The Thousand Year Dynasty
27. Rhapsodia Kingdom
Two days after they managed to unseal the magic from the walls of the Cave of the Star Alcoves, Lucia finally held a meeting to determine a new name and confirm their territory.
The meeting, held in the Central city meeting hall, was attended by all parliamentarians and cabinet members.
Lucia appeared to be standing on a small podium in front of everyone attending the meeting.
"So as you know before. That this area has begun to grow. This region is no longer a city, not even the equivalent of an Estate" Lucia said. The others seemed to be listening.
"Therefore, it is time for us to establish an even larger government. A government" Lucia searched for a moment. Some people sounded excited to hear that. Some started whispering to others.
"We need to tell other territories that we are now sovereign as a kingdom. And also ready to make equal cooperation. Or even war" Lucia continued. "And as we've talked about before, I will rise as the leader of our new kingdom" he said then firmly.
"Of course by still implementing our previous system of government. My decision will still be through the lawmakers" Lucia added.
The room was getting noisy, as almost everyone was talking simultaneously.
"And if anyone objected to it, raise your voice now. Not to be afraid, we will talk again about the reason and the way out" Lucia again said firmly, which made the room become quiet again.
Everyone just fell silent. No one raised their hands. Some even look proud to smile.
"If no one raises a hand, it means we all agree that Lucia will serve as queen of our new kingdom" Orland spoke up to break the silence.
And the room started to sound noisy again with an agreed answer being uttered simultaneously by everyone.
Lucia simply smiled seeing everyone agree and no one opposed her to being their leader.
"Alright then" Lucia took over the room again. "Now we will begin to think of a name for this new kingdom. Because to avoid problems with the Elbrasta kingdom, also because this is not just my kingdom, so I do not want to name this kingdom and region by the name of my family" he added.
"Also we won't call him Pharos anymore. Because we have no roots in the Pharos civilization. We are something new. Therefore we will also make a new name for this region and kingdom" said Lucia continued. "So this time we'll determine the name of this region"
Everyone began to be heard talking to each other with the person next to them. And make the room noisy again.
"If you are, princess? Do you have a proposal?" Dirk suddenly asked from the left bench in front of Lucia.
Everyone immediately stopped their words, to listen to the opinion of their new queen.
"I don't have any ideas at all" Lucia replied. "But at least I want the name of this kingdom to be related to the diversity and prosperity that we have" he said later.
"I agree. Because later the name of this kingdom will continue to be remembered by everyone, all the time" said Helen agreed to the opinion and wishes of Lucia.
"Well, you're optimistic" Aksa said next to Nata on the front bench in front of Lucia.
"Do you have any ideas for the name of this kingdom, Aks?" Lucia asked Aksa.
"Hm.. how about the Thousand Year Dynasty?" Reply Aksa with a tone full of vigor.
"You call that a name for the kingdom?" Nata immediately said it looked unacceptable.
"Can anti-mainstream" said Aksa quickly.
"But it's the ancient language of the Elves, we must not take sides with one of the races" Amithy immediately opposed.
"How about Ultima? The name of the highest and greatest magic" Ende suddenly spoke up.
"Good name" looks only Parpera nods and thinks the name given Ende is a good name.
"How about Cerulean?" Haldin. "It was the name of a sky god on the east coast" he added.
"No. Better Themis. The name of the god on the west coast who governs the work of the earth and in the sky" Katarina chimed in with a high tone of voice that seemed unwilling to budge from Haldin, while standing up raising her hand.
"For Dryad, brother. Stop it" Ellian immediately pulled Katarina's body back to sit with a slightly embarrassed face.
"How about a combination of race names?" Loujze's proposal sounded doubtful.
"Like what? Maelyll?" Sounds like Deuxter didn't take it.
"True, don't joke around. How about a Lightning Star. It was the name of the most shining gem that could only be found in the crater of the volcano" Go looked eagerly put forward a proposal.
"Phoenix, a mythological bird who never died, I think is suitable for the name of a great kingdom" Selene next to Huebert also proposed.
"How about Nesoi?" And it continues for quite a while.
Almost all the names mentioned no one got approval even a quarter of the number of people who attended in the room. Or just to attract the attention of Lucia was not there.
"What about Rhapsodia?" Rafa suddenly spoke from next to Luque. "Besides the name was the name of this place before the Pharos civilization, it was also a gita of thanksgiving to the gods. Which means representing glory and prosperity because of a gratitude gita. It also represents a diverse and harmonious race. Like a scale in a song" he explained then at length.
"Well, that's exactly it. It used to be like that the meaning behind the name Rhapsodia was used for this land" Luque chimed in.
"It seems like the name is suitable for us to use" Lucia looks interested in the name proposed by Rafa. "What do you think? Rhapsody. Those who agree to raise their hands" he added, raising their hands.
And as soon as Lucia raised her hand, one by one everyone in the room also started to raise their hands.
"It seems, we have already found a name for our new kingdom" Orland said after noticing the number of hands raised in the room. Almost everyone raised their hands.
"All right then. We have decided that the name of this new kingdom is Rhapsodia" Lucia said later. And everyone was seen starting to clap and cheer in joy.
Shortly thereafter, the door of the room opened. A soldier seemed to rush into the room.
"Mr princess!" the soldier looked down respectfully at Lucia in haste.
"Why? What the hell is going on?" Lucia looked anxious, like everyone else in the room.
"At the north gate, the noble queen Elbrasta and her two sons are at the north gate" the soldier reported.
"Aunt Daisy?!"
