Heroic Death System [BL]

Arc 1: I Only Need 72 Hours To Fall In Love With You (VII)

Shang Ke leaned against his pillow, staring at the holographic screen before him. The founding of the state ceremony was being broadcast.

There was a vast, lively crowd bustling in the plaza. Ravel sat in a shuttle car that was slowly traveling on the planned route. Guards in a naval escort formation flanked him on both sides. They fired into the sky, which burst into colorful flowers in an unprecedentedly majestic scene.

Shang Ke felt that, if a man were to be as accomplished as Ravel, then his life was truly worth living. As the King of a new empire, with the masses below him, he was truly number one in the world.

"Sire Ravel, no, he should be called 'His Majesty' now. His Majesty is really too cool!" The big sister nurse praised him with stars in her eyes.

Shang Ke nodded his head to express his agreement. He reluctantly admitted that Ravel looked two-thirds cool.

Ravel ascended onto the tall platform and started to give his speech. His appearance was grave, and his eyes firm. The strictness of a soldier and the elegance of a noble mixed and gave him a unique charm, causing reverence to be born in people's hearts.

When he loudly declared the termination of Cruise's regime and establishment of the new empire, everyone started to cheer. They cried, laughed, and hugged each other, feeling all sorts of complicated emotions.

Shang Ke wasn't someone of this world, so he hadn't experienced Cruise's regime of darkness and brutality. However, after seeing their sincerely happy expressions, he also felt rather moved.

In fact, being treated like a hero felt pretty good. Although he could only be regarded as a "false" hero, he truly did suffer though torture. So, for better or worse, even though he didn't contribute anything, he had still worked hard. Shang Ke felt as though he could also "rejoice and celebrate with everyone" for a bit.

At this moment, Ravel suddenly raised his head with a burning gaze. It seemed as though he could see through the screen to somewhere.

"Ah!" The big sister nurse let out a low scream, and was especially moved as she said to him, "Young Master Cage, His Majesty must be looking at you!"

Can you not joke around? He was obviously using a conquering-the-world gaze.

When the big sister nurse saw that he didn't react, she suddenly grew nervous and walked to his side, carefully inspecting the instrument's data and asking, "Young Master Cage, how do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Shang Ke confusedly looked at her, not understanding why she was so nervous. Wasn't he just fine? If he had a problem, then he would have long since "beautified". (The magical Perfect Expression Pack, will let you become more and more beautiful~~)

When the nurse realized that nothing was wrong, she released the breath she was holding and told him, "His Majesty specifically reminded me to always be mindful of your condition. He was worried that something unexpected would happen while you were watching the ceremony."

Exactly what unexpected thing could happen? Was Ravel afraid that he would die from being overly excited? Don't worry, he still had another three days to live.

The ceremony lasted three hours. Even after Ravel left, the crowd in the plaza did not scatter.

Shang Ke was just about to change channels when he got a phone call from Ravel. Looking at the time, that guy should be quite busy at this time, and yet he still didn't forget to call him. He was really a considerate friend.

"Did you watch the ceremony?" Ravel asked.

Shang Ke nodded.

"Are you happy?"
