Chapter 68 What Was Going On? - Part 2

n

n

nThe royal announcer opened the letter and reread it again... he then looked at King Carmelo and was lost for words.

nThe people were also wondering what was so shocking about the message.

nThe royal announcer cleared his throat loudly.

nWasn't their king being too daring right now? Although he approved of what was written down, it didn't change the fact that it was still ground breaking.

nWas their king trying to give him a heart attack?

nThe hearts of the citizens started beating loudly, as they waited for the results anxiously.

n'Mr announcer, can you hurry up? Do you want to kill us with anxiety?'

nThe announcer took in a big gulp of air and exhaled loudly.

nIt was better to get it over with.

n

"From today onwards, King Carmelo has willing stepped down the throne as the ruler of Carona.

nWithin these years, he has enjoyed fulfilling his numerous duties as ruler of Carona, as well as spending time with his people.

nBecause he was close to you all, he has decided to leave the best parting gift as a former ruler of Carona.

nHe decided to leave the empire with someone whom you all can wholeheartedly rely on.

nBut don't worry, just as King Adrian, he too will look over the ruling party as a counselor for the empire.

nAlthough he has left the throne, he will still he here as you all move towards the future.

nToday, we are all here to welcome a new king to the empire.

nFrom today onwards, Pincess Penelope will be the next ruler of Carona!!

nThe coronation day will be scheduled on the 5th of July.

nThis is the final Verdict of King Carmelo!!

"

nEveryone was stunned.

nDid they just here correctly? Princess Penelope? Hahahha... She was the most perfect one to take on the job.

nVery quickly the citizens all cheered.

nUnlike her brothers, she was very kind, smart and knew how to make wise decisions.

nShe had also proven herself time and time again within the empire.

nAt the age of 7, the first time that she saw her brother train with the sword, she would sneak out and hide in the pushes to listen to his trainers.

nAt night, she would then sneak back out of her courtyard with a stolen sword in her hand, as she made her way to the practice field.

nFor over a month, no one noticed her movements.

nBut one day, her grandfather, king Adrian noticed her sneaking away and followed.

nAt first he was fuming mad at the fact that she wanted to learn sword fighting.

nHow could a woman have the aptitude for battle?

nWhen he was about to stop her, she perfectly executed a move that would take a regular page atleast 6 months to learn.

nHis eyes lit up.

nShe clearly had talent for the sword.

nFrom then on, he began observing her quietly every night.

nAfter a while, her father king Carmelo and her uncle Duke Samuel, discovered it as well.

nThe 3 men started sneaking about at night to observe her movements... they were all utterly stunned by her quick reflexes, and aptitude.

nThen 4 months later, they saw her sneaking into the royal library, where she would read a ton of books on different subjects.

nThey looked at her and decided that they would assist this little cute bunny.

nOnce she was found out, she didn't even flinch under her father, grandfather and uncles aura's.

nThey had realised their terrifying aura's when questioning her because they wanted to see what she would do.

nShe stood there, steady as the water and smiled at them.

nThe reason why she wasnt afraid was because, to her, they were her family. She had spent enough time with them, for her to believe that they would hurt her.

nTheir powerful auras in her eyes were the same as how the 3 musketeers kept disturbing Landon.

nShe found it extremely cute.

n

n

nBut what she didn't know was that, these cute auras had made a lot of people wet the pants before. These men were war veterans for heaven's sake.

nShe was just a curious child and didn't understand why women couldn't do certain things.

nThey had told her that she couldn't wield a sword, but didn't she successfully do it?... Doesn't that mean that everyone was lying to her?

nShe really didn't get what the big deal was.

nShe hated doing needle work and all those other things, so what she was doing right now, was trying to find things that she loved doing.

nShe had also seen her father read a book, so she thought that maybe reading was also fun. Hence she started making her way towards the royal library at night.

nWhen she took the first manual on war tactics, she was intrigued and completely lost herself in it.

nReading seemed to be something that she liked as well. Plus she also realised that she could remember and understand things a little better than others.

nOnce Carmelo and the rest understood her reasoning, they realised that this child of theirs was a gifted one.

nFrom them on, she became the only woman accepted as a knight page, as well as the only one who would go on missions and aid the poor.

nMaybe it was because she was a woman, but most people noticed that she would give it her all to help those in need.

nShe never did anything half heartedly. If she said she would do it, she would either do it perfectly, or die trying.

nShe also helped in state affairs and aided her father, uncle and grandfather whenever she could.

nTo them, her ideas were genius.

nAt the age of 14, she was already going on missions with her father to fight pirates and bandits that came to Carona.

nNo one wanted her to go, but this little woman snuck into the supply wagon, and when they were already 6 hours away from the Capital, they finally discovered her.

nOr rather, she revealed herself. She was pressed and wanted to relief herself, so she popped out of the wagon and shocked everyone silly.

nPrincess, can you not do this? Do you think that we are here for fun? The knights all thought.

nEveryone took her as their little sister, so they were worried for the little bunny.

nEven after her father reprimanded her, she still didn't know what she did wrong.

nAs a knight wasn't it her duty to fight for Carona?

nIt was then and there that Carmelo and the others realised that although the princess was the smartest person they knew, she was really dense in personal relationships.

nAt this point in time, she was already daddy's girl, so could he not panic after finding out that she had come over on his mission.

nBut what surprised him was that when they were on their way to save a village from bandits, the little princess came up with a clever plan, which was even better than his original one.

nShe also fought bravely and rescued 2 of his knights from the bandits.

nWhen they got back to the capital, grandpa Adrian and Samuel who had been looking for her for over 2 months, became excited.

nHer mother queen Megara, who was on the verge of collapse came back to life and cried while hugging her.

nWhy was mummy crying? Did someone bully her mother while she was away? She didn't get it as well.

nWithout even knowing it, these everyone, including the knights, had taken her as their precious treasures.

nThey all reprimanded her, but it was no use. Nothing got into that head of hers.

nWhen they heard of her bravery, they hosted a feast in her honor as the savior of the village.

nThe little princess thought it was bothersome.

nAll she wanted to do was sleep and train. What was the point if this?

nAfter that, she had been unexpectedly groomed for the position of King... Or should we say Queen.

nOf course at that time, none of the men thought that they were grooming her for that position. They just thought that since their little bunny was good at all these things, she should do them.

nSo what if she was a woman?

nWhat was wrong with that?
