Chapter 34 An happy ending
*Few months ago, at the president's office.*
"What do you mean you don't care? The soldiers are putting their lives at risk to save ours and you don't care." A man with grey hair shouted.
"Rest assured, the groggs won't harm us if we remain in this island." The vice president said.
"We might be safe here as you said but I can't watch our army die like ants, you need to release the ability drugs to them." The president said, hitting his hand on the table.
"Why do you even care? It's not like you still have any relatives, you this old man." The vice president said scoffingly.
"Did you just called me 'old man'?" The president said in anger.
"What else should I call you, old man?"
The president ran out of his desk to attack the vice president and on his way he fell to the ground, vomiting blood.
"I guess that proves it. You are just too old to tell me what to do." Mr Mathew said, walking closer to the president.
The president groaned in pain. "Maybe I should send you to the afterlife myself, that would be much easier for you, what do you say?"
"Don't....do...it." The president said, still groaning in pain.
"Come on! I'm only trying to make your death quicker and easier for you. You've over labored your body and now it's taking a toll on you."
"Please don't.... do it."
"Humans can be really selfish you know, I mean, what else in life could you possibly want to do that makes you want to live so badly?"
"My...my...."
"Your what?"
"My son." The president said as his eyes started closing.
"I guess growing senile had made you forget that you lost your son." The vice president said, squatting. "Now that you are dying, i guess there's nothing wrong in finishing you off."
The vice president brought out a dagger and stabbed the president on his abdomen. Pulling out the dagger, the door opened and a soldier entered.
"What did you do? Yo... you killed the president." The soldier shouted.
"No... I didn't. He killed himself believe me, You have to believe me." The vice president Cried out.
The soldier ran outside and alarmed the few in the island and the vice president was arrested.
"One more question, where is the president and vice president?" Jade asked.
"He's with me." Avon answered, entering into the room. "He's with me."
All of them turned to look at him in surprise.
"What do you mean he's with you?" Jade asked.
"I locked him up somewhere after I realize he killed the president." Avon replied.
"What! How would he do such a thing? And how were you even there?"Jade asked confusedly.
"Mr Luke asked me to spy on his brother. Nobody knew but I was the President's son.
I once had a car accident throwing me into the bridge connecting the island to the mainland. Mr Luke saved me, changed my appearance and brought me back after two months in coma, everyone thought I was dead.
Nobody really notice but my father did. I joined the army to keep myself hidden and fortunately the vice president hired me as his personal guard and also his buckler.
I was able to easily get information for Mr Luke.
The day he killed my father I was outside the door, listening to their conversation but my father was pretty much in a bad state so I let everything play out in order to catch the vice president red handed and well, it worked.
We threw him behind bars without announcing it to the public and when worse came to worst with the groggs we locked him in a dungeon at the island." Avon explained.
"In a way, there was basically no government to act on the situation and let me guess, you took over the force." Mark asked.
"Yes, though it wasn't enough to defeat the groggs, that's why we came to ask for help. I knew all along that our vice president was involved." Avon replied.
"Well, with that being said, I have one last question to ask Mr Luke here. How did you get those books and weapons at the south castle?" Jade asked, looking really serious.
"Oh! The books? It's going to sound funny but I'm a Takekian." Mr Luke stated.
*What!!* All of them exclaimed.
"Due to the system of only the first son of a king remaining in the village we had to leave and create a life for ourselves." Mr Luke said, smiling awkwardly. "We were three, me, Mathew and the current king, Slaran but living in Visgard restricted me and Mathew from using our abilities. Every king makes a note of their revelations ones in a while so I tried to find and gathered them in one place."
"Wow! That was a lot of work." Rhen commented. "How did you manage to do it?"
"I intrude each village once in a while to get information but getting older recently made me stop since I'm not as special as Slaran." Mr Luke explained, rubbing the back of his head with a smile.
"I guess there's nothing else to find out about. The east automatically is now part of Visgard." Jade said as he stood up. "Ouch! Sitting down here is really bone racking."
They all laughed and went outside to view the city. The people were not much, so the construction was a bit slow.
Jade and the rest joined in to rebuild the city though not for long. A month and two weeks later they got reports saying the king was dead, they had to return back.
On getting there it was said that the same thing had happened to the other Kings two weeks ago.
*At the king's room*
The pillars were all gathered, consoling the queen while Jade and the rest were doing the same to Saz in his room.
The king was embalmed and two days later they held a burial ceremony for him. It was time to coronate the next king.
As the tradition requires, no matter the prince age, if the king dies the first son of the king takes over. So Saz was coronated as the next king.
*At Rhen's house*
*Knock*
*Knock*
"Who is it?" Rhen asked, opening the door.
"Wanna grab some coffee?" Jade asked.
"Sure, give me a minute." Rhen replied, going in to get a jacket. "Alright let's go." They left to a cafe.
*At the cafe*
"Hey what's your plan now? You gave up the president's position. I thought you wanted it so badly." Rhen asked.
"Avon deserves to rule, that's all. No title is more satisfying compared to being the world's guardian, the captain of the new elite squad and not to mention, being with you." Jade replied with a smile.
"Gee! You gonna make me blush."
"Hey, are you blushing?" Jade asked.
"What! Me? No, no I'm not."
"Of course you are."
"I said I'm not."

The world at last became peaceful. Three years passed and visgard was almost done with the reconstruction.
Avon became the president of Visgard and granted permission of entry to all ability users.
Jade got married to Rhen who took over her father's smithy while Saz took Casey as his queen.
Mark joined his father and became a scientist, Billy was assigned as the new king advisor while Cindy took over the resources department after Mr James died.
Lastly, Peter also became the captain of the soldiers and life went on.
