry Castle!" Wizard Dyna continued.
When he said the word "soul light," he saw a white beam of light shooting up into the sky. It was the last light of a rank 18 wizard's soul. It was the first image he saw in his life. He would never forget it.
"Your army is now the prestigious King Abel's prisoners, along with your son Derek!" Wizard Dyna emphasized. Every word was like a sharp sword stabbing into Emperor Ambrose's heart.
"Impossible, the old man is the most powerful wizard in the Holy Continent. No one can beat him. My army is the most powerful in the Holy Continent. How can a small Duchy defeat us? You must be lying!" Emperor Ambrose yelled as he pointed his finger at Wizard Dyna.
Wizard Dyna's eyes flashed coldly. He took a step forward. That royal Knight was a head Knight. When he saw Wizard Dyna approaching, he quickly unleashed his combat qi, but before he could do anything, he was hit by an ice pillar from Wizard Dyna.
The body of the head Knight was turned into an ice pillar. His whole body was wrapped in ice. The angry expression on his face was frozen forever.
Wizard Dyna took care of the head Knight effortlessly. The difference in rank between the two was too big.
Before Emperor Ambrose could take back his finger, Wizard Dyna grabbed it. He was too lazy to use a spell, so he pressed down with force. Crack! Emperor Ambrose screamed in agony. Emperor Ambrose's finger was broken.
Although Wizard Dyna couldn't hurt Emperor Ambrose's life, Emperor Ambrose dared to point his finger at a rank 17 wizard. No one would say anything even if he broke his finger.
"Your majesty!" Duke Earnest quickly stepped forward and helped Emperor Ambrose up. He then looked at Wizard Dyna and lowered his voice, "Wizard Dyna, how can you treat the prestigious emperor like this!"
"Haha!" Wizard Dyna did not respond. Instead, he laughed coldly.
The other 2 advanced wizards also blocked the other exits of the palace. All the important officials of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis were in this palace. As long as they could capture them, the kingdom would be in their hands.
Five Sky Ships landed in the square outside the Imperial Palace. The side cabins of the Sky Ships opened, and a group of fully armored knights mounted on warhorses walked out of the Sky Ships in an orderly manner.
These Knights quickly left the palace to take over the city.
Abel flashed away from the sky ships and appeared in front of the throne in the palace.
"The prestigious King Abel!" The 3 advanced wizards bowed.
Although there were only three of them bowing, the fact that they were elite wizards made it seem even more dignified.
Even when the Kingdom of Saint Ellis was at its peak, no rank 17 wizard would be this respectful to Emperor Ambrose. This could only mean one thing. Abel had truly taken in these 3 advanced wizards.
Abel smiled and bowed back. Afterward, he looked at Emperor Ambrose, who was holding his fingers and sweating profusely.
"We meet again, the great Emperor Ambrose. I've been waiting for this meeting for a long time!" Abel's voice was very calm.
"Abel, what do you want?" Emperor Ambrose lowered his voice and looked at Abel.
"Emperor Ambrose, you are too rude. I'm so disappointed in the traditions of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis!" Abel shook his head and looked at Emperor Ambrose coldly.
"The prestigious King Abel, please forgive the emperor's rudeness. He was just hurt by your wizards!" Duke Earnest quickly stepped up and bowed.
"Hurt? Wizard Dyna's actions are the attitude of the Duchy of Carmel! "Abel waved his hand and lowered his voice.
Duke Earnest was an old fox. He still wanted to provoke the relationship between Abel and Elite Wizard Dyna, but he didn't know the real relationship between Abel and the 3 advanced wizards.
"Thank you, your majesty!" Elite Wizard Dyna bowed with gratitude.
Being respected, especially after his life was in his hands, made him want to acknowledge Abel. Although he had lost his freedom, maybe becoming a guardian wizard of the Duchy of Carmel was not a bad thing.
"I'm here to ask Emperor Ambrose to give up the throne of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. He no longer has the right to sit on it, and his family no longer has the right to control this kingdom!" Abel said as he patted the back of his throne.
"No, even if I die, I will not give up the throne!" Emperor Ambrose yelled.
Although he had thought of the worst-case scenario, when the worst-case scenario really happened, he felt an indescribable pain. This pain was not even worth mentioning compared to the pain of his broken finger.
The Kingdom of Saint Ellis belonged to his family. It was carved out by his ancestors with their swords. Now this scary young wizard in front of him was asking him to give up his kingdom. How could he agree?
"Emperor Ambrose majesty, if you sign the throne, I can promise you that your family will still be a big noble. Although you won't have much power in politics, you won't lose your wealth!" Abel said with a faint smile.
He knew that the best way to obtain an empire was to have the other party's emperor voluntarily abdicate the throne. In this case, he would be able to obtain the entire empire, and the empire's system would not be damaged too much.
If he couldn't do that, he would have to use force. That would take a lot of time. He would have to attack every city. Although the Kingdom of Saint Ellis was very weak, and most of their Knight and wizards were gone, there would still be some loyal supporters of the royal family who would fight back.
If it took too long to take over the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, the other 2 empires would react, and trouble would arise.
Abel hated trouble, so he wanted to use the simplest way to solve the problem.
"Abel, give up. The Kingdom of Saint Ellis has been around for thousands of years. There are countless loyal nobles. They will turn the entire kingdom into a sea of fire. You won't get anything!" Emperor Ambrose roared with a vicious face.
Abel patted his head. He was getting a headache from Emperor Ambrose's attitude. Did this emperor not understand the current situation? What he just said was the most common solution in the Holy Continent.
He would give enough respect to the ruling nobles so they could still live a luxurious life, but they would lose their power.
"Emperor Ambrose majesty, maybe I'm too nice!" The smile on Abel's face disappeared. He lowered his voice and said, "If you dare to assassinate me, then you should have thought about the consequences today. If you don't agree to my proposal, then I will kill everyone in the royal family and track down every single royal bloodline in the Holy Continent. I will make your family disappear from the Holy Continent in return for your assassination!"
Abel's words sent chills down the spines of all the ministers in the palace. If someone else said this, it would be a bit exaggerated, but with Abel's power, it would be a piece of cake for him to do something like this.
"The prestigious Emperor Abel, can I talk to the emperor?" Duke Abel bowed.
"Duke Ernest, I'll give you some time. I'll wait here for the result!" Abel nodded with a sunken face.
Duke Ernest turned and looked at Emperor Ambrose majesty. He and Emperor Ambrose were blood brothers. If Abel really wanted to kill everyone in the royal family, then he and his family would be among them.
"Your majesty, since things have come to this point, please think about your family and your children. Please let them live!" Duke Ernest begged emotionally.
"Ernest, you're scared. All the ministers here are scared. These are my ministers. You're scared, but I'm not. As long as the kingdom is here, the royal family will be here. If the kingdom is gone, then what's the point of the royal family?" Emperor Ambrose's eyes flashed with madness as he pointed his broken finger towards Duke Ernest and the ministers in the palace.
"Wizard Dyna, please take the emperor's blood and make a bloodline circle. I want to find everyone connected to the emperor by blood!" Abel lost interest in Emperor Ambrose, so he turned to Wizard Dyna.
Although it was a bit troublesome, with 5 sky ships, no city in the Kingdom of Saint Ellis could stop the attack of the Duchy of Carmel. Since Emperor Ambrose had made his decision, then let's fight!
"The prestigious Emperor Abel, please wait!" Duke Ernest quickly stepped forward and bowed to Abel.
"Duke Ernest, what else do you have in mind?" Abel lowered his voice.
"Your Majesty, if Emperor Ambrose dies, then Prince Derek will be the next in line. If Prince Derek dies, then I will be the next in line!" Duke Ernest's words not only shocked Abel, but also all the ministers in the palace.
Kingslayer, this was a sin. Abel was the enemy of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. Killing Emperor Ambrose was recognized in the Holy Continent. Even if he killed the entire royal family, he would only be seen as a little cruel.
However, the meaning behind Duke Ernest's words was very clear. A kingslayer proposing to kill their own king was an extreme sin in the Holy Continent. It was enough to torture the soul of the person who proposed it for eternity.
Even if Abel wanted to start a war, he would never think of asking the royal family to kill Emperor Ambrose and let him inherit the throne. He didn't believe any royal family would accept the title of kingslayer.
"Duke Ernest, are you serious?" Abel asked.
"Yes, I'm serious. I want my child to live!" Duke Ernest lowered his voice and said with determination in his eyes.
"Wizard Dyna, please bring Prince Derek here!" Abel turned to Wizard Dyna and said.
"Yes, your Majesty!" Wizard Dyna bowed and left the palace.
The palace became silent again. However, Emperor Ambrose's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Duke Ernest. It was like he was going to bite him at any moment.
Wizard Dyna was very fast. With a teleportation circle, he arrived with Prince Derek in less than 10 minutes.
"Your Majesty, Prince Derek is here!" Wizard Dyna threw Prince Derek on the ground and bowed.
"Wizard Dyna, thank you so much!" Abel bowed and looked at Prince Derek on the ground.
"Prince Derek, your father just said that he wants the entire royal family to live and die with the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. I agree!" Abel lowered his voice.
"Your Majesty Abel, I'm a noble. I want to be treated as a noble prisoner of war. I don't want to die!" Prince Derek didn't seem to understand what was going on. Maybe he was scared out of his wits, but he couldn't help but yell when he heard the word "live and die."
"Shut up! Even if we, the royal family, die with dignity!" Emperor Ambrose scolded his son when he saw his son's ugly behavior.
"Father, you've lived long enough. You've been an emperor for so many years. You've eaten and played everything, but I haven't. I'm still young. I've been living like an ascetic all these years in order to show you that I'm the heir. I don't want to die!" Prince Derek was also very emotional, so he yelled back.
Hearing Prince Derek's words, Emperor Ambrose gave him a strange look. This was the heir he had chosen, the future emperor of the kingdom.
Abel wasn't interested in the drama between the father and son. He gazed at Duke Ernest, and Duke Ernest immediately understood what Abel meant.
"Derek, I'm sorry. The only way to save the royal family is to kill you and Emperor Ambrose. Then I can take control of the royal family and pass it to His Majesty Abel. That way, His Majesty Abel will agree to keep the royal family's status as a noble!" Duke Ernest said apologetically.
Prince Derek was stunned. He looked at Emperor Ambrose with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but he quickly threw it away.
He rushed towards Emperor Ambrose and tried to choke him. Emperor Ambrose wasn't going to let this happen, so he resisted with all his might.
All of a sudden, everyone's jaws dropped as they stared at the king and prince of the Kingdom of St Ellis. The father and son were rolling on the ground and attacking like crazy.
In the end, age was a factor. Emperor Ambrose wasn't a match for Prince Derek in terms of physical strength. Furthermore, as the heir of the emperor and the heir of the emperor, the two of them didn't cultivate any combat force. The hard work of cultivating combat force wasn't something they could endure since they were born noble.
Prince Derek had the upper hand. He rode on top of Emperor Ambrose and choked him with all his might. His eyes were filled with madness.
"Die for me, die for me!" He shouted, and the strength in his hand increased as he shouted.
Emperor Ambrose tried to pry Prince Derek's hands away, but all he could do was leave bloody marks. He didn't loosen his grip at all. Slowly, Emperor Ambrose's struggles became weaker and weaker. Finally, his hands loosened. His eyes were wide open as he breathed out his last breath.
"He's dead! I'm the emperor! I'm the emperor!" Prince Derek yelled as he stood up. Even Duke Ambrose was shocked.
Even Duke Earnest was shocked. All he wanted to do was to save his child. He didn't want his child to die because of Abel's anger, but he didn't expect Prince Derek to kill his father and the king.
Originally, Duke Earnest wanted him to kill Emperor Ambrose and First Prince Derek. That way, he would take all the blame for regicide. After handing over the throne, he would commit suicide to end the matter.
But before he could do it, Prince Derek had already done it, and he had done it so decisively.
"Your Majesty Abel, I'm the emperor. Please don't kill me. I'll give you the throne!" Prince Derek yelled as he looked away from Emperor Ambrose's body and turned to Abel.
Abel looked at the farce that was happening. He finally understood how scary the secular world could be.
"Wizard Dyna, I'll have to trouble you again. Please use my name to ask the Liante City Wizard Union and the Kingdom of Saint Ellis to hand over the throne. Ask them to come here now!" Abel said again.
"Your Majesty, I don't think my identity can affect the Liante City Wizard Union and the Kingdom of Saint Ellis!" Wizard Dyna didn't know much about Abel's identity, so he said this.
He only knew that Abel was a Grandmaster Blacksmith, but he didn't know about Abel's influence in the two Wizard Unions.
Abel smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry. As long as it's my request, no wizard will say no!"
"Yes, your Majesty!" Wizard Dyna bowed and left.
"Duke Earnest, please arrange for Prince Derek to rest for a bit. Also, I need to ask all the big nobles in Denan City to come to the ceremony. The ceremony will start in an hour. I hope all the big nobles in Denan City will be there by then!" Abel lowered his voice.
Abel was very satisfied with Duke Earnest. He knew when to back down, which was a good thing. Duke Earnest didn't have much desire for secular power. He was only here because he was forced to.
If the Kingdom of Saint Ellis had always been nice to him, he wouldn't be standing in the palace like this.
"Yes, your Majesty!" Duke Earnest changed the way he addressed Abel and bowed.
"I hope all the ministers can help Duke Earnest!" Abel lowered his voice and looked at the ministers.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers also expressed their attitude.
The drama between the king and the prince had destroyed the last bit of loyalty they had. How could they be loyal to a royal like this? What gave them a way out was that Prince Derek was about to transfer his power. According to the law, once the transfer was completed, Abel would become the rightful ruler of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis.
Emperor Ambrose's body was collected and carried away. A group of servants appeared and cleaned the palace. Afterward, another group of servants appeared and set up some festive lights and decorations.
Abel stood in front of his throne. He didn't sit down. No one bothered him.
In less than half an hour, the Knight of the Duchy of Carmel had taken control of the entire Denan City. The entire city was locked down.
All the nobles were quiet. Of course, some intermediate wizards tried to force their way out, but they were turned into ashes by the sky ships in the sky.
After witnessing the power of the sky ships, the entire Denan City was taken over by the Duchy of Carmel without any resistance.
As time passed, the carriages carrying the noble nobles from all over Denan City were heading toward the Imperial Palace.
The nobles carefully walked into the palace. When they saw the figure standing in front of the throne, they didn't dare to speak.
"Guru Abel, I didn't expect you to go this far. You are too attached to the power of the common world!" A white light flashed beside Abel, and Wizard Dunn appeared. He bowed as soon as he appeared.
Abel could tell that Wizard Dunn was trying to persuade him. As Abel's senior, Wizard Dunn's advice was very sincere. If it was an outsider, he would not have said something like this.
"Wizard Dunn, I just want a place for my family to live. I was forced to do this!" Abel let out a long sigh.
If he wasn't so powerful, he would've been killed many times over. Time and time again, he had to keep moving forward.
"Grandmaster Abel, you're already rank 15?" Wizard Dunn suddenly realized Abel's rank, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Abel no longer used the transformation necklace to hide his scent. He was no longer afraid of other threats. With Babala and the battle fort, he finally had the confidence to protect himself.
On top of the Duchy of Carmel and the throne of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, his status in the Holy Continent had become even higher. Also, with his relationship with the dwarves and the elves, he was no longer afraid of anyone, no organization, and no country in the Holy Continent.
"Wizard Dunn, I've been training very hard!" Abel's explanation was a little weak, but Wizard Dunn couldn't accept it either.
Wizards were the hardest profession to train in the Holy Continent, and Abel was already rank 15 at the age of 18. Was there going to be a 20 years old elite wizard in the Holy Continent?
Wizard Dunn thought to himself. He was speechless about Abel's distraction.
Abel was not only a rank 15 wizard, but he was also a Grandmaster Blacksmith. Now, he was the king of the Duchy of Carmel and the emperor of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis. Wizard Dunn didn't know how to persuade him.
"Guru Abel, if you want to be the emperor of this kingdom, then the Lightning clan will support you!" Wizard Dunn lowered his voice.
The Lightning clan was an organization made up of wizards with lightning talents. The most powerful wizard in the Holy Continent was Wizard Dunn. At the same time, they were one of the most powerful wizards in the Holy Continent.
"Guru Abel, I'm sorry I'm late!" Wizard Lorenzo appeared beside Abel in a flash of white light and bowed.
Before Abel could reply, another flash of white light appeared, and Wizard Allenby appeared not far from Abel.
"Guru Abel, I'm sorry I was delayed by something!" Wizard Allenby bowed as well.
"I'm very honored that 2 wizards could come. I'll have to trouble you guys this time!" Abel smiled and did a wizard bow.
The Wizard Union was the most powerful organization in the Holy Continent, and the emperor of the kingdom could only be transferred with the approval of the Wizard Union. This was the embodiment of the Wizard Union's power. Even if the Wizard Union didn't interfere with the world, the world was still under their control.
The Liante City Wizard Union had already given a lot of face to Abel by sending 2 elite wizards here. There were only 3 elite wizards in the Liante City Wizard Union. If they didn't need to leave an elite wizard here to protect the city, even the last elite wizard would have come.
"The prestigious Majesty Abel, the prestigious Wizard Dunn, the prestigious Wizard Lorenzo, the prestigious Wizard Allenby, and everyone else. I represent the royal family of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis to host today's ceremony!" Duke Earnest had changed into a brightly colored robe and stood under the steps of the throne. He bowed according to his title and said loudly.
Most of the nobles on the scene had already guessed what was going to happen. Seeing Duke Earnest come out to host, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
This meant that there would be no war, and the royal power would be transferred peacefully. This was what all the nobles wanted to see the most. This way, their benefits would not be affected.
"Today, Emperor Ambrose of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis had a sudden illness. There was no time to treat it, and he has been summoned by the gods. As the heir to the throne, Prince Derek will automatically become the emperor of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis!" Duke Earnest announced loudly.
His words caused a commotion in the hall. Emperor Ambrose had always been in good health. How could he suddenly have a disease? However, everyone looked at Abel standing in front of the throne, and the voices in the hall became quieter and quieter.
