Making Of A King Novels & Stories

"And Aris—or Daphne—don't wait for the next summit to show your hand. The world is much more fun when you have the right partner to explore with." I watched him walk away, the night air finally feeling clear. The thieves were in cells, the crown was back on the rightful head, and for the first time in three years, the road ahead wasn't a steep decline with broken brakes. It was wide open.

Always behind, and just behind. “But such place won’t be in your hands forever. Such glory is meant to fade. The respect and privileges would soon be gone the moment you become incompetent or useless. And more often than not, Kings are just mere figureheads...” I knew it. He would just be glorifying whatever position the other females in our family has. “The true power and glory, lies on who has made a mere human a king.” Nepotism? “Their advisers, the one who controls the strings – the Kingmaker.”

“We will begin with a short review of Eldermoon history. Who can tell me when the Kingdom was formed?” Hands shot up everywhere. I didn’t move. A girl in the front answered proudly, “Six years ago, when Alpha King Stephen Magnus united the territories under one rule.” The tutor nodded and asked another question about royal ranks, and yet another about High Lords. They all answered confidently. They were enjoying this. They kept glancing at me like they were waiting for me to embarrass myself. It worked. “Lady Katherine?” the tutor finally asked, “What is the first decree passed by the Alpha King after the formation of the Kingdom?”

“I’m not sure I’m going to cram all over hundred rulers of the past kingdom in a week, damn, even Lukkar doesn’t know this!” “You think?” I could feel her raise a brow. I rolled over to my stomach. “Yeah, I mean, he’s king by blood it’s not like the Beta wolves could hold his crown because of the names of some dead and fallen kings… right?” She finished chewing the last bits of her sandwich, I could see the red mash draw in her mouth before she swallowed. “Practically they can, the Beta board exists to ensure a king is only made a king when ready, and a Queen would be made a Queen when ready as well.”

“Was it from the war?” “No. The king grew up not knowing anything about family because he had no one to start with. Many knew it, but refused to talk about it. Like you, he had a dark and troubled past, Kate. He used to wander in the streets when he was a boy until he was abducted and was taken in a facility along with several other children. He was a product of an experiment led by the first ever Vampire King Davidson Rowell and his former Council in their attempt to create warriors that would protect the royals and the city.”

I did not have time to ask him as he immediately left after seeing that I had been sent out of the room. While all this was happening all Ariel could think about was how to convince the kingmakers that he was the right one to be made king, the late king did not state an heir. In the situation where the late king failed to state an heir before it means demise it meant that the kingmakers would have the decision to screen any available candidate and then make him the king. It seems that only Ariel was interested in this position as he was the only one who started paying visits to all the warlords, governors, and mayors, these persons make up the kingmakers committee.

How would I make Alpha Kael unqualified for the throne? “Elder William, is there any way around the rule? I mean, who made such a stupid rule either way? It's insane.” “The rule was made to keep kings in check. No one would want someone else to take over his throne and it was also to pacify Kael's father. If he could get the Kate King out of the throne for more than ten days, then he would become king and no one will fight it.” That was such a stupid thing to do. Of course, it just had to come back and bite me in the ass now. Just thinking about the whole thing made me sick.

She was feeling down and remembered, "it was Shaun, after all." The king cleared his throat upon hearing her solemn voice. Then, he sipped on the cup only to realize it was delicious, and it was his first time tasting an unusual drink aside from teas and freshly brewed coffee. "What do you call this thing again?" "Coffee float." "I guess it's not that bad. Who made this, by the way?" Aileen looked away and confessed, "I made it." The king got mad and he even placed the cup set on the coffee table. He said, "Where's your dignity as royalty? Why would you lift your finger to do that labor? What exactly is the reason we have four royal chefs?"

There are many people who want to flatter Cyrus, but Cyrus is the type of person that hasn't waited for you to approach. Besides, he was extremely quiet, even Jason explained that he didn't dare to brag in front of him, so Claude followed him quietly. When the models arrived, they realized that they had to shoot not only commercials but also MVs, with the main theme song being "The King", sung by Bridget Elain. The entertainment world is full of cases of "crossing the field", Bridget Elain seems to have the heart to sing. This online game theme song, in other words, is the debut of his singing career. If only he gave up plenty of time to focus on this campaign.

I wondered where she was and if she was watching this on television. Then we had a weekend off, and on the following Monday, it was time for our closing statements. The king took the stand and started to make his own, painting his life in such a manner that even I started feeling sorry for him. He explained the tragic loss of his first wife, the trouble finding a second wife, no heir to follow him until a blood test showed a stranger to be his child, and then nothing but questions about why the late queen would keep something so monumental from him and from all the people of Orlune.
