Chapter 9. King Crowned by the Flames

After an exhausting walk through the stores with Liz, he slept like a rock in the big bed.

Early in the morning, the two forced themselves to wake up.

Snuggling into the warmth of Hypnos's chest, Elizabeth smiled as she imagined swinging her wand back and forth performing magic.

Hypnos, who also had his eyes open, sighed and cursed the world that forced him to wake up so early.

========

At the dinner table.

At the long table full of different types of food. Hypnos used his two hands for two different purposes.

While impatiently eating the creamy porridge, he was also doing something he had forgotten to do last night.

Raising his hand, his reddish ring gleamed in the bright light of the dawn sun. As if by magic, Hypnos checked the stored items and pulled out something specific.

As if there were a space separate from reality, a long red cable was pulled from the space in front of it.

The golden snitch added charm, along with the red handle that could very well be used with both hands due to its size.

Right after the bottom, a cross-shaped guard expanded like a long crown. Soon after, a long blade that shone silver and gold on the thin edges. Some runic symbols marked the blade just above Cruz's guard. The golden engravings of the dragon meander through the blade as if they were alive and provoke anyone but its rightful owner.

All elves with their heads bowed with a faint smile at the golden light emanating from their master and his sacred sword.

Running his fingers gently over the silver blade, he enjoyed the prominent feel of the sword.

In recognition, the blade vibrated slightly over the touch of slender fingers.

With his eyes closed, he smiled slightly with the gesture of the blade.

"I liked you too." He whispered with his forehead against the blade.

As if they were in a separate space, time passed differently between the two.

After a few moments, the blade vibrated slightly.

Hypnos sighed and whispered.

"I will bring you your scabbard, Avalon. After all, you are made for each other."

"Come back for now. It's not yet time to show yourself to the world." He whispered before putting it back in the space ring.

Looking up, he saw Liz having her breakfast as if nothing had happened.

Turning to the side, he looked at all the elves and said to Silth.

"Silth, take me to my legitimate 'throne'".

Silth looked surprised, but laughed softly before bowing.

"As you wish, my master!"

While thinking about his own nature, he decided to walk to the end of the world! Mouse over this world and decide your next steps when you sit at the highest point.

To begin with, it was time for him to take over his inheritance by law and be the head of the Austräs Vermillion family.

As Silth walked through the elegant corridors, he stopped in front of a door before placing his palm on it.

It opened just after a circle formed by lines and runes disappeared with a glow.

The doors were opened with both hands by Silth, who immediately leaned to the side, making way for him.

Nodding, he passed through the high arch of the door and found himself in a large room.

The room followed the same choice of colors as the entire palace. Like a temple, the ceiling was raised by large pillars of red-white marble.

The floor, like the rest of the palace, was smooth and shiny like polished crystal.

In addition to gold ornaments and other precious jewels, there was a high throne at the end of the hall.

Its reddish fabric was marked with a Phoenix coat of arms, with its wings extended in the shape of a full moon. The throne itself was made of scarlet ruby ​​decorated with tall Leo pieces to support the hands.

"Wow." Hypnos said lightly with interested eyes.

Walking among the tall pillars, his footsteps echoed down the silent corridor like thunder in a storm.

Unceremoniously, he sat elegantly on the scarlet throne.

Silent footsteps came down the hall just after sitting on the throne.

The hundreds of elves walked elegantly down the corridor. His clothes looked right for the moment. His noble figures added even more the feeling of royalty in the throne room.

Among her figures, the sweet figure of Elizabeth walked in a long red dress that followed behind her. Her celestial figure made her look like the most noble red queen.

As there was no other throne for Liz, she made a point of sitting on his lap with a cheerful smile.

"Sigh. This girl ... I think I will have to fulfill my role in the near future ..."

With all the elves in a respectful position, Silth took a step forward before kneeling below the throne.

In his hands extended above his head, a small black velvet box.

Holding the box in his hand, Hypnos opened it carefully.

Carefully arranged in the middle of the box was a black ring with the clan symbol printed on the dark red jewel.

Hypnos's gaze became serious when he noticed powerful magical features imprinted on the ring. Probably to test the real heir or to eliminate those who are not worthy of the position.

Putting the ring on his right ring finger, he saw the magic happen.

The dark jewel began to shine brightly, even to become incandescent and abrasive.

Orange electric rays ran down his arm, before turning into a golden, electric flame.

Running down his body, the trail of flame formed in a crown of flame over his head.

"A well-crafted show for a future heir, I would say." He said in an amused tone.

As the crown of flame floated over his head, screams of a phoenix sounded in the distance.

At the same time, all the elves knelt and said in unison.

"Long live King Hypnos!"
