The weather is cold, the atmosphere of the Canbrai Kingdom is still mourning, several corpses are lying in the palace grounds, after receiving the death sentence from the young emperor Thustan.
"Sir, shall we hold the funeral of His Majesty the King of Frithestan, receiving guests as usual?" bodyguards approached Gounelle.
Gounelle looked around, making sure that the emperor was not around her, "Yes, open the entrance of the main gate, let the other Kingdoms follow His Majesty's funeral ceremony."
The guard lowered his head, gave orders to the other guards, carried the bodies of the four tortured dead to the dump.
Abel approached Gounelle, "I'm afraid, someone will open their mouth to another kingdom for Thustan's cruelty to his people. We will be prosecuted and judged by them."
Gounelle took a deep breath, "make sure all the people of the kingdom of Canbrai don't communicate with other guests. Tell all the guards, to keep the entire palace tight. Keep some distance, because we will have the last funeral ceremony."
Abel bowed his head respectfully, leaving Gounelle in deep thought.
Sure enough, three hours later, the main door of the Canbrai kingdom was wide open to other royal relatives. they heard the death of His Majesty the King of Frithestan was very sudden, many even thought the young Emperor Thustan caused the death of the King.
Prince Masson's eyes were a little wild as he entered the main gate of the Canbrai kingdom. he searches for the whereabouts of Daniel and Gabriel, in every corner of the people of the kingdom of Canbrai.
"Where's Gabriel?" Masson muttered to himself.
The entire body of the Bordeaux Kingdom, escorted the prince to enter the palace which was located not so far from the main gate. the sprawling palace, standing firmly with the main pillar engraved with the royal coat of arms of Canbrai, was very good in the leadership of His Majesty the King of Frithestan.
"Find Gabriel and Daniel, lest anyone find out about our plans," Masson whispered to his confidant Duffon.
Duffon bowed respectfully, "good prince."
Masson enters the palace, sees the coffin not tightly closed, performing his rituals as a Catholic. Unknowingly, tears of sadness flowed from the corners of his eagle's eyes.
"I respect you Your Majesty the King of Frithestan, may you rest in peace with the Father in heaven, the eternal kingdom in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen," Masson crossed his forefinger, both shoulders and ends on his lips.
Masson retreated, looking for the young emperor Thustan who was not in the area of ​​your king's coffin, "where did he go, did he die too, being unable to rule a kingdom as big as Canbrai?" his eyes grew wild, searching for Daniel Thustan's confidant.
Masson sat in a chair that had been provided by several servants, took a cup of honey tea. He saw several neighboring kingdoms from the south attending the funeral of His Majesty the King of Frithestan.
Gounelle rushed over to Masson. in that century which was able to run the royal business very well was the Kingdom of Bordeaux under the leadership of Prince Masson. A man with a ruthless face, but his heart is as soft as cotton, not even capable of hurting his own people.
"Welcome Prince," Gounelle saluted Masson.
Masson bowed respectfully, "Where is the young Emperor of the Forest?"
Gounelle approached Mason slightly whispering, "King, getting ready, Prince."
Masson nodded, so many questions in his head. a little curious, because the Canbrai kingdom looks like a dead kingdom, without its usual warmth.
"What happened to Your Majesty the King of Frithestan?" Masson asked Gounelle, staring intently into the eyes of a confidant of the Canbrai kingdom.
"Prince's heart attack . . we are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of His Majesty," Gounelle turned her gaze to Daniel and Thustan who were approaching guests from other kingdoms.
All the guards and royals of the century gathered together to carry out the funeral ceremony of His Majesty the King of Frithestan. The young emperor Thustan as heir to the throne was devastated by the loss of his beloved father.
His handsome face, but saddened by the cruelty he inflicted on the people of the Canbrai kingdom all this time. they performed their usual rituals, praying as directed by the Pasteur of the Kingdom of Canbrai. The rulers of the kingdoms from the south were also present, feeling the loss of Your Majesty who was very good in their opinion.
Thustan placed the last flower on the grave of His Majesty the King of Frithestan, turning his gaze towards Gounelle and Abel.
"Look for Gabriel's whereabouts, I'm sure someone helped him to get out of Canbrai," Thustan whispered in Gounelle's ear that Abel could hear.
Daniel was still looking down following Thustan from behind, "King, we are going to have a meeting with Prince Masson. Has he met you yet?"
The young emperor turned his body to look closely at Daniel's face, "I will meet him, if all other kingdoms leave the palace. You understand?"
Daniel bowed respectfully, he understood very well how the Emperor's privacy was, "Good King."
Thustan rides on the back of Roki, his favorite horse to return to the kingdom, "where is that girl, did she run away. Who let her out of the palace?" grumbled the emperor in his heart as he passed the crossroads to the palace.
There was a hint of anxiety on his face, the power was now in his own hands. He even had to strategize, so that other kingdoms wouldn't know about the bad deeds he had done to his own people.
Prince Masson approached Daniel, whispering something in the ear of Canbrai's confidant, "where is Gabriel, is he trapped in your palace?"
Daniel swallowed his saliva, trying to calm down even though he was lying, "Sorry Prince, Gabriel ran away."
"You bastards, did King catch my man red-handed?" Masson backed away, searching for Gabriel's whereabouts in his own way.
Leaving the cemetery first, without the escort of the Kingdom of Bordeaux.
Of course Gounelle knew Daniel's fear, it was very clear from the look on his face "is he hiding something from us?" The second right hand whispered in Abel's ear.
Abel just shrugged his shoulders, got on the horse, left the cemetery, without thinking about Daniel or Masson. for him the Canbrai kingdom was currently under threat due to the carelessness of the young emperor.
***
The precarious atmosphere in the Canbrai kingdom, was clearly seen when the Royal Bordeaux guards surrounded the entire palace, after a few days of the funeral of His Majesty the King of Frithestan. thustan searches for the whereabouts of Daniel, who disappeared from the kingdom.
The people of the kingdom of Canbrai are getting hungry, because they have lost a lot of food, which Daniel seized by force through the guards of the Kingdom of Bordeaux.
BRAAAAK,
"Where is Daniel, why have my people become what they are nowwhat are you guys doing behind my back?” Emperor Thustan shouted at Gounelle and Abel.
The pale faces of the two were clearly visible, due to hunger for several days. They don't get food which is usually abundant. All looked lethargic because of the lack of nutrition for their bodies.
"Answer!" Thustan shouted right in Gounelle's face.
Gounelle challenged Thustan the young emperor who looked stupid at this time, "what did you do to us, that's the answer King!"
Of course Thustan did not remain silent because of what Gounelle had said to him.
PLAAAAK,
Thustan's sturdy hand landed right on Gounelle's head without any pity.
BRAAAK,
Gounelle bounced away from the palace chair, the seat of pride in her time with His Majesty the King of Frithestan, "I will tell all the kingdoms out there, all your cruelty, King!"
Thustan is getting more and more emotional, but what power. The stout hand that was about to finish off Gounelle, was held directly by Prince Masson. Very quickly Prince Masson managed to decapitate the young Emperor Thustan, before he finished off the Canbrai Kingdom's confidants.
Bhuuuug,
Thustan's body lay on the floor, covered in blood with his head separated from his body.
"Kill them all, leave nothing left. I don't want them to live," Masson ordered, inserting a long sword covered in blood.
Gounelle and Abel were beheaded at the gallows, so as not to leave a mark on the Canbrai empire.
Daniel the traitor hanged himself from a sycamore tree, a large and tall tree that thrives in the area of ​​the royal palace of Canbrai.
The kingdom of Bordeaux managed to destroy the entire kingdom of Canbrai at the behest of the entire kingdom in that century. The cruelty of the young emperor Thustan became the end of everything for the Canbrai kingdom which had no experience in maintaining the kingdom's own economy.
Prince Masson managed to achieve super power to become the best kingdom, able to survive for a very long time by selling food to the kingdom that was oppressed by the kingdom of Canbrai.
