Valverno drew out the Crystal Sword and lifted it sky-high, showing it glow brightly like yellow sun.
Then after two seconds, Flavius, the three kneeling clan leaders, and all the humans, including the three White Knights, and the creatures standing from afar sprung to their feet and shouted endlessly: “The Demigod of the Moral Real! The Demigod of the Moral Real! The Demigod of the Moral Real!”
Within seconds, all the humans and the creatures shouted “The Demigod of the Moral Real,” and this show declaring Valverno was ruler of both Shimabellia and Isla Maeli. There was no doubt for a second the humans and the creatures were proclaiming Valverno their ruler and the ruler of Shimabellia and Isla Maeli.
Valverno looked proudly as he saw everyone calling him their new ruler. He saw Teutates with a mad face, but Valverno ignored him. He lowered his sword and breathed softly, knowing everyone was shouting at him. He will be standing on top of Teutates and the future seemed to shine brighter as these few leaders were calling Valverno their ruler.
In the corner where Marina stood, Valverno saw her smiling small, but not a big-happy smile as loving him as the new ruler, but somewhat a concern smile of Valverno’s new position.
Given this opportunity, there was still the matter of the capital city, where Princess Stephanie still lived. If a certain amount of time King Uragiru left and hasn’t returned, the city would assume the king has died and the throne will go to the princess.
Valverno didn’t want the princess taking the throne. Therefore, he had an idea of how to deal with the princess and makes sure she doesn’t become the queen.
THE HYBRID ASCENDS
“Another two weeks had passed and there wasn’t any sign of King Uragiru, which meant it has been a month since the king went to war with this hybrid and I still remain here,” said Princess Stephanie.
In the capital city, it has been a month since King Uragiru went to war against Geraldus, and he hasn’t returned since then. There had been no word and no message from the king during the time he was away. This meant he had died in the attack, and the throne was open for the next ruler to inherit it.
Princess Stephanie had heard the king’s voice through a glowing orb she was adopted into the family and really was never his daughter. She saw the wretched form Vaeludar had taken: a villain with long red hair with dark purple, red, black colors on the dragon wings, legs, and tail. She heard everything they had talked about and the false alliance her father with the Shadow King Lusìvar.
The princess thought these only to be lies of trying to get Vaeludar into saying what his true loyalties had laid. But she didn’t care. She received no word or message from her father of indicating if he had won or the enemy has. So she was moving ahead and going to take over the throne and the kingdom of Shimabellia.
In the throne room, the princess was dressed in a yellow and red dress made of fine silk. She wore emerald earrings on her ears. A neckless with large and small silver diamonds hung on her neck. Her hair was three rows of her hair were braided thinly and pulled back.
She, along with an escort of bodyguards, walked close enough in front of the throne. She walked on a red carpet trailing through a large crowd of people of the nobility class. Hundreds of nobility, all dressed in the greatest of fashion that made them very rich in wealth, had been gathered to witness the crowning of a new ruler of Shimabellia: the Queen of Shimabellia.
The princess was happy to see her father not seating on the throne. Every time she would walk in the throne room, she would be seeing her father sitting upon the seat doing his royal duties as King of Shimabellia.
For nineteen years, she walked in and out of the throne room seeing her father smiling at her and seeing him sit on the throne.
Now it was her turn to inherit the throne. Now, with the king gone, she can finally become she always wanted to be; the next ruler of Shimabellia. Of the years she lived her life, she can now sit upon the throne and call herself the new ruler and Queen of Shimabellia.
As she walked closer to the throne, she stopped and turn back to look at her subjects. Apparently these people in the throne room were loyal to their king. And, due to his long disappearance, they were placing their loyalty in their soon-to-be queen.
“My father once said to me ‘when there is a sunset there is a sunrise the next.’ The sun had set on my father Uragiru, and the sun now rises on my terms. Since no one has heard from the king for a month, it meant he has died trying to kill the traitorous hybrid or he died in succeeding in his war against the hybrid that tried to kill him. Whatever happened to him will remain unclear. He sat upon the throne for long enough. It is now my time to inherit what rightfully belongs to me. And do make sure I am clear on this, I’m going to—”
Then there were loud fanfares blowing in the throne room. Those fanfares blew loud during the speech of the princess, and she was so annoyed to hear those going on while she was talking to the crowd.
“Presenting the return of His Highness,” said a soldier. The soldier was turning his head as he saw a shadowy figure coming from the left side door close to the throne room, and the door was a secret entrance for the current ruler. When he saw it, he gave a signal to other guards to sound the blows of the fanfares. “The King has returned!”
The princess nearly
