Royal Palace, Capital of Zamara, Duchy Royal Capital, Zamara Kingdom.
Morning time.
Everyone was busy preparing for the meeting. The downstream maids prepared the room and the food. And the nobles gathered together with their respective groups to get news of what had really happened.
The Duke of Canaria's notice made the King announce an impromptu meeting. His troops are ready to deploy at any time. Waiting for orders from him.
“Your Majesty, Beastman Emperor Leo has been defeated by the rebel forces,” said the Duke of Canaria inside the royal meeting hall. “This is a good time for us to invade them,”. However, he covered up an important fact that could change everything's decision. Therefore, he covered it up.
While the King was discussing the matter to all his ministers, and the nobles were talking to each other on this topic, a Knight walked over in a hurry. In his hand was a scroll.
“Excuse me. Your Majesty!”
A King's Counsel took the scroll. Then he opened it. Make sure there is nothing dangerous, which can threaten the safety of the king, there. After that, he gave it to the King.
The king read the letter. Instantly, he was surprised. His eyes sharpened and then glared.
“This is from Demon King Lucifer. He threatened to wage war,” he explained.
The brief explanation from him left the Nobles in shock. They had not expected to get something like this so soon.
‘Aren't we just at war with them?’ it is the thoughts and questions of everyone. Their eyes and facial expressions showed this.
Initially they would invade the Beastman Empire of Marhamzan which was in a vulnerable condition after the emperor's succession through a path of rebellion. However, a threatening letter made everything change completely. Make them abandon their intentions.
“Ah, no. He just changed his nickname. Now he is the Demon Emperor Lucifer,” the King's err.
“Haha! What difference does it make if he changes the name of the King to Maharaja? It's just a nickname. Let's show him our true strength so he doesn't have a big mouth!” duke of Canaria.
However, not all nobles agreed with him. What he says looks like the opposite.
‘He said so. Though, the last time we faced each other, he looked scared and reluctant to send soldiers. He definitely has a plan behind this all,’ thought the Duke of Zerestia.
“What's up? You are silent and afraid of the Demon King who only inhabits a forest, even though you have fortresses?” The Duke of Canaria stared one by one the nobles in the palace hall.
The nobles whispered. Although they only knew some of the Demon King's powers, even mostly based on the stories of those who had faced him, they still knew how dangerous the creature was. However, the words of the Duke of Canaria slightly disturbed their sense of superiority.
“We will submit,” revealed the King. “There is no point in fighting with them.”
The royal hall instantly became silent and silent, for a moment then became rowdy again.
“Your Highness, how can you say such a thing?”
“Your Highness, what do you really think?”
“Your Majesty, what do you mean to say that?”
“Your Highness, ..”
Various questions were raised by the nobles and the King's Advisors. They instantly went mad after the King said he would release this kingdom and give it to the cruel Demon King.
The king raised his hand before the unrest got out of hand. Although with great difficulty, eventually the nobles were able to calm themselves down.
“Dad, what do you mean? Are you sure?” asked the Prince who was standing from the chair beside the King.
As the sole successor, he was required to follow the various political activities of the kingdom and be prepared in earnest. One of them is by following court hearings and meetings of this kind.
“Yes, my son,” replied the King. “Didn't you all have seen the impact of the war in the Redwood Forest? We had the worst crisis in the history of the kingdom, other than the eruption of the 3rd Volcano of Land, and the traders fled our kingdom due to that crisis, and it only further exacerbated this crisis.
“If we come into contact with him again, we must give in. Or there will be no good in fighting it. You all know that.
“Write the letter. Write us down .. urgh!”
The king stopped talking after he felt a cold metal piercing through his stomach. As soon as he looked down, he saw the Prince thrusting his sword through the shirt. He saw his blood splattered red, but did not feel any pain.
“Your Majesty!”
Some conscious Advisers panicked and began to approach the King.
“DIAMM!!! STOP THERE!” Prince shouts.
“My son, what are you doing?” asked the King in a voice that began to weaken and a clouded look.
However, the Prince did not intend to answer the question. Until he finally breathed his last breath. And that body without life fell slowly. Touching the cold palace floor.
What he saw last time was the Duke of Canaria putting on a sly happy smile.
‘Sister-in-law ...’
The prince turned around after pulling his sword from the corpse of the King. Staring intently at the Advisors and nobles in the royal meeting room.
He then shouted, “Are you guys going to listen to this old bangka corpse talk? Are you going to hand over this kingdom to the accursed creature?”
“No!” answer all the nobles simultaneously.
Everyone has the same thoughts. It is better to fight noblely and die in battle than to be directly submissive and toyed with.
“This loser has no right to lead you,” continued the Prince while staring at the corpse of his father. “Kita ... will protect our homeland with our own hands!”
“UWOOH!!”
The nobles exclaimed in spirit with a short speech from the Prince.
“From now on, I am the King" said Zed von Zamara III.
...*****...
PLAQUE!!!
A loud slap landed on his smooth cheek.
“What are you doing?!” ask her mother hysterically. “Then once again, what do you think you've done, huh?!”
The queen immediately entered the meeting room upon hearing the news of her husband's murder by her son.
“Then let me ask mom one question only. Is Mother also intending to hand over this kingdom to the Demon King?” ask King.
“But, no need to kill him, ‘kan?” The queen began to cry. He was unable to stand on his own feet at this moment.
Before falling, someone grabbed him from behind.
“Impard brother. But, Brother is sure that you can find someone better than him,” said the Duke of Canaria, the older brother of the King's former husband and mother, and uncle of the present King.
She's still crying. Even more powerful. She knew that her husband's health had deteriorated after their defeat in the Redwood Forest. However, she did not expect that her husband would say such a foolish thing.
He also felt useless. If she had carried out her duties as a wife and listened to her husband's complaints, her husband would not have had to be killed by his biological children.
Whatever it is, he's not turning back time.
On the other side of the room, Princess Ayashe von Zamara looked at everything with a flat expression. He seemed to be upset about something.
“Young Miss, she has come,” said one of her servants.
