Tales Of Schaduw: The Half - Elf
Chapter 26: King Achille's Message
“Next please allow his majesty King Laiquendi, King Achille to give his message and trust.” Said Guru Senjati resuming her role as the host.
“Long live the glorious King Achille!”
“Long live the glorious King Laiquendi, King Achille!”
“His glorious life!!” The Laiquendi people spoke in turn, welcoming the king.
King Achillepun stood up from his throne and headed towards the podium. Walked with grace and elegance. Each step reflected a wise king. His smile and the wave of his hands greatly appreciated every Laiquendi people.
“Please your Majesty King Laiquendi, King Achille to climb the podium.” Said Guru Senjati while bowing respectfully.
“Thanks.” Said the gentleman king, what a dream king.
King Achille raised his right hand hinting for all to be silent first. Everyone else was silent, without saying a word. The king smiled, then lowered his hand.
“All my people I love, now is the time for us to improve and improve our system of government. Now and in the future we will join the Kingdom of Dordrecth in order to repair our beloved kingdom, the Kingdom of Laiquendi. Joining us in the central kingdom does not mean we make this kingdom appear weak, but rather it intends to combine our strength. I hope all my people can accept this decision well. So as not to disturb our good relationship with the central government.” King Achille said seriously.
“For that the Kingdom of Laiquendi had sent ten students of this Green Flower Academy to study at one of the outstanding academies in the Kingdom of Dordrecth. We hope that by taking them off, they can become great knights and that later along with other powerful warriors can prevent the destruction of this continent. On behalf of the Kingdom of Laiquendi, I as King Laiquendi, King Achille with great honor and majesty released ten disciples of Green Flower Academy.”
“Congratulations, noble life!!”
“Life the glorious King Achille!!”
“Life Kingdom Laiquendi!!” Suddenly at the end of the king's sentence, making a rowdy full of spirit throughout the hall.
Seeming from afar, without realizing a single tear the king slightly dripped. I knew that the king was still in a state of mourning, but he remained steadfast and continued to try to show his valour before his people. King Achille did not want his people to be weak and continue to fall over misfortune, as the king was supposed to set an example and hide his deep wounds. He has lost his favorite children, August and Berilo, along with his beloved wife, Cleone Acestes.
His first son, August Acestes, bravely fought against Zardock and his younger siblings, preventing Zardock from destroying the capital. But fate says otherwise, August and his third brother died in that battle. Although his father, Achille, had invited him to escape, August refused. Together with the army of seven, he was killed in extremely dire conditions. Her third sister, Berilo Acestes, was also killed when Zardock tried to injure her mother. But unfortunately his mother was also eventually killed at the hands of Zardock.
The incident made King Achille several days absent from leading the Kingdom of Laiquendi, because it was powerless over the departure of his loved ones. Plus, Cleo also never returned to the royal palace to make the entire palace became unbecoming. But with the expertise of the elder Agamemnon in the government, made the Kingdom of Laiquendi rise again and the news did not spread among the public.
It was a battle that cost the Kingdom of Laiquendi dearly. Even if only fighting a Werewolf who is being exposed to a shadow curse can make the loss and misery so deep. What will happen when the forces of darkness «Schaduw Van Duisternis» come to destroy this continent. I have to do my best and train hard so that more lives can be saved. My promise!
