Denis brought the King's body to the royal hall. There, the nobles had already gathered with sad expressions. They knew about the King's death because the great general of the kingdom told them. Except for the Court faction, the elders were not there. Because the General didn't like them and they were also busy hiding to clean up their involvement with Duke Court.
While the Queen still sobbed while hugging her husband's body. He did not expect that the King would die. He's not ready at all. As he looked at the King's stiff and lifeless body, he became hysterical instantly. He hated the murderer and his heart was filled with vengeance. The queen headed straight for the dungeon, as she wanted to kill Diana with her hands.
But Denis and the bodyguards stopped him. Although the Queen rebelled and shouted "I'll kill her!"
Denis and the others keep the Queen.
Then the Queen's cry broke out, "I really didn't expect that that demonic woman would cause my life to go awry" the Queen recalled the moment when she was still good friends with Diana. Although Diana was a dark witch, the Queen did not hate her. But that resentment came when she found out Diana killed the King for wanting to escape from prison. "She made my brother and my nephew's lives suffer" he whined. "He killed my husband"
"He will be executed in the morning. He will be punished according to the procedure" Denis said. Although her tone was flat, she was still polite to her mother.
The queen still did not accept it. He continues to rebel. Until Denis knocked him unconscious and told the maid to bring the Queen back to the room.
After that Denis looked at everyone in the hall and said "The King's funeral will be carried out tomorrow, after the execution process is carried out" he said wisely.
Reflexes, he was sitting on the throne seat because he needed to lead the meeting. And no one protested.
"Your Majesty, the King's position has been vacant. We can't allow this. The enemy kingdom will use this opportunity to attack us because they know that the internal conflict of our kingdom is already very fatal" the Royal advisor expressed his opinion.
"I agree with Your Majesty. We can't leave the King's seat empty because it will disturb the stability of the kingdom" the general said.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of everything" Denis said calmly. "We need to fix this problem first. Then I'll look at your reports to clear up other common problems."
They smiled and nodded obediently "Good Your Majesty"
"And we must choose a companion who can help His Majesty as well. At this young age is the right age for the future King and the future Queen to learn" Marquis Zent added with a sumringah smile.
The atmosphere became frozen for a moment. Everyone knows that Denis' fiancee is the Princess Marquis, who will be the future Queen of this land. But because of this case, it's impossible. They have not thought about the other candidates for the queen.
Denis stared intently at the Marquis, making the atmosphere even more tense. But the Marquis still smiled innocently.
"I'm not thinking about it right now" Denis replied coldly.
"But Your Majesty, the process of learning...."
"Marquist!" Denis raised his voice.
Marquis Zent instantly shut his mouth. "Pardon the presumption of His Majesty's servant" he said with a sour feeling.
"And also the detailed news of the King's death should not be disseminated" Denis said as he looked around the room.
But the Marquis suddenly raised his hand and said nervously "But I've already spread it..."
Veins of annoyance appeared on Denis's forehead.
Marquis Zent had indeed spread the news that the dark wizard of the royal prisoner had already killed the King. So everyone was surprised. Some residents cried, because they were very loyal and thought that King Well was a good King. Some were worried about their fate in the future. They were afraid to think of another kingdom invading their home because of this.
While the Court faction had mixed feelings. They were panicked and happy at the same time. They were happy that the old king had died. But they panicked because Denis ascended the throne. They were afraid that Denis would get rid of them. But even so they won't let it. This was their ancestral treasure and land. They're not leaving. And actually their family is the real royal family. If the family with the Well clan does not invade them and occupy the throne.
