140: The King's Choice

The words of the Human Legend also indicated that they indeed had no ill intentions, otherwise, they wouldn't have spoken of making the kingdom more prosperous in the future.

Relieved, everyone naturally applauded enthusiastically to express their excited feelings.

The Human Legend Elwin saw that the atmosphere had improved greatly, and after the applause gradually subsided, he continued:

"Since everyone has recognized me, I will now proceed with today's main topic: choosing the future King of the Kate Kingdom!

The candidate for King has been jointly decided by us, The Three Legends."

At this point, Elwin paused.

In fact, no one expected The Three Legends to conduct a democratic election, as such a thing had never happened on the Continent of Gods, where the strong are revered.

Everyone was very curious about the King chosen by The Three Legends, as generally speaking, Legends do not meddle in such affairs.

The King manages most of the country's affairs, and who becomes King concerns their future interests, so everyone listened attentively.

Due to the revelation of their strength, Arthur's Family was now standing in the front row of the crowd.

So Elwin quickly spotted Arthur and, under everyone's gaze, pointed directly at him and said:

"To be honest, we considered this person for a long time, but only truly decided yesterday. It is Arthur, known as the lucky baron!"

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone in the audience turned their gaze to Arthur. Shock, jealousy, confusion—all sorts of expressions filled the venue.

Although the presence of the Legends made it so that no one dared to openly question this decision, their various expressions revealed their inner emotions.

Even Arthur's parents, elder brother, second sister, his wives Karona and Olivia, and his younger sister Doria showed expressions of considerable shock.

However, those who knew that Arthur's relationship with the Legends was extraordinary were the quickest to recover after the initial shock.

With a little thought, they were no longer surprised by this outcome, as they were all part of the same organization.

No matter how surprised everyone was, Elwin's words from above did not stop:

"Although Baron Arthur is only a baron, the experts under his command can rank among the best in the entire kingdom.

Coupled with the revelation of his and his companions' strength yesterday, I believe everyone clearly knows that he already possesses the strength of an Earth Knight!

And Baron Arthur is only eighteen years old now. What an astonishing Genius! He has the strength to be King."

Then, the Human Legend Elwin scanned the entire venue and, finding that some people were still unconvinced, changed his tone.

"This position of King, for us three, makes no difference who holds it; we simply chose someone we found agreeable.

But now that we have confirmed the candidate, all of you must cooperate well from now on.

Otherwise, the former royal Family will be your fate!"

Elwin had always appeared benevolent before, which made everyone's reverence for this Legend less profound.

His sudden warning now made everyone in the hall immediately shiver.

No matter what everyone thought, under the warning of the Legendary Expert, no one dared to show any defiance!

In fact, the King's candidate everyone had previously assumed would most likely come from the other two ducal families of the kingdom, excluding Duke Koruk.

After all, the ducal families were the strongest in the kingdom.

The Koruk Family, now strong on the outside but weak within, did not count!

That is, Arthur's maternal grandfather, Duke Gryphon, and Duke Bilan, who had not been mentioned until now.

Of course, there were still some who harbored the lucky thought that they might be chosen.

However, those were a minority; the two great dukes were the mainstream candidates.

But after the revelation of Arthur's Family's strength yesterday, some also speculated that the King's position might fall to the Mad Lion Family.

However, everyone thought that even if chosen, it would be Arthur's parents, who possessed Sky-level strength, not Arthur himself. Therefore, Arthur's selection came as a surprise to most people.

However, this decision was made by a Legendary Expert. Although no one had expected it, once the result was out, everyone could only accept it.

Arthur's maternal grandfather, Duke Gryphon's Family, was initially a bit confused and angry about not being chosen.

But then they thought, it wasn't the rival Bilan Family that was chosen, but the Mad Lion Family, with whom they had kinship.

Duke Gryphon and the others then accepted this outcome.

"Congratulations!"

Then they offered their blessings to Arthur!

At the same time, Arthur's Family also congratulated him.

Even the lively little Doria's eyes sparkled with admiration as she said:

"Brother Arthur, you're amazing! You'll be King now, just as powerful as my mother!"

Others, seeing that the Legends were still above, dared not move freely to offer congratulations.

But seeing that the Legends above did not stop Arthur's Family from congratulating him, they also stepped forward to offer their felicitations.

An ordinary Legend would indeed not give Arthur this Face, waiting beside him and wasting time.

However, Elwin and Melita and others were summoned by Arthur, so they naturally wouldn't stop him during such a glorious moment.

After a good few minutes, when about half the people had greeted him.

Elwin suddenly noticed Arthur slightly frowning, realizing he didn't like the scene, and quickly raised his hand:

"Alright, everyone, the congratulations can wait.

King Arthur, please step forward, I have something else to announce!"

Although it was only a few minutes, a Legend's time was not to be easily wasted. Some smart people had already noticed Elwin's unexpected regard for Arthur.

Meanwhile, since the matter was originally arranged by Arthur.

Elwin did not bother to ask Arthur if he was willing to accept the position, but directly gestured for him to step forward.

Hearing this, Arthur unhurriedly walked onto the high platform where Elwin and the other two stood.

To avoid revealing their relationship, Arthur first placed his left hand on his lower back and his right hand on his chest, then bowed, performing a noble's etiquette!

"Greetings to The Three Legends, and thank you for your trust in me.

From now on, I will surely make the kingdom more prosperous, living up to your trust today!"

Actually, kneeling on one knee at this moment would have been enough to show respect to a Legend.

But the three were summoned by Arthur, and they dared not accept Arthur's kneeling salute, so he could only make do with a bow!

Elwin and the other two dared not be presumptuous in response to Arthur's greeting, and smiles appeared on their Faces.

Elwin, who was at the very front, even directly helped Arthur up with his hand.

He laughed:

"Since we have chosen you, we believe you have the ability.

Furthermore, since you have become King, we are now a community of shared interests, so there's no need to be so polite.

If there are troubles you cannot solve, you can also ask us to intervene."

The Legendary Experts being so amiable left the people below somewhat bewildered.

Some even grew jealous of Arthur because of this, knowing that they had previously thought Arthur was just a Puppet emperor.
