Magic in Vana (Cancelled ;-;)

Ceremony

Senza's POV

I didn't feel any pulse. He was dead.
"Why?" I whispered.
Yuu started hysterically laughing again.
"Oh, your father was a great man."
He walked off to my fathers desk. Lifting up a rather to torn-looking book, he tossed it to me.
"What's this?"
"His journal."
Opening the leathery textured book cover, I saw a entry that looked messily written- how my father always wrote.

          Today, we went to the trial for Curt Zchenger. It was perfect. Like planned, he lost. But I wanted him to feel more pain, so I killed my wife, and successfully framed him for it. I do not regret it at all. But lying to Senza is what I have to do next. Perhaps I'll frame her too... That'll give me the throne for quite a bit. Then I'll kill off all of my rivals to the throne. I'll be the king forever.

I threw the book aside.
"Stop lying."
"If I was lying, would I not just be lying to myself? I have been planning this for years now, Senza."
He's lying. He wrote that. Father would never do something like that.
"But... Now that you've seen, my little darling, I suppose you'll have to die too."
My eyes flew up to his hand, grabbing his sword out.
"I thought that I could've kept you safe. Guess not anymore."
My body was frozen. Fuck, why can't I move?! He got closer, his sword just inches away from me. Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Master Yuu? Are you in there? How did the plan go?"
Yuu moved the sword away from my face, and back in the sheath at his side.
"Come in, Agittera."
The door opened, and there was the man who I had seen in the hallway earlier.
"Oh? What do we have here?"
"I'll let her go for now. But-"
Yuu shot a evil look at me.
"If she dare tell a soul of what she saw, she knows what'll happen, along side her precious Koha."
"Tch. What a waste of words, Your Majesty. Why not just kill her now?"
"Haha, do you not understand what it means to be sabotaged someone?"
"My bad, my bad."
There was a long silence. Wait. Your Majesty?
"Hey... What do you mean by Your Majesty?"
Agittera smiled.
"Master Yuu is getting crowned tomorrow. Panic is going to consume this kingdom, and Yuu is going to be the hero who will get crowned and save it."
Yuu walked up to me, smiling.
"Goodnight, my little princess."
The last thing I felt a shock of pain running through my neck.

"Ncess... Princess!"
My eyes fluttered open.
"Huh...?"
"Oh, thank the Lord you have awoken."
I stared back at what looked like my doctor.
"Let me inform everyone."
Everyone? Who's everyone? Why not tell Father---
The event that happened last night clicked in my brain. No, was he really dead?
Hearing lots of voices outside, I decided to see for myself. My breathing got heavy, and the pace of my heart quickened. I held the doors handle, opening it swiftly.
The commotion immediately stopped.
I took a deep breath, and pushed through the crowd of people without another word, heading towards my Father's room. He's not dead. This is just a really good prank. I can't wait for them to start laughing, saying I fell for it so badly. Right?
As I took 3 steps away from the crowd, a hand grabs my wrist forcefully.
"Hey! You're the little brat who caused this?! Prepare to die, you little piece of unworthy---"
The mans sentence was cut off by another man punching him in the face.
"What do you know?! How do you know it was her?! She's a victim of the case right now! To fuckin' hell if you know what you're talking about!"
This is getting chaotic. Someone needs to get this in orde---
I closed my thoughts down. So that's how he's going to become king. Using the situation, huh?
Not even knowing it, I took a deep breath and shouted.
"STOP IT! If you citizens want to know what happened, stop your little quarreling and find out! Fighting isn't going to solve anything."
Thinking up until now, that was the smartest thing I have ever said. I need a pat on the back after this. If I'm still alive.
"Look, I bet you that none of you guys know what and who did it last night. In situations like this, panicking is the worst possible thing that you, as citizens, can do. You'll be building pressure for all the higher ups, ranting for us to quickly get to a decision. It's not that simple. I don't even know who it was, even if I was there and the main suspect."
That was such a lie.
"We'll try and figure it out, and report it back to all of you. So please, for the time being, continue on with your daily lives until we get this settled."
Bowing my head a bit, I sped walked away. For now, I don't even care where I go. Just somewhere away from this madness.
Also, judging from the voices behind me, Father was surely dead. This wasn't a prank. This is reality.

I sat down in my studying room, hoping to get away from the crowds for a bit. There was a knocking on the door.
"Coming..."
Opening the door, I found Koha.
"Thank you, I needed someone who understands me to be with me. Everyone is just being loud and very dumb."
"Yeah, I guess. So what do you want to do about this situation?"
"I want everyone to go die."
"Hm, well that's not very logical."
I closed the door behind us, and sat on my cushion.
"Every citizen is being so absurd. This is difficult to deal with. I don't know what to d~"
My voice cracked, and I started hysterically crying. Of all times, now?! Why did I not break down earlier?
Koha pulled me into a hug, both of us sitting on the floor.
"Listen, what I wanted to tell you was that you're going to be King tomorrow. Well, technically Queen, bu--"
"What?!"
"Yeah, crazy I know, but in order for this kingdom to be not in total chaos, you'll be the next ruler."
I tried to talk, but nothing was coming out. I was trained for 15 years for this day. Was I not ready?
I looked up at Koha.
"Do... Do you think I'll be ok at being the next ruler?"
He leaned closer and out his forehead on mine.
"Believe me, you'll do great."
His forehead was very warm, and it made me feel happy. But I felt my face burning up. I pulled away and pretend to be occupied with the outside world. As I stared outside trying not to let my face get red, I heard Koha snicker. I knew he was smirking.
"Oooh, I see. Perhaps you're too s-h-y?"
Lightly punching his arm, I quickly said,
"Stop teasing me!"

~~Time Skip~~

Koha's POV

Today was it. This kingdom is going to change under Senza's control.
I quickly got dressed and hurried to the court. Where Senza would be crowned. This was going to be very exciting.
When I got there, the room was already buzzing with commotion. I overheard some side conversation of a elderly lady and a young man.
"-think she is going to be a good ruler?"
"No. She is too young. She won't understand the concept. I should be crowned."
"Quit joking. You're not going to be crowned in a million years."
Many were against Senza automatically getting to be the next ruler, in fact, we had a vote yesterday and 9/10 voted she was too young and irresponsible. But we still needed a ruler.
"AHEM!"
The commotion immediately died down, everyone who was in the court now looking at the priest.
"I assume all of you gentlemen and ladies are here today to see the princess get crowned, correct?"
Silence. But next to where I had sat down, a man looking in his mid thirties shouted.
"I AM HERE TO SAY THAT SHE IS TOO YOUNG. IN FACT, I SHOULD BE THE NEXT KING OF VANA. I HAVE BEEN A CLOSE FRIEND OF THE KING SINCE WE WERE YOUNG. I UNDERSTAND THE RULES, AND I AM OL---"
The man was grabbed by the arms and lifted up from his seat.
"LET ME GO THIS INSTANT. I WILL SUE YOU!"
The soldiers who were dragging him out of the room  didn't say anything, but swiftly carried him out of the room. This could get very dangerous of someone doesn't become the ruler soon. But only a few more seconds, and Senza will be the next King.
Once again, the room was silent. If you tried hard enough, you could hear the man's echoing shouts down the hall, only to be getting softer and softer.
"Now, if anyone else has anything to say, please do so. Just keep in mind, that'll happen to you."
No one spoke a word.
"Good. Now, let's start the ceremony. Does anyone object to Princess Senza becoming the next King?"
No one said a word, meaning no one had objections. Senza was really going to become King.
From the left corner of the room, Senza walked slowly to then front of the priest, who had the crown in his hands.
"I here by declare Senza Takashi, Princess of the kingdom of Vana, Kin---"
The doors of the court slammed open with a loud bang.
"I OBJECT!"

SOOOO MUCH CLIFFHANGERS ;) it took me longer than usual to type this chapter since so many things happened, and it took me very long to polish up the plot than usual... Stay tuned! 1646 words...
