[Completed] Ruina Stoneheart - A Corrupted Soul

Chapter 11 : The Feeling of Bliss

The following day, everyone gathered at the Royal Arena to celebrate the happiest day ever.

Everyone. Yes, everyone, including Roberto Arnoldi, the Tighty Knighties, the Forest Monsters, Sea Monsters, Lava Monsters... everybody came on this very day.

The Knights and Jestro are neatly dressed in their armor as they stood in the middle of the stage.

"Citizens of Knighton," the King spoke. "We gather here to celebrate the victory of our Nexo Knights, and Jestro. " He turned around and looked at the jester.

Jestro looked puzzled. This party was meant to be for Monstrox, wasn't it? He thought.

"Jestro, brave brave Jestro, you've done a great job defending Knighton from the forces of evil lately. And because of that, I Knight you, Jestro, the Knight jester... Nononononono... Sir Jestro, the Knight jester. "

The King winked at him as he winked back. The Nexo Knights looked puzzled. It seems that King Halbert had promised Jestro about something.

"And now, I proudly announce, that Sir Jestro, the Knight Jester, is officially a member of the Nexo Knights!"

The others cheered and clapped for Jestro. The Knights gave him the loudest cheers.

"Thank you, Sire," Jestro said as he knelt down. "I pledge my weapon, and my shield, that I'll protect this beautiful Kingdom, along with the Nexo Knights, at any cause. "

"Good," King Halbert said as he raised Jestro's arm in the air.

"I'm so proud of you, Jestro, you're a great Knight! I've said this to my daughter before, and now, it's your turn," the King looked at Jestro as he said.

"Thank you, Sire," Jestro smiled.

"I...wanna ask you something, Jestro,"the King suddenly asked.

"What is it, Your Majesty?" Jestro asked curiously.

"Would you mind if you...stay in the castle with us?" The King said as he looked at Macy and Queen Halbert.

The two of them smiled as they agreed.

"Well, thank you, Sire, for the offer. But, to be honest, I'm quite fine living with Merlok. " Jestro looked at Merlok as the two of them smiled.

"You're a filial child, and I'm happy that Merlok has you as an adopted son," the King praised him. "Come to the castle frequently, will you?"

"I will, Sire," Jestro smiled as he thought about something.

"Oh, remember what we're here for, Sire..."

"Oh, yes, I'm so forgetful..." King Halbert scratched his head as he said.

"Good citizens of Knighton, " he spoke. "We gathered around here, not just for the Knighting of our Knight jester, but for another special reason. "

The King waved as Merlok and Montgomery went up the stage.

"It's Monstrox!" Jousting Bieber felt shocked.

"He looks...different," Brickney Spears looked at Monty as she said.

"This is Montgomery Necrostron DeStrox, a very famous wizard of Knighton. Everybody loved and respected him," King Halbert spoke as Monty stepped forward.
