Chapter 54

Miranda walked over to her late father's crown and picked it up. She then walked over to my brother, Joe. I knew what was coming next since I've done a lot of research into the Kingdom of Trex in the past few days. I knew that one can become king in a few ways and one of them was to kill the king to earn the crown. She hands Joe the crown and kneels to him.

"You have killed the king so as tradition, you're the new king." Miranda said.

Joe looks at the crown in his hand then he looks at me, seeing what I would suggest. I nod my head to tell him to put the crown on. He puts the crown on.

"ALL HAIL KING JOSEPH PETAK!!!!" I yell as everyone but me kneeled. I walk over to Joe and told him "Congrats!." then hugged him. I'm proud of Joe. I'm sure our youngest brother would be proud of him if he was here.

"So, what is your first act as king?" I asked Joe.

"I saw how you was reacting after seeing the slave trader camps. So I'm going to to put an end to that. Then I'm lowering the taxes in this kingdom." He replied.

"Well, before you do anything, you should address the public for the first time so they know that this kingdom has a new king." I said.

"Right." said Joe.

Ariana stood up and spoke. "I can get the word out!"

"How?" both of us asked.

"I can project my voice so that the entire capital can hear." she replied.

"Go ahead, Ariana." Joe said to her. I kept my eyes on her. I noticed that she had a twinkle in her eyes when Joe said her name. Is she falling for my brother? I hope so as I know that Joe should start his own harem. Yes, he has Opal and Xenia but he needs a princess. Ariana walks away. I tell everyone else to stand up. I play "Celebration Song" by Unwritten Law as I high five my brother. Opal and Xenia walk over to Joe and hug him. I look at Priscilla.

"Well, looks like you need new bodyguards as I think they should stay with Joe." I said to Priscilla.

"Well, I think I can allow that as I already have the best bodyguard here." She replied.

"And who is that??" I asked though I know the answer.

"You." She said back to me. I pick her up and kiss her. I look towards Lucy and her mother. They're going to have a lot of catching up to do. I then look at Sara and Kate. They're happy to see me and they walk up to me.

"So, how did we do??" asked Kate.

"Both of you did awesome work!" I told them. I hug them both then kiss them. I look towards Miranda. I see she's sad but then she looks at me and smiles. I walk over to her to see if there's anything I can do to help her cheer up.

"I know you loved your father and brother but they committed a serious crime and had to pay their debt."

"I know, King Barnes. It's just I'm sad but relived that this is over and I can focus on more important things."

"Which is?"

"You!"

"Me? What about me?"

"I want to be with you."

Priscilla, Sara, and Kate heard that. They walked over and was looking over Miranda up and down. Miranda looked scared at first but then Sara spoke up with her hand held out.

"Welcome to the Sisterhood."

Ah hell, what am I going to do.

30 minutes later...

Ariana walks out of a balcony overlooking a huge crowd. Everyone in the city got her message and came to the castle as quickly as they can. They stand there waiting for Ariana to start speaking. Joe walks out next and then the rest of us. The crowd starts to stir.

"SILENCE!"

The crowd stops. It was so quiet, you could hear pin drop.

"I present to you, the NEW king. King Joseph Petak." Ariana said. Well, what she saod earlier is true. everyone could hear her. But then Joe walks up to the edge of the balcony.

"Hey everyone. I'm the new king. I'm also the brother of the Mad Dog King of the Barnes Kingdom so this kingdom is a part of the Barnes Alliance. I'm going to make some changes. From now on, slavery is outlawed in this kingdom. If you have slaves, they are now free. Failure to comply to this decree will land you in the dungeon or death. This kingdom has one week to free the slaves but the capital has 24 hours. I'm going to lower the taxes to the lower and middle class citizens and slightly raise taxes on the upper class. I will also set up help for the lower class in food and financial assistance. I'm also going to visit every city, town, and village to see the living conditions there. Lastly, if you don't want me as king, you're more than welcome to try and kill me, but be warned. My brother is here and he will make your death a painful one."

I look at Joe as he said that last part. I wonder if he's using me to deter anyone from trying to assassinate him. Joe looks at me after that speech and asks me if I wanted to personally take out the slave trader camps in the capital. I nodded. Priscilla, Sara, and Kate follow me back into the castle.

5 minutes later...

The streets were full as nobles were panicking and the lower and middle class citizens were partying. However, no slaves were in the streets yet as they didn't get the news. I'm in front of one of the camps that the slave traders were at. I see the tents starting to come down but what I see next set me off with rage. I see the slaves still in cages and the traders were getting ready to leave.

"WHERE THE FUCK YOU GOING, JACKASSES!" i yelled. The slave traders looked at me with pale faces. I walked up to one of them and I grab him by the neck.

"Please spare me!" said jackass number one.

"Let all these people out of the cages, NOW!"

"Sir, yes sir!"

The other slave traders quickly unlock the cages and the slaves get out and walk towards me. I see men, women, and children with cuts and bruises. They were underweight and malnourished. I'm also noticing that some of the women and children have been "messed" with. I was livid.

"YOU MOTHERFUCKING SLAVE TRADERS! I'M GOING TO SLAGHTER YOU ALL!"

Shots ring out and the slave traders were dead with gunshot wounds in their heads. I heal the former slaves and take them to the teleportation room. Unlike Silverton, I didn't go with them but I sent instructions with them on what I wanted done with them. I went to the next camp and I saw the same. Those slave traders felt my rage. The last one was the one that pissed me off the most. I saw a familiar slave trader there. The one I let go when I was at Silverton. I also saw another familiar face. The fat fuck that I saved Mary from. I saw them gathering up the slaves to kill them.

"I DON'T FUCKING THINK SO, MOTHERFUCKERS!"

Hearing my voice, they turned around with pale faces. They remembered me. I take out my hunting knife.

"I'm going to enjoy this." I said with a twisted smile.

I give them both Columbian neck ties. I'm take the slaves to the teleportation room and send them to my kingdom. Well, that part is over. Now to deal with the nobles.

I meet with Joe back at the castle. I have a plan.

"Joe, you know. Some of the nobles might not be willing to part ways with their slaves."

"What do you think we should do?"

"We? This isn't my kingdom, dumbass! You're the king here."

"Shut the fuck up, Barn. I'm still getting used to this. I know you have an idea about the situation."

"I already had Kate look at all the nobles here in the capital to see who is likely to be resistant to the your ideas. There are 3 nobles and they also seem to be the most prominent nobles in this kingdom and friends of the late king."

"Damn Michael! You're on top of this!"

"Hell yeah I am! The more you know, the stronger you are!"

"Good to know. Now you want to do something to these 3 nobles?"

"Not just me, you too. I think we should introduce ourselves to these 3."

"Hmmm, I think you're right, You say it since you're better at it."

"No. This is your kingdom now. You have to say it!"

"Fine. Let's roll!"

20 minutes later...

I follow Joe to the first mansion. One of the nobles that we're going to deal with lives here. However, thinks to Kate scouting, the other 2 nobles that are on our list is currently here too. Besides the mansion, the land this noble owns has 2 guest houses. And since these nobles have a lot of slaves, they must be keeping them in the 4th building that looks more like a warehouse than living quarters on the outside. There's even a cemetery on the grounds beside the warehouse looking building. Joe senses me getting pissed.

"Calm down Barn, you'll ruin the plan."

Joe knocks on the door. The door opens and we walk in. I see the 3 fuckers that I want to fucking destroy standing at the top of the grand stairway.

"Hello, Your Majesties. To what do we owe the pleasure to both of you to visit these hallowed grounds?" said the noble in the middle.

"My brother and I wanted to meet some of the nobles so we asked around and found that your name is the most mentioned. I didn't think you already have guests." my brother replied.

"Sir, I want to take a look at the building you have on these grounds and I don't mean the 2 guest houses." I said. All three was hesitant at first but they saw the look in my eyes and the noble in the middle said ok. Before I left to investigate the warehouse, I told Joe to keep an eye on these fuckers as I take a look.

I head back out of the door and walk towards the warehouse. I walk past the cemetery and seeing the number of small headstones, I wonder what happened to those poor souls. I get to the door and I see there's a lock on it. I kick the door open and walk inside.

"Oh my god!" was all I could say. My heart broke seeing the scores of women, children. and female beast kin in horrible living conditions. Many were starving and dehydrated. I saw some that had bruises and cuts. My rage couldn't be contained anymore. I walked my way back to the mansion quickly and with all my strength. punched the door down. I guess Joe sensed I was coming because he moved away from the door. I saw 3 pale faces at the top of the grand stairway. I used "Quick Step" to get to the top and stand in front of the noble fucks.

"You fuckers care to tell me why I saw many women, beast kin, and kids in poor conditions in that building?"

"Th-They're slaves. We can do what we want!" the noble on the right said.

"You have balls saying that in front of me." I told the moron. I then punched his head into a red mist.

"Y-You can't do that!" said the noble on the left of the owner of the land.

"I just did it which shows how many fucks I give!"

This time Joe made his way to the warehouse. I grab the noble that was on the left.

"You better stay right there because if you move, I will take fire poker and while it's glowing red hot, shove that some bitch up your ass!"

I drag the noble that I grabbed outside and towards the warehouse.

"Explain this, motherfucker!"

"I-I-I...."

"ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER! DO YOU SPEAK IT!"

"What is English?"

I face palmed. I grabbed the fucktard by the throat and lift him off the ground.

"DON'T TEST MY PATIANCE!"

"Ok, we like to have fun."

"WHAT KIND OF FUN!"

"We hit them, whip them, and have our way with them."

I couldn't hold my rage back anymore. I chokeslam the sick fuck to the ground and summon my Glock and shot the dirty bastard in the groin. I then shoot his head into oblivion when I switched to the Sledgehammer. I walk back inside the mansion and tell the only living noble in the house to walk his fucking ass to me now before I break my foot off in his ass. I light a cigarette and take a hit off of it. Joe hasn't came back so he must be healing the poor slaves.

"I'm beyond pissed right now so you better prepare to meet your friends in hell!"

I see movement at the door of the mansion. I see his maids and his butler at the door.

"I know you all know of his sins. It's time for him to face them all. You will not stop me from passing judgement."

"No, we won't do that. He has to face his sins." one of the maids said. I could tell that she was abused. I finally broke.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Like Sub-Zero did in Mortal Kombat, I pull the bastard's head off his shoulders and his spine came with his head. I drop the head and walk towards the maids and butler. I heal every maid and the butler and offered them to work for me at my castle. They quickly accept my offer. I check on Joe and he's fine. He's healing the slaves. I tell the butler to head to the guest house and to tell whoever is inside to come here. If they don't listen, come tell me and I'll handle it. After the butler leaves, I see a woman out of the corner of my eye. Must be the wife of the first noble.

"Hello ma'am."

"Hello Your Majesty." said the woman.

"I must ask if you're the wife of the man that lives here."

"No, I was dating him but I saw what he truly was a few days ago. I walked in on him beating his slave. A child to boot. I was appalled. I just came by to get some of my belongings here and to try to help get the slaves out of here."

"Where were you going to take them if you got them out of here?"

"Your kingdom of course. I heard what you did in Silverton so I figured that the Barnes Kingdom would be the best place to take them to be free and for them to start living again."

"You're smart. How would you like to come to my kingdom to start a settlement with these slaves that I and my brother just saved here?"

She thought about it for a few minutes before shaking my hand.

"I'll accept."

After 10 more minutes, the maids and butlers from the guest houses came and they all crowded around me as they were thinking me. I guess the other 2 was just as shitty as the man that owns the land. Some BAA soldiers came here as my escort.

"I want you to take 300 soldiers and head to the other 2 nobles' homes, I believe there may be some more slaves there. Also, if their wives or girlfriends are there, tell them to come to the castle as the king will explain what is going on here."

The soldiers ran off to carry out my orders. I turn and see the woman walking away.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Wanda."

"I look forward to see you again, Wanda"
