the treasure chest was placed in the lounge, Ashhad and Humzah closed all the doors and windows, and after locking them, they made their way back to the lounge, the treasure chest had a big metal lock on it as Aaron remarked
Aaron : I wonder where the key to this lock is?
Humzah : I'm sure it must be here somewhere.
Zulqarnain face palmed and said
Zulqarnain : step aside.
as Zulqarnain walked up to the chest Ashhad asked
Ashhad : what are you gonna do?
Zulqarnain took out in his hand his Trident and with a single hit from the mythical weapon the lock shattered like if it was made of glass, this left everyone in the room amazed as Humzah flattered Zulqarnain by saying
Humzah : I'm beginning to think you are more than just a minister turned spy.
Zulqarnain smiled and replied
Zulqarnain : quiet the opposite actually you see I was a spy who due to his fame was made a minister, to be honest with you I have done a very poor job as a minister of law and relations, which is why I abdicated from my position.
Hussnain : I'm sure you're regretting it now.
Zulqarnain : not the slightest as a matter of fact I gave your and Basit's name to Arthur as the next minister of law and relations, but sadly he and Basit both met their demise before my arrival.
Hussnain : I'm happy he didn't went forward with his decision, I don't have what it takes to be a minister.
Alyne said in a intrusive tone
Alyne : if you guys are done can we please open the chest.
Zulqarnain : oh yeah definitely.
Humzah walked upto the unlocked chest and opened it inside were loads of emeralds they illuminated a bright green light as Alyne said
Alyne : so beautiful.
Humzah : are those diamonds in between them.
Hussnain : I have never seen so much wealth in my whole life.
Ashhad : me to, let's split this fortune up before our greed gets the best of us.
Aaron : well said dear friend.
back in Stevenburg, Sufiyan had reached the town the night prior and was staying in the Princes room at the royal palace, at the minute he was reading the world famous novel " THE KID " by eternal balance as he reached a certain part of the novel he said
Sufiyan : oh Darien every time I read the chapter in which you die I can't help but shed a few tears.
a tear rolled down his cheek it reached his chin and then it fell on the page of the book, just then a knock happened on the door of this room as Sufiyan said
Sufiyan : yes who is it?
the door opened and in came walking a tall and muscular man who had a dark complexion and green eyes as he said
Sufiyan : your highness it is time for your coronation.
Sufiyan smiled and shook his head as he placed the novel aside and got up, the man said
Man : follow me.
Sufiyan and the man made their way out of the room, Sufiyan asked
Sufiyan : by the way big fellow, what's your name?
Skull crusher : my real name is George Clementine but you may refer to me as Skull crusher as that is my IGN, you may not know but I am the minister of defense of Ortania.
Sufiyan : perfect, I was expecting that you would turnout to be a high ranking official.
after following skull crusher for about 5 minutes they arrived at the throne room of the palace, the room was decorated with portraits of the previous Kings as well as chandeliers their was a large red coloured carpet leading to the throne while the room itself was a light shade of purple the other 2 ministers were standing their as well, as Sufiyan reached his throne all the ministers said simultaneously
Ministers : greetings your highness.
Sufiyan replied
Sufiyan : greetings to you all as well.
Sufiyan went and sat on his throne as one of the ministers brought forward a pillow placed atop it was a golden crown, skull crusher picked up the crown and walked up to Sufiyan and placed it on his head and said
Skull crusher : from this day onward Sufiyan Ghazi shall be known as the king of Ortania, long live the King!
as the 3 ministers began chanting
Ministers : long live the King! long live the King! long live the King!
the minute the crown was placed on Sufiyan's head, it was as if a switch flicked open in his mind which should've never turned on as the ministers chanting ended Skull crusher asked
Skull crusher : your highness as the new king of Ortania, what shall be your first decree?
Sufiyan looked at Skull crusher and then took a good look at the room he was sitting in, for five minutes he silently observed all the things in the room and said
Sufiyan : my first decree as the new King of Ortania is that all the statues, portraits and other memorabilia of the former kings of Ortania be destroyed, they are the reminders of our dark past.
hearing this left all the ministers shocked as Sufiyan looked at them while raising his eyebrow
Sufiyan : I hope I don't have to repeat my words.
hearing this Skull crusher replied
Skull crusher : yes sir.
the three ministers left to carry out Sufiyan's order.
