The Conqueror Of The Crown

Dillon: My queen.

Eldest queen: you have been through a lot. How have you been?

Dillon: well my queen.

Queen: good. Do you know why I've summoned you??

Dillon: no my queen.

Queen: I called you here to show support to you. I have admired you for a long time now emperor Dillon the conqueror of Dolion. I've read stories about your campaigns and all your troubles. I think it is just fair for me to show my support as Dolion has gifted us 2 princesses to marry my kin. Your beloved sister Mihrihmah and your beautiful daughter Ceres. You shall return to Dolion with pride and honor. I gift to you thousands of acres of land as tribute for your bravery.

Dillon: thank you my queen! Thank you!

Queen: you have done well. I bless your princes to recover from their injuries.

Dillon: Thank you! Thank you!

Queen: May you return safely in Dolion...

After vermithor and thermidors battle they both fell but fortunately they were found by the general. They were immediately treated and sent to Dolion. Both princes still unconscious and weak but with the queens blessing Dillon rushed back to the capital after saying his goodbyes to his sister and daughter. Once he arrived he received news that both his sons were awake and fine. He then started his court as a representative of thermidor. Many of his ministers wanted to discuss about vermithors punishment. He then persuaded the ministers to wait for when thermidors ready to come back to court and he shall decide the fate of his brother. Now in a complicated situation once again. He ordered vermithor to be guarded 24/7 fearing his escape. But vermithor on the other hand was fearing for his life. He feared that they would order his execution. He feared he'd die with regret. He feared to die while his sister had hatred against him. As a young boy vermithor knew that thermidor was more responsible and much more better than him. Many praised his brother more including his father. The other only person who always checks up on him. Her dear sister ceres. When he was young he saw how his sister rose up from the ranks with her intelligence and not because of her gender. She was fair, wise, beautiful and kind. She taught him and his brother well whether in politics or martial arts he always remembered how his sister taught and valued him. Vermithor was prepared to die and receive punishment... But not before saying goodbye to his sister. He requested to meet ceres. But all of his request never even reached his father, brother and sister. The imperial Court prevented his requests to reach any of them fearing that vermithor was sending our threats to the Dillon and thermidor. But the ministers made a mistake. They missed one of vermithors letters and that letter was found by Dillon himself. He then scolded the ministers for preventing his son from seeing ceres. After he had read vermithors request he immediately called for ceres and left the decision to her. She accepted vermithors requests and rushed to her brother. She barged in his chamber and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back. Ceres then asked how he was doing, what happened, and how was he being treated. Ceres assured her brother that once he was pardoned she would bring him with her to trytia. Vermithor trusted her. He knew that she might scold him, hit him, reprimand him but one thing she wouldn't do was to hurt him purposely. He told her that he'll wait for that day when he once again will be able to stand beside her with pride and make her proud of him. As they had to say their goodbyes Dillon granted ceres permission to visit vermithor any time she'd like. This gave ceres the confidence that her brother would love and she was very happy and excited for his release to be announced. But this wait was very long. They had to wait 5 whole months as thermidor refused to go back to court. And the only reason he went to his court was because ceres pleaded vermithors case to be opened and his trial to begin. Thermidor agreed. At the first day of the trial against vermithor every minister in the court voted unanimously for vermithor to be executed by the blood eagle. Ceres was in shock and was in great fear and anger. So angered that she scolded each and every minister at court

Ceres: How dare you! How dare all of you! You dare suggest my brother get executed in such a vile manner! That execution is only for traitors!

Grand vizier: Your Highness. May I remind you what vermithor has done? He has caused instability for the empire and committed such inhumane deeds!

Ceres: Grand vizier! Please! Please help me just this once! We must spare my brother please!

Thermidor: Enough. First of all he shall not be executed by the blood eagle. Ceres don't worry I will ensure it. Now calm down all of you. Your giving me a headache.

As more weeks pass by Ceres and the ministers go back and forth within the trial. Ceres would not back down on the ministers attacks against vermithor. She also daily visited vermithor. She brought him gifts, food and comfort. She wasnted him to be happy and healthy even in a cell. A verdict was soon announced

" A degree from our emperor thermidor! Prince vermithor has committed grave acts of rebellion and is to be exiled to Trystia. He shall accompany the princess and he shall grant all his wealth to the poor. None of his treasures shall be left and compensation will be paid to those who have been wronged. Respect it! "

As the time soon came Ceres and vermithor then took off to Trystia. Vermithor refused to say good bye to his brother and father. But after a while vermithor soon gained standing in Trystia's court. He proved that he is the great Dillon the conquerors son as he showed his talents. Vermithor slowly reconciled with his brother and father after a while.

A year later...

The imperial children are now 22.

Thermidor decided to abolish the harem and to pass a rule that an emperor must only have one son from now on. He expanded the empire and gained influence in other empires. He was the nickname "Thermidor the Vast", " Thermidor the Truthful" and "Thermidor the Just". He now has a good relationship with vermithor and always showed his support to his brother.

Vermithor now had a good standing in Trystia. Accompanying his sister all the time and gained the trust of the eldest queen. He was also given an army of his own to lead and protect both Trystia and Dolion incase of certain events. He grew more popularity and regained his wealth and honor. He was given the titles " The King Who Never Was"

Ceres and yongqi finally welcomed their first child. A handsome boy young prince named ivar. He was named after yongqis uncle prince ivar who was married to Dillon's sister Mihrihmah. Ceres has now produced an heir for yongqi and is now secure in Trystia. She is now the biggest backer and protector of vermithor whenever he was criticized.

Dillon... As his health truly weakened the past year he struggled. But he was able to see his children reconcile and be living to one another again. Dillon was once said to be one of the best conquerors who had ever lived. He decided to die as a conqueror as well. At the night before he died he sent a letter to all three of his children expressing his love. He sat on his throne and said his final words "A farmer dies for his land, a warrior dies for his country, an emperor dies for his empire. But I am a conqueror. And now I shall die for the throne" and with that Dillon passed away wearing his magnificent crown while sitting on the throne.

And there ends with Dillon the "War of Crown's"
