Rex had gotten the information that everyone was ready for his grand entrance. Of course, the Ancient Zuggurant also wanted to make sure that his entrance was grand.
Once Rex had arrived in a dark alley beside the castle. Rex went up to the castle doors. He had decided to take things slow with this meeting. The Ancient Zuggurant had different ideas.
Rex slightly pushed on the door. As if he were opening a bedroom door, the Ancient Zuggurant had greatly weakened the doors. So much so that just a slight breeze would have destroyed the doors.
A loud crash happened as soon as Rex slightly pushed on the doors. Guards inside the castle came rushing forward. Some of the people close by went running into their homes. The guards unable to make it to the castle from the outside.
Inside the chamber where everyone else a voice echoed, "Greet the Demon King of Annihilation fools."
The advisors rushed to the door. Their hopes of beating the guards in their wildest dream. As they neared the entrance, the guards were fearful of who was standing there.
A tall man, seemingly one with Nature stood behind a shorter man, his eyes burned with fury because of the guards. The guards sensing their death if they decide to take any kind of action.
The advisors came from behind the guards. Their clothes not in good shape currently. The determination to make sure that nothing happens to the Demon King of Annihilation was far greater than what happened to their clothes.
"We greet the Demon King of Annihilation." They spoke in unison.
The guards dropped their weapons and bowed. Afraid that they had done something wrong, they wished for a quick death.
"Get up and lead me to wherever I am supposed to be." Rex told them.
"Next time do not make the door break down." Rex whispered to the Ancient Zuggurant.
"Oh. Maybe next time, we can bring down the whole front of a castle." The Ancient Zuggurant whispered back.
Too flustered to respond, Rex made sure to stick close to the advisors who were constantly telling him weird stuff about the Beastman Race and Kingdom.
The Ancient Zuggurant followed. His movements slow but precise. He wanted this meeting to be flawless.
Inside the chamber
Guards came through signaling the arrival of the Demon King. Everyone bowed including the Beastman King. He did so because he was not willing to keep his head equal with a force that he cannot control.
"Greetings to you all. Arise and let me speak." Rex told them.
Everyone raised their heads.
"I want to hear about the troubles you have Beastman King."
"My sons and daughters are going to become Military Generals. None of them can be talked to about any inheritance."
"Good. Thank you."
Rex pondered over it for a minute.
"I assume you are the father of the trio?" Rex asked pointing his towards the Cat King Father.
"Yes. My three children are currently with you."
"Your age?"
"Just under one hundred years."
Everyone was shocked to hear such news. That would have meant that his wife was far more powerful than even him at the same age.
"Will you become the king until we can figure out what we need to do?" Rex asked.
"Personally, I do not like the idea. Someone told me to do what your idea follows. Will you speak of it please?" The Cat King spoke.
"That was probably the Demon King of Will speaking to you. My idea is to allow your children to become generals, Beastman King. Their merits will allow their children to become the next King or Queen. Since you will probably die before they are born, we allow the Cat King to become the temporary king until then."
Although, the Cat King was not in favor of this. He was glad it would just be temporary and not a permanent position.
"The advisors will stay the same. Their families will also stay where they are. Once one of the children reaches a certain amount of merit, their eldest child will inherent the throne. That child will have the ability to change the advisors as he or she sees fit."
Hearing the idea, the Beastman King asked, "If only we could actually make a proposal for the merit. What could we actually make it? Currently, there is no way that we can do it. That is why my children went to become generals."
"A major war will happen. It will involve all the Realms. For your children, whoever either survives the longest during the war without being injured or their group makes the most attacks can inherent the throne. If two are very close, one male and female from both sides will inherent the throne. Of course, there is the possibility that none of them get injured. So we just go for the amount of attacks their group did.
You can even go even deeper if you wish. That is the basis of the idea I have for your children to inherent the throne."
Everyone agreed with the statement.
"Guards, grab me my children." The Beastman King spoke.
An hour later, sixteen children came into the throne room.
"My children, I have been given a glorious idea for the throne. Do you all wish to hear it?" The Beastman King was overjoyed.
Their emotions showed that they really did not want to hear it. They all motioned to each other to hear the proposal.
"Each of you will be granted five hundred warriors from the army. That should leave us with enough guards to protect ourselves.
There will be a war involving the Nine Realms. I have not yet finalized the final proposal yet, but whoever gets the most merits in that War will have either children inherent the throne.
In the meantime, if I were to die before they could inherent the throne or my time simply comes. The Cat King Race will become the temporary King. If each of you are okay with that, we will discuss further or reach a decision with the majority."
The children all agreed that this could be the best way to get everyone's way.
