Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel - Chapter 472

Chapter 472: A Lethal Dose
Chiron stepped up the flight of stairs all the way to King Richard who was waiting for him at the end of it.

By the sides of king Richard were a few family faces. By the king’s right was the chief Shaman. And then they was Chief ban on his other side, and then the other chiefs and even a few generals and commanders of the kingdom. They were all dressed lavishly.

Even the chief Shaman had a smile on her face, which in truth was very creepy to Chiron.

But he had to continue moving forward. Chiron also noticed that in this gathering, his uncle, Victor was missing.

Chiron reached in front of the King. He looked at the man in the face, and he smirked, while the others except chiron’s servants all bowed towards the king.

There were many nobles that noticed this, and some of them began to whisper, but it did not matter to Chiron. He did not bow before, and he was definitely not going to do it now that there were penalties for it.

King Richard noticed this and immediately grabbed Chiron by the neck under his armpit, making it seem as if he had done so just before chiron was to bow, all in other to save face.

“By the blessings of the Bear mother. Look at you boy. You have grown so fast that you are almost my height!” King Richard chuckled.

Chiron raised his head to him. The only thing he could thing about was how very smart this king was. Obviously, it came with his political position.

Still holding Chiron close to his chest, he turned around to the people in the room. “My Grandson, Chiron Chivalry, has shown incredible talent and capabilities…” His voice was loud as he addressed everyone in the room. “While we enjoyed the peace that our forefathers bought for us, the Chanland kingdom raised their arms against our people, they slaughtered and they killed. However, My Grandson with an army less than a thousand took it upon himself to take revenge for the people of this kingdom, and delivered unto us the head of King Ash!”

Many within the crowd of nobles nodded. After all, they all remembered when this incident had happened only a few months ago.

“But that was not all. He could tell that the kingdom was in dire straits and in need of our captured peace, and he took down the Highlanders, after which he went for the Beast kingdom that dared to breach our walls in other to take my Granddaughter.” His voice suddenly went low. “It is indeed a shame that she did not live to see this moment,” he sighed loudly. It was obvious that King Richard was holding himself back from shedding tears. After all Nora was a splitting image of her mother, his daughter.

“…Nevertheless, he took revenge on her behalf, destroying their senate and sending that country back to the wild like they truly belong.”

The crowd laughed at this.

“For these reasons and many more, it is without a doubt that my grandson has proven himself to be a man of incredible capabilities. I am sure that you all can tell that the future of our Kingdom will not only be bright, but there is even the possibility of expanding our borders and taking up more land.”

The nobles heard this and many of them nodded. After all, If the country took up more land, it meant more resources for them.

“It therefore gives me great pleasure to announce that Chiron Chilvary, Son of my daughter Nora, and heir to the throne, shall be dawned on this day, Crowned Prince and heir to the throne.”

Immediately, the crowd erupted into an applause as a servant stepped forward with a pillow carrying a crown smaller but much similar to king Richard’s crown.

And then he took it and placed it on Chiron’s head. At the same time, he removed a ring from his finger, and as he took Chiron’s hand to place the ring, he came close to his ear. “Your enemies are even worse than mine. It is not much, but it will protect you.”

<Host as acquired Shield Ring. Capable of Negating three strikes of any physical attack at will of Host.>

Chiron nodded at him. This particular one, he did not mind having.

King Richard turned to all, “It is a great day to rejoice. Let there be drinks, and food. And please someone give the Crown prince’s men some women for the night.”

The crowd cheered and there was loud laughter as the musicians played their instruments.

This time around, Chiron could not dodge the nobles as he so pleased. They flocked around him, many of them, obviously trying to curry Favor with the crowned prince.

Although Chiron gave a slight smile at them, he was actually very pissed at this. ‘That old man!’ he thought to himself, cursing at his grandfather.

Some very brazen nobles like Chief Ban who was Captain Timi and Commander Hardstone’s father. Immediately walked up to him and embraced him. Even though chiron was now the crowned prince, he did not care, as he roughed Chiron’s hair.

he really had no bearing and respect as a man of the state.

However, along the line, as conversations were happening, Some one passed chiron a glass of wine.

The moment Chiron held it, he scanned it with the fate change system.

<Alert: Wine contains substance of the Thunder lice plant>

‘Oh! so its poisoned!’ Chiron thought to himself.

‘Can the system detoxify it?’ Chiron asked.

<Affirmative: But host will need 1000 fate points>

‘Hmmm! that high!? They must really want me dead if they are putting such a letal dose in my drink.’

Chiron having studying regularly on plants coupled with his initial knowledge of this world was familiar with this poison.

Elder baldie had told him that they desired to kill him, but he had not said that it was going to be a very brazen act like this. Done in broad daylight, right after the announcement of his Crowning…
