330 One Kingdom Falls While Another Becomes An Empire Part 3
The King did not say anything, forcing me to keep my head lowered. Only after five minutes had passed did he finally speak: “Why has the envoy from another kingdom barged into my capital city and forced their way into my castle? Is this proper etiquette that should be followed by a Princess of another kingdom no less?”
“Hmmm? So telling my knights and myself that I need to wait outside even though I am the envoy is considered proper etiquette for your kingdom? I never knew this….” I said as I lifted my head without the king telling me to and tilted my head to the side, looking at him as if he was an idiot.
“Watch your tongue! You are in front of his majesty!” One of the aides stepped forward and yelled but what caught my eyes was not his ugly face or the large nose he had on his noggin but the gun shaped object at his side. Which highly intrigued me.
To his remark, I only smiled and said: “Watch my tongue? I only asked a simple question. Why are you getting all flustered when all I did was ask why I, an envoy of another kingdom, was told I couldn’t even enter the capital because I am a demi human. You might as well have just yelled: I want war! I mean, is that not what it means to reject an envoy and treat them with discourtesy? I mean, even now, the rudeness of this kingdom knows no bounds when you are not even willing to receive me in the real throne room. You do realize that I have already set up teleport points in this kingdom on my way here that my kingdom can use to send a massive army in to deal with a small kingdom like this that is rude towards one of their princesses, right?”
I watched with a sly smile on my lips as the king in front of me lips twitched, and his brow furrowed. He then snorted and waved his hand. “Stand down.” He narrowed his eyes and looked at me. He seemed to be finally taking me seriously. “What did you come to my kingdom for?”
“Nothing much. I just want you to….” My eyes lit up with magic circles as I finished: “Hand over your kingdom to me.”
“You dare!? Guards seize her!” The aid yelled out, but before anyone could move, the king suddenly stood up, and to their disbelief, he took off his crown and walked over to me and placed it on my head before kneeling down in front of me and saying: “As you wish, My Queen.”
“Your majesty!? What are you doing!? Witch! What did you do to His Majesty!?” No one dared to move. Even though the aide had just yelled out, they dared not move now that the king had suddenly done such a thing. They had no idea what was going on, but they knew this was not right. I could see the confusion and anger in their eyes, causing me to smile brightly.
“Thank you never thought you would hand it over so easily. Now then, as Queen, I guess I should seal off the kingdom.” I waved my hand, and with that, the entire kingdom was encompassed in a spinning barrier that no one could leave or enter through.
“What have you done!?” The aide was now starting to get scared. I could see it through his eyes. It was then that something seemed to strike him as he suddenly pointed at me and began trembling. “The Little Demon! Faith Cyrilia!”
“How rude! How am I a demon!?” I yelled out. I am not a demon. I am a very nice young woman who likes to read and eat cakes while sipping tea.
“You! So you came here to annex us just like you did to the Norian Kingdom!” The aide began to back away in horror. Even the knights who had surrounded me all began to back up. I do wonder if I was that scary. I see no reason for them to be acting this way.
“Look, I will not lie. I did come here to annex your kingdom, but that is only because you are producing weapons of mass destruction and then selling them to others. Those same weapons were used to attack my homeland and kill my kingdom’s people. Some of which were very close to me. Do you think after all of this, I was just going to let the kingdom who created these weapons go?” I asked as I waved my hand. The weapon on the side of the aide’s hip flew into my hand. I looked it over and saw that it was indeed a mini version of the weapon I had seized during the war.
“You! What happens to the weapons after they are sold has nothing to do with us! We just produce them!” I guess the aide did not see a reason to hold back information but sadly, he was very wrong with his words.
“Heh…. Did you really think such a reason would fly? I am here today to tell you that this kingdom is now the property of the Kingdom of Gravos. From this moment on!” I waved my hand and created magic circles in front of every being in the entire kingdom before saying in dragon speak: “You will all now sign a blood seal contract making it so you can no longer enslave any demi humans. You can also no longer sell weapons to anyone but the Gravos Kingdom. And You will never try to start an uprising at any point and time and will not harm anything that deals with the Kingdom of Gravos’s interests. Complete the blood seal by dripping a drop of blood onto the magic circles in front of you.”
With this, no one will ever be able to cause any issues, and everyone will be able to live peacefully from this moment on. Through my detection magic, I could see the demi humans who were enslaved crying tears of joy while others were cursing me or, well, cursing my voice. But there was nothing they could do about it. This kingdom was not the same as Gravos and would be under the same laws where everyone was equal and free. With this, I draw a magic circle on the ground, which would be a teleport to the officials who would be coming over to organize this kingdom to be under Gravos’s rule.
