Unwavering loyalty

Six hours, that was all it took for the former second prince to quell the unrest in the former Midra Kingdom.

When it was over, he even had me come to the balcony of the castle to announce that our kingdom was taking over the Midra Kingdom.

There were many people that came to the ceremony that seemed unwilling to accept this, but it didn't seem like they said a thing.

I could see that it was all because it was the former second prince making this announcement that they chose to accept this. Though at the same time, it seemed like many of them wanted the second prince to take over as the new king instead.

Their faces did look better when I announced that the former second prince would be the regent for the area, but it didn't seem much better.

Once that was over, the former second prince had his men take care of the rest before leading me to the royal study.

The two of us sat down while the guards just stood on the side.
