Chapter: 399
“?!”
As the Lord said that, everyone became confused. Four elders from four clans became concerned and turned to the Lord.
“I will now appoint my 7th son, Chun Yeowun, who have received three approvals from three elders and shown his worth, as the heir to the throne.”
“!!!”
Their concern was not misguided. The Lord was trying to declare Chun Yeowun as the heir. It was the moment that four clans wished never to happen.
“Is there any objection?”
“...”
There was no way for anyone to object in such a situation. Those who oppose, and those who sided with Yeowun both looked tense as they looked up to the Lord. Chun Yujong then shouted.
“From this time forward, Prince Chun Yeowun are now the Heir of our Great Demonic Cult!”
And with that, every clan leader from Chun Yeowun’s forces got up with reddened face and shouted with rejoice. It was the first Heir to the throne in 500 years who were not from six clans.
“Glory to the Demonic Cult!!!”
“Whoaaaaaa!!”
It was only time they were allowed to cheer and shout. Those from the four clans grimaced and looked down with a heavy look. The first war that started revolving around the Heir, was finished. It was Chun Yeowun’s victory.
‘Mother...!’
Chun Yeowun clenched on his fist and enjoyed the moment. He then thought of his mother, Lady Hwa. She were worried about Chun Yeowun even in her dying breath. But now Yeowun was the Heir of the Great Demonic Cult’s throne.
‘Next is you all.’
He had defeated Wise and Poison clan. There were now Sword, Blade, Loyal and Lust clan remaining. There were a lot of clans that sided with them still, with one big obstacle overcome, Yeowun was now at equals against them.
The appointment of the Heir was followed by the coronation ceremony in front of every cultist at the courtyard front of the Lord’s palace. But with more serious problems at hand, Chun Yeowun’s ceremonial was postponed to later dates. And while empty spots were filled, Yeowun was told to also become the Elder. Unlike the Heir, being an elder allowed Yeowun to enter the Elder’s Meeting where all important works were being taken care of, so it was actually a good thing. Four elders from four clans objected as they wanted to stop this from happening, but the Lord pushed it through. They then moved onto the next issue, but Yeowun wasn’t allowed to participate from then on.
“Crown Prince, you must go look after your wound.”
People saw Yeowun being struck on by Mu Jinwon’s force qi, so the Lord told him to go down to the medical room. His bloody clothes looked like he had taken a serious wound.
[My prince, it should be better for you to look after your wound. We will tell you what had been talked about here later.]
Other elders sent telepathic messages to Yeowun, offering him to look after the wound.
‘Hmph. I guess I have no choice then.’
His wounds were healed a long time ago by Nano, but he couldn’t reveal this so he decided to exit from the Great Hall.
“Thank you Lord, for your mercy.”
Yeowun then got out of the building and walked out of the Lord’s palace. There was a medical room that the Demon Doctor Baek Jongwu stayed at within the palace, but Yeowun didn’t have any wound on him so he didn’t need to visit medical room. Yeowun then got out and went to the restaurant where his members were waiting. Everyone was surprised to see Yeowun get out early when they expected him to come out much later as it was a Great Hall meeting. Then they saw Yeowun in blood and got more shocked.
“B-blood!? Prince! Are you okay?”
“M-master! What happened?!”
Chun Yeowun told them he will tell them once they get to the Ghost Illusion clan’s mansion. And when they returned, Yeowun was going to tell them what had happened at the Great Hall, but something else happened. It was something that Yeowun had been waiting.
“Prince Chun! Guard Jang woke up!”
