100 days after the explosions – Palace

Day of prince coronation

After reluctantly accepting the job, his coronation was announced to the public, with surprising positive response

Part of the reason was because it was announced he invented the potion capable of learning inner mana, but it was mostly thanks to his achievements in the few weeks he ruled as a replacement for his parents

Besides, the story where he was hiding his talents was becoming more believable each passing day, even though it also became more believable he was behind the explosion in the temple

Basically, the people were happy of having someone in the throne, and were afraid he would do something if they complained, so everyone unanimously agreed to just celebrate and look the other way about the explosion

It was definitely the duke and a conservative party part of the Zergeit empire under Generall Rexford, no doubt about it. They were even publicly punished for their actions and were paying their sentence in prison

It was definitely them, ok!?

So no one ever complained

As for the military, they were happy with his achievements in the war, the mages were thankful for his inner mana potion(since it elevated their status) and the nobles keep they mouth shut since the prince had dirt on them

Happy ending, right?

Of course it was, it could be perfectly seen in the prince face whit his grandiose smile. It was definitely NOT a forced smile, of course not

Why would he be having a forced smile? It was a dream come true, almost like a fairy tale. The unremarkable prince, the super hyper mega-underdog ended up beating all the monsters and won the crown

With a story like that, how could he have a forced smile?

Besides, all kind of people had come to congratulate in his coronation

There were the elves and dwarves representatives that came for the first time to a human coronation and were received as the guests of honor. It was something deserving to go into the history books

There was also the prince sister Alice, future queen of Zergeit empire and his Fiance prince Damian. It was like a romantic story told by a bard where love surpassed even the enmity between two countries that have been going on for centuries. When it was announced their engagement, most of the country cried, but they let her pursue her love with a blessing. Besides, they publicly apòllogiced for the rash actions general Rexford did behind the country's back, blaming his fear of allowing the two countries to work together for now on

Mix the two together stories, and this looked like the start of a beautiful friendship between the four kingdoms

Besides, all the major powers inside the country were present to congratulate the future king

The king and queen were present, after previously apologizing to the public for not showing up, saying they wanted to test how the prince would work as a replacement without them watching his back, and since he did such a wonderful job, he was chosen as the successor

Some people asked them to kept at it for a couple of years more, but they refused by saying they wanted to give the next generation a chance, so those people reluctantly agreed in the end

It also helped that another guest of honor was the old man, that was allowed to be inside the palace thanks to his years of service in the mad king times. Most people were surprised not only at the sudden appearance of a legendary figure but also that he was a friend of the prince, making the mysteries behind the prince increase even more

The general and the archmage were also present, congratulating the prince for the wonderful job he had done so far, and that they were looking forward to working together with him

There were also the nobles, congratulating him for his coronation, and some of then even asking if he wanted to take their daughter as a mistress

Finally, by his side were present his fiance Elena, his new adopted daughter Lina, and his two bodyguards Aria and Susan

And outside the palace, there were thousands of citizens celebrating the coming of a new king, with hundreds of soldiers guarding all the exits to make sure no one tried to run aw... I mean, get inside unnoticed

This day would mark the end of Black Sheep Prince

And would begin the story of the Black Sheep King

The end
