The Young King's Great Ambition
Chapter 11: Keeping the Secret
Felis and Feona look happy, but they both plan to follow Fermund to see his mother's funeral.
They went to a special cemetery for the royal family, the location was behind the palace, they walked there with butler's grandfather.
They followed the funeral procession with the Royal Guard and other soldiers.
Although Fermund held a proper burial for his pama, there was no high monument with the engraving of his name and the engraving of his pama's face.
Unlike the tombs of his father and mother and members of the royal family who had died before.
Because everyone still does not know about the coup that Fermund did, they the people of the kingdom must think his mother is fine in the palace as if nothing happened.
Therefore if he made a monument to his mother's tomb, everyone would know, and the hard-earned secrets would be unraveled prematurely.
After the funeral was over, Felis and Feona intended to travel all over the palace, they wanted to reminisce about the palace life they used to live.
As for Fermund, he returned to the throne room, he just sat back on his throne, he returned silent without a sound, enjoying his solitude.
Before long, all the nobles that Fermund had summoned had come, Hermund seeing that there were some people who did not seem to be part of his alliance, they were now in front of Fermund.
Everyone was surprised to see that all the floors in the throne room were so slippery as if they had been cleaned completely, they greeted Fermund.
"Hail your honor,"
All the nobles bowed to Fermund.
"You've come, and after I've seen many other nobles, you seem to have decided, to side with me, good"
"Thank you, your majesty, we were all in the beginning the opposition from the noble faction that was close to the king, but now we are on your side"
"Yes, that's right" the nobles said
"Your highness, they're making a persuasive gesture to all the neutral nobles to side with you"
From behind the nobles, butler's grandfather arrived explaining.
"In general, all the nobles were under the control of the king, but they were free, unfettered,"
"True, their title will be revoked, they will lose status, but not all kings can do this, if the king is weak, he will be difficult to move" said Fermund
The nobles also talked to each other about it, so Fermund stood up from his throne and gave orders.
"I give the order, tell all the nobles, they must direct their allegiance to me, and also prepare some things for the purge"
"Oh, your honor!"
All the nobles understood what Fermund wanted, they loudly received orders.
Now the throne room is quiet again, there is only Fermund and his butler grandfather.
He told butler's grandfather to return to the mansion in preparation for the transfer of many items to the palace.
He walked along the street looking at some of the rooms in the palace, sometimes he stopped by a room to look at it, after which he went to his room.
When he entered it, he saw a wide room with a large mattress, and a lamp bright enough to illuminate one room.
In the room there is not only a bed, there is also a large closet, there is also a sofa and a low table there.
He opened the window, the light came in and shone on the room.
From the window, he saw the garden, down there were some people who were carrying some goods, maybe the transfer of goods from the mansion had been sent to the palace.
Fermund still remembered very well the floor plan of this palace, he knew every location of all the rooms in the palace.
Tired of the view Fermund saw from the window, he wanted to see the view from the balcony on the tower.
He exited the palace building and climbed up the spiral staircase in the tower to reach the top floor.
Blowing wind began to feel when he was at the top, Vermund saw the view of the capital from there, he saw many houses and other buildings from far away, he also had a long city wall and encircled the city.
Fermund widened his hand, he felt the wind with his eyes closed, he was about to begin his dominance in the kingdom, his penance would begin after he finished some affairs.
