Chapitre 142: Coronation(1)

The day of the coronation had finally arrived. In the weeks leading up to it, the realm had been thrown into chaos, its once-relatively-stable order now shattered beyond recognition. Nobles found themselves entangled in a whirlwind of events so baffling and swift, few could make sense of what was happening.

First came the shock of their prince's death. Rumors spread like wildfire—killed in an engagement with the very mercenaries he had hired. Some claimed it was a betrayal, others said that the prince was the one that ordered for the head of the commander in a fit of madness. But before the nobles could process this, news arrived of his daughter, Jasmine, seizing control of the throne. To their astonishment, she not only pardoned the mercenary captain responsible for the prince's death but re-hired him into her service.
