The Royal Maid And The Lost Kingdom

CHAPTER FORTY – SEVEN

Alice’s POV

It’s been a few days since the battle and organizing everything was a bit stressful. There was almost nothing and everyone was tired. I had told Alex to take my uncle out into the field and torture him. I needed answers and justice

But the thought of finally being able to reclaim what was rightfully mine, filled me with hope and determination.

Lily and I started to organize the rebels, delegating tasks and making sure everything was being taken care of. As we worked, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for her support and guidance.

After a few hours, Alex approached us and informed me that my uncle was ready for the interview. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come.

I entered the tent where my uncle was being held, my heart pounding in my chest. He was sitting on a chair, looking defeated and worn out with a lot of bruises all over his body.

“Why?” I asked him, my voice shaking with anger and hurt. “Why did you kill my parents?”

He looked up at me, his eyes filled with regret. “I didn’t mean to,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “Your father was going to take the throne from me and my power completely, and I was desperate. I thought if I got rid of him, I could maintain my power.”

I felt the anger and sadness welling up inside me, threatening to overwhelm me. “You took away everything from me,” I said, tears streaming down my face. “My parents, my childhood, my life as I knew it.”

He hung his head in shame. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I wish I could undo what I’ve done.”

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. “Why did you come back? Why did you want to take me?”

“I heard that you were back in the kingdom, and I was afraid,” he said. “Afraid that you would take the throne and avenge your parents. I thought if I took you, I could use you as leverage. Maybe marry you to maintain power.”

I shook my head, feeling sick to my stomach. “You can never take what’s rightfully mine,” I told him. “I will reclaim the throne and make sure justice is served for my parents.”

With that, I turned and walked out of the tent, my head held high. I had a lot of work to do to make things right in the kingdom, but I was determined to do it. For my parents, for myself, and for the lost kingdom.

The day of my coronation had finally arrived. I was filled with a mixture of emotions. I was excited to be crowned as the Queen of the lost kingdom and to fulfill the promise I made to my parents to restore peace and prosperity to my people.

At the same time, I was feeling a bit sad as I thought about Prince Edward, the only man I’ve ever loved. My heart ached for him and I wondered how he was doing.

I stood in front of the large, ornate mirror, examining my appearance. I was wearing a beautiful, flowing white gown with intricate gold embellishments. It was a replica of the one my mother wore on her own coronation day, and I wore it in her memory.

I had also decided to wear my hair just like she did, in a sleek, elegant bun. It was my way of paying tribute to her and showing the world that I was proud to be her daughter.

As I made my way to the grand hall, my heart was pounding with excitement. The hall was breathtakingly beautiful, with high, arched ceilings and walls adorned with gold and silver. Sunlight poured in through the large, stained-glass windows, creating a warm, golden glow that lit up the room.

I took my place at the front of the hall, where the seven leaders of the rebel council were waiting for me. I looked out at the sea of people, all of them there to witness my coronation. I felt a sense of pride and responsibility wash over me. I was ready to take on this new role and to lead my people to a better future.

As the crown was placed on my head, I felt a surge of power and determination. I was the Queen of the lost kingdom, and I was ready to lead my people to greatness.

As soon as the crown was placed upon my head, I stood before my people, my heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and fear. I looked out at the sea of faces, some familiar and some not, but all of them looking to me for guidance and leadership.

I cleared my throat and began to speak.

“My dear citizens,” I began. “Today marks a new beginning for our kingdom. We have overcome so much and have finally claimed back what was once rightfully ours.”

The crowd erupted into cheers, their voices filling the great hall and echoing off the walls. I let the noise die down before continuing.

“I am honored to be your Queen, but I could not have done this alone. I have a council of seven leaders who will be my advisors, and I will be relying on them to help me make the best decisions for our kingdom.”

I paused, looking at each of the seven leaders in turn. They nodded, their expressions serious and determined.

“And to show my gratitude for all those who have helped me on this journey, I would like to officially make Alex and Jack my sworn knights and Lily my trusted advisor.”

More cheers from the crowd, and I could see Alex and Jack exchange a proud look with each other. Lily simply nodded, her expression unchanging.

“But now, my people, I must speak of the past,” I continued. “I was away from our kingdom for too long, and I know there are many questions about what happened during that time. I can tell you that it was a difficult and trying experience, but it has only made me stronger and more determined to lead you all to a better future.”

The crowd listened intently as I spoke, their faces showing understanding and empathy.

“And finally, I must address the elephant in the room,” I said, my voice becoming firm. “My uncle, the one who claimed the throne after the death of my parents, is now in our custody.

I have had a chance to speak with him, and I have come to the conclusion that he must be punished for his crimes against our kingdom and our family.”

The crowd gasped, their expressions growing grim, I saw anxiety and I knew that some were scared that I would let him go all free and liberated.

“Therefore, I sentenced him to death by beheading.”

The crowd erupted into cheers once more, their voices filled with a mixture of anger and triumph. I could see some of the citizens exchanging relieved looks, finally able to put the past behind them and move forward.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“From now on, this kingdom will not be called Lost kingdom anymore but by my power as Queen I hereby name this kingdom of Ull.” I concluded my speech as the people hailed me

As I stood there, basked in the adoration of my people, I couldn’t help but think of Prince Edward and wonder what he would think of all this. But for and wonder what he would think of all this. But for now, I was content to be their Queen and lead them to a better future.
