Chapter 4: War of Powers.
Part 3: The royal conclave.
The day of the royal audience arrived and all the guests arrived at the royal palace.
The royal palace of Munfortwall had exquisite and extensive gardens, the climate of the capital was reminiscent of eternal spring. It was never too hot, nor was it too cold, so the plants bloomed all year round. The palace's finely stuccoed granite walls made it sparkle in the sun. The royal palace had more than 100 rooms and 10 rooms for different activities at the time. On this occasion the royal hall displayed the finest works of art of the kingdom, and the golden guard, vigilant in every corner with their golden and fine armor, looked like works of art from the collection. Plentiful food and drinks (non-alcoholic) were served, but the nobles never ate or drank excessively.
The golden guard gave notice of the royal entrance to the hall and all the subjects bowed their heads, including Karym Storm.
His Majesty, the King of the Sacred Kingdom of Granheim, Xender II, began by asking “What will we do with those rebels? I want clear and effective councils ”.
The bourgeois faction, (contemptuously called the pacifist faction), led by the ruler of Isla Arena, Rick Xarur, urged not to exterminate the native populations, on the contrary, they propose to control the economy of the regions, including the Indigo Peninsula, promoting the vassalage of this area. Regent Xarur reminded the king that half of the kingdom's known population is made up of mestizos and natives. He, as a convert to the faith of the potentate, is the last regent who does not belong to the royal family and urges to strengthen the conversion of pagans, -All our vassals will want to join the club of successful followers of our faith. - He indicated.
"I disagree," he said, Grand Prior Arthur Greyskies. Who intervened as president of the Sacred Templar faction. - Indigo peoples are extremely primitive, their paganism has no limits, they live with demons. We must cleanse mortal sin from our lands and in this way strengthen our people. They tell me that they have had the roguery of killing two of our angels and Manuhell Baldovo fled with a powerful sorceress who wears linen and ruby scales. The latter is a bad omen, it could be a powerful sorceress that would bring the end of our kingdom. I propose that we immediately attack everything we have south of the Indigo River.
The Falangist faction, under the leadership of Prince Tyran Allianze, asked for his word. - It is dangerous to have the pagan threat united. From a good source I tell you that 1000 warriors of the Savannah and the waterfalls are south of the Indigo River. If by mistake they joined the savages, who by God we do not know how many there may be, and attack us, we would be in trouble. I would like to lead that conquest, your majesty.
The King thoughtfully looks at his son Tyran Allianze. For no reason do you want to give it the prominence you are looking for. Therefore, the king decrees:
1- My son, His Royal Highness, Prince Alex Allianze is appointed Royal Regent of the domains of the waterfalls and the northern savannah.
2- For the Indigo conquest campaign it will have half of the First Royal Army, 1200 infantry soldiers of God and 600 holy knights.
3- General Vlad Strong, the holy sword hero, Basilius Grant, as well as 10 golden guards, will escort the prince.
4- 10 combat priors will be delivered to the conquest campaign.
5- Those 10 combat priors will handle 50 angels and Zagashiel, one of our most powerful archangels.
6- Capture Manuhell Baldovo and bring me his head.
7- Every rebel found will die.
8- Every old man and woman who is unarmed will die.
9- Every virgin woman and infant will be taken as a slave.
10- The treasures found will be for the royal house, and the right to exploit the lands will be yours, as long as they send settlers.
The decision of the royal conclave was clear. The regent of the Holy City of HolyFort, Karym Storm, took the opportunity to approach the leaders of the "pacifist faction."
-Sirs, you are mostly noblemen quite far from the crown or not even noble. I want you to closely observe the events that follow and to keep in touch.
