Chapter 565 A New Beginning.
Chapter 565 A New Beginning.
"Why are we here?"
"I do not know."
"Look, even all the Dukes seem confused…"
"Duke Vestalis seems to know something."
"Of course he would know something, he is the Queen's Grandfather."
"I don't see Duke Fulvanius here."
"Mhm, I have been wondering the same for a while now, let alone him, I don't see anyone related to the Fulvanius Family."
"Are they against Queen Evane?"
"Does that even matter now? She has already been crowned as the new Ruler. I don't think Duke Fulvanius is dumb enough to against the ruling authority."
"Wait, now that I think about it, where is King Ricardus?
Shouldn't he have first abdicated his Throne before giving it to Queen Evane?"
"Actually I haven't heard anything from King Ricardus for a while now."
"Well, it is not like he is much active."
"But still, shouldn't he be present in his daughter's coronation?"
The nobles continued to discuss among themselves, they had many doubts in their mind, but the question was why they were taken to the Royal Stage.
The Royal Stage is a building used for big events, a tournament among the top cultivators of the world that was held every once in a while was a good example of such an event.
Did Queen Evane prepare something for them?
They all wondered in their heads.
They tried to glance at the stage to guess what was going to happen, however, other than a peculiar dome made from some Black Purple material, they couldn't see anything.
"Silence."
Suddenly, a voice echoed throughout the Royal Stage.
All the nobles turned silent.
*Step*
A man walked into the stage and bowed. He was carrying an axe in his hand and looked quite muscular.
"I am sure you all are wondering why you have been brought here when you were celebrating the coronation of Queen Evane.
Today, is the day that will be written down in the history of our Great Kingdom, it is the day that marks the start of Queen Evane's era. It is the day that marks the start of all the changes that our Kingdom would go through and develop to unimaginable heights.
This will also be the day after which the rotten elements of our Kingdom will start to live in fear.
This is the day, which will mark the new beginning."
As these words ended,
The Purple Black Dome that was created started disappearing and,
"!!!"
People present here all widened their eyes in shock as they saw what was inside the Dome.
King Ricardus, the man who held the greatest power in the Kingdom, the man who was capable of making or destroying anyone, currently had his head forced inside a guillotine.
"T-That's…"
"K-King Ricardus…"
The nobles couldn't believe their eyes.
Astaria completely ignored their reaction and continued,
"Ricardus Skyfall, the previous King of the Skyfall Kingdom is a vile criminal who killed his own siblings because of his greed for the Throne.
Not only that, he has even forced himself upon countless women and has even unjustly executed the families of the women who had refused him.
For a vile man like him, no punishment other than death would be adequate.
Today, Ricardus Skyfall would be executed for all the crimes that he is guilty of, and this execution will also be the message for everyone.
The guilty will be punished no matter who they are. Even the Queen blood father will not be tolerated."
Saying those words, Astaria glanced at the man holding the axe and nodded.
The man nodded back and raised his axe.
Then, he glanced at the Queen.
With an emotionless look on her face, the Queen nodded,
*Whoosh*
The Axe was dropped, the roped was cut and,
*Slice*
*Thud*
Ricardus's head fell onto the ground.
He was executed.
"…"
An eerie silence fell all over the place.
Ricardus's blood continued to flow.
As people witnessed this scene, different thoughts filled their minds.
Some were fearful of the new Queen, they couldn't believe that her influence was strong enough to even execute the previous King.
Some were shocked that she ordered the execution of her father without a single change in her expression.
Some were delighted that the Queen seemed just.
Some thought the Queen was cruel.
'He is finally gone.'
Astaria, on the other hand, couldn't help but look at Ricardus's head with an emotional look on her face.
She had been waiting for this day for a long long time.
An image of her child appeared in her mind and a small smile appeared on her face,
'I have finally avenged you, Dek.' She spoke inwardly.
Arvina, who saw her teacher's smile couldn't help but glance at her husband's severed head again.
Different emotions filled her mind.
She was delighted.
That man was finally gone.
She was free now.
On the other hand, Amaya and Allura, who were also once King's wife glanced at his severed head,
Amaya didn't really care.
She was busy trying to avoid her annoying mother, who has been talking to her for a while now.
Allura had the same attitude as well.
She didn't exactly hate the King, however, she didn't like him either.
She was pretty much neutral, but she was still happy that filth like this was finally removed from this world.
Nux knew what his women were thinking, therefore, he ignored all of them and only contacted the one who worried him the most,
'Are you okay?'
He questioned.
'I am fine.'
Evane replied without any change in her expression.
'You don't have to act strong in front of me.' Nux replied.
Evane might not show it, but she still ordered the execution of her own father right now, this was definitely affecting her.
Or at least that's what Nux's thought.
Evane, however, shook her head,
'It was nothing. That man had to die. If I didn't order his execution, she would have found another way to kill him.
All of this is just a show planned by Amaya to raise my authority even further.
Something like this can't affect me.
I am not that weak.'
'Of course you are not.'
Hearing her reply, Nux just smiled.
He would still spend more time with Evane today just to be sure.
Of course, Evane wouldn't mind it either.
Anyways, that was how the Coronation of Queen Evane and Execution of King Ricardus ended and the next morning's sun rose up.
