Two days had effortlessly gone by, and the news had spread across the kingdom. Everyone was aware of the King's death; the reason given was his illness.
That was exactly what Queen Elizabeth wanted and had planned for, so she made sure it was the news that reached everyone. And they all believed it.
The abrupt news caused waves throughout the kingdom and in the neighbouring kingdoms as well. All were talking about it.
In the same manner, Queen Elizabeth had already gotten everything ready for her coronation as the new ruler of the kingdom.
Within a matter of three days, she held a grand coronation banquet. She sent out invitations and arranged the hall. Everything needed was set. And in three days, it was held.
Queen Elizabeth stood before the nobles who had honoured the invitation. And so she was crowned before all as the new ruler of Valencrest.
