Okay they are some matters that needs to be addressed today, and there's also an important announcement to be made ' the Emperor said ' he paused waiting for the information to sink into everyone and when he was sure that everyone attention was on him,he continued.
"It's has come to my notice that my subordinate have come to misuse their powers and positions ' The King said looking at each and everyone of them.
"Your actions are a threat to the very fabric of our kingdom. I would not hesitate to take drastic measures to protect our people and the kingdom.
"I gave you power, to serve the people and not to enrich yourself. Your corruption would be rooted out, and you would face the consequences.".
"Right prime minister Julian ' the king called"
"Live long your majesty' prime minister Julian said."
"They have been a massacre,in one of the villages you were supposed to be supervising duke Wilson,and not just one village three villages in just two months hundreds of lives were lost, and you have added alot of taxes in the place you are stationed to take charge duke Wilson, which are unbearable for the people to pay or participate. The rising of taxes and the gruesome way you treat them, have lead to different death, death of starvation, death of suicide,or assassination. And you have been doing this for over two years, it a pity that we had to find out late ' prime minister Julian said?"
"The king just sat there on his throne listening to the deeds of one of his subordinate,he was shocked because he wasn't expecting it atleast not duke Wilson of all people."
"In the hall, there was murmur everywhere, from the Minister's,official's, generals, lord's and duke's. Some were surprised, some were shrinking in fears, some were baffled eyes filled with disbelief, well everybody has a certain reaction apart from a certain someone who wasn't surprised as he expected it, and was also the one behind the leaked evidence."
! Silence ! "The king roared his voice booming down the hall to the hallway, his voice lace with authority showing his position as the king of kings of all king's"
"You must have forgotten that I'm still here ' the king said and every single person went silent head's bow not daring to look him in the eyes for fear not to upset him."
.
"This is a lesson and a warning to everyone of us,treason against the land and the people is highly prohibited, it a sin that neither I nor the kingdom would take and punishment are to be given according to rules stated that even our forefathers had been using ' the king said?"
"Because you are an official of the, land and for the years you had serve the people, your crimes are punishable by death, but there is a more greater punishment than death for a person like you ' the king said again"
"As the king of this kingdom and the emperor of the lands of valtoria, and with the power and authority bestowed upon me,I hereby announced thee that duke Wilson Cielo,is stripped by his position as a Duke and I bring you and your household to nothing but mere commoners and you shall leave as a criminal with hard labor and you shall beg and go through the nook and carnies for food but you shall not see, you shall ask for help but shall not be given, everything you have and worked for even your name and the house you live and all the properties you have shall no longer be yours, you and your household shall leave the rest of life in pain and misery, and so shall it be. ' the king concluded in one breath the rise of his chest going up and down in rage his eyes blazing red in anger,his Fang's ready to suck any soul dry ?".
"The rest of the people shudder in fear, looking at the king and the declaration he just made,in fear and with respect every single breathing person in the court rise in their feet to acknowledge the king."
"All hail the king, Emperor, Gorton Von Blackwood ' the herald (official commander for information or announcement) said?"
"Long live Emperor Gorton Von Blackwood ! The whole officials and Minister's, lord's and duke's, queen and mistress, prince and princess. All rise up and said in unison."
"This serve as a warning to y'all who are planning to do dirty,or who already are ' the king said."
"Guards came in and hijacked, duke Wilson who couldn't form a word feeling like it some nightmare. But of course it's was a nightmare his nightmares he had been swimming and enjoy the suffer and cries of the people even their death who would have thought his time too would come. He was still in a daze when the guard armed him forcefully, finally snapping him out of his thoughts he was about to beg when he heard the king's voice again making him feel like the world was spinning."
"Take him and make sure he parade the whole of Tenebria busy market, and let everyone see him and how his position is now, let him walk with the sliver chains and bound them in his hands and legs ' the king ordered causing everyone to look in horror."
...
"After few minutes everything was settled and the hall was back to normal like nothing happened minutes ago but some still couldn't control their facade and fear and horror was still visible in most of their eyes."
"Part of today's meeting was to announce to you that a marriage would be going on between kingdom Elyria and Tenebria ' the king said waiting for their reaction and as expected murmurs where everywhere wondering who was getting married."
"Your majesty,a marriage alliance between a vampire and a human ' left minister Marvin said"
"Yes any problem with that ' the king asked with raised brow.
