Now in the king's royal suit and wearing the tassel chain pin of Evardin's monarch, Alec stepped into the castle's main hall with Lauren's hand on his arm as the newly hailed King.
"All hail the new King and Queen!"
Everyone in the hall bowed to the new rulers. Although some were doubting the sudden turn of events in the castle, none dared speak about it. Now that the kingdom had hailed a new king, all they could do was support the new monarch. For the high society, it didn't matter what kind of person was sitting on the throne. Gaining the favor of the one ruling the hierarchy was more important for them.
The celebration was attended by the richest and most important people in the kingdom. Even some royalties and nobles from other lands attended. With how Evardin was the center of atrocities these past days and weeks, the other lands were curious about the rise of the new king who wasn't a main descendant of the former ruler, but only a son-in-law.
