The surroundings were calm. After the action done by Garyl , everyone was dumbfounded.
The queen was shocked, she did almost minutes before speaking, her brain hasn't yet registered what just happened.
The soldiers and queen were kneeling, she crawled on the podium to the dead body of her husband.
"No, no , no" she hold the body of her husband.
"Elmond! Elmond!" She shook his body, as if she wanted him to get up.
"Ahhhhhhhhh" she yelled , tears falling.
Garyl took a glass tube and put the breath of the king inside it then closed it.
"Ace!!! Do you want that I should continue with your mother?" He asked loudly.
"I'm here!"
Ace appeared in the court. The crowd opened up for him to pass amongst them, he was followed by amber-ruby and Logane.
Everybody was stunned by the ressemblance between the two girls.
"So it was true. She really ressemble the princess" one murmured
"I thought it was a rumor" another one said
The three people climbed on the podium . Logane directed herself towards her mother and hold her, she looked at Garyl and narrowed her eyes.
Amber-ruby and Ace were face to face with him. Their Ace frowned
"I thought you wanted another person to die because of you" he smirked.
He moved to Anuba and gave him the tube to hold. He then turned to the population.
"Look at your futur Prince everyone. He brought a stranger inside the castle and he used her to replace your princess Logane" he said
"Is it this kind of king you want? Someone that's powerless? The kingdom will disappear in 2 months if he becomes the king" he did the two number with his fingers.
"That's what you wanted the crown since the beginning" the queen said furious.
He turned to her.
"Exactly my sister-in-law" he smirked then his smirk vanished Leaving place to a serious expression.
"That crown is supposed to be mine. I have been working hard for my father to change his mind and choice me. I thought if he saw how hard I was working to become the futur king he will change that stupid rule that says that's it's the second son that's supposed to be the king"
He narrowed his face.
"But no! Nothing change. He had the power to change that rule but he didn't, he gave the title to his beloved son, Elmond" he said furiously clenching his fist.
"UnFortunately for him, he had a small accident.." he paused then smiled.
"Ordered by me!"
They widely opened their eyes in surprise.
"You killed your father?" Ace wondered.
"Oups!" He smiled.
"The only obstacle now was Elmond but when he did a son, I saw my crown going far from me again. So I had to eliminate both of you without bringing the attention on me" he explained.
"The plan of killing Logane first was my second plan that you successfully broke but it wasn't really important because my main plan was still there" he continued
"You are the devil!" The queen said with anger in her voice.
He shrugged.
"From now! I'm the new king of Irischester. Be with me and you will be save but if you against me , you will finish exactly as my brother, dead"
Murmuring could be heard in the crowd. All of them were shocked due to the revelations of the Garyl and didn't want him as a king but they were also afraid of him. They were afraid to be killed.
He approached Amber-ruby and murmured in her ears.
"You still have the chance to change your mine"
"I… told.. you … no! I don't need it" she narrowed her face.
He straightened back.
"Well! It's your decision"
Ace has never felt so powerless infront of any body, his uncle has the power of everything. He didn't see it coming, his uncle has planned it perfectly.
One of the men of Anuba brought a table having things on it and he placed it infront of Garyl.
"The blood of 20 virgins" he touched the bucket filled with blood
"1 goat" he touched the black goat that Anuba brought.
"The flower at the peak of the earth" he touched the golden flower that was in an incubator.
"My…. Ear" it was closed inside a plate, as he opened it , an unpleasant rot smell was coming from there.
Amber-ruby, Logane and the queen closed their nose and mouth with their two hands.
"And lastly…" he straightened his hand toward Anuba, Anuba gave him the glass tube.
Amber-ruby opened her eyes in surprise.
"Ace, he's doing the ritual" she said worried and afraid of what is going to come next.
"I know…" Ace narrowed even more.
"The last breath of a member of my family" Garyl said.
"I thought it will be Ace's breath that you would've taken for the ritual " Amber-ruby wondered
"It has always be the breath of my little brother that I wanted, a kind of revenge. If I took for Ace , my life will be boring. Ace is smarter, a good strategist and a strong soldier more than his father was. I need a strong opponent like him" Garyl said with a smirked.
"What ritual are you guys talking about?" Logane asked confused.
"Our uncle decided to have supernatural power and for that he needs to do a ritual" Ace explained.
"What!????" Both the queen and princess jolted.
He killed the goat with his bare hands, took his blood and fur , put it inside the bucket of the blood of the 20 virgins . He added the rest of the ingredients except the breath of Elmond inside , he stirred it . Took a little of the stirred mixture and put it inside the glass tube were they have the breath of Elmond.
He started to say an incantation. The clouds turned dark, the wind blew very strongly as he said the incantations. After saying it for the fifth time, he did a small wound on his index finger and allow a little of his blood to enter in the glass tube. The content inside the glass tube immediately turns colorless.
As he drank it, they was silence. Nobody was speaking, as if they were waiting for something to happen. After few seconds, thunder stroke Garyl. We couldn't see around him due to the steam around him then after some seconds again the steam dissipated and they saw a Garyl levitating with his arms broadly open.
