The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 222 THE BLOOD OATH ON THE HILL OF KANAYA
"...Will His Majesty be stripped off as a candidate for the ruler of the 3 kingdoms?" ask Gibson, looking forward to the worry. His voice did not sound calm.
"I have to answer what if you all know?" dhafin said like confused what to say.
What Gibson had been worried about for these few days had been answered with Dhafin's remarks just now. That was like asking. But that speech was the answer to his question.
Dhafin was not willing or refused to become a ruler in the Kingdom of the Chaotic Blood Country, especially in the Centauri Palace.
Suspicion and worry that Gibson had talked with Hendry. And it turns out Hendry felt the same worry. Even Hendry said with regret and disappointment.
"His Majesty is a man who deserves to be ruler, but he does not want to be ruler...."
It turns out that Gibson and Hendry's concerns also happened to Brian, Aziel, Keenan, and it seems that all the knights of Centauri Palace who participated with Dhafin took the mission in the Amerta Kingdom.
Even Keenan and Aziel had talked about it in the middle of their errands. And Aziel still had time to say as he ordered.
"We must find a way for His Majesty to remain the ruler...."
With the unavailability of Dhafin to be king in the Kingdom of Bentala has become a suspicion for them. Although Dhafin reasoned that it was already the destiny of the Sky Sovereign.
And they do believe in that. And believe also if fate determines that Prince Revan who became the King of the Kingdom of Bentala.
With the greatness of Dhafin sealing the memory of someone making each of them seem to agree about a thing, that of course Dhafin has a greater prowess than that to carry out his intentions.
He does not want to be a ruler. That meant that one day he would leave them all without a true ruler....
Gibson slumped down on his knees on the ground. Brian, Aziel, and all of the elite knights of Centauri Palace caught up not long after.
Jarrel Cs, Marlon Cs as well as 60 formidable knights did not really understand what had happened before. But one thing they caught from this moment that Dhafin was not willing to become the ruler of the 3 kingdoms.
Without much thought they all immediately turned to their knees on the ground almost simultaneously, as a form of pleading for Dhafin to cancel his intention.
The action was also in accordance with what the 9 elite knights of Centauri Palace wanted.
While Dhafin, seeing their actions all beyond his expectations, obviously made him very surprised not to play.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" dhafin exclaimed in shock. "Wakeup! It's inappropriate for all of you to do that to me!"
But no one rose to stand up to ignore the request of Dhafin who pitched the order. Even Gibson, after summoning his sword, quickly placed one of the sharp sides of his sword around his neck.
This Gibson crazy action was also done by Brian, Aziel and 6 other Centauri Palace elite knights. Even followed by Jarrel Cs, Marlon Cs, and 60 tough knights without much consideration, without asking first.
"Hey! Stop doing it!"
Dhafin was more and more shocked by their crazy actions. He did not think that they could go that far as to do recklessness.
The action carried out by nine colleagues alone has made it heart gymnastics. These were even the other knights to follow along as well.
So that a scene like this makes the atmosphere turn terrible, turning into horror.
Dhafin had understood very well what the intention behind their crazy actions was. It forces him not to refuse to be a ruler.
Then what should he do?
★☆★☆
"Even more, it means life to us" Gibson said in a heartfelt tone, "if Your Majesty will no longer be our leader and will leave us."
"Who said I left you?" dhafin said as if to explain. "I don't want to be the ruler of the Centauri Palace. But that doesn't mean I'm leaving you."
"Your Majesty said that being the ruler of the 3 kingdoms is a predetermined destiny," Brian said as he reminded. "Is His Majesty going against destiny?"
"Actually I am still not sure if I am destined to become the ruler of the 3 kingdoms" said Dhafin. "I want to calm down first after the business of seizing the Kingdom of Amerta and the Kingdom of Lengkara is finished."
"That means His Majesty will leave us without a true ruler" Aziel said in a mourning manner. Only this time her tone of voice could change.
"Prince Aziel!" Dhafin turned to look at the ice cube youth. "You are the candidate of the true ruler of the Kingdom of Lengkara. Take it easy, I will still help you as hard as you can to reclaim his kingdom."
"And you, Brian!" Dhafin turned to look at Brian. "We will soon seize this kingdom, and you will become its ruler in place of His Majesty King Darian."
"It seems that His Majesty is sticking to His Majesty's stance," Brian said in another tone, "and not caring about our lives that we risked for His Majesty to remain our ruler."
"All right then...."
In fact, what exactly were thought by them, Jarrel Cs, Marlon Cs and 60 knights instead followed as well until this second.
While Dhafin, his pair of eyes almost never escaped observing the swords that were ready to slit the throats of the knights.
If he did not immediately give a quick and precise decision, of course soon he would see the corpses of the formidable knights lying in this place. Hence....
"Good! Alrighty! I will fulfill your request!" dhafin exclaimed quickly and loudly enough. "Stop your actions!"
At once Dhafin's call made the swords that were about to slit their throats, now quickly stopped. After that, Gibson immediately said that he wanted to take an oath to Dhafin.
"Survive to remain a true ruler for us and will never leave us, Your Majesty!"
As they kept their sword eyes fixed on each other's necks, Dhafin had no other choice but to fulfill their request. Because if he stays insistent on defending his stance, they're really suicidal. How slicing!
Having said that he would fulfill the demands of the knights, Dhafin raised his right hand forward parallel to the face. It looks like the palm is open quite wide.
Then his left index finger scraped firmly on his right inner palm. So that scratches the wound a bit long and directly drain the blood. Then the blood fell dripping onto the grassy ground.
After clenching his palm strong enough, then Dhafin exclaimed quite loudly and loudly while facing towards the knights who were still kneeling.
"Listen to you all! I, Prince Ghavin Aldebaran, swear by the Lord of Heaven will be your leader forever!"
As soon as Dhafin finished taking the oath, lightning immediately struck several times at the end of the twilight, followed by the sound of lightning that was loud enough to thunder.
So great is the vow that Dhafin said that it has an effect on nature. It indicates that Dhafin really sincerely took the oath.
It was not until the long wait of all those knights, quickly sheathed their respective swords, then scratched their palms without hesitation.
So that blood flowed quite a lot, then dripped down on the grassy ground in that place, south of the top of Kanaya Hill.
After that, they all clenched their palms, then lifted up high. While their blood still flowed.
Then their call was heard loud enough and loudly to swear allegiance to Dhafin until the end of their lives, giving up their body and soul entirely for their loyalty.
After that, it did not take long for lightning to return several times, then greeted with the sound of lightning bolts that were quite thunderous to be able to deafen the ears.
While Dhafin, seeing their faithful vows that are so sincere, clearly very moved made. So he couldn't help it if his eyes were glazed.
He felt sure that the blood oath they made was very sincere. And the Lord of Heaven must have received their oath of allegiance.
Please note that this blood oath is indeed commonly done by knights to declare their willingness to hold a position or declare loyalty.
While in the ranks of 50 formidable knights, there was a beautiful girl, one of the formidable knights, who was unable to hold back her tears.
He was not crying out of regret for declaring an oath of allegiance. But he cried because he was happy to take an oath of loyalty to a young man who had been idolized since childhood.
He was determined inwardly to declare his allegiance to Dhafin. Even he was willing to become his servant or slave for the sake of his loyalty to the idol.
Please note that the beautiful girl was one of the participants of the Royal Child Martial Tournament long ago. He belonged to the Orian Louise Team group as well as the cousin of the young man who was already one of the Centauri Palace's elite knights.
That girl was once Dhafin's opponent in the preliminary round.
★☆★☆
After the vow statement ritual was completed, after Dhafin was introduced to the 6 knights who had been with Brian, here are some things still related to leadership issues, he said, Dhafin began discussing the next steps on the mission to be carried out.
When it was already into the night. But the people seemed to know no time, they continued to hold negotiations.
There is one important information obtained by Tim Brian while running the task. The information is the movement of the troops of the Kingdom of Lengkara who are heading to a place.
The place in question is Tolucan Hill. The intention of the royal forces heading to the hill was none other than to attack the opposition forces based behind the hill.
Hearing this information Dhafin immediately took it seriously. The problem is that the headquarters or village behind the hill is the headquarters of Princess Athalia, one of his future wives.
So Dhafin immediately told him that he knew the place to be attacked by the troops of the Kingdom of Lengkara, because he had been there. Briefly explain about the place.
After that they planned to go there the next day after visiting the formidable knights who were still at the southeastern end of the Amerta Kingdom.
