After the incident, Xyon and Arex decided to return to their home planet, Planet Palladina. And once again, the planet mourns the death of their leader. The sad news that was heard all over, even one by one the leaders of other planets gave cosmic letters containing condolences.
The entire population wore black ribbons on their arms, while those who worked for the palace were required to wear black during the forty days of national mourning.
Some high-ranking officials have begun to question Xyon's ability to protect the planet's leader, and there has even been heated debate about it. They even wondered who would be the next leader, because Anexta himself was dead, temporarily … the officials did not know that he actually had a child hidden inside Planet Earth.
“Mendiang Her Majesty The Queen has no successor, how is this? He has never even been married!” one of the high officials.
“Former Princess Ryena is also gone, after all, she is just an adopted child, right?” ask another official.
And thus, officials and nobles began to speculate on who would be the successor to the throne of Palladina kingdom.
After three days of Anexta's death, Xyon is seen walking towards a room. He then opened the door and entered it quickly, then closed the door again.
“Laci ... Which side?” mumbling slowly.
He then walked to a desk in front of him, and began to open one by one all the drawers located there, eventually, he finds a cosmic letter that looks like an envelope.
Xyon then took the cosmic letter while muttering, “Is this his will? Alright, I will read it later, after forty days of national mourning have passed. I'll save this cosmic letter first.”
He then put the thing in his pants pocket, and in a hurry, he walked out of the room, not forgetting to close the door, then walked quickly to the other room.
Forty days were finally gone. All the people whose status was officials or nobles, or even ordinary residents of the entire planet that existed within the Metal Galaxy, flocked to the royal palace of Palladina. Xyon invited them all, to bear witness to the reading of the will of the late Her Majesty Queen Anexta.
That day, the palace became very crowded, because the enthusiasm of people from various directions or planets, came with curiosity who would be the next leader after Anexta. The main room of the palace was full, although not so crowded. Several people were seen gathering outside the room, even outside the palace.
After waiting for a while, Xyon was finally seen walking into the main hall of the palace, along with the four subordinate generals. All eyes looked towards him. He then ascended the altar with two thrones behind him.
"Her Majesty the King and Queen, princes, princesses, officials and nobles as well as commoners from all corners of the Metal Galaxy. Thank you for taking your precious time, for being here and listening to the contents of the will of the late Queen Anexta" exclaimed Xyon.
He then grabbed a cosmic paper from inside his pants pocket and took it out. The cosmic paper then floated before Xyon and opened from its own fold, then Anexta's face appeared there and everyone immediately stared at him.
"I, Her Majesty Queen Anexta of Palladina, record with my own hands and mouth in this will. Perhaps, I was already dead when you saw me now in this cosmic paper. Alright, with this will, I order that, one, if I have gone first and have not yet had a legitimate descendant, then I hereby declare Senior General Xyon to be the leader, so, in my stead, then, the title I gave him was Prime Minister, with the same obligations as His Majesty the King's title, but some of his rights would be restricted,” exclaimed Anexta who was in the cosmic paper.
Everyone who listened to it, was immediately shocked, including Xyon himself. However, they still paid attention to the cosmic paper.
“He is not allowed to use interplanetary trains, and is not allowed to be crowned king. Second, General Arex, General Weim, General Sey, and General Nordian, all four will rise to the rank of Senior General, and I assigned the four of them to accompany and guard and supervise Prime Minister Xyon in the course of his duties. Thirdly, if I already have a legitimate descendant, then the first and second points will not apply, but my legitimate descendant will, who has an official royal title, will not, he is therefore entitled to this throne, with the title of His Majesty the King or Her Majesty the Queen. Thus this will I make with my own hands, I hope this order to be executed immediately so that there is no leadership vacuum,” exclaimed Anexta again in the cosmic paper.
After that, the cosmic paper suddenly fell down, and Xyon caught it, then folded it back and put it in his pants pocket again. Everyone fell silent, even glaring towards Xyon. The Senior General who is now the Prime Minister even glared, because he did not believe what his late queen had spoken about in the will.
"Should I tell you the truth if Her late Majesty Queen Anexta already had a child? Oh, my God, how is this? Those officials won't like me. I've never led a planet!” xyon murmured in his heart.
After a while, he then let out a long sigh and began to dare himself to look back at the people inside the main hall, with an awkward face.
Suddenly, Arex was standing under the altar smiling, then exclaiming, "Well, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the new leader of Planet Palladina, Prime Minister Xyon!"
Then Arex turned his body and bowed before Xyon, and to honor the will of his late queen. Everyone who was there began to follow his attitude.
“Congratulations to Prime Minister Xyon!” they exclaimed, although some people put on a hostile face while bowing their heads.
After hearing the congratulations from everyone who was inside the room, Xyon could only sigh deeply, then bow before them for a while.
