GRAND LORD ZAIPER

In the Grand High Court, Grand Lord Zaiper stood at the center with his immaculate robes, wearing a face of calm and authority. Everyday he tried to reason with them, yet the results were always the same. Today, he came with a different approach.

“It has been over a week since our grand king has been mad-” He glared at Vladya. “-unwell.”

The court stirred with whispers.

“As you all know, over the past few years, His Grace has faced certain… challenges. They made it difficult for him to uphold his duties to this court and to the people. Perhaps it is time we revisit our sacred text, the Concord of Crowns.”

At this, the murmurs grew louder. Uneasy growing.

Lords exchanged uncertain glances.

Lord Henry rose, brows furrowed. “Are you suggesting we place a vote to impeach the current Grand King and allow the Second Ruler to assume the throne?”

“It would be the right thing to do,” Zaiper said, turning to him. “The Concord of Crowns, Chapter Twelve, states an ultimate ruler is always required, as he is the cornerstone of the kingdom.” He paused. “Our kingdom is defenseless against attacks. So much unrest brews at our borders, and yet here we are–leaderless. We need steady hands to guide our people, to rise and stand firm as we have always done. But we have abandoned our sacred laws. It is time to return to them.”

Scattered voices of agreement and dissent rose.

Some nodded gravely. Others frowned harder..

“There will be no need for that, Grand Lord Zaiper.”

That voice of order cut through the court’s clamor like thunder.

Every head turned toward the grand entrance.

Daemonikai stood there.
