Chapter 12 - Royal Succession

"..."

{"Name": "Ada Ambrose"}

{"Potential": "A+"}

{"Analysis": "A possessive tomboy with the potential to become a... Great King?"}

{"Would you like to pledge your undying loyalty to this individual?"}

***

Everette's eyes narrowed on the analysis. 'Tomboy? Sure, but possessive?' His stare then focused on the words "Great King."

'King...?'

'She's not even a dude! How can she be a king? And you should elaborate more on that possessive part!' Everette questioned the questionable analysis of Eden.

"Everette... What was that?"

Breaking out of his stupor, Everette answered with a shrug, "Don't know."

He tucked his finger under his chin and pondered, 'Her potential is in the A rank.'

Everette then turned around and focused his attention on every single person.

C's popped up occasionally, but they were all around D rank in potential. His gaze then fell on Jack and Amelia.

***

{ "Name": "Jack Birdeye/Vermillion" }

{"Potential": "A-"}

{"Analysis": "A capable archer whose embers may even be able to eclipse even the sun."}

{"Would you like to pledge your undying loyalty to this individual?"}

***

{"Name": "Amelia Rose"}

{"Potential": "A-"}

{"Analysis": "A shy girl that may become the incarnation of darkness itself."}

{"Would you like to pledge your undying loyalty to this individual?"}

***

Everette's body stiffened and began to shake, "H-haha... I hit a jackpot with those two..."

"Jackpot?" Ada overheard his mutter and looked in the direction he was staring at before frowning.

Everette then turned back around to Ada before giving a big grin.

"Ada! How do you feel about being a king?"

"A... king? Why do you ask?" Ada couldn't fathom what led him to ask her this question.

"Just answer the question." Everette pestered her.

Ada sighed, "Well... It sounds nice... Being able to do what you want. I guess also having respect from everyone around you also seems nice." She then gave Everette a deep, soft gaze.

'And I'll be able to have you all to myself.'

Everette smiled brightly. "How do you feel about having the chance to become a king?"

'As much as I want to boost my stats by pledging to her, I have to ask for her consent first, though...'

Ada smiled, "I wouldn't mind." After saying that, Everette immediately accepted her pledge.

Everette knelt and bowed his head towards Ada, "Would you become my Lord and Master?"

***

*Ada's P.O.V.*

"Would you become my Lord and Master?"

I stared wide-eyed as I saw Everette get on one knee and ask me to become his... MASTER?!

"W-what!?"

{"Ding! You have been offered the Class [Royal Candidate]. Would you like to replace your Class [Warrior] for it?"}

'H-huh!? W-what is going on!?' I was beginning to get flustered.

Feeling that I needed to calm down, I took deep breaths. After feeling the tension in my body disappear, I looked towards the panel.

'Show me details about the Class [Royal Candidate].'

===

[Royal Candidate] - "A class for those given the opportunity to participate in the {Royal Succession}. Increase all stats by 40%."

Class Abilities:

"Domination" - ["The ability to exert your will on your surroundings. Those caught in its range will either go unconscious or weakened if their willpower isn't able to resist it."]

"Morale Boost" - ["Just your presence can calm your ally's internal turmoils."]

"Faction" - ["The first step needed to one day create a kingdom."]

===

'T-this class... It's hella broken! But what's the Royal Succession?'

{"Royal Succession is a process in which those with the royal participants are allowed to become kings."}

'And how many Royal participants are there...?'

{"There are thousands, but the host only needs to defeat those in her country."}

'Is that so? How many are in the United Kingdom then?'

[ Royal Participants: 24 / 76 ]

[ Kings: 0 ]

"I see... I accept." My lips widened into a large grin at the thought of being Everette's "Master."

***

*Everrete's P.O.V.*

'This is really embarrassing! Could you please just choose already?' As soon as I accepted to pledge my loyalty to her, my body automatically knelt down and said all those embarrassing things.

"I see... I accept."

I immediately looked up to catch a glimpse of Ada's irritating yet playful grin before being lifted inches off the ground before being surrounded by Mana.

{"Ding! Ada Ambrose has accepted your pledge. Serve her well, Everette Garden."}

Then another panel appeared, but it seemed like everyone got it this time.

{"Ding! Individual Ada Ambrose is now in the process of acquiring the class [Royal Participants]"}

Ada's body was encased in a cocoon of Mana. It pulsed like a beating heart. Each pulse pushed everyone in the vicinity back. This was because she was currently forming a small hurricane around herself.

"W-what the hell!?" I tried to stand my ground, but every now and then, I would be pushed back a couple of inches.

The cocoon was turning rapidly before slowing down. Cracks formed on the front of the cocoon, which was then pried open by two arms coming from inside.

Falling to her feet, Ada looked around with an expressionless look before shifting to a smug one.

"Heh! Seems like I'm the one in charge now, I guess?"
