The Crown of Death

In the 1700s, specifically 1790, a new crown was being made by the King (Kind Anderous) in honor for his wife who had passed away, rather.. tragically and unexpectedly. 

The new crown was a bit, dull.. dull in color but shone in radiance. It was also said that it was going to be embellished with emeralds, and in the centre would be the Amethyst that the queen wore around her neck, before her death, the color of the crown was going to be black. The citizens were baffled on why the king would want a black crown but, they did not question his decision.

 Finally the day came, on January 31st 1796, when the crown was going to be shown to the public, and also the day when the King's son, Prince Aekar's coronation would begin. 

At 10:30pm all the citizens were in the castle's hall waiting for the crown to be shown, and for the Prince's appearance.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Today is the day when the new crown would be displayed, and it is also the day where you will be welcoming your new King" said the King proudly as all the citizens applauded.

"Now, no need for the more waiting, COUNCILOR! Bring forth the crown for the citizens and thou God to see!"

The crown was bought before them, before their very eyes was the new crown. The King was true to his words. Embellished with emeralds, and indeed there was the Amethyst in the centre of the crown. The gems shone with great radiance, outshining all other light sources in the hall.

"Now, time for the coronation!"

The prince entered the hall, with a black orb and Spector. He was wearing a black robe, with heavy looking purple tints shining as brightly as the amethyst on the crown. 

"May God give you the power and blessings to live long and prosperous, winning every battle and war that comes with time. I hear by declare, the King of Kirandra" said the Pope. As the Pope placed the black crown on the Prince's head, he turned towards the crowd. 

"I King Aekar, your new King promises to keep this empire safe until its very end and help every single man, woman and child to prosper and help them with whatever they need. I will bring peace as your new KING" 

The crowd applauded to his speech, and were in awe to have a warrior as their King who makes them feel safe.

A month had passed after the coronation, King Aekar was true to his words, helping the poor thrive and also helping other villages and small kingdoms. He had several allies from different parts of the world and improved and expanded his empire east and west. One day when he was doing his errands, he started coughing, coughing out blood, everyone was horrified and immediately called the doctor.

"I see nothing wrong. Did he eat something that he wasn't supposed to eat that made him cough out blood?" asked the doctor.

"No doctor, he didn't have anything else than his usual" replied his regent.

"Hmm, here give him this, once in the morning and once in the evening. If this doesn't bring it down, or if it doesn't work at all... I don't know what will.

After about a week the King was doing better. But, at 12:31 at midnight when the King was asleep, he was found dead, looking pale and drained to the core. 

Everyone was devastated at the news.

"How could he die so quick? He was still young"

"True how could God bring such fate to this King?"

As time went on, the crown was being passed to many other people, but each-time someone wore it they died quicker than their predecessors. Nobody could really tell why every new King they had kept dying. But then, one young boy, about the age of 15 spoke out.

"IT'S THE CURSE OF THE AMETHYST! THE CURSE QUEEN LINDA (King Anderous' wife) HAD PUT ON THAT VERY AMETHYST IN THAT CROWN. EACH ONE THAT WEARS THE CROWN WILL DIE AND PERISH IN HELL, EVEN IF THEY HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG."

The guards immediatly took him fro execution, for falsely accusing the predecessor queen.

"IT WILL BE PASSED ON, KILLING EACH ONE, AND THIS EMPIRE WILL NEVER HAVE A KING OR QUEEN-"

His words were cut off as the guillotine came down on his neck and cut his head off. But he was not wrong. All the Kings and Queens that were being coronated died shortly after. The Empire started to decline, and by 1860... It was taken over by the Empire Of Gajda, where King Gajda has something to offer to the people.

Immortality against the Devils.
