Chapter 231. Epilogue – BREAKERS

Chapter 231. Epilogue

– Coronation soon.

– And the wedding is just around the corner.

Sylvan and Chris stood side by side in the Demon King’s temporary Palace. As a rule, they never were in each other’s company for long, but today it was different. They stood side by side and felt absolutely no discomfort.

– Amazing.

– What? Sylvan asked.

“I thought you’d be hysterical because Felicia was ignoring you,” Chris poked him with a shrug.

Sylvan really became a complete idiot when it came to his sister. But instead of getting angry, Sylvanas just laughed and replied in a similar tone:

– Aren’t you the same?

Chris also kept his eyes on his sister. It was more correct to say that he treated her like his daughter than like a younger sister. Sometimes his concern was overwhelming. It’s amazing that he even allowed her to fight.

The counterattack was effective, but Chris didn’t give up.

– You may have forgotten, but I was the one who proposed marriage with Shutra.

– Yes, you are a real villain.

Sylvan and Chris laughed like two idiots. It took a long time before they could stand side by side like this and exchange jokes.

Then Chris took a deep breath. He looked at Sylvan’s golden eyes, not covered by the bandage, and mechanically asked:

– Oh, now you can control her?

– Partly, – Sylvanas grinned.

– Okay then, – Chris nodded in response.

It’s been 10 years since that incident. What happened was completely unintentional. Chris didn’t want to admit it, but it wasn’t Sylvanas’s fault.

When Sylvanas was still a child, his fairy freed herself and almost killed Caitlin and Chris.

Sylvan and Caitlin were so shocked that they practically did not remember anything about the accident. But Chris remembered everything.

Fortunately, casualties were avoided, and this incident did not cause tensions between 3rd Queen Sylvia and 4th Queen Elaine. However, all this time, Chris could not forgive Sylvanas.

But when did his feelings change? When did Sylvanas show he could control a fairy? Or when did they join the same faction?

Chris remembered the Heavenly Forest of the dark elves, and before his eyes the figure of Sylvanas rushed to save ordinary people.

– By the way… – said Sylvan suddenly.

Chris turned around and grinned. Sylvanas had the same expression on his face as he always did when he talked about Felicia.

– Doesn’t Felicia make a fantastic bride?

There was no doubt about that.

Chris frowned, but soon smiled and replied firmly:

– Caitlin is nicer.

This, too, had its own grain of truth. The two fools looked at each other and laughed out loud.

***

Reconstruction works continued in the Demon King’s Palace. Only a few months have passed since construction began, but thanks to the huge number of people who decided to help, the shape of the main castle has already begun to take shape.

– It still seems to me that the most basic work is still ahead.

– Um, well, the Demon King’s Palace is a real big city. It will take several years to restore it to its original size.

Vandal, who was the newly minted captain of the Royal Guard, wore brightly colored armor. He always wanted to take them off, but his position as captain did not allow this.

Next to Vandal was a beautiful succubus girl, Nayatra. She wore a neat uniform, which meant she belonged to the Demon King’s Intelligence Agency. She was soon to form a new organization.

The vandal scanned the buildings and sighed again.

– It’s only a month before the coronation… I think it would be better to celebrate this event elsewhere.

The construction speed was quite fast, but like Nyatra said, the Demon King’s Palace was a real city.

It is unlikely that the workers will have time to complete a lot in just a month, and therefore the ceremony may take place near the Black Castle.

Nayatra agreed with Vandal’s opinion, but explained:

– The palace is a symbol. Besides the Sanctuary, only here can a ceremony take place.

– Well, then nothing can be done.

After all, rules are rules. The palaces of the queens were luxurious and beautiful, and therefore ideal for celebrating such ceremonies, but there were several queens, and the choice of one of them could offend the other. Politics is a tricky thing.

Vandal shook his head, trying to get rid of all these complicated thoughts as soon as possible, and turned to Nayatra.

– How are you doing?

He was asking about something specific, and Nayatra understood that.

Slightly pouting her lips, she replied:

– Well, there is progress. Obviously, the queens have already been taken, but to become a concubine…

Unfortunately, she had too strong rivals. Moreover, the position of a queen was acquired by far more than love. She needs strong supporters, but Nayatra had no one. In addition, according to the information she collected, Anastasia was to become the 1st Queen.

From the very beginning, representatives of such races who did not have the resources and influence to give birth to their own queen became the concubines of the Demon King.

This process clearly lacked romance, but it just so happened that the queens and concubines were the personification of political stability. Cases where there really was love between the Demon King and the Queen, such as Mithra and Sylvia, or Ingun, Caitlin and Felicia, were rare.

The vandal looked at Nyatra with regret and said:

– This is sad.

– This is reality.

Nevertheless, even the very meeting with the prince was akin to a miracle, and therefore a charming smile appeared on Naiatra’s face.

– Well, the probability of winning is still high. I already have a fairly strong relationship with the prince, that is, with the Demon King, – the girl said confidently.

Ingun’s story was simply incredible. It was difficult for them to understand concepts such as “game concept” and so on.

Nevertheless, she had to believe it, and she was very happy that he told her everything about himself. Everyone who knew the truth about Ingun could be considered true supporters.

– Well, the main thing is that you yourself want it. If anything, I will always support you.

– Thank you, captain.

The vandal laughed, and louder than usual, so Nayatra asked:

– What is it?

– That is nothing. It just seems to me that we have known each other for a very long time.

They seemed to be bound by the bonds of fate itself.

Nayatra smiled, remembering Ingun’s story, and said with restraint:

– I think so too, but you know that I’m not going to fall in love with you, right?

– Don’t worry. I am not Carrack.

He was an orc, but his wives were representatives of completely different races.

– Yeah, – the girl agreed again.

They were pleased to see how the work was in full swing under the setting sun.

***

Time has passed pretty quickly. After a month’s vacation, Karrak returned to the palace with his wives. Seeing the relaxed face of his assistant, Ingun was finally able to find peace.

Coronation invitations have been sent out throughout the Demon World.

Both Baikal, which was responsible for the restoration of the Aegis Gate, and Viktor, who spent almost six months in the western regions, arrived.

Victor missed almost all the most important events that determined the fate of the Demon World, and therefore his presence was slightly unusual, but no one was worried about this.

Due to the upcoming wedding ceremonies, which were supposed to take place a month after the coronation, a very lively atmosphere reigned in the castle.

As many as three weddings were planned, and therefore the feast promised to stretch for as many as several months.

…

The night before the coronation.

Ingun stood beside Zephyr on the dark terrace.

The 2nd Prince was the only one who did not declare his support for Ingun, but he arrived anyway. This act alone clearly indicated his intentions.

– The Demon King… If Abamama decided so – so be it.

Zephyr, who was the most powerful prince before Ingun, knew a lot. He knew about the Demon King’s illness and the secret of Caitlyn’s birth, and even the fact that Ingun was not the Demon King’s real son.

Until today, however, he has not uttered a word. Zephyr was silent.

This was related to the previous Demon King.

Zephyr was a proud member of the royal family. He had no desire to challenge his father’s will. Moreover, he had one conviction.

– The Demon King should be the most powerful creature in the Demon World. The Demon King is the one who protects the Demon World.

This is why Zephyr is back.

After hearing Zephyr’s story, Ingun smiled. He tried to hold back, but the corners of his mouth still crept up.

Zephyr frowned.

– Be vigilant. You must maintain your position as the strongest in the Demon World.

It was a warning that everything could change if Zephyr gets stronger, but Ingun’s smile remained hanging on his face.

The point was not at all that Ingun was sure that he was the embodiment of a deity, and therefore could always defeat Zephyr.

“This is great.”

Ingun stood next to Zephyr. It was hard to compare this Zephyr with the brutal killer that led to the Day of Massacre. Ingun continued to smile, and Zephyr narrowed his eyes in concern.

Ingun laughed and reassured his brother.

The night has passed, and the clear morning of the coronation day has come.

***

Absolutely everyone got together. Lords, various officials and influencers from other areas lined up to the left and right of the red carpet leading to the altar.

Ingun, who was waiting for the beginning of the ceremony, looked at the friendly faces. They were on the street, not indoors, and everything was different here, and therefore he could not feel nostalgia.

– This outfit still shakes me, – the orc grumbled, pulling back the collar of his black suit.

Without answering, Ingun stood up.

– Exit of the 9th Prince, – announced Isabella, standing behind the podium.

This was the last time he was officially named the 9th Prince. This fact should have caused joy, but Ingun could not shake off a little regret.

When Ingun stepped onto the red carpet, Karrak modestly followed behind him, and those who stood to his right and left bowed their heads.

Ingun saw Ferocious Eyes and Vandal. He also saw Nayatra and the children of the concubines.

The charming Felicia, Caitlin and Anastasia were waiting for him at the altar. Felicia, as always, was dressed in a red dress with a high degree of openness, while Caitlin was wearing a blue dress that left an extremely pleasant impression. Obviously, Chris had covered her shoulders.

Anastasia, who was standing next to them, was dressed all in white and looked like a real goddess.

Felicia’s laughing eyes could be seen from under the fan. Caitlin giggled, and Anastasia, smiling, went to Ingun.

Next to the altar with a crown in his hands stood the Duke’s Sword.

This was a new crown created by Amita especially for today. The raccoon definitely became a slave to Heavenly Wine, and therefore agreed to do it, although he beat his tail on the ground for a long time.

It was a joyous day, and Ingun provided Amita with enough Heavenly Wine to make him smile happily.

And so, even now, its effect continued. Despite the fact that Amit was wearing a collar, he sat at the feet of the Duke’s Sword and wagged his tail with a happy look.

Behind Amita and the Duke’s Sword stood smiling Diana.

– Go, – Karrak quietly whispered to him, stopping in front of the altar.

Ingun turned to his assistant and nodded.

And then Ingun began to climb to the altar. Felicia, Caitlin, and Anastasia followed him, heading towards the Duke’s Sword, who stood with a crown at the highest point of the podium.

Throne of the Demon King…

Ingun inherited it from Mithra. The previous Demon King was always silent, but never heartless. Mitra has always worried about this world and his children.

Defender of the Demon World… He was the real keeper of the Demon World.

Felicia’s eyes were moist. Ingun carefully wiped them away, and then stood in front of his throne and looked at his subjects.

– How great, sir, – said the suddenly appearing Green Wind.

Due to the fact that she was elevated to the rank of Apostle especially for this occasion, Green Wind looked like a goddess. Although she was not a queen or a concubine, the keeper was very sensitive to such things, and it was important for her to be with Ingun at this moment.

– My lord.

A woman in white appeared in front of Ingun and took a golden crown from the hands of the Duke’s Sword. Conquest looked directly at Ingun and quietly said:

– Punishment, obedience, control.

This was the true power of the Conquest. Conquest bowed to Ingun, and then placed a golden crown on his head.

This was the birth of a new Demon King.

The queens of the former Demon King looked at Ingun with a mixture of regret and joy. Chris and Sylvan applauded loudly, and Baikal smiled. Victor clapped his hands awkwardly too, but no one paid any attention to him. This prince is still going through a period of adaptation.

Zephyr smiled wryly and clapped his hands too. Altesia laughed and reached out to hug him, and Locke just stood silently next to them.

– Ingun, – said Felicia, carefully taking Ingun’s hand.

Ingun forced an awkward smile and replied:

– Don’t overdo it.

– Okay, Shutra.

She recognized his real name, but that didn’t change anything. This Ingun remained the same Ingun with whom she met near the Red Lightning tribe. He was the one Felicia loved from start to finish.

Caitlin saw what Felicia had done and reached for Ingun’s other hand.

The Demon King laughed and asked the girl:

– Nuna, can I ask you something?

It seemed to him that this was the most appropriate moment for such a request. Felicia laughed, knowing what he meant.

The Green Wind cast a displeased glance at them, and Anastasia just shook her head.

Caitlyn’s cheeks flushed slightly.

– The shutter is amazing, – the girl muttered quietly, smiling sweetly.

Ingun kissed her forehead. And then, after kissing Felicia, he raised his eyes to the sky.

It was a happy ending that completely turned the ending of the Knights Saga upside down.

He crushed this ending with his own hands.

Ingun chuckled.
