It has been a few weeks since I was crowned King of Lishengure and chants raged through the halls of the castle and out through the towns, I expected at least a little resistace to the crowning but there wasn't one no one even raised a sword to my crown so far. I decided it would be best if I started out easy My first task of being king was to ease up on the people.
I lowered the amount of food that was required for the castle leaving the towns people with more to eat, Next I decided to lower the tax for the Kingdom had enough to go to war at least ten times if not more, and Lastly I was going to find a Queen to share the throne with me or at least finally make it offical and marry my Queen.
There was so much to do and little time to do it, So I got right to work I gathered my council and told them of my plans the wise men agreeing to the changes I wanted to make to improve our peoples lives. I went through the plans I had and how I wanted to do things as well as my wedding plans the men being a bit hestitant at first before giving in.
After many long days of talking we all decided that we would start off by helping the people lowering anything we could making it easier for people to live life but not to easy we kept tax and other things but just lowered them. Also I started upgrading our old defenses making them stronger and more reliale than they were before.
When the long day of starting, ending, and just being was done I crawled into a warm bath the water soaking up all of the aches from sitting in the chairs and such then I dried and dressed falling onto the bed Jupiter joining me soon after having had her own bath her arms wrapping around me.
As I lay in the bed next to Jupiter I felt myself relax after the long day her very touch willing me to sleep my eyes closing slowly as I lay beside her though seconds before my eyes fully closed my window shatters two men rolling and standing in the room Jupiter sitting bolt upright as I grabbed for my sword the men smirking.
"Come little King make us bow down to you If you lose the throne will be ours if we lose you live to see another sunrise" Said the older looking of the two.
"you have made a mistake you will fall to my blade" I said standing up and engaging in a sword fight the guards rushing in as soon as the first clang of the blades rang through the room.
"Sire!" the guards exclaimed loudly joining the fight the men falling before long their swords castaway from them the blades slithering across the floor.
"bow down to me and you might find mercy yet" I said as the younger boy slowly fell to his knees the other was to proud.
"take this man to the stockades and the other to the dungeons they are not allowed to see each other" I comanded the guards doing as they were told.
I sighed and cleaned up the room with Joseline's help before returning to the bed and curling next to her.
"let's try this again shall we" I chuckled kissing her on the lips and trying to fall asleep though the broken window cooled the room harshly we stayed together under the covers until morning broke.
