After the coronation, Tarion, Ender and Kingsley met with each other and met in the Throne Room hallway, where Kingsley and Ender walked through prior to the coronation. The massive audience that was gathered in the throne room began to move through two gates that was in the room, which led to the exit of the palace.

"Congratulations on your promotion, my lord. And Lord Tarion, you were astounding in there." Kingsley rejoiced, clapping at the same time.

Now that Ender was now the well and true Lord of the Enderverse, it now made sense that Kingsley and the other staff members would start addressing him as "their Lord."

"Thank you, Kingsley. You know, I've never felt so excited in a long while. It was truly quite an experience." Ender replied as he smiled.

He was right. Ender had never felt this exhilarating in a long time. Anyone would be excited if they were promoted to a position of leading a civilization. To Ender, the Lord of the Enderverse was a position he was looking forward to ever since his father had told him he would officially become the next Lord soon.

"Now, just because you've gotten a cool-looking cape and everyone calls you their Lord doesn't mean you should let the power go to your head, Ender. You still have a lot more things to go through as a Lord." Tarion interjected.

It was true. Being someone who would lead their civilization into a better future would still have a lot of positive and negative events to go through. It's almost as if a huge weight had been placed on the person's shoulders after being promoted to an Enderverse Lord.

"I know that, Tarion. As I said during the coronation, I'm fully prepared to acknowledge and see what future lies before me as an Enderverse Lord." Ender responded, with his earlier smile turning into a serious expression.

"And I'm very glad you do."

Once again, Tarion and Ender smiled at each other. This was another one of their "father and son" moments, and as Kingsley watched, he eventually smiled too.

"May I add that seeing Lord Ender become the next Enderverse Lord was extremely emotional?" Kingsley rejoiced yet again. "It was a beautiful sight, as you delivered that speech as you put on the cape."

Watching Ender during the coronation was a sight to see, and it was a truly beautiful sight to Kingsley as he watched the coronation proceed from the sidelines.

"Of course you would be happy, Kingsley. You've been the personal servant of Ender since he was born, and you both are good friends, as well. It's natural for a friend to be happy for another friend." Tarion spoke as he lightly slapped Kingsley on the back.

Ever since Ender was born into this world, Kingsley was appointed as the personal servant and caretaker to take care of him. All the years leading up to this moment has exponentially grown their bond and friendship together.

"Thank you, Lord Tari-"

Suddenly, Ender interjected while Kingsley was thanking Tarion, stopping him mid-sentence.

"Well, actually Kingsley, I should be the one to thank you."

"What? Surely there's no such reason to thank yo-"

Once again, Ender cut off Kingsley in the middle of his sentence.

"Don't be so dumb, Kingsley."

"W-what?" Kingsley panicked, taking a small step backwards.

"I should be thanking you, because you've taken care of me ever since I was a kid. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be here right now. So, I'll take this chance to thank you deeply for all these years."
