The Kingdom The Power And The Glory Book Review 소설 & 이야기

He continues. My hand, floating on the water as my tears dripped into the river. I never meant any harm and yet, still I stay at the bottom of the royal chain of respect, I've showed nothing but love since I came here, but in the end I guess it doesn't matter anymore. Senya pulled my wrist from the water and turned me around. He watched as the tears fled down my cheeks. "I was proud to call you my kingdom, one that doesn't judge simply for abilities, but judge the characters and kindness, which you've all proven to me otherwise." Silence followed his words as the people said nothing and their eyes on the grass in front of him.

He couldn't believe that the Luminous Kingdom had been defeated at the hands of the enemies. Indeed, Luminous was a powerful kingdom. The king had the power that can compare to the gods and their daughter was the goddess herself, added the queen who was powerful enough to kill a god herself. It's not just. Even without this powerful king, Queen and princess, there's one more person who can defend the kingdom alone. And that's no other than the young man standing not far from him where his eyes are fixed.

I turned to my right and saw a tall figure sitting comfortably on the sofa and reading a book, as my eyes slowly moved to his face, the realization hit me hard. It was him! He's the king? I kept staring at him as he didn't acknowledge my presence yet. I swallowed hard as my eyes ran down to his body and the way he was sitting and reading the book. The aura around him screamed dominance and some kind of power which makes every single person standing near him bend their heads and bow down to him, I could sense the extremely dangerous power oozing out of him. Whoever stood in front of him has to show submission. Jesus! This guy exudes superiority and dominance, how should I convince him?

Nathan Swivels on his heels, beginning the long journey to the doors. "You forget who I am, old man," He growls, anger lacing his words. Nathan halts but doesn't bother to turn around. Calmly he says, his eyes still trained on the doors, "God made you King, David. And like Saul, he can take away your crown. No one is above the law."

He turns to me with a loving smile, a smile I haven't seen him give anyone else. "The kingdom has been without a queen for some years. After my father died, my brother took over the kingdom. Of course, I allowed him too." The people laughed, then he becomes serious once again. "He betrayed me, he rots in the kingdom's dungeons." "The point I'm trying to get to is that a queen is the glue that holds the kingdom together. I've been a stern ruler. Yet somehow, Kathleen has melted my heart. With her, I'm sure that the kingdom will only flourish." He says with pride in his voice. Levi lifts his cup, so does everyone else.

That book held words written by the King of Kings himself. No one could look upon the King of Kings true writings. It was too powerful for the naked eyes to read. They weren’t even allowed to look upon their fathers words. It was said that the King of Kings, only gave one soul the ability to read his writings. It was said to be a very old druid woman, that they didn’t know anything about. They didn’t know who or where this woman was because the King of Kings protected her. They often wondered if it was either the virgin Mary or Mary Magdalene, but those were just guesses. They had no way of truly knowing unless their father wanted them to know.

“You should’ve died in the chaotic search for Neil in the library! What’s so good about a moronic wench like you? Huh? Just because you saved him? Why does that matter?!” “H-How do you know about that?” she asked in a feeble voice. Clara pressed her foot on Keanna’s head. “That man is mine! I knew from the start he was going to be the King.” “Auuugh…” “What about a person like you? You, who’s gullible beyond belief!” Stomp! “You don’t even know your place, haha! Do you know what’s going to happen to you?” Stomp! “This dirt floor is where you belong.”

See the land for myself and get to know more about Aurelia and the late queen. After I left Edric I called for two of my men to accompany me whilst we took a walk around the land. It was larger than other kingdoms I’ll give him that. He had acres and acres as far as the eye could see, but most of it was destitute, miles of grass and clear areas looking like swamps, no crops were planted, no horses grazing, or even any sheep for wool. It baffled me the way it was all just wasted. How the fuck did he mange to supply for his people and his home? I pondered to myself as I took in the ugly sight before me, the man had more pride in his own rooms than he did with his own land. Who the fuck passed

I guess I'm indeed queen. I walk upstairs quickly and enter the book-filled room, then walk towards the shelf Jana showed us the other time. Like before, it's arranged neatly with so many books and, surprisingly, OUR KINGDOM'S TALE, the book I just returned, is sitting in the spot it was before. How did she do that?! Wow, I wonder what other powers the commoners possess. I want to know more about the people and their powers and not just the royals but everyone, including myself.

This would throw me ten steps back, after I've made such good progress this week, with my purposeful touches of him in innocent moments, to the lingering stares. "Oh...No, I've been told I look like her, but no, I'm not her," I scramble. I hope it's enough for her to brush off. Usually I'm seen by the public wearing royal garments, and now, my hair is pulled back and I'm wearing gear Marek provided. "Right, sorry." The girl shakes her head, flushing with embarrassment. "I'm so jealous of her, aren't you?" I flinch. "Jealous?" She leans forward over the counter, grinning. "Married to a King. And so the hottest King in all the land, aside from Tyrien, obviously."
