A moment later, an enormous Flying Ship ascended through the clouds.
The very air trembled as the vessel came to hover above the ruined Imperial Palace, blotting out the light of the sun.
Bai Zihan didn't wait for a coronation or anything like that—he simply declared that Princess Sun Yaoqing would become the Empress.
As for whether she could continue to be one, well, that was in her hands.
His word should serve as a good deterrent to many, but there would obviously be others who would see this as an opportunity.
After all, he had clearly shown that he didn't care much about who ruled the Falling Star Empire—nor was he interested in their empire at all.
So, it wouldn't be strange if someone tried to seize the throne after he left.
Still, Princess or rather, Empress Sun Yaoqing seemed capable enough; she might be able to stabilize the position that was suddenly given to her.
Perhaps the Falling Star Empire would undergo a drastic change in the coming days.
