SAGA:- JOURNEY TO SUN RISE. Chapter:-001->Crown ceremony preparations

Chapter:-001

->Crown ceremony preparations.

A day passed and a quiet night swept. The sun rose again. Birds chirped as Lanmyth was sleeping on his bed. At this time of day a maid always came to wake Lanmyth up.

Lanmyth tried Nano-alarm but it gave him headaches.

Lanmyth was sleeping in his bed as the door opened. A step came on, another step. Then arms of a boy reached his chest.

The boy shook Lanmyth a little. Lanmyth murmured and then rubbed his eyes. Sat up and yawned.

He raised his hand towards the boy thinking of maid who always came with a glass of water. As the boy saw Lanmyth's arm he thought of it as a handshake.

Hence, he grabbed his hand with both of his hands and shook Lanmyth.

"Awaahawa! Wait! Wai-! Water?!...eh? Where is maid and..you..?" He looked at the boy.

Black hair, chocolate brown eyes that appeared black. Big cheek and a roundish face. Big eyes like his..

Mother's? The boy appeared to be fourteen years old as Lina confirmed it in his head.

"Hein??" Lanmyth was shaken for a second.

"Yeehee~" Hein giggled a bit.

"You look fourteen years old? Weren't you just born days ago?" Lanmyth asked in curiosity.

"Mumma did this to me. It's better than before." Lanmyth saw that Hein's intelligence was also high but when he saw Hein giggling again.

His face deadpan dropped. He thought.

[He looks far worse than a failed experiment!]

[Lina:-boss! He's your brother. He looks dumb but I can assure he is really fine.]

[Did you caught a liking of him? He is really fine~? You are a artificial assistant how can you be affectionate towards a human?]

[Lina:- By fine I meant physically. His condition, organs development and all.]

"Phew!" Lanmyth left out a sigh and then stood up.

"Kimmy is calling you!" Hein said and lead the way.

Lanmyth thought who could be kimmy? His way of saying mother as mumma was also childish. Is he refering to king?

As Lanmyth arrived in the Hall he saw everyone important person was sitting their as if court was being held. Lanmyth saw Scyures, Myale amd Zarita standing in the centre.

[Is this?

Lina:- Yes boss. The ceremony of crown has started. Be cautious]

Lanmyth walked with Hein as they all five stood in the centre.

In the audience were merchants, Mingrus, Niminks, Jekra, two Phrosatias were sitting on special seats.

Then at the front top was sitting the king and queen. Two elders on left and two elders on right side.

An old women with loose skin, dark circles, draped in pink sweater and a yarn tied on her hair bun. Hand cross-locked. She was once the leading general of kingdom's main army.

A man with wrinkles on his face, long beard and a thick stick in his hand which Sundal used in yesterday's meeting. He was once trainer of king's swords.

A women with crossed legs. Feminine figure with a charm of heavens. A red cloth draped around her bossom and a long skirt with cuts on it's bottom to a little high. Peach coloured hair like silk. The wife of sundal.

And then sitting next to him was a masculine, in a kight's shape. Sundal.

Then the ceremony started. In audience there were people who Sundal called and king knew it.

Reason?

The crown was going to be decided by votes. But as positions, everyone's vote had different value. And the six jewels of crown. The king, the queen, and the four elders. If they already chose a crown inheritance then there would be no votes from people in audience.

The voting had a time limit until then every jewel of crown had right to make their point and lead the audience in their way.

It started from the ex-general. Her old lips opened up as the manager of ceremony summoned a voice-echo magic circle in front of her face.

Her voice echoed.

...

Lanmyth wanted to win it in any case scenario but he didn't wanted to use any powers, which might backfire him.

[People of our kingdom. I would like to present my ideal thought to all of you in the medium of my voice. I thank everyone present here who had to go through troubles of reaching this place only to hear my slow and stuttering voice.]

On her words people didn't spoke a word even a man yelled.

"We are honoured to hear your words general!!" Everyone looked at the man as She giggled.

[ That voice....? Pibu? Was that you....? It's been a while. I would like to talk to you but later not now.]

Pibu was once met with General in her days of serving the kingdom for his reasons.

[Now, as an elder. I would like to say the name of the candidate who I nominate as the crown and one who I would like to eliminate as a crown.]

On her words all four siblings shook but Hein was unfazed. He didn't cared and looked at his mother smiling. The queen smiled at him to, they were having their own time.

Elimination? Lanmyth thought. Then a page he once read about ceremony came in his mind. As Nano-memory was efficient, it was said that 200 hundred years ago the first time eliminating candidate stopped.

After that today it started again?

[I would like to nominate...]

Lanmyth prayed it was him. Myale was standing without any expression, scyures seemed uninterested. Zarita was excited.

[MYALE ARTHUVUSTRA KLEJOLE. As the candidate for ruler of this kingdom . The Queen. The crown. My decision was made because of how serious she is about everything. She is practical but can think emotionally too. She can perfectly hide her emotions behind a mask to trick any manipulation. She excels in assassination and combat skills. Intellectually, she is a smart women who can handle any diplomatic situation with confidence.]

Myale was shaken as if the elder see through her, Lanmyth's dropped a sweat in the thinking of Elder general.

If her thoughts are all logical, then all odds against it, the one among us who will get the elimination vote is..

[As for elimination candidate. I want to choose..]

Me!

[LANMYTH ARTHUVUSTRA KLEJOLE. I have no personal conflicts or hate towards this child. But handling a kingdom requires a humbleness and attitude for learning. Whereas, he is a man who is drawn towards materialistic things and has a ego in his knowledge. That dosen't mean he is bad, but in my eyes he isn't suitable.]

After her verdict, she sat on her seat. Audience gave a round of applause, as the current votes were announced.

[Myale:☆

Lanmyth:♧]

Then the trainer of king's sword stood up. He coughed a bit and the spoke in the magic circle.

[In the name of king's sword. I take an oath to be true and honest about my verdict. I. Want to nominate ZARITA ARTHUVUSTRA KLEJOLE as the candidate for the crown.]

Everyone was shocked including Zarita. In fact her jaw dropped. Then he continued to speak.

[My choice might seem a little..uneasy to many of you here. But, we change kings for the better and for the untasted. By untasted I meant, it's not hard for our current king to extent his lifespan. But we still choose, because we think different minds can attract different fortunes to our land. Her mind isn't of a rules in traditional sense. But that's what life is about. She will learn to rule and add a seasoning of her own way.]

His explanation was good enough to convince the audience to clap. Even Zarita was emotional and clapping.

Zarita received a message from system.

[Emotional fuel: 14920 Ef]

[Would you like to upgrade an ability?]

Lanmyth looked from side that she was doing something with her system.

Zarita told the system in her mind that not now.

Lanmyth got an idea that if she can open system and still go undetected by everyone then.

[Lina! Activate all the skills I added to crown ceremony list tab]

[Lina:- Activating all skills listen in CC tab]

[The ability "LEGIT APPEAL" has been activated]

[The ability "SEDUCTION'' Has been set on 300%]

[The ability "FORCED ATTRACTION" Is activated on high-frequency]

As Lanmyth used these skills. Messages popped up.

[ The crowd seemed to be looking at you]

[The crowd is showing an unknown bond towards you]

But these weren't the target. Lanmyth wanted the elders to be charmed.

[Now, I shall choose one to be eliminated right? Then I choose Scyures. He isn't a boy who can carry the crown with the same pride as the crown holds. He is better as a knight I believe]. Then he sat down.

Scyures was irritated by that old man then stood a beautiful lady. The wife of Sundal.

[XUSXES SUNDAL]

She stood up, running her arm on her neck. Nearly every man in audience fell for her charm amd seductive body.

But scyures, Lanmyth and Hein was untouched.

Hein was still looking at his mother moving his small finger and playing with his mother.

Scyures was using.

[The mental ability "MENTAL WALL" (Lv 5) is protecting you from someone's charm]

And as for Lanmyth.

[Lina:- Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....!]

Lina was playing absurd machine voices to keep Lanmyth distracted.

[Oh my~ It's a pleasure to see you all people together. It's a pleasure to let those words flow from my tongue.]

She licked her lips.

[And it's a pleasure to be pleasurable from people of my country. I, would love to nominate the second prince of our current king. SCYURES ARTHUVUSTRA KLEJOLE.]

Scyures was confused as if it was going in a pattern. By that means the next vote will be mine and the current one to be eliminated might be Hein.

[I feel an honour to call his name as the new king. He is smart as a king. His combat skills are unmatched as many of us has seen in his duels in academy. He is charismatic and can influence people of our kingdom in a positive way with love. And as for the elimination. I'd like to eliminate.

Lanmyth!]

King's hand clenched as if he was more leaned towards Lanmyth.

She sat without an explanation. Lanmyth's face dropped as he ran his eyes and looked at Hein waving at Sundal.

Then sundal stood up.

[ Lina! Check if Hein has a system or not?]

[Checking.....]

[....]

Lanmyth was slowly becoming sure that Hein has a system which he is using right now.

[No!]

Huh? Lanmyth's expression loosed as Lina said there was no system.

Then Sundal stood up and looked around. He smiled and then spoke.

[Check! Check! Oh! Hiya there everyone. I am not good at explanations so I'll be straight to the point.]

[The one I want to eliminate is MYALE ARTHUVUSTRA KLEJOLE. And the one I want to Nominate is...HEIN ARTHUVUSTRA KLEJOLE]

He sat down as all the people associated with Sundal clapped for him.

Lanmyth thought.

「Wait! That's not going how it was. Supposed to be. If my prediction is correct. Then King will choose either me or Myale. But what about queen? She was protective for Hein but she also was saying to refrain him from being a crown? So will she vote him out or in?」

The king stood up. As honour everyone in audience stood up and bowed. The king raised his hand giving a sign to sit down. He then removed his black armour headpiece.

A man with colourful eyes and blonde hair with hint of green, blue, red and yellow at the edges.

Every women their was flattened by his sight and Sundal gritted his teeth.

[I. The KING OF TSARESFORD. Will give my verdict and take my place again. I do not intent to give any explanation for discrimination's sake.

I choose LANMYTH ARTHUVUSTRA KLEJOLE. AS THE CANDIDATE OF CROWN.

FOR ELIMINATION. I CHOOSE HEIN ARTHUVUSTRA KLEJOLE.]

King wore his head piece again and sat down. People clapped really hard.

The votes were announced.

[ MYALE: ☆♧♧

LAMMYTH: ☆♧♧

SCYURES:☆

ZARITA:☆

HEIN:☆♧]

Lanmyth thought. If queen chose Myale or Me, it will be a waste vote. She has to vote between Scyures or Zarita. But if she voted Hein. She has to eliminate Scyures or Zarita.

Which will even out the outcome hence the open for all votes will start.

But If she want to take out Hein without any grudge from her children bias. She has to either cancel her vote to anyone or vote and eliminate Hein alone.

Then the Queen stood up. No one anticipated what would happen next?

Will the votes go open for all in the audience?

Or will one winner come out from the votes of crown jewels.
