Chapter 06

A day of mourning has been announced to all the people of the Chu kingdom. Thunder struck and the clouds rolled then the tears of the sky slowly began to fall as the wise King was buried.

Many people attended the funeral, because basically King Chu Yuan never behaved arrogantly or arrogantly even though he was a king and he often helped people who were in trouble. But the fact was that he was so sick, he had to return to the ground first.

inside the kingdom, in the assembly hall.

"Advisor! We must immediately appoint a king!" Said one of the Ministers who was there.

"Isn't there still Queen Bai An, why have to appoint a king? And who will be chosen? Prince Yuan is still a child!" said the royal advisor without raising his voice.

"A woman cannot be relied on too much in a leadership position, how about temporarily taking the position of king by General Chu Lei? And when Prince Chu Yuan is seventeen years old, then the position of King will be handed over to him! What do you think?" Gao Jian asked. He was the warlord of the Chu kingdom. But his voice had been bought by General Chu Lei.

General Chu Lei just sat quietly and smiled because he had planned this carefully. With a little expense, he was the winner.

"That's fine. But with written conditions that, if the Little Prince is enough to be King, then General Chu Lei must give up the Throne!" The advisor put forward his conditions. Actually, he didn't really like General Chu Lei. Did he know what his character was like? Especially his attitude that often hit people without knowing where he was wrong. What?

"I agree"

"We agree"

"Yes, us too"

One by one, they immediately agreed to the conditions.

"In one week we will announce the appointment of the new King, I will prepare the written letter and disband now." Said the royal advisor. He stood up and left the meeting hall. in his heart said, 'Why is everyone supporting Chu Lei to ascend the throne? Don't they know Chu Lei's arrogant nature and attitude?

...

"Is this a sign of a new era coming?" Someone expressed his heart after seeing the sky mourning with fierce flashes.

However, no one answered his question. Because he was alone there. Then he returned to his rickety hut which was in a valley surrounded by waterfalls hanging down. With the knowledge of lightening his body which was quite tall, he jumped over several trees until he reached the bottom of the valley and then came to his adopted grandson who was still on a swing.

"Long Chu, I don't know who your family is. but from the necklace you wear, you are clearly born from a noble family. Maybe something had to make your parents leave you in that niche! Even though you were just born. Grandma will keep this necklace until you grow up, hopefully with this necklace you will find your family later!" She said then grabbed the necklace and put it away.

Then he went behind the hut and cut down a perfectly ripe banana tree. then take one comb and remove the skin.

The grandmother immediately smashed the banana with the palm of her hand, then she approached the swing again and picked up little Long Chu, who had been awake. But don't cry.

"Eat, my dear grandson!" said Grandma Zhou after she chewed the banana for a while and then put it into Little Long Chu's mouth.

The days changed, and every day Grandma Zhou fed Long Chu with bananas and drank him with warm water. There is no breast milk to complement its growth. but it didn't reduce the weight. In fact, now after almost a week, little Long Chu is getting healthier and gaining weight...

The day of the Appointment of a new King has arrived. Many people witnessed it. However, some of these people did not agree with the appointment. Because they could judge for themselves how Chu Lei had behaved before.

However, none of them dared to speak their hearts out. If there is, it will probably die.

A middle-aged man was seen climbing onto the stage with the podium. wearing long white clothes and saying loudly to silence everyone's whispers "Please pay attention for a moment! Today is the day when the new King will ascend the throne. But what I must emphasize! This new king will lead the kingdom until Prince Chu Yang, the son of King Chu Yuan, is seventeen years old and the throne will be given to him." After a moment of silence he continued again, "Let's move on to the next process." He said then stepped down from the podium.

The process of installing the crown went on normally, no one made a sound and only kept it hidden in their hearts. Who knows how long the hidden voice of the people will last.

Chu Lei immediately stood up, he immediately said, "O my people! Be loyal to me. So, I will bring peace to you!" He said loudly.

Some people immediately screamed.

"Long live the king Chu Lei!"

"Long live King Chu Lei!"

"Long live the Kingdom of Chu!"

Others remained silent and left the wide yard. They know it's just a false promise to make people happy. Even though the people are not asking for promises, but for proof.

After everyone had dispersed and the ministers and royal advisors had gone home, he walked towards Queen Bai An's residence.

.......

In her residence, Queen Bai An was very happy with Chu Lei's appointment as King, she danced with joy like a princess who had gotten her wish.

"Hail the King!" Said the guard assigned to guard the Queen's residence.

"Open the door! I will meet Queen Bai An" he ordered with an unsmiling face.

He entered after the door opened and walked straight towards the room occupied by Bai An.

"Darling!" He called Queen Bai An who was still enjoying her dancing. Immediately he followed the dance performed by Bai An by hugging him from behind and rubbing his rifle against Bai An's buttocks.

"Emmm, we still can't do it, darling. Unless darling wants the smell of blood from when I gave birth." he said then turned away.

"There's still another hole!" Chu Lei joked. Of course he didn't want to do that, because the view would definitely be unpleasant because something was still not clean.

They just kissed for a while and were affectionate with each other. Usually they do this by stealing time. but now, that is no longer necessary.

"What if people are suspicious about our closeness darling?" Bai An asked, lying half her body on Chu Lei's chest.

"You don't need to think about other people, if there's anything wrong with them I'll finish them off." he said casually. "If one is lost, there is still another replacement, so don't worry. The kingdom will still grow. I will expand the territory by destroying the vast forests in the southern region, then build my own empire and control several kings who will follow me in the future. I already have this one kingdom, plus the Bai kingdom and your mother's side kingdom, surely they will support it, right? "If I become Emperor, I will overthrow the Qing Clan's dominating power," he said with ambition.

"You are so obsessed with becoming Emperor, I will support you. However, you have to remember one thing dear! Don't forget that I always love you..."
