Kingdom Corona 소설 & 이야기

"Then what does it fear." "Full royal power," she says. "Not what you have access to now. What the bloodline was originally capable of, before centuries of dilution and decline and one queen who decided the old ways were too dangerous to keep using. The true coronation — not the political crown you just won, but the actual transfer of what the first queens carried." A pause. "It is not safe. It was abandoned because it killed more queens than it empowered. I do not know if your body can survive what it requires."

We walked the rest of the corridor. Below us, the feast was still going — music, voices, the particular energy of five hundred wolves who had been given food and drink and had just watched their Alpha King cry at his Luna's coronation and were processing it the way pack processed things, which was loudly and together. The celebration would go until well past midnight. The kitchen was prepared for it. Kade had planned for it. It would survive without us. I put my hand in Kael's. "Come, my heart," he said.

An endless ocean with no land. A vast consciousness moving through every drop. Then men standing on the first shore, terrified as the water answered their thoughts. “They wanted power without being heard.” The first crown appeared in the child’s hands. “So they cut pieces from the living ocean.” Wolf. Vampire. Serpent. Human. Each kingdom rose around a stolen fragment. “Every royal bloodline is a wound taken from the same being.” Raiken looked at the black marks beneath his skin. Cassian touched the red glow under his crown scar.

"As for you, Lorenzo. You say she isn't 'clean'?" "In my eyes, her soul is ten thousand times more noble than your putrid heart." "For every insult you hurl at her, I will strip you of one of your territories." Lorenzo’s face turned deathly, translucent pale. Greed and terror fought a violent battle in the depths of his eyes. He opened his mouth, but the vile words were choked back by the icy realization of his crumbling empire. Sebastian didn't give him another look. He waved a hand in unfiltered disgust.

The idea that someone had managed to circumvent these measures was both baffling and infuriating. "Your Majesty, if these rumors' claims are true, it could jeopardize the stability of the entire kingdom," Regina warned, her mind racing with the potential consequences. "We must act swiftly to address this matter before it spirals out of control." The king's jaw tightened, his gaze unwavering. "I am aware of the implications," he declared firmly. "Which is why I am handling this with the utmost discretion. We cannot afford to let this situation escalate into a scandal that could threaten the peace and prosperity of our kingdom."

Her crown fell to the marble floor with a clear clang, there seems also to be a clanging sound of someone's sword falling to the ground outside the palace gates. The deep red gem on the crown shattered and scattered. Warm blood down the steps on the cold ground, slowly spreading, reminiscent of the shallow creek she used to play in barefoot as a child. This golden hall of Avalon became her grave, swallowing her bones, burying her life. Outside, the sun shone on the snow, melting it bit by bit…

"Do you know what the differences are between the Koronia royal family and the Emeria royalty?" Apparently, there was a difference between them. Margot was a bit confused and couldn't quite make sense of things. Curtis explained, "In modern terms, there isn't much difference between the two. Both are monarchies and have limited power. For Emeria, the king can pass on the throne and rule the entire nation. However, the royal family of Koronia is different. It has no real power and is merely a symbol of the country." Margot seemed to understand as she nodded slightly.

Hearing James’ reassurance, the Empress was relieved. James stayed in Sangria Palace for the time being, waiting for the Empress’ subordinates to acquire news about Henrik and Qusai. At that moment, a discussion was happening in the main hall of Korinth Palace. The Kingdom of Korinth was the strongest country on Planet Galileo. It was a hegemony, occupying over half of Planet Galileo’s territory. Korinth was rich in resources and possessed the might to uphold their great ambitions. To unify the world, they had to travel south and conquer another major country.

With the request from a noble, naturally, the registration process could speed up. The Razor Kingdom was a place mixed with werewolves and humans. There were a lot of kingdoms like this on this continent. Naturally, since there were werewolves, kingdoms built specifically for vampires and humans to be mixed also existed. Unfortunately, Selena told her that pure kingdoms comprised humans were quite rare, but they existed. The land for those pure human kingdoms were just as small. They were also mostly extremely reclusive, withdrawing themselves from the world. This intrigued Asteria, but she was instantly quite disappointed that Selena said those kinds of kingdoms didn’t receive outsiders.
