Two Kingdoms. Two arch enemies.
Riveryn, the Kingdom of rivers & Asterin, the Kingdom of darkness and cruelty. The years of blood thirst of Revenge that takes place as it washes a wedding in blood rivers.

I walk through the stuffed crowd in the entrance of the palace. Even with my face covered, surprisingly, I wasn't stopped by the guards out of suspicion throughout my whole way to the Asterin's huge throne hall. This is my first time seeing Asterin's throne hall.
Yes, even after living, no, more like confined inside this palace for more than seven months, I'm hardly familiar with this palace.
Asterin's throne hall is made of two colors that stood out the most that is Gold & Black. The huge pillars holding on the roof above the long as well as broad, pathway to the throne that's been kept at the highest position of this entire place. Entire Kingdom.

As I'd expected not many commoners are in attendance here. I look around to find master or Shin or anyone among them.
Searching for a little while I recognized Shin among the crowds. His face isn't covered. He's walking somewhere towards back of the place where the seats for members of court are placed vertically, parallel to each other across the open space in the center.
I try to look for others and caught few of them. None of them had their faces covered. And it seemed like they're just getting in their pre-planned positions. One signal and they're going to attack anytime. There're total of eighty-six of us including me.
My eyes were continuously examining everything inside that room when suddenly the whole room fell into complete silence. I follow all of their gazes to the front and their I saw the man who I'll be stopping today.
Can you fight this battle wearing a blindfold on your eyes?
I think of those words of master from two days back and I believe I'd found it's answer but whether it's correct or incorrect, I'll get to know very very soon.
My emotions are completely calm right now. I was confident with that until the host of the event declares " Please welcome the Crown Prince of Asterin who is going to be the King of Asterin today..! "
My body stiffens, my heartbeats starts exploding and suddenly I don't know how to breath. I kept staring at the floor preventing myself from looking at him. The huge drums kept beating creating loud beats just like my heart. Even without looking at him, I could feel him. His presence.
It surprises me how without even knowing him so well, he feels the most closest & familiar person to me than anyone.
After many minutes, slowly the drums fell quiet and the beginning of the ceremony was declared. I take a deep breath and exhaled back out. And finally looked back up. I avoided looking at him but everyone. The rituals of the Coronation has already started.
I look around looking at Shin & others standing still. Knowing master he'll wait until the Coronation is completed. And I'd guessed that beforehand too.
