While the Caledon city got such huge changes in the capital the King had a visit from the unexpected side. Thousands of people suddenly appeared in front of capital holding boxes, pelts, and many other different presents.
But that was not the strongest, they stood still... waiting for something. Suddenly from the sky descended five dragons. On their back sat five people in amazing outfit.
When the dragons flew down the whole city became panicky. But the King used thunderous voice and yelled; "SILENCE !!!"
She saw that they didn't have any aggressive motions so she let the city people can down.
One of the nobles started protesting. " Your Highness, how can we let this happen? We need to attack now!"
She turned to him and gave him what she calls now 'Kendra's smile'."Sooooo, you want to attack... Good, you go and attack, this is royal order. But if anyone helps you I will personally incarnate those people family. Do you think I will not? Now go, I will even give you my sword... "
She took the sword out of his hilt and put in his arms. Then she held him like a baby and jumped down the wall. The flabbergasted man didn't even know what happened as he stood there with a humongous sword that he couldn't even drag from the floor.
People on dragons saw the King winking at them and knew that she wanted to teach this person a lesson. They jumped off and at that moment the dragons turned into humans as well.
One of them was a youth with green eyes and long brown hair. He stood there and sighed while turning around and looking at the young woman behind him. "Lais, it seems we made the right decision to come. I would have never taught that humans could be this playful."
Lais lazily stretched and then chuckled. "This is nothing, you have to meet Kendra. I think you will enjoy arguing with her about all possible and impossible things. She is most important now. These people we need to visit only because off what they say obligations to the country or whatever."
She traveled the country and understood the costumes. If they went straight to Caledon city the King might have taught that Lord Cassian is conspiring with them. She didn't want to make them troubled. She explained everything to the demon elders and they understood.
But the youth squinted his eyes and just appeared in front of the shaking man. "So, this is welcome? What do you plan doing with that? Is this present for me?" He shot the questions quickly at the man and walked around making him be even dizzier.
The noble already was terrified and he suddenly fell down...fainted.
The youth looked at the King and shrugged. " I didn't even touch him, are all the humans this weak?"
The King came slowly and nudged the noble with her foot and sighed. " Unfortunately most of them...yes. That is the reason for that stupid war we fought against your people." Then she scowled, " I heard you didn't even take us seriously?"
He nodded and started laughing. "Actually we taught you sent your people against ours to test or grow your powers through the fights. But after we send a few of our people to your country and found out you really taught about that to be aggression from our side, we stopped. So calling war was never really a war, and we really have no intention attacking you. If we wanted we needed just one day and all humans would disappear. But that is not what my people want."
They spoke loud enough that the whole city heard. The silence that the King induced amplified the voice filled with energy and every person in the city could hear what they spoke. They were stunned and terrified.
Then the King spoke again loudly. " You gave us the land when our ancestors came and we lived peacefully for so long. I will find out who made us into enemies and incarnate them into nothingness. "
The youth looked at her and nodded with a bright smile. "Good, we shall help you. If you want of course. "
But the King shook her head. "I can do it alone. I need to be 100% sure that the people punished are real reasons or just puppets of someone more dangerous."
In the city, many people started shaking. It seems their plans..."
She turned around and signaled to open the gate. She bowed slightly and invited them to enter the city. The youth bowed fully and waited for her to walk together.
The King and the youth passed the streets filled with people. The silence stopped and suddenly people started murmuring. "It seems it was all misunderstanding." Said one woman and everyone looked at the people that entered their city with smiles.
If there is no war then there will be again prosperity and peace. Suddenly a bunch of nobles stood in mid of road defiantly. One old man walked in front of the King and raised his voice.
"How can you do that? They killed so many if our people. I protest against them entering the city. I definitely won't live in the same place where they live as well," he started cursing and pointing at Kings' face.
She first listened but as more, he spoke brighter her smile became. " So...Good, let's gather all the nobles now. If that is your all decision I will think of the solution." Then she turned to the youth and smilingly nudged him."Wanna see how ridiculous humans can be and how we handle such situations? "
He nodded. The soldiers that guarded the King pushed apart the nobles and they passed them all.
The old man harrumphed and tried to walk beside the King but the guards didn't let him get even close so he had to wait with rest of the nobles to follow. He was furious and at the same time happy.
This is the chance for new changes. He smirked. 'Today new era will start" he mumbled and followed with others while holding his head high.
At the palace stood hundreds of people with a solemn expression. The King just gave them a bright smile and used her power to make a big fireball. Suddenly it disappeared.
She smiled and nodded at the youth that didn't know what is going on. They walked the steps up followed by the five dragons and the other four demons.
The youth let other demons stand outside and wait and entered the big reception hall in the palace. He looked around and saw that actually, the palace hall was a bit plain.
On floor hard stone on walls few weapons, that's it. He looked at the throne and saw just a simple wood chair. He looked at the King surprised.
She saw his actions and smiled. "You wonder about the simplicity of our big hall. To tell the truth, this hall didn't change since the palace was built thousands of years ago."
'But his is it then in good condition? " they had great hall as well but it was filled with a kind of treasures.
"The first king, my ancestor, made this hall simple for a reason. To be close to all the people. This is where I will invite anyone who has a problem. I just came back from that foolish " war" and realized that I have so much to do. You all are invited to see the disgrace of humans. Please sit down. Chairs!"
The guards brought chairs for everyone and they sat next to her. In mid was her chair and on each side was five people. On one side were demons and other side were dragons.
She signaled to let them all in.
Soon the hall was filled to the brim and she calmly said "Quiet". Talks became lesser and lesser and then stopped after a few moments.
The King looked at them calmly." Speak now. I give you permission. "
The old noble passed every one with his head high and stopped not even a step further from the King. She raised her eyebrow at such rudeness and chuckled.''You seem to become quite old or do I have to teach you proper behavior?''
He was stunned and understood that he stepped over border and went back twenty steps away from her and in proper behavior bowed deeply .''May your Highness listen to my words. Havings strangers sitting on same positions as her Highness is unseen before.''
''My throne, my country, my rules. It seems you don't like it at all. I already heard that north of country plans to become own state. Your son lives there, right?'' she said while looking at him with a cold smile.
He chuckled and admitted it.''Yes, not only he will take north, he is already in town and will take this place over. It is time for you to give up the throne to someone more competent than you. All this time talking about the rights of pheasants, the superiority of power people...Hah! So what? I am noble and so is my son. We have as much right to become rulers as you do.''
The King nodded and looked at hundreds of nobles behind the old man with a serious expression.''Now final question, how many of you are on his side? The hall is big enough, the old man goes on the left and lets all those that follow you go that way. Those that believe in my ancestor's ways, and believe I can do it, please go right.'' She pointed at the sides letting them have a choice.
The old man turned around and saw more than half nobles joining him, but the strange thing happened. Most old families choose to side with the King. He knit his eyebrows and smirked.''Of course, the first families hold together. So what if you all have ancestors of thousands of years, its time for a change. This King of ours should go down and give new people a chance to rule the country.''
And an even older man in purple outfit stepped towards him and pointed finger at his face.''You are stupid. If they were bad kings would we follow them? This war was unnecessary but at least we know now how strong or in this case how weak we are. Humans live on this continent because of the grace of the demons. You are noble as well. How come you have no idea what will happen if we change the rulers. Did you forget the ancient prophecy, you idiot!''
''Lord Dassil, so many thousands of tears passed. I do not believe in prophecy and neither any of these people,'' he said while he pointed at all the people standing behind him.
Lord Dassil shook his head and pointed at the chairs standing in front of them. ''You fool, what does the prophecy say? The eleven chairs ...THE ELEVEN CHAIRS!!!''
The old noble narrowed his eyes but still shook his head.''Its old belief, I still do not believe.''
Lord Dassil huffed and turned to stand with others that had an equal opinion.
The old man looked at him and snorted as he turned again towards the King, but at that moment something happened behind them all.
He turned around and saw the one he was waiting for...
