84 Dethroning an Autocrat 2 : Checkmate (2/2)
”Just use my powers that's all...”
”Wait... I- is this 'Requiem Aranea's Dark By Default? A- are you perhaps Lacrimosa's chosen vessel?”
”Oh-ho... I'm very surprised as to how widespread her name is... Yes, I indeed am her representative in this war... Too late to realize though.”
”TSK! THIS CAN'T BE! MEN! FREE YOURSELVES AND KILL THIS CRUEL OVERLORD!”
”It's basically impossible... Now then, that I have won... I presume you kept the negotiation terms to the end right?”
”As if! I am King Aurelius! Supreme Leader of a Sovereign Kingdom! You have no authority to do this to me! And I bare the authority to make any negotiations null at will!!!!!!!!!”
”And you also have no authority to torture my race, 'King of a Sovereign Kingdom'... Oh, I can't also forget... I'm adding something in the terms. There are no such rules that say that I can't right?”
”No, you can't!” As if he introspected as to what term I would like to add, he defied...
”What's this? Want me to snap a thousand heads from your army with a single snap?”
”I don't care about them! All that's important is me and my position!” He answered shredding his true autocratic figure...
”Hmmm... You heard your King loud and clear right? Like, come on... You might not be that stupid...” I shouted to his men in a way that all of them could hear.
And yet, they, as well as the mages, were unable to say a word...
”I guess you won't be needing this anymore then...” I then approached him myself, took his crown, and you better not think that I will wear it...
From the Celtic cross on my right, I then utilized its ready darkness to form a Jet-black flame and it was so... and then I let it enshroud the expensive-looking crown disintegrating it to tiny pieces of obliterated ash.
”Y-you!! WHAT DID YOU DO!?” He then struggled from the incarceration of the chains as he saw his symbol of authority being burned by unquenchable black flames, but was unable to break free...
”You're so noisy. Come to think of it... Every King needs their beauty rest, right?” Using the chain on his neck, almost like a dog lash... I snapped his head in a way that would make him fall to deep sleep. Relax... I can't let him die an easy death... just yet.
Well... that was easy... Easier in fact than defeating the hero, the exiled priest, and their few assassins.
Now, this is how you dethrone a King... Narcissistic or not... First. Let him realize how trashy his philosophy is. Second. Disarm his vast array of armies. Third. Kill his image, or at maximum, do it physically, and lastly, take his filthy crown off his head...
But, as I was still busy with the performance of my dancing puppets and the shamed King...
”Master... I sense someone coming at a certain speed. Recent Coordinates are 10.519181, 123.962982”
”Who?”
”Collecting database... Database collected... She's a human female, Master...”
”Eh?”
