Royal Secret: I'm a Princess!

NERO didn't mind when he felt his father's Moonglow entering his soul.

But he got annoyed when he felt Neoma's Moonglow, too.

[Tsk. This Moonglow has no loyalty. How dare you leave my twin sister unprotected, huh? I swear most things the de Moonasterios possess are useless things.]

"Congratulations, Emperor Nero," Commander Ruto said indifferently, slightly bowing his heads towards Nero. "Congratulations on becoming the new Moon of the Great Moonasterion Empire."

Nero smirked. "Now I have the power to kick you back to your own homeland, Commander Ruto."

"Well, if Your Imperial Majesty don't mind not seeing Neoma again, then I don't mind."

"What the heck are you saying?"

"I'm not leaving without Neoma– never again."

Nero caught his father breaking the armrests of the throne several times since he was a child.

But only now did he understand why such things happened.

When Nero grabbed the armrests of the throne, those flimsy things broke into pieces right away.

[It wasn't Father's fault that the throne was flimsy, so it's not my fault either.]

"Just so you wait, Commander Ruto," Nero said, clenching his jaw. "You'll soon realize that it's easier to save the world than marry Neoma."

[I should scheme with Father later.]

"Do your worst, Your Imperial Majesty," Commander Ruto said calmly. "Your Imperial Majesty will also soon realize that it's easier to burn the world to ashes than stop me from marrying Neoma."

[This thief is thick-skinned, huh?]

Nero was finally about to curse when, suddenly, someone clapped.

It was Callisto de Luca.

[Ah, I almost forgot that he was here.]

"Congratulations, Emperor Nero," Callisto de Luca said, looking so smug for some reason. "It's an honor to witness your ascencion to the throne."

Nero scoffed, raising his hand. "Well, your greeting doesn't make me happy."

He snapped his fingers, instantly summoning hundreds of ice daggers ready to aim at Callisto de Luca at any moment.

"Emperor Nero, don't!"

It was Commander Ruto who stopped him.

At first, Nero didn't understand why the commander was suddenly stopping him.

But he soon found out the answer when the throne room began to crumble.

And it was all because of Nero summoning his power.

To be fair, he only meant to summon hundreds of ice daggers. He wasn't that reckless to attack without abandon when he knew that both Hanna and Dahlia were still under the throne room.

However, it seemed like he had underestimated his own strength.

The hundreds of ice daggers quickly turned into thousands, and what was supposed to be ice daggers turned into ice greatswords. Not only did the number and the appearance of his attack change– the amount of Mana also did.

What was supposed to be a light attack had turned into an attack that was enough to bring down a small nation like the Hazelden Kingdom.

Nero, despite the dangerous situation he created accidentally, was actually amazed.

[Am I more powerful than Neoma now?]

"Yes, that's it," Callisto de Luca said, watching in awe even though all those ice greatswords were pointed at him. "You should at least be half as powerful as Nikolai de Moonasterio when he ascended the throne during his prime."

What?

Nero was insulted.

[I'm only half as powerful as my Father during his prime?]

That annoyed him, almost pushing him to launch his attack.

"I got them out, Commander!"

Nero got distracted when he heard Gin's voice.

When he turned to his side, he saw the demon cat coming out of the warp gate with Hanna and Dahlia.

The Black Witch was still unconscious, so Gin– in his human form– carried Dahlia in his arms.

Hanna, on the other hand, rode on her shadow griffin.

[I'm glad they're both safe.]

"Thank you for giving me a wonderful show, Emperor Nero," Callisto de Luca said, even giving him an exaggerated bow– his entire body had already turned translucent. "See you later."

What?

Nero stood up, ready to run after Callisto de Luca.

"Your Imperial Majesty, just let it go. It's just a shell anyway," Commander Ruto said in a hurry. The commander had his arms raised, his unbelievable amount of purple Mana shooting out of his palms like it was nothing. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the commander was the only person preventing the throne room from collapsing. "Please control your Mana or else the throne room in the outside world would explode!"

He didn't like it.

[I absolutely hate to be ordered around if the order didn't come from Neoma.]

But Nero knew that Commander Ruto was right this time. "I'll do it because it's what I'm supposed to do and not because you ordered me, Ruston Solfrid."

***

NIKOLAI was half-relieved and half-worried when he saw the door to the throne room return to where it was supposed to be.

It only meant that Nero had successfully and safely ascended the throne.

However, his son's huge amount of Mana and newly gained Moonglow were threatening to blow up the entire palace.

He had already ordered his knights to evacuate everyone.

However…

[This amount of power would surely cause a huge explosion, and it's inevitable for the weak to get hurt.]

But, of course, he would do anything to stop that from happening.

"Your Imperial Majesty!"

Nikolai wanted to correct Geoffrey Kinsley and say that he was no longer the emperor, but the urgency in the Paladin's face stopped him. "What happened?"

"It's Princess Neoma's "children!"" Geoffrey said in an urgent voice. "They just came back from the Imperial Shrine. The children said the real body of Princess Neoma has appeared there, and the ice protecting it has started to melt!"

"What?!"

Why did Neoma's body appear there?

And the ice that Nero made started to melt?

That wasn't supposed to happen because Neoma's real body was hidden in Trevor's palace in the Underworld.

[Oh, right.]

The Ancient Devil did appear with ill-intentions.

However, there was a reliable person that Nikolai sent there to stop the Ancient Devil from hurting their children.

[Rufus Quinzel, you better be safe.]
