10: Coronation

Anthony POV

Its been more than 30 minutes since I arrived at the palace of kingdom of eternity and every maidens in this palace where moving in to and fro movement trying to prepare necessary things for my coronation.

I was now out of my room heading to my father's study room. I opened the door and stepped in closing it behind me. My father sighted me with an annoyed expression and I smirked.

The more I smirked the more annoyed he gets and holy heavens I love his reaction.

"Next time, knock before entering". My father stated with annoyance.

"That isn't necessary".

"You keep on getting more arrogant and nonchalant as the day pass by".

"That's my characteristics father". I answered now sitting on the chair facing his table filled with documents and files of the kingdom as a whole.

"Your action yesterday was indeterminate and disappointing, to I your father and the respective chiefs". Father said expressing his annoyance.

"I'm only uncertain if it's profitable to me and disappointing you all was sure profitable to me".

I replied monotonously and my dearest father was boiling in anger. He took a breath and replied.

"Son just return to your room, prepare for your coronation and read the chronicles of this kingdom, a lot have happened since you left 2 years ago".

I stared at him smugly then replied.

"Father I've done that a long time and revised on it".

"Seriously". Father asked skeptically with a bright smile

"Stop such doubts about me".

"Indeed I'm proud of you even though you're the most annoying being on earth". He replied proudly.

"That's your son".
"To clear your doubt about my action taken yesterday. I was preparing to return home, when kingdom of simplicity arranged assassins to attack me on the way home. Luckily for me I was able to notice this and restrain".

I defended myself.

"Why didn't you send a message to us immediately".

Father asked shocked by my news.

I shook my head negative and replied.

"If I did, my messenger would be killed and all their hopes would be, I'll definitely come by. So during the sunset my guards spread sleeping gas around their arena and boom we assassinated them all this early morning".

Father laughed out joyously being pleased with what he heard.

"Brilliant son, very brilliant. You've grown wings already".

"And those wings will take flight". I replied proudly.

"Go rest my son, in some hours time your coronation will start".

I nodded my head, stood up from the chair and left his study room heading to my own room.

I'm here now, once I'm being crowned king, every single thing will all change.

And when I mean change I mean for good. Everyone in this kingdom will strive to live, especially the royal maids in this palace, I'll make them suffer.

Why? You would ask.

This women have brought kings down, they have destroyed royal homes and caused a lot of troubles for the royal kingdom at large and they all deserve to suffer and experiences better sense of life and I'll definitely be the cause. All royal maids are same, they are all home breakers.

I finally got to my room, took a bath, revised for the necessary questions that would be asked and there came a knock on my door.

"Yes".

I answered as the door opened and to my view was Mrs. Margret. A woman who is now part of the royal family, a woman my parents trust in, a woman that's like a second mother to me and my junior brother.

"Welcome my king". She greeted honorably.

"Dear Mrs. Margret, I'm not king yet, why address me in a such way?" I asked and immediately hugged her.

"But you'll be crowned a king in few minutes".

She replied showing me my royal wear and all I did was smile at her.

"I warrant you to get dress now, the ceremony will start in 3 minutes, my dear".

She reminded and I nodded my head in agreement as she left my room.

I got dressed up in my royal wears as a maid came to dress my hair and clean my shoes. As she did her duties, she kept smiling and blushing which never caught my attention, she's a foolish woman.

I stepped out of my room heading to the royal garden were the ceremony would hold. And it was definitely beautiful, it seems after my leave everywhere grew for the good but It's not good enough for me.

Seeing all the nobles and peasants gather together was a large crowd I wasn't expecting, all this people either have good or bad intension towards my coronation and I don't give a fuck about it.

I looked at the left to see the thrown in front of the guest standing on a high pitch facing the crowd. I walked up to it to see the high chief representative standing in front of the throne as he await me.

"Here arrives our future king of this kingdom". The chief representative said with a smile on his face as every one applauded.

"It's a blessing that you're here my highness". He said once again.

"Get on with it".

"What are your plans for this kingdom?"

"To make it a better and developed nation".

"How are you going to achieve this?".

"By wiping out negative influence in a twinkle of an eye, there won't be lazy youth in this kingdom and every individual will walk for their wealth. I'll make sure this kingdom have the best resources that can be traded with other countries, we will be well known as an independent and civilized kingdom and a lot of vision I have for this kingdom".

"Beautiful". He replied and everyone applauded.

Dear old man you've got no idea of what is in my mind and it isn't exactly what comes out from my mouth.

"For we've heard your devotion and prosperity for this kingdom called eternity, I wear you the robe of protection and good will for your people". The chief representative said as the people applauded.

"I wear you the necklace of strength".

They all applauded.

"Lastly , I wear you the crown of wisdom, knowledge and dominion over your kingdom".

They applauded once more.

"And now you're the king of this kingdom, you're now King Anthony".

He lastly said, I facing my people as the applauses got louder than ever and fireworks been thrown into the air.

I proudly sat on my thrown as I glanced at all my people who gathered to celebrate such a wonderful event.

My parents and my little brother including Mrs. Margret walked towards me and bowed in front of me, it was something I wasn't expecting.

"Long live the king".

Kiran my little brother shouted joyously as every one bowed and chorused.

"Long live the king".

Kiran smiled at me as I returned it warmly. He's such a sweet kind of fellow.

"Your excellency, we would love to show you a display practiced by the royal maidens of this kingdom".

The senior guards spoke as the so called royal maids lined themselves in a dancing form.

I looked at them carefully to see they were 11 in number, why is it So?
They are meant to be 10 not 11.

The music started and I noticed one of the royal maid who had a scarf on her head, dancing in front of the line.

She had a good height for a young woman, slim in shape and have a very nice hips which was visible with the kind of cloth she wore, she wore the shortest cloth among the rest of the maids.

The way she dances could easily catch a man's attention, the way she sways and danced with her hips was one of the most interesting thing about her. Her short dress bounced up and down while she dances exposing little part of her under ware, was something a man wouldn't want to get his eyes off.

I looked at her face closely, to see that she wasn't comfortable with what she wore and the way she dances, every single seconds she would replace an unpleasant expression with a fake smile. Why is she doing so? Every woman would be happy to catch my attention but she seemed different.

In minutes I got to realize I was staring at her for too long, no matter what the women displayed in front of me all royal maids with suffer in my hands.

I looked behehehind the line to see another maid with orange hair who was trying to get my attention, she's just wasting her time. I saw myself placing my attention on the girl with a scarf on her head, there was no denial that she was eye catching.

They all finished dancing and the crowd applauded.

The Royal maids stood there breathing fast after their dance when a maid from the royal kitchen came out and rushed over to the royal maid I kept my eyes on, she whispered into her ears and realization hit her as she followed the maid into the kitchen.

Royal maidens get ready, for all your troubles awaits you.
