What chaos could possibly occur in the Throne Room, you might ask?
Well, obviously…
"How can you allow a daughter of a whore to become the crown princess, Majesty?"
"This is utterly forbidden in the royal family. Not to mention she isn't even a book tamer yet. Even if she becomes the crown princess, do you have any idea how bad it will be for our image as the royal family…"
"Keep quiet." The King raised his hand and tightened his fist. A grimoire with a blinding golden light flew in front of him, and a shockwave spread from it.
Instantly, everyone in the hall was compelled to shut up, the shockwave sweeping through the room. Only a few managed to defend themselves by disrupting the wave.
All eyes turned to the King, horror etched on their faces.
This trick was nothing new, but those affected were at least High-level Book Masters, people who should have been able to react. The fact that they couldn't even raise a defense only highlighted the King's overwhelming strength.
