In the aftermath of the treacherous battle, Lady Isolde, her body battered and her elegance lost, surveyed the ruins of the grand hall. Crimson red blood flowed down her elbow and forehead, a testament to her proximity to King Aldric's burst of power. With a hint of relief in her eyes, she spoke to her remaining allies:
"So the rumors were true," Lady Isolde began, her voice tinged with both awe and malice, "he really had it, the legendary ancient and the most destructive ability that can be naturally possessed by a man. According to the legends, at full strength, its radius could span half a kingdom - the 'Xeidan Fury.' The Xeidan royal bloodline has finally been wiped off the face of the earth!"
Her lips curved upwards in a maniacal grin as she continued, "We have each of the kingdoms to thank for this historic moment. History has been made... This marks the beginning of a new era, an era with real peace. An era in which each royal family will rule without fear of anyone, just the way it should be. An era where no evil will be allowed, a realm free of tainted races freely roaming in a great kingdom, a time when pirates can no longer be found amongst normal people, and all those former doers of mischief will finally get the punishment they deserve. This is an era without the Xeidan kingdom, an era of the seven great kingdoms."
As Lady Isolde's words echoed through the shattered grand hall, the surviving members of the alliance felt a mixture of triumph and sorrow. The Regel Festivity had forever altered the course of history, and the world was poised on the brink of a new and uncertain era. The unity of the kingdoms had crumbled, and the future lay shrouded in uncertainty.
King Thorian of Veridinia, a regal figure with a crown adorned in emeralds, finally spoke, his voice tinged with a sense of victory. "Indeed, a new era awaits us. The threat of the Xeidan royal family has been extinguished, and our kingdoms can now flourish in peace and unity."
Queen Selena of Aquorium, known for her calm and composed demeanor, nodded in agreement. "It is a bittersweet moment, but it marks a turning point. We must stand strong together, as the seven great kingdoms, and forge a future free from the shadow of Xeida."
The young Prince Caelum of Terrafel, a fire in his eyes and a determination to honor his fallen allies, stepped forward. "Let us not forget the sacrifices made to bring us to this moment."
As the surviving knights and royals exchanged words of unity and victory, a new spirit filled the air. The rhythm began to shift, and the somber tones gave way to one of celebration. The remnants of the grand hall were bathed in the soft, golden light of dawn, symbolizing a new beginning.
Despite the devastation, the seven kingdoms had triumphed over Xeida. Their unity had proven stronger than the Xeidan Fury, and they were determined to usher in an era of peace and prosperity. The Regel Festivity had been irrevocably altered, but it had also sowed the seeds of a brighter future for the realm.
Lady Isolde, standing among the victorious royals, raised her hand to command their attention. The buzz of celebration fell to a hushed silence as she began to speak. "For now, we must conceal the full extent of what transpired here. The kingdoms need time to recuperate and prepare for the final step in securing our victory against the Xeidan army of knights."
King Thorian nodded, understanding the importance of secrecy. "We shall keep this knowledge within the council of the seven kingdoms. It will be our collective responsibility to ensure our realms are ready for what lies ahead."
Queen Selena added, "Let us not forget that many sacrifices have been made, and we must honor those who have fallen on both sides. May they find peace in the afterlife."
In the aftermath of the treacherous events, the world was a stage where the truth remained shrouded, and the shadows of history were being rewritten by those who had emerged victorious.
As the victorious royals celebrated their triumph, a mournful silence lingered around the fallen. In a corner of the grand hall, the lifeless bodies of Prince Eldric and Princess Elara lay motionless, their young lives extinguished before their time.
King Aldric and Queen Lysandra, once valiant rulers of Xeida, remained incapacitated, unaware of the tragic fate that had befallen their cherished children. The future of their kingdom was now uncertain, as the heirs to the throne had been lost.
Amidst the shattered remnants of the festivity, the fallen guards and loyal knights of Xeida were solemnly mourned by their comrades, for their unwavering loyalty had led to their demise.
The Regel Festivity, once a symbol of unity, lay in ruins, and the aftermath was a reminder of the devastating consequences of betrayal and treachery. The alliance of the seven kingdoms had achieved its goal, but at a heavy cost, and the unity of the royal families had crumbled, leaving a world forever changed by the events of that fateful night.
