"The king is descending on the Throne", declared the soldier of the kingdom with a loud voice.

The parade begins.

All the villagers and every member of the cities gathered in front of the Castle to watch the parade.

The parade had placed all the soldiers with elephants and horse walking. In the midst leads The Golden Chariot of the king.

The loud clashing cymbals were heard and all the soldiers and every single minister gathered in the Arch of the Dome which was known as the 'The Great Judiciary'

All the church priests and every official member of the cathedral took the seats assigned only to higher authorities.

It was The top seats in the sideways, which are raised at the high position only sealed for the authorities, and at the lowest, lead the villagers and the city people.

As the Parade stopped, all the people quickly took their seats according to their perspectives.

There was a pole which was situated at the centre of the Arch and lower of the central hole, which surrounded the painting of the swords held by the Angels, and there came the Commander of the King to host the flag.

The Flag is hoisted, which signifies the king is entering the Arch.

Then the High Priest of the Cathedral stood up, then followed by the Ministers and all the higher authorities.

Then, slowly, the Arch was silent, and the voice of the king entering the Arch echoed.

Everybody's eyes followed the entrance; the powerful shadow stepped forward.

"The King Arrived," one man said in the front row.

"Pity that he has been alone for the last few years!" Said the woman at the corner.

"Mrs Blackwood, the linen looks fine like a wine!" said the woman in the middle row.

"You are Right! Mrs Douglas, too bad it's of no use when he doesn't want any mistress!" Said the lady beside him.

"May The King Be Blessed, and The Fruit his daughter will bear be Blessed!" the old lady was impressed with the king's firm decision throughout the year.

"You never know, Mom, what's beneath the castle!" said the envious son of the old lady.

The King entered with the soldier surrounding him.

He wore a colour Mantle, which had golden work on the border, inside the combination of golden and white garments which done its finishing with heavy gold ornaments.

He was followed by the Head of the Cathedral and The Chief Minister of the authorities.

As they sat on the stage of the Arch, everybody sat down and held their breaths.

The Cathedral Head 'Antonio Dave Ellis' got up and bowed his head to the king. Then he looked forward and walked downstairs with the help of the Alter Boy.

"Hail To The Kings Of Heaven

For Thy Lord Has Created This World

Bless our decision and The Future

Protect us and Bless us!"

Just as he opened his eyes and looked at everyone, they took their seat, and then he looked beside the altar boy who gave him the scroll.

He bowed again back to the king and then began to read it.

"Today we gathered here for an official announcement!" Mr. Ellis announced.

"We have come to the conclusion that since the King has been diagnosed with a very serious illness!"

The people began to chat with one another, and this created a disturbance in the Dome.

"We are worried about what it takes; since the king has been blessed with Princess Catherine, we are soon going to hold a coronation ceremony.

We ask this villager to be prepared for the annual fest, and according to the rules, the Princess needs to find her perfect match to inherit the kingdom.

We also ask for privacy. Certain things will be announced in the newspapers.

Thank you" He walked in and took his seat.

"What do you mean?"

"We shall not allow Princess Catherine to take over the kingdom!"

"We protest!"

Everybody began to create a disturbance, protesting against the decision made by the authorities.

"All the people need to obey at once" King got up from his chair and made everyone quiet.

"I know you all love me but this decision is made under the supervision of my condition. I promise to be with you all and guide you. That's why we have decided to let my daughter take over the throne.

I promise she will be like me and she is only going to rule the kingdom despite her marriage he will still hold the responsibility for the future of my beloved city"

The crowd clapped, and then the King got up and bowed his head in front of everyone.

Leaving the officials behind.
