"You will be a great monarch." Garth said to the man in the mirror, "You can do better than your father." ”

After saying that, Garth took the noble hat and cane handed by the maid, and strode out the door.

He had all the preparations and couldn't wait to start a new era.

Garth exited King's Landing through the side door, then walked around to the front, and walked in surrounded by the Guards, swearing that the castle was his own.

As he appeared outside the palace, the invited guests applauded and cheered.

Garth's gaze circled the hall, taking in the looks on everyone's faces, and he paid special attention to his two younger brothers.

Claudio and Allister, both of whom were standing at the front of the crowd, bowed their heads at the sight of him in submission.

Garth also saw his wife and wept tears of emotion.

Garth smiled at her and looked away, this time his gaze falling on the Bone Throne at the other end of the hall.

There was a flash of eagerness in his eyes, and then he no longer hesitated and took a step towards it.

Garth remembers playing with Claudio in front of that chair as a child, and Claudio pushed him to climb up to take a look, only to be bumped into by Durham outside the door, told Edward II, and was beaten.

At that time, Garth didn't really think that this chair looked a little gloomy was interesting, and even sat on it a little awkwardly.

But now of course he doesn't think that way anymore, and he understands why he was beaten as a child.

This was his seat, and it belonged to him alone, and no one could touch it until he died, not even his closest relatives who were of the same blood as him.

Thinking so, Garth had already walked in front of the ossuary.

In full view of everyone, he sat down.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then the cheers in the hall became more and more enthusiastic.

Garth sat upright on a bone pedestal, like a young lion, full of majesty in his every move.

Miss Rabbit also felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, not as suffocating as when facing the Earth Bear, but even more fearful.

For the first time in her life, the female lord felt the dramatic change that power brought to a person's temperament.

She hadn't felt much when she met Garth just a few days ago, and the first in line to the Empire's first line of deference in front of her father didn't even feel like she had any presence.

Now it's like a completely different person.

The eldest of the Vespasian family today is "Good Fortune" Jerome, who is three hundred and twelve years old, with dizzy eyes and poor ears, and probably needed someone to help him walk last year.

After only a short moment of standing and gasping for breath, Garth was afraid that he would suddenly fall to the ground in the middle of the ritual and die.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Sierlen supported him and moved step by step to the stone steps, but after a dozen steps, Jerome walked for a while before he arrived, which made many of the guests present a little impatient.

Garth also felt that his uncle and grandfather were too slow, and he was thinking about whether to ask someone to help him again.

Just then, there was a commotion outside the main hall, and then Duren, the chief guard of the Imperial Guard, walked in through the doorway.

Garth frowned, a little displeased, "It's too late, Sir Duran. ”

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I've been busy investigating His Majesty's assassination these days."

The words of the captain of the royal guard made Garth a little uncomfortable, especially the title that Duren called him, although strictly speaking, as long as Garth did not wear the crown and took over the family heirloom sword, he would not be the new emperor of the empire.

But he was already sitting on the Bone Throne, and no one called him His Highness anymore.

But today is a good day for his coronation, and Garth is not good to have a seizure because of such a small thing, so he just nodded and said, "Then you can find a place to stay." ”

However, hearing his words, Duren did not step aside, but took two more steps forward.

"Your Highness, I have something urgent to report."

Garth almost blurted out, what could be more important today than my coronation, don't you have a little eye?

But in the end, he held back and just said coldly, "You wait first." ”

"I didn't mean to interrupt your ceremony, but this matter is really urgent, and I must say it now." Durham continued.

Garth's face darkened.

At the same time, the other guests around also smelled something unusual.

"Guards, drive this impudent out of my castle!"

Garth decided not to talk nonsense anymore and just blasted this nasty guy away in front of him.

However, the guards beside him were a little hesitant when they heard this, Duren had been the chief guard of the Royal Guards for decades, and these guards were all his subordinates.

If Garth had become the new emperor, they would naturally not be able to disobey Garth's orders, but the coronation ceremony had not yet been completed, and Durham had not resigned from his position yet.

In the face of Duren's aftermath, they didn't know what to do for a while.

Garth was not lightly angry, and made up his mind in his heart that he would replace all the royal guards in the future.

"Your Highness, please listen to what I am going to say next, and it will not be too late to catch up with me." Without waiting for Garth to reply, Duren said in a deep voice, "I have found the murderer who poisoned Your Majesty. ”

The second half of his sentence caused an uproar.

Although the nobles of the royal capital were most concerned about the coronation of the new emperor during this time, the death of Edward II was also not forgotten.

As the only emperor of the empire to be poisoned for hundreds of years, it is obvious that he cannot just die without knowing it.

Finding the murderer is also a matter of expectation, but most people thought that the investigation would last for a while, but they didn't expect Duren to find the murderer so quickly.

And seeing that the chief of the guards of the royal forest mentioned this matter, Garth could not drive him out again, otherwise it would seem that he only wanted to be the emperor and was indifferent to his father's death, which would damage his reputation.

So Garth could only follow Duren's words and ask, "Who is the murderer?" ”

Duren didn't answer immediately, but said, "I started the investigation and first interrogated His Majesty's drinker, Walde, but he didn't order the poison, and he's pretty sure he didn't see any suspicious people around that day."

"It wasn't just him, there were a lot of people in the stands at the time who could testify, and I didn't see any strange people approaching the flask."

"Getting to the point." Garth was a little impatient.

Du Lun raised his head, "This means that the poison must have been caused by someone close to His Majesty." It was impossible for Walder to keep the wine in his hand all the time, in fact the jug was on the table beside him most of the time.

"And Wade's eyes don't stay on the flask, he only becomes alert when someone who feels threatened approaches the flask."
