King of the Fireweilders

Chapter 8: Some Kind of King

I feel so powerful, I have never done something like that in my life! I had no idea the power I possess. This is great!

Mercer stands up and looks at all the people who are standing around us. The whole village has to be here.

"Everyone! This here is Eben Teivia! We all know the legends of the Fireweilders. Well, it has been a thousand years since the last Fire King, so here is the new King of the Firewielders! Let us all bend the knee and swear our fealty to the new Rightful King of Panaria!"

And just like that, everyone cheered for me. Mercer turned to me and knelt down on one knee. Everyone else in the crowed followed, including Delli and her team. Everyone thinks I am some kind of king. Maybe I will just have to accept it.

------------------

A couple months have passed. I have made some decisions here and there. Where to place armies, who to fight, how to fight (still learning by the way). Fighting is quite difficult but Delli is a good teacher. She left her team and became my personal combat trainer. Over the past few months, we have gotten rather close. Not only did we train together but we talked and had fun together. When your "Rightful King of All the Lands", you don't get much time to have fun, but Delli and I make it work. She is really beautiful and powerful too. In combat training, she literally beat me to a pulp. I have been told by quite a few nobles that if I want to move up and be more respected as a king, I should get married. Then, they'd offer my one of their daughters for me to marry but I always turn them down. I almost wanna ask Delli to marry me so others would stop asking me but there is no way she'd agree to something like that.

But I digress, there is a lot more things to worry about then marriage right now. Soon, I am planning on attacking Highcastle. I have already made allies with the Herald of the Northern Lands who said he'd give me five thousand extra soldiers for some gold. Which means I now have fifteen thousand soldiers in my armies. I should be able to make the assault soon. Now all I need is a plan.
