章 219: I will make the rules

In the royal hall of the palace, Aragon gathered with the royal family to share a pivotal announcement. The air in the room held a blend of anticipation and uncertainty as he addressed the royal assembly. Leanna, Ariade, and Elizleta were called prior, saying that he had an announcement to make.

Aragon, his expression solemn yet determined, began to unveil his decision. "The time has come for a new era in the capital. Ariade, the second prince, shall ascend to the throne as the new king. Elizleta, you shall stand beside him as his queen."

The weight of Aragon's proclamation hung heavy in the air, casting a solemn atmosphere over the hall. As he declared Ariade, the second prince, to be the new king, a wave of shock rippled through the assembly. The ministers and courtiers, bound by customs and decorum, struggled to contain their gasps and expressions of surprise.
