“By the power vested in me as Grand King of this court, and in the presence of these witnesses, I hereby declare all Bonds of Human Enslavement broken. From this day forward, you are no longer the property of Urekai but allies. Free people under the protection and respect of this kingdom.”

The court was overflowing. Humans filled every space, trailing from the dais down the carpeted aisle, pouring out the doors, and spilling into the hallway beyond. Every human in Urai was present.

At the front of it all, Emeriel stood tall beside her king, heart brimming with emotion. Her gaze drifted across the sea of faces, landing on her sister. Aekeira was smiling through tears. Just like so many others.

Grand King Daemonikai continued, voice firm but warm. “I have already sent word to the twelve human kingdoms, informing their kings that the humans here are no longer captives, but allies of Urai. From this moment, no harm shall befall you–not by royal decree, nor by custom, nor by whispered prejudice.”

He scanned the crowd. “Any human who wishes to return to their homelands may do so without restriction. Those who wish to stay will not be slaves, but citizens–with full freedom and the rights that come with it. You may work for wages. You may own land. You may build homes and raise families and live among us as equals.”

Tears fell freely now.

He went on, detailing the legal rights, social changes, and protections being enforced. And when he finally paused, the entire chamber erupted.

“Long live the Grand King!”

The cry reverberated like music, rippling from lips to hearts, rising to the high ceiling, until even the stones felt like they vibrated with joy.

The Dragaxlov throne still stood vacant, but Lord Herod was doing very well in his rigorous training. If the people’s prediction held, he would rise to his role within two centuries or less.
