LEGENDS: Unleashing (Season, #2) ✔️

Threats

They've reached the throne room and Van was already there together with the other Monarchs. The sovereigns were complete, their parents or the high echelons were there, the Grands were there and the leaders of the other countries and kingdoms were present; Adastreia, Ramnousia, Asardovia, Agraemeth and Edeatha.

Those lands were ruled by one clan, the Magnate—Caesar and they've been a dynasty. Adastriea, Eufrata, and Ramnousia are ruled by Caesars while Asardovia, Agraemeth and Edeatha are ruled by Magnates. So the Magnates and Caesars are really powerful, and their combination makes them the most powerful clan in Beryllus.

They immediately sat on their chairs with Prince Van. Commotion is already happening and the ambiance is totally not fine. Something strange is happening, is there a threat again?

"Madami na naman ang nagtatangkang nakawin ang mga batong hiyas?" The Grande dame of Eufrata enunciated. "What the heck. Have they had not enough of the war happened thirteen years ago already? To be honest, I'm getting sick of these wars. We need an Emperor or Empress at the Castle Beryllus. Kailangan nating maunahan ang Abyss sa pagkuha ng trono sa Imperyo."

"You need to calm down, Grande dame." Queen Beryl said. "Leave this to us."

The Grande dame pat the Queen with deep consoles. "Beryl, I don't want you to..."

"I will not put myself in danger again, Grande dame."

The Queen. She had been through a lot. She lost her new born during the war as well as her grand mother, Echelon Salome Ferrero. How could she be still standing fine now? Yet, despite the smiles and brave acts, she looks so broken. Sino'ng hindi mawawasak kung naipagtanggol mo ang Imperyo ngunit hindi ang iyong anak? The Queen looks so lost despite her fine figures. She's still grieving for her loss, she saved the Empire but she lost her daughter.

"I will not let her put herself in danger again. She won't stood for the empire alone. I'll be with her." King Zavan stood up and spoke.

Now, this is really getting heavy.

Queen Beryl opposed her husband, "No, you need to protect Eufrata. Leave the Empire to me."

"For what? For you to sacrifice again? No!"

Sumingit na ang Grande dame, "This is why we need an emperor. We can choose from the Magnates, or Caesars!"

"No we can't. The other kingdoms and clans from different continents wants the throne too. Kailangan natin itong pag-usapan ng maayos. And besides, no one has ever mastered the Sagacious Sevenline. It's the requirement to get the throne." King Zavan said.

"Then we need to train the next sovereigns hard. They need to acquire the Sagacious Sevenline, especially Giovanni. He'll be our candidate for the throne."

King Zavan gave the Grande dame a pleading look, "Mom, give him time. Let's not pressure the Kids."

"Kung tinanggap mo lang sana ang trono noon may Emperor na tayo, Zavan!" Umalingawngaw ang sigaw nito sa throne room.

"Mom...!" Pigil ng Hari sa ina nito.

Sumingit na ang Reyna upang maputol ang namumuong tensyon, "Hindi lang ang batong hiyas ng Eufrata ang balak nakawin ng Abyss ngayon. The elemental stone from Alemanya is in grave danger too. The triumvirate stone, the hydor stone, and the sword stone are still safe. Hence, the Abyss is moving, we need to protect all the stones even those in safe places." The Queen's brave voice faltered and soon she began to broke, "Hindi na pwedeng maulit ang nakaraan. Tama na, kailangan na nating magtagumpay ngayon."

"My Queen, you need to calm down. Come," The King immediately hugged the Queen, "Let me speak."

And the King began to announce, his authoritative voice made everyone halt and everyone knows how his sharp sword words matter that moment; "Sovereigns, you were gathered here for an important matter. King Zandrus of Alemanya sent us a letter. They're receiving threats. Some demons were caught sneaking into the Dragon Castle. This is a warning, soon, the Main Abyss will attack us too since they're after the Precious Stones. We need to keep our guards high, and you'll be having a hard and dangerous training from this day on. A very serious and heavy training."

Without faltering, the next generation voiced, "Yes, my King!"

"Train how to acquire the Sagacious Sevenline. I want to see improvements for the coming years. You'll be sent across Beryllus for missions, but that will happen when the youngest of you turns 18. For now, you'll focus on protecting the Kingdom and the stones."

"Yes, my King!"

And with a satisfied yet heavy sigh, the King smiled as he spoke; "You are now adjourned."

Everything is getting serious. Will the history repeat itself again? No, hindi na iyon pwedeng maulit. Handa na ang lahat ngayon, buhay na ang mga batang pinrotektahan nila noon. At wala ng bata o buhay pa ang pwedeng mawala. One is enough. And for the empire, there must be an Empress or Emperor in the Castle Beryllus to unite everyone, and that ruler must have the purest heart.
