บท 19: Angraj Karna
After our coronation was over, the capital city turned into a music box; the streets filled with people dancing and singing. From the balcony, we watched it all, sharing happiness with the joyful crowd.
"Tetris, would you be willing to become our advisor?" I asked the queen of the former kingdom of Raja; well, she will always be the queen of Raja.
She looked surprised for a second before she smiled and bowed her head down a little. "Whatever my king wishes of me, I shall do it." She certainly knows how to make someone happy.
"Shizu, we will need to send letters to the western states announcing our ascension to the throne and the change in the name of our kingdom." She nodded and thought about it for a second before she smiled, and took my hands.
She led me to the highest point in the castle and pointed her finger downward. When I looked towards where her finger was pointed, I could see the people—my people who were trusting me wholeheartedly.
"Are you, are you really willing to take on the burden of all these people who are trusting you? You are the strongest among us, but I can't help but ask," she said as a thoughtful look appeared on her face.
True, now that I think about it, I was trying to forget the feeling of the weight of the Kingdom on my shoulders. Shizue asked this because she also felt that, I could tell.
"You know, I am not sure about that, but as long as you are with me, as long as you support me, I will be able to shoulder all the world's burden. Just trust me, and we will prevail." I said as i faced the sea of people who were happily drinking and dancing along with the music, yes that's right.
I'm now a king, and as a king, I bear the responsibility to care for my people. Although I didn't want to become like Karna, who became a king after his friend gave him a small nation, destiny seems to be guiding me towards a similar path as him, I am now, AngaRaj Karna.
We spent that night together, gazing at the stars and occasionally at our people. When the morning came, we first took a bath and then changed our clothing to kingly robes before proceeding to the throne room.
Two golden thrones were arranged for us, with masterfully intricate patterns on their hand rests. The thrones could be described as "graceful."
Sitting on the throne, I was surprised when I saw the entire kingdom from a bird's eye view. Quickly shaking off the shock, I turned to Shizue, who was also staring at me with surprise.
We noticed the golden patterns on our thrones emitting a green glow, and we could see the entire kingdom and its surroundings in our minds.
Before we could even utter a word, there was a knock on the door to our throne room, and the guards announced Tetris's visit.
Gesturing to the guards, I granted my advisor entry, and Tetris entered with a smile. She walked gracefully and bowed slightly as she addressed us.
"My king, my queen, you must be confused about the throne," she began to explain.
"The twin throne was specially made to be useful for the king and queen to view and oversee the entire kingdom without needing to be physically present. It also provides a live view, enhanced by a great sorceress of our kingdom," she said, smiling once again. She walked forward and took her place as the advisor on the side seat prepared for her.
"So, who is this sorceress? We would like to meet her if possible," Shizue said, voicing what I was thinking aloud. I nodded along with her, considering the possibility of appointing her as our royal Sorceress if we find her trustworthy.
I've already asked Hinata about joining us and becoming the royal head of the knights in the army, and she readily agreed with me. Now, she's training some new kids who recently joined the army.
That's right, Hinata decided not to go see the world but to stay with us, and that made Shizue happy. I couldn't say that I'm unhappy, but I wanted her to experience the world for herself.
"She's currently out of the kingdom on a spying mission. The western nations surrounding us might become a threat, which is why she's setting up more of her "surveillance lacrima," as she called it, in some nations. I shall summon her to the palace to see your majesty right away when she returns."
'Lacrima? Isn't that the magic thingies in some anime? So does that mean she's from our world and was summoned here?' While I was deep in thought, Shizue confirmed the summoning of the sorceress and looked at me questioningly.
Turning around to meet her eyes, I projected my memories through our "Soul bond." This was the first time she saw the future of her previous world, and she was awed by the sights and futuristic technologies.
After being awed for a while, she nodded to me as she was also suspicious about the same thing I was thinking. 'I also think she's an otherworlder. After seeing your memories, this might also be good for us and our kingdom.'
'Hm, let's see if she's good or not in the future, but for now, we have to write the letters for our neighbors.' I communicated with her as I sighed. 'This is too much work. I was never good at writing letters and giving speeches.'
'Well, let's do it. From now on, we will have to handle a lot more tasks than we used to.' Shizue said with a sigh as she asked one of the maids to bring a royal stamp. We will use this stamp to imprint our symbol, a flaming sun, onto the letter.
It will also announce our Ascension to the rulers of the newly established Kingdom of Anga, with Hero King AngaRaj Karna as its king, and his wife, Heroine Shizue Izawa, as its queen.
"Let's make it clear that we will no longer tolerate harassment." I smiled with satisfaction.
"Hm, let's do just that"

So, my phone has been repaired, and I'm back to writing. However, this time, I will take my time to progress the plot, and I will be updating somewhat slowly. So, once again, bear with me and let me know how you find this chapter.
Sorry for the short chapter too, just didn't get enough words to write the progression.
Also, if you enjoy the story, please show your support by dropping some power stones and leaving reviews.
God bless you, and good luck.
