章 27: Hidden Truths
As the chaos began to settle, King Zane addressed the nation.
My fellow citizens, I know you are confused and afraid. Allow me to explain...
-*Flashback: Three days after the Royal Ball*-
Noblemen Zenox came to Prince Zane and informs him of the conditions of the Kingdom's slaves.
You mean to tell me the King and my brother ordered what?!
They will march on the Beastmen stronghold in the west and bring them down. Those who survive will become slaves and worse, they plan on enslaving New Ottawa as well. Noblemen Turin has confirmed this. Thanks to the Ghost letting me know he was working directly with you, I knew I had to tell you this once I found out. Most of the noble faction expressed how this was a mistake but the King threatened to have them silenced.
Alright, I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. When do they plan to act on this?
Coronation Day.
As the two rushed to inform the Ghost, they called for a mass meeting in secret within Acropolis History Museum.
As Prince Zane and Noblemen Zenox informed those loyal to Zane about what was to happen, the New Ottawan nobles remained silent.
Noblemen Ghost, I'm shocked you've said nothing.
I'm debating whether or not to kill every last one of the King's court and the bull-headed Prince Roan.
The room was silent as the Ghost went on. I should march Constitution into the capital and have her remove everyone from existence within its walls.
Normally, I'd agree with you, but we have an opportunity here.
Which is?
We use this information for a coup. I promise you, there will be revenge, but more importantly, we can put Prince Zane in charge of the Kingdom!
The Ghost thought a moment before agreeing. How long do we have?
A week. Can your people make a weapon so terrifying that it'll scare everyone in the room?
The Ghost turned to Juno and her team. Well? Can it be done?
We've been working on a project that will work for this. Give us two days and it'll be ready.
-*Flashback ends*-
King Roan and my father planned on enslaving more Beastmen and our New Ottawan friends. Thanks to the bravery of the nobles and the excellent craftsmanship of the New Ottawan Research Division, we were able to act swiftly and stop them before things got ugly. I swear to all of you, I shall look out for you and make your lives better! WE CAN MAKE THIS OUR BETTER HOME! A BETTER KINGDOM OF ASHFELD!
The crowd murmured amongst themselves for a moment before cheering on their new king and those involved with stopping this evil plot.
Tomorrow at mid-day, we shall execute the traitors of our land and keep them from hurting anyone else! This is a decree, all citizens are to witness this. These men and women have been found guilty by multiple sources and I decree them guilty.
As the traitors were hauled off, King Zane sat on his throne and looked to the Ghost.
Dispatch your 451st to maintain the peace until tomorrow.
It shall be done.
