The people did not know what to expect after prince Sebastian caught the stone. The rumor about him has been very frightened. Some people had an over-reactive imagination. They imagine that he will get all of them killed with the stone he was holding.


    Who said he was a beast, this must be a monster,'' some of them thought. Although imagine that the palace gate will be locked and they will all be killed. Different people hand different thoughts but prince Sebastian did not do that.


    He calmly let the stone fall to his feet. He did not even ask who threw the stone. He had borrowed these people to give prince Craig a disgraceful death, so he naturally decided to forgive their mistake. Moreover, he chose not to fight his brother so that common people like them will not suffer. How could he have killed them later?


    He calmly clears his,  who had their head lowered raised it. Nobody knew what he was up to anymore.


    "This is a palace, not the forest how did you manage to see a beast?" He asked. When the people heard him they were not sure of how to respond.


    His was cold, not many people had heard him speak before, so they become more afraid that he was angry. The Generals and lords knew different.


    In fact, they felt that the find must have raised from the south that day. The late king did not dare to speak to him too loudly, yet he spoke to the people that dare to call him a beast and throw stones at him in such a manner.


    The people were scared and immediately went on their knees to apologize.


    "We are sorry your majesty, there is a problem with our eyes,"


    "Yes your majesty, how can there be a beast in our palace.


    " Our king is so strong, even a beast will not dare come close,"


    "Avalo is blessed because of you?"


    Different people said different things hoping to calm down his anger. So even went as far as blaming their mistake on prince Craig.


    "Our eyes must have gotten dirty from seeing the dog who killed his own father,"


    "Yes, that is right, he has dirty our eyes with his fake priest that we did not know our right from our left,"


    "It thanks to you that we return to our senses,"


    "May his majesty''s throne reign forever,"


    "We beg his Majesty to not lower himself to our level, please forgive us,"


    Prince Sebastian''s ear picked up most of what the people said. He was amazed by them. No one dared to call him good-looking since they did not know what he looked like.


    If the prince has really turned into a beast, they were afraid that calling him handsome will get him angry. Who knows if they will lose their head or tongue for such a mistake.


    The lords and nobles were amazed. The commoner sure had a honey tongue. They kept praising him to high heaven. They even dare address him as King and Majesty as if that is how things would be.


    Indeed one can only be arrogant if he has the power to back it up. When prince Sebastian saw how they acknowledge their mistake he decided to let it good.


    "Today is a good day, I have just returned. Seeing that you people have brought justice for the late king I will forgive you." prince Sebastian said.


    When the people heard this they were so happy that they praised him more. "Your Majesty your throne will establish forever," they bowed.


    "Since you have done that which you came to the palace for, it is time to leave," prince Sebastian said.


    "Of course," they all bowed and got ready to leave.


    "Your Majesty, these two are not fit to be buried, with your permission we would like to take they remain and dispose of in the forbidden forest," A loud voice from among the people spoke.


    The person who spoke was part of prince Sebastian''s men who lead the commoners to the Palace.


    Prince Sebastian gave his permission. A few people climb up. In no time the body of prince Craig and the fake priest was carried away.


    After this, prince Sebastian turn around without saying a word and started heading into the palace. The lords and nobles did not know what to do.


    On the other hand, lady Vera was holding on tight to her father. She had been frightened by the incident she witnesses. Tears were running down her cheeks and she kept murmuring words that no one around her could understand.


    Her father was at a loss of what to do, luckily two maids came over and help separate her from her father. After being doubting for a while, the lords and nobles decided to follow after the prince.


    Sure enough prince Sebastian walked back into the meeting hall. The nobles and lords came back and took their seats. Prince Sebastian wanted to clear all doubt and fix a date for his coronation but when he saw that many of the Generals were unable since they thought war is coming, he decided to move the meeting.


    Moreover, he needed his mother to arrive and his sunshine too. "Four days from now is a perfect day for coronation.," prince Sebastian said. According to the tradition of Avalo, a king could not be crowned any day. A could only be crowned on the first day of the new moon. This is especially why prince Craig had fixed his marriage the next day. After all, the prince must be married to at least a wife before he could be crowned.


    If he had married Vera the next day, he would have used the remaining two days to perform all the necessary rituals and preparation for him to be crowned on the first day of the new moon.


    When the lords and noble heard did this, they did not dare to raise any disagreements. They simply just nodded their head. Even if the soldiers had gone to war and the timing was not right, no one dared to bring it up.


    Seeing that they all nodded their heads like students listening to their teacher prince Sebastian also nodded his head. "Most of the generals are missing, we will have to move the meeting to discuss all the details to tomorrow evening," prince Sebastian said.


    Once again the Lord and noble nodded their head in agreement. Since there was nothing else prince Sebastian got up and left without another word.


    Once they were sure he was out of sight they all took a deep breath of relief. "I am already so old, yet I fear a young lad like the young prince. Heaven is indeed unfair," an old lord said.


    The other only curved their lips, they were in the same shoes as the old man, how could they comfort him.


    They could only blame their fate on heaven for being so unfair to them.
