THE GREAT IMPERIUM

In a distant continental island somewhere in the western hemisphere, there is a kingdom


called New Galicia that was founded 1,300 years ago that unified the North and South lands by
the Great Warrior Kali Zybysko by its old codename Bisko. A place that is considered a paradise
haven due to the fauna and flora with minerals underneath with its soil. The country comprises
the majority of the island, and there is a Free City was called Milesville on the southeast coast
that independently ruled from the kingdom and they are also members of the World Government.
The official languages are English, French, and Spanish with the native indigenous languages
from the tribes of the Highlands. King Max V is the incumbent head of state and the 109th King
of the Galicians under the 700-year rule of the House of Bentham succeeded his father Leo XIV
with his wife, Queen Rica is known as the Pretty Queen who was the age 48, and heir apparent
Prince John who in the future as John XIV. But due to the extravagance of the elite members of
the society. The King was a tall man with 6’2 in height, in his age was 55 with fair-complexion,
he enjoys a lot of luxury with selfish demands, a fine person when showed up know that some
people know have a sinister attitude for the sake of the survival of his bloodline with Max I the
Great, his great ancestor and founder of the current dynasty.

The executive district has was the home of ministries and bureaus for the public services as
part of decentralization purposes. The social gap between rich and poor are wider in distribution
due to the excess use of public money and keep it in the Royal Treasury. The country’s financial
institution is one of the most secure places on Earth. It was guarded by the special force called
“Grant Guards” due to the Royal Grants are save for their expenditures. The poor are secluded
far away mostly in the countryside from Middleburg, the capital and the largest city. Everything
scenario in the capital was good to see for the tourists, elites, and diplomats, but not for the local
population as a whole due to promote the city tourism as gerrymandering. The main branches of
government aside from them are the National Assembly comprised of two chambers: the upper
chamber was the House of Nobles which exclusively for the elite and royal relatives. The lower
chamber was the House of Representatives, representing the people of different ethnic groups in
the country. The people called them “Voice of the voiceless” and allied with the general public
even though some of them are corrupt but it does not matter to them since many of the members
of the lower house have a good reputation for their public service.

On one summer day in the Palace known as July Palace, the King was prepared for his banquet
that many important figures will come in the greatest banquet in the nation’s history had
according to him. He was very delighted on that with the exclamation:

The King: “This is it! The Banquet!” He pronounced.


Queen Rica: “My dear, you are so much happy about it.” she reacts with a delightful tone.
The King: “Today is the joyful day for our country, for family, and our bloodline.”

The King’s family is composed of 5 children: Prince John (28), Princess Anne (24), Princess
Giselle (22), Princess Lisa (20), and Prince Louis (18). They have controlled state-controlled
companies as part of their stocks and grants of the treasury. The Palace has 95 rooms, 5 floors, 5
kitchens, 10 bathrooms, 7 secret escape routes, underground chambers for secrecy matters.

Princess Anne: I cannot believe that our father gonna spend public taxes. she exclaims.
Prince John: I understand what you feel. as he agrees to her sister.

The rest of the royal children are agreed and they are on the same page. Unbeknownst to them,
the King was a cold-heart personality that everything he can do for the sake of his goals. He will
put all the options on the table. The delegates from all over the world as diplomats are ready for
the banquet at the Grand Palace. The event was well-received coverage by the major media
outlets and newspapers, the public has unpopular opinions and feels embarrassed for their
country. They are preparing for the next few days in what was been the largest protests in their
history. Separatists are prepared also to attack the capital to make the King surrendered and
recognized their aspirations of their homeland. Some members of the National Assembly will not
attend the banquet as they supporting the people’s initiative. All preparations for the Great Feast
are completed and well-executed. The reformers are prepared their plan known as the “New
Initiative Plan”, a long-term plan to end tyranny in the kingdom and divide the continental island
called Ventura named after Saint Bonaventure, a Catholic mystic.

As the Road to Banquet Countdown goes by, the pro-independence groups have secretly met
in the Archbishop’s Palace with the event initiated by the Catholic Church since they are the only
well-known organization to have sanctuary refuge in their grounds and predominantly faith in
the country with 90.2% adherents. The Orthodox Churches have offered the same thing which
the groups appreciated and accepted the offers in the case of full-scale revolution takes place.
The National Party, Progressive Party, Federal Democratic Party, and Social Freedom Party have
representatives to attend the meeting and they discussed a lot of social issues and the future of
the Division Plan whereas the kingdom divide into 3 countries after the revolution to be
happened sooner not later. They give the government a surprise which they have never seen
before. The Church officials have full-pledged support for the revolution with advised to them
that humanity remains in their hearts as they know that the Pope has cautious stances about it.

The Protestants have mixed views on the rumors that were spread in their communities as they
do not want to involve in the dissent groups but they offer basic needs instead. Also, the same
views for the Buddhists, Jews, and Muslims since they fear unusual attacks and wider
discrimination in their communities as expected because of the nonsense paranoia from the
cronies of the King.
The chain of events are seen as an opportunity for pro-democracy advocates due to they want
to divide the country into 3 parts with the Free City to maintain its autonomy status and the
kingdom will be shrunk into its historical borders 700 years ago. They are prepared for the
biggest war that the country will be seen since the Global Wars happened decades ago. The King
and his royal cronies are not fully aware of what will happen soon even they have Imperium Pol.
The Royal secret intelligence agency collects data from many countries and to secure its interest
as the King expresses and said “I am happy that I will secure everything that I have!” and
eliminates the persons or groups against or block his way to retain his absolute or godly power.

His heir apparent was not feeling well about his father’s plan and he knows that there will be
severe consequences for the country due to he received the secret plans of the pro-democracy
figures that they have a revolution takes place in 3 days after the Banquet Night. He openly
supports them and the division plan as well. He promised that when will be the King, all their
aims will be granted, and make sure the country will respect the new nations will emerge and
helped them to recover from his father’s draconian motives. He vows for the people there will be
great changes against the cancers of the society. He talks to the international news outlets about
the future of the country and when his father learn about that, he was warned by:

The King: “If my son cannot shut his mouth, I will be the one who punishes him and I don’t
want him to gain sympathy from those people. This throne is mine! I will never get him my
way!”

The Prince reacts calmly and he stood firmly for what he said. He had his motto “Strong and
Free”. He calls for the people to be united and show support for those public servants who have
decency.

The Prince: “It symbolized that the country must be strong at all times and let the people have
freedom for their rights and not feeling that they are shackled in chains. The new dawn in the
country will happen shortly. The time is ticking down.” he concluded.

Many people praising his advocacy to change the system under the New Initiative Reforms that
his father, the King cannot do due to his ignorance, negligence, and selfishness with corruptive
attitude towards the society especially the unmarginalized sectors. Meanwhile at the Grand
Palace. Few hours left before the Banquet will begin, the King is so excited that this is the day he
waiting for. He gets most of the things he wanted during his reign except for Royal Harem that
bring pleasure adding to his luxurious life.

The King: The Banquet is on! There is no way can stop this! HAHAHAHAHA. How dare my
eldest bastard son to speak like that about my image! I will tolerate this matter since the Banquet
is ongoing but after that, he will pay for what he did to me. I regret that I raised an impertinent
fool like him.
The other members of the Royal Family including the Heir Prince are not feeling well about
the incoming event in which they have attended since they acceded to power. This year’s event is
considered very unique or peculiar to them. They feel something is wrong due to the His Royal
Highness attitudes in the recent weeks and days prior. They feel also the wrath of the people due
to overspending the taxpayer’s money into his pocket. The Royal Children have a meeting for
this personal matter:

Princess Anne: Our father is psycho and mass murderer!


Princess Giselle: I feel you about this since he had many secrets he did not tell us before.
Princess Lisa: I hate papa for this. I don’t want to kill us by the people we loved and served.
Queen Rica: My dear, I know the pain you got in your hearts but I feel it as well.
Prince Louise: We can help our country’s good future by helping our elder brother John.
3 Princesses: Yes we will help him against our father.
Queen Rica: If the revolution or civil war breaks out. We need to fled safety in the neighboring
countries and take refuge with the help of their officials or the secluded monasteries we know. I
do not want us to share the fate as Romanovs by the Soviets decades ago. We make sure our plan
will be smooth and inform your brother of this!
All children: Yes mother! We will!
Queen Rica: May the Lord be with you as always. As her smile of hope looks at the window.

The meeting ended satisfactorily and pray for their fate to God as they accept what will happen
to them. The diplomats and VIP guests have arrived in the five-star grand hotel called The
Imperium near the Grand Palace in a walk distance. They prepared their best suits and gowns to
showcase their personality and socializing. The coverage has been fully watched by the general
public. Many of the are feel ashamed of their King and they have the mindset to overthrow him
replaced by his son since he had a good reputation and has sympathy to the people. A few
minutes later, a Royal Guard announces that all the guests must go to the Palace for the event.
They ride their cars with some of the guests who have chosen to walk along the way to view the
scenery.

The Heir was closely watched as he watching the live TV coverage of the event. He was
dismay as disregard the situation of other sectors as a slap of their faces. As the general public is
concerns, the pro-independence advocates have prepared for their arms to fight for their
independence and fight for the fallen comrades all those years has been as serves as their
motivation and the good hope to reach the impossible goal.

The guests have arrived in the Social Hall of the Palace for the opening remarks made by the
King for the festive event. His entourage has prepared a speech for him as they will formally
introduce him. They have been looking up at the grand staircase which has Royal Guards on
each side of the staircases. As the Announcer that he will down the stairs, all the guests have
clapping as you feel that there is a joyous atmosphere in the Hall.

The Announcer announces his name and has an opening short remark:

The Announcer: Good evening to all of you, madame and gentlemen! Thank you for accepting
this invitation to the greatest banquet ever in this kingdom! I hereby introduced to all of you, The
His Highness, Max V of New Galicia.

He comes down the stairs facing the guests in the Hall and he speaks.

The King: “I, Max, the King of New Galicia from the House of Bentham with my titular styles:
The Protector of the Three Towers, Custodian of Two Holy Papal Churches, Guardian of the
Blue Mountain, Defender of the Christian Faith, The Pillar of the Poor, Emissary of Justice, The
Grand Prince of Middleburg, The Hero of Pillow Hills, Duke of Lunashire, Marquess of Borland,
Earl of Yellowshire, Count of Montefalco, the Knight of White Plains, Baron Emeritus,
Chancellor of Mazaredo and Spirit of the Nation. It is pleasure to meet you all and enjoy the
evening.”

The guests have clap of applause with wine toast and the celebration has started with a dancing
ballroom style and with some luxurious dishes full of chauffeurs serving them at each assigned
table. Little did they know that some pro-independence separatists have entered due to their
double agent status as one of the elites to overthrow the king to everyone’s surprise. They know
the castle’s floor plan and one of them informed that do not include the other members of the
royal family since they put their faith in the Heir Prince. The real target is to attack the king
which is the signal of the revolution in despite the plan will commence in 3 days after but they
want to change the schedule as the fate of the kingdom is at the stake. They are 75 of them out of
3,500 guests invited by the His Highness and ready to expose his dark side and secrets to the
world even some people worldwide have aware of his actions but not fully confirmed due to the
strict convey of the message that led to assassinations direct order from him for not getting the
message or news was spread in the outside world. For them, this is the day they want as they
seek justice and avenge for the victims. They have needed to pretend as socialites and allies of
the King to get the trust and know any information about him even the Cipher Pol, the world’s
intelligence agency of the World Government cannot decipher the communications around the
kingdom due to strict defense of firewall in their secret internet provider that maintains the
secrecy as well.

The King was sitting and flirting with other foreign beautiful ladies. He noticed there is
something wrong in the scene. Because the royal family was not on the premises as he wanted to
introduce to the guests as the rest of the family was gathering shelter in the El Monasterio de
Pastos Verdes or The Green Pasture Monastery located in Santa Martha Hills with the nearby
adjacent Estancia Plateau and Alfonso River. They see the national mountain in the whole island
landmass on the horizon is the Mount Azul Vista or Mount Blue View due to the blue hue when
the sun shines on its surroundings. The monastery was founded by the Franciscans during the
Castilian Occupation of Old Saxony (the former name of the kingdom) and one of the oldest
monasteries remains intact in the modern era. The Spanish settled the European with nobility
ancestry in which they have succeeded and they let continue the tribal lineage until the English
came and put conquer the land with remain an independent country status despite the transfer of
the land in a medieval agreement in the 1321 Treaty and secure the English people to settled and
have offsprings in which majority of the current nobility have.

Back at the current action, The Royal Family seeks refuge in this semi-isolated area due to the
roads connecting to the nearby towns and cities. But the natural features have also become a
hindrance for those who take the monastery. In the Palace, the King was informed that the royal
family was not intentionally showed-up much to his chagrin. But he accepts that they will never
show up and order his royal service staff that to find them as soon as possible as they are not
telling him where they were at any moment. The Pro-Indies elite members have begun their plan
to expose his dark secret and shocking revelations to the world. They are using evident videos
and connected to the computer servers for transmission to broadcast. The plan works despite
heavy security due to some guards are bribing and take pleasure in some women for happy
playing stuff. The videos are all set in and clicking the proper buttons to broadcast as part of
starting the revolution with these shreds of evidence. For few seconds before the broadcast, the
King has enjoyed the guests and some chit-chat doing so well.

One of the dissidents has clicked the button and ta-dah! Suddenly, all attendees in the Hall
have stopped their movements when they hear and watch the King on the monitor screens and to
their shock and awe expressions, the King had dark secrets and make some shocking information
which they cannot imagine to their lives and be like in the social media platforms: How to unsee.

The video footage has revealed the human rights violation, usurpation of money for his gain,
using Christianity for political gain, mind conditioning to the Royalists, cheating affair with
another woman, overspending the public taxes, negligence for the poor, and let the country
siding with the communist country in the Far East. The King was speechless and shocking upset
for what did just saw and he knew he was screwed up at this moment. Few members of the Pro-
Independence have introduced themselves at the stage that the revolution was begun at this
moment and they start hearing a lot of gunshots and fighting outside the Palace. The Pro-Indies
have starting to put their gun at the King and the Guards clashed with them thus the event was
called The Battle of the Grand Palace or The Bash in the Social Hall. A few minutes later after
the incident, the dissidents have taken over major cities and towns and also the state-controlled
companies and government agencies. The major national media outlets are spared since they
want to broadcast what really happen but the Royalist forces want to take over them as a
counterattack for occupied the State-controlled properties.
The major Catholic groups are now protecting all Churches as the Archbishops give them
blessings to protect and defend it for the faith. Other Pro-Independence members are now
protecting the other houses of worship to destroy by the state forces. They have been clashing for
7 days as the King was so pissed off of what happened sees it as a fatal blow in his face that learn
that his Heir Prince was the leader of the Pro-Independence for the division of the Kingdom into
three countries. He sees it as treason and creating succession crisis eventually political one due to
the many of the members of the House of Nobles have fled the country to other countries in
many parts of the world to seek asylum and refuge for good and many of the Royalist members
of the House of representatives are resigned and fled as well.

Many world leaders and other prominent figures have expressed peaceful solutions and end the
revolution immediately as soon as possible. The Pope has expressed solidarity to the people of
New Galicia and prayers for the safety and the future of the kingdom, as well as the His
Holiness, mentioned during the Papal Masses in the Holy See. This revolution is cannot be
reversed at some sort as the people fueled by hate and struggle for change.

The aims of the revolutionaries or pro-independence supporters are:


● Overthrown King Max V in his position and replace by Heir Prince John.
● Divided the Kingdom into 3 independent states as New Galicia will be reduced to its
medieval borders but with some economic concessions of the land added by few square
kilometers.
● The House of Nobles will be replaced by Senate as the upper house.
● The Constitution of New Galicia will be rewritten and approved by the voters in the
national referendum.
● The new two countries will be in effect by holding an independence referendum with
mediation from a representative from the World Government. Namely Borland and
Mazaredo.
● Taxing the Christian Churches with 20% revenue to every 3 sovereign states involved in
the agreement. Freedom of Religion will remain in effect despite the imposition of the
new rule must be approved by both chambers of the National Assembly.
● ⅔ of each chamber ratified the agreements.
● Lifting the restrictions for the Freedom of Information Act.
● More access in the internet connection and every town and city have strong signal and
free access to all.
● Approval of the laws regarding sexual orientation equality.
● Have freedom press in every communication medium available.
● Free Tuition for High School and College and lower the inflation rate.
● Open the countries’ economies in the world trade and membership in the international
organization for peace and cooperation purposes.
The aims are well-received by the public but not the King himself due to he wanted censorship
and crush their aspiration of hope to achieve those by putting an end to the revolution as soon as
possible. However, it cannot be reversed and turned back in the old way. But he failed as the
dissidents have controlled already those so the information will spread to the world for the
awareness of the situation. The fighting has continued for days with nearly hundreds are died due
to the aggressive approach of the King with wanted to announce he will declare Martial Law and
suspension of Habeas Corpus to capture the dissidents and its supporters. The public remains
supportive and trusts the dissidents due to the same goal they have and they never give up at still.
The diplomats and consuls of each embassy and consulates are evacuated but before this happens
they announced that mandatory evacuation of their citizens as much as possible as the airlines
have arrived in Gregorio de Pais International Airport named after one of the country’s national
heroes and statesman, that has 5 terminals as the domestic flights have been suspended but
international flights are the only allowed to be served for those passengers are escaping the war-
torn country. Majority of the capital and nearby suburbs citizens are gathering at the boundaries
of the Free City for shelter in the Tent Cities temporarily.

The Heir Prince was not surrendered yet in his aims for the future. His determination and full
of guts to fight the Royalists under his father, he never backs down to make sure his siblings and
his mother are alright in the monastery guarded by his staff and guards with the help of the
monks give them basic needs. Major towns and cities bordered and nearby in the capital are in a
state of civil unrest as fighting and looting were seen. With civilians are killed to the King’s Iron
Fist Rule, the Nationalists are eager to block the capital from getting reinforcements from the
Royal Guard and Royal Police Units. The Christian Churches and other houses of worship are
guarded by the Order of Saint James to make sure they are not destroyed and deconsecrated the
grounds by the state forces and pro-royalist supporters. A lot of atrocities were made by both
sides in maintaining their forces not to lose. A few more days after the banquet, the pace was
slow in favor of the Nationalists due to their strategy to use the natural features and
underground/secret paths to fight the Royal Forces including the Air Force who using airstrikes
to destroy the hideout bases but still their moral has not yet slowed down on the ground.

The King is dismayed more and more due to the surrendered of some of his men to the
Nationalists and defects voluntarily without notice. He sees that as desertion and is charged with
execution for those he sees as disloyal and unpatriotic acts they pledge. The defectors saying
they do that as their conscience is clear and not filled with evil thoughts. The Nationalists fully
occupied the western lands known as Borland as they fully defended the borders against the state
forces to retake them. On the other side, the eastern lands known as Mazaredo have a 60/40
situation due to many of the King’s armed forces fully deployed to fight the Nationalist factions
and supporters. Expected that there are many bloodsheds, but repulsed by the latter due to strike-
and-run method and unexpected ambushes since they have the blueprint of the passageways and
routes to their advantage. Many families have evacuated in the Free City and its Northeast
Frontier. The Prince has situated his headquarters in Saint Jerome (85 kilometers southwest of
Middleburg in the triangle area between the three regions.

The Prince was also call-out his father for a Waterloo-style battle and which he agreed that
tomorrow morning will begin as they mobilized their troops and they agreed that the location
will happen between Santa Ana Plains and the outskirts of Galicia City, the old capital. This is
All Out War between them, for the country, and the future. Many observers have waited in this
extraordinary event due to the rarity of these battles involving the members of the royal family as
one in a million chances situation. As the people know that the royal family is seen as a pacifier
for maintaining stability in the region and a bridge for the diplomacy of other countries.

The day has come between the two, in the middle hours of the morning before the Battle the
two had conversations on each side of the plains since they wanted to have medieval mixed with
not so modern warfare equipment thus retain the war tradition in case the war brokes out. They,
not long dialogue between them:

Heir Prince: Father, you have disgraced the country for so long. Did you ever feel the being
embarrassed by many countries on us? Think about the effects of your reign! You are not the
Dictator! You should take the action as a helpful and trusted King. But you do the opposite.
The King: Silent! You fool! Do you think you can change this country? Do you think that you
can get my throne? Never. Unless you kill me on this site once and for all. Try and get it.
Heir Prince: Hard to imagine killing my father at this battle anytime this day.
Heir Prince: I will make sure that you gonna surrendered by not taking that option.
The King: Hahaahahah stupid. You will never win this battle and I will eliminate every single of
you. You are a piece of crap that regrets his decision for the rest of his life.
The King: Le Grande Armee. Prepare your arms to attack!
King and Prince: Let the Battle will begin!

The cannons of two sides are starting to launch attacks thus the battlefield was becoming
smoky since the use of gunpowder covers the main field. They are using early modern firearms
only as part of their agreement the day before. Additionally, they have used also banners and
flags. The battle is notably known as the only use of such arms in a traditional way in modern era
warfare.

The battle had begun aggressively since the two sides have to clash for the future of the
country. The Nationalists have sent reinforcements to back the Heir Prince as they give full
support. They will win at any cost since he thinks the casualties on his side that have families are
waiting. He promises that they will give full military honors to those who died during the
revolution and proper burials are prepared as well. The two armies have ready to launch their
moves like a game of chess as they do not end the results in a stalemate. There will be the last
man standing and it is considered that as the game-changing scenario. The two armies are
starting to move and clashing each other as well. The plains have soaked in blood as the voices
where disappeared every second as the King and the Prince fight in swordsmanship, the King
uses two-sword style to fight the Prince’s forces and cruelly slaughtered along the way to fight
his son.

For the 10 hours of the Battle of the Plains, exhaustion, and desertion is the biggest challenges
yet on both sides. The Prince gains the upper hand to control the situation to make sure their
morals will not be crushed. As they see the chance to defeat his father and his armies. Both of
them are bloody soaked due to their wounds as they using swords inherited from their ancestors
as symbols of honor, dignity, and leadership. As exhausted due to lack of water and food in the
intense fighting, the two have exchange conversations and they exclaim:

The King: This is the end for you. My child! Remember that whoever wins in a battle, that is
justice to be served and dictate the future.
Heir Prince: Yes. One of us became a justice. Do not be worry that I will make sure justice will
at my side and change the country for good. For the new generations, they see a country that they
expressed goodwill and walk free in our land. Our ancestors are sure they are embarrassed by
you. I will not be allowed that you are the definition of justice.
The King: Hahaha you silly goose. I am the real justice in this country! You have just to submit
to me and you will beg me for my mercy.
Heir Prince: Enough is enough. I will stand and deliver for the country. Defend the weak,
protect both young and old, never desert your friends and family. Give justice to all, be fearless
in battle, and always ready to defend the right.

They have clashed again with intense aura as each army describes something there is a beast
unlocked in their persona and feel the eerie vibes to them. The soldiers are wounded, calling help
for their lives at the site. The medics are prepared to retrieve the dead bodies, help the wound in
a safe location afar from the battleground. The Red Cross has assisted the State Medic Corps in
saving lives and now the final stage is the mano-o-mano of father and son. As the soldiers of two
sides who remained standing are encircling the large area distant the dueling royal family
members. The news was not spread in most of the country, the unrest will continue until the clear
result was spread like wildfire. The religious leaders have recited their prayers and chants that
the war will stop as soon as possible with the help of divine intervention.
At the southeast portion of the Plains, the soldiers of the World Navy headed by the Admiral
ordered the Navy Units stationed and assigned that does not intervene in the internal conflict.
They have to watch the results which also make a move depends on the outcome of a family
conflict or a wider scale, a national crisis. The Admiral said the citizens of this island continental
landmass must not catch their breath and not be confident and full power of positivity remain in
their heart and mind.
The two have used a historical sword known as Joyeuse or joyous in French, which is kept in
the Royal Archives. They use all of the sword styles they got from Medieval to Post-Classical as
the usage of the swords are diminished due to the modern firearms as worthy to use in defense
purposes. A few minutes after, the King loses to stand due to the injuries and exhaustion as the
Battle goes on for nearly 12 hours since they began in the morning. It is also learned that the
King has health complications due to his lifestyle as he never listens to the doctors’ advice with
supervision by the Royal Ministry of Health. The latter has not been the pathway or nor the
Prince as he was fainting and catching breath. He was also coughing blood, the Prince expected
that his health was to worsen so instead of killing him. The Heir pointed the joyeuse at him to
surrender as he cannot touch the sword longer.

Heir Prince: Father, you must give up right now. I have sent the reinforcements to give up all
the arms of our Royal Forces. I do not want any bloodshed at this point. You lose already.
The King: *cough* *cough* *cough* You son of a-. I cannot believe I will lose in this fight.
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah.
Heir Prince: Just accept the surrender. Think about what is best for the country. No more
bloodshed and the world is watching upon us. I will allow you to take in the hospital and you
will face criminal charges at the trial by the International Court of Justice. No immunity will be
given to you and the prosecution is prosecution. Your trial will serve as justice for the victims
under your tyranny. How did you keep that secret in all of us? You almost damage our image
and our ancestors as well.
The King: Ok, I will surrender. I will tell my right hand to let down their arms as a symbolic
way of defeat.
Heir Prince: I hereby declared the war is over! Tomorrow onwards is the start of reconciliation
in our land.

Finally, the war is over. 25,500 out of 30,000 Royal Army are surrendered and survived the
war. For the Nationalists, 23,000 out of 32,000 are survived. The Prince promised amnesty for
those who surrendered and giving a second chance to help in the Reconstruction Era. As the
news that the King was defeated. The majority of the people have chanted “Viva! And Long
Live the Country!”. As their national flags are raised for their festive mood which lasted for 1
week and reported the news to the world. Many churches have toll their bells as symbols of the
restoration of peace and order in the kingdom. The 205 Days War has ended as the infrastructure
and road systems have been destroyed that the flow of processed goods was temporarily stopped
creating a hunger crisis as the people flocked to the Free City as a neutral area and sanctuary.

The aftermath effects are listed chronologically down below:


● The cronies of the King were arrested by the Cipher Pol’s cooperation in many parts of
the world and many of them have sentences life imprisonment.
● The writ of habeas corpus was restored, the corruption was eliminated, the educational
and health care systems were improved.
● The political dynasties were strictly forbidden, equality rights laws were revised.
● The religious affairs were co-handled by both Church and State for minimizing the
abuses and unfair treatment with no tolerance. The other faiths are subject to this rule
with special arrangements and cooperation.
● The Heir Prince was announced as the new king and the coronation will happen after 5
Day National Mourning Period for those who died during the war. But rescheduled for 90
days to make sure the country was recovered.
● The transparency of the Royal Grants as part of the Freedom of Information Act.
● Internal reorganization in every government post including the abolishment of the House
of Nobles replaced by democratically elected Senate and revision of membership in the
House of Representatives.
● Referendums happen in the kingdom’s west and east region and succeeded. The new
countries emerged known formally as the Republic of Borland and the Federal Republic
of Mazaredo with general elections held and inaugurated their first presidents. They both
joined World Government and applied to the specialized agencies attached to the
organization as many countries immediately recognized them.
● The Constitution provides that amendments are approved by Congress with a two-thirds
majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate after they are approved
by two-thirds of the voters in New Galicia in a referendum 90 days after the war.
● The new King announced that New Galicia was no longer a constitutional monarchy and
instead will be known as The Crowned Republic of New Galicia. A crowned republic is
an informal term that has been used to refer to a system of monarchy where the monarch's
role may be seen as almost entirely ceremonial and where nearly all of the royal
prerogatives are exercised in such a way that the monarch personally has little discretion
over the executive and constitutional issues.

It has been 90 days since the war broke out. The new King John is happy to see that the
country was immediately recovered from the war in which many countries are stunned in their
progress. Now he was ready to be coronated as the new Sovereign as John XIV. He finds himself
he was no heir to succeed. But during his time as Heir Prince, he was dating a commoner and
they engaged and eventually married. Her name was Cristine Marie Jones, her looks and
personality are just like the typical European woman. On their National Day, January 25. The
new king was designated to be coronated as His Royal Highness and its 110th king in succession
and 70th under the current dynasty. He also announced that her wife and queen consort is
pregnant on his first child. He was congratulated by many on that good news. Congratulations on
him! Best wishes! The future successor will rule the country born 9 months from now.

The coronation was widely televised all over the world. Many representatives from many
countries and some religious leaders are attending the ceremony in the Cathedral of Saint James
the Great Apostle to witness a new era of prosperity and peace in the country. The leaders of
Free City, Borland, and Mazaredo are attended as well and also members of the National
Assembly. Before the entrance of the sovereign, the litany of the saints is sung during the
procession of the clergy and other dignitaries. For the entrance of the monarch, Psalm 118,
Hymn of Thanksgiving is sung.

The sovereign enters Westminster Abbey wearing the crimson surcoat and the Robe of State
of red velvet and takes his or her seat on a Chair of the Estate. Principal King of Arms, the
Archbishop of Middleburg, the Grand Chancellor, the Lord Great Chamberlain, the Lord High
Constable, and the Earl Marshal go to the east, south, west, and north of the coronation theatre.
At each side, the archbishop calls for the recognition of the sovereign, with the words,

The Archbishop: Sirs, I here present unto you [John], your undoubted King. Wherefore all you
who are come this day to do your homage and service, are you willing to do the same?

The oath has been modified without statutory authority; the exchange between the King and the
Archbishop of Middleburg was as follows:

The Archbishop: Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the New
Galicia, and of your Possessions and other Territories to any of them belonging or pertaining,
according to their respective laws and customs?

King John XIV: I solemnly promise so to do.

The Archbishop: Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all
your judgments?

King John XIV: I will.

The Archbishop: Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true
profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the New Galicia, the
Roman Catholic Church established by the See of Saint Peter? Will you maintain and preserve
inviolably the settlement of the Roman Catholic Church, and the doctrine, worship, discipline,
and government thereof, as by law established in New Galicia? And will you preserve unto the
Bishops and Clergy of New Galicia with bestowed powers from the Pope as the Vicar of Christ,
and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights, and privileges, as by law do
or shall appertain to them or any of them?

King John XIV: All this I promise to do. The things which I have here before promised, I will
perform and keep. So help me God.

Once the taking of the oath concludes, an ecclesiastic presents a Bible to the sovereign, saying
"Here is Wisdom; This is the royal Law; These are the lively Oracles of God." The Bible used is
a full Revised Standard Version Bible, including the revised Apocrypha. After the Communion
service is interrupted, the anthem Come, Creator Spirit is recited, as a prelude to the act of
anointing. After this anthem, the Archbishop recites a prayer in preparation for the anointing,
which is based on the ancient prayer Deus electorum fortitudo or The strength of the elected by
God also used in the anointing of French kings and other Europeans royalties. After this prayer,
the coronation anthem Galicia for Glory is sung by the choir; meanwhile, the crimson robe is
removed, and the sovereign proceeds to the Coronation Chair for the anointing, which has been
set in a prominent position, wearing the anointing gown. This medieval chair has a cavity in the
base into which the Stone of the Ages is fitted for the ceremony.

Once seated in this chair, a canopy of golden cloth is held over the monarch's head for the
anointing. The duty of acting as canopy-bearers was performed in recent coronations by four
Knights of the Garter. This element of the coronation service is considered sacred and is
concealed from the public gaze with only guests attended to be seen thus it cannot be televised
also for those who watching around the world.

The Dean of Middleburg Cathedral pours the consecrated oil from an eagle-shaped ampulla
into a filigreed spoon with which the Archbishop of Middleburg anoints the sovereign in the
form of a cross on the hands, head, and heart. The Coronation Spoon is the only part of the
medieval Crown Jewels that will be released from the Royal Chambers at the Royal Archives for
coronation purposes only. While performing the anointing, the Archbishop recites a consecratory
formula recalling the anointing of King Solomon by Prophet Nation and Priest Zadok.

After being anointed, the monarch rises from the Coronation Chair and kneels down at a
faldstool placed in front of it. The archbishop then concludes the ceremonies of the anointing by
reciting a prayer that is a modified English translation of the ancient Latin prayer Deus, Dei
Filius, recited in the consecration of other Christian sovereigns. Once this prayer is finished, the
monarch rises and sits again in the Coronation Chair. The Knights of the Garter then bear away
the canopy.

The sovereign is then enrobed in the colobium sindonis or shroud tunic, over which is placed
the supertunica. The Lord Great Chamberlain presents the spurs, which symbolize chivalry. The
Archbishop of Middelburg, assisted by other bishops, then presents the Sword of State to the
sovereign, who places it on the altar. The sovereign is then further robed, this time receiving
bracelets and putting the Robe Royal and Stole Royal on top of the supertunica. The Archbishop
then delivers several Crown Jewels to the sovereign. First, he delivers the Orb, a hollow gold
sphere decorated with precious and semi-precious stones. The Orb is surmounted by a cross,
representing the rule of Jesus over the world and it is returned to the altar immediately after
being received. Next step, the sovereign receives a ring representing his or her "marriage" to the
nation. The Sovereign's Sceptre with Dove, so-called because it is surmounted by a dove
representing the Holy Spirit, and the Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross, which incorporates
Cullinan Diamond, are delivered to the sovereign.

The Archbishop of Middleburg lifts Saint Frederick's Crown named after 45th king Saint
Frederick II the Great (Fictional) from the high altar, sets it back down, and says a prayer: "Oh
God, the crown of the faithful; bless we beseech thee and sanctify this thy servant our
king/queen, and as thou dost this day set a crown of pure gold upon his/her head, so enrich
his/her royal heart with thine abundant grace, and crown him/her with all princely virtues
through the King Eternal Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen". This prayer is the translation of the
ancient formula Deus tuorum Corona fidelium or The crown of Thy faithful.

The Dean of Middleburg picks up the crown and he, the archbishop, and several other high-
ranking bishops proceed to the Coronation Chair where the crown is handed back to the
archbishop, who reverently places it on the monarch's head. At this moment, the king or queen is
crowned, and the guests in the abbey cry in unison three times, “Glory to the Sovereign”. Peers
of the realm and officers of arms put on their coronets, the trumpeters sound a fanfare and church
bells ring out across the kingdom, as gun salutes echo from the Three Towers and Great Valley
Park.

Finally, the archbishop, standing before the monarch, says the crowning formula, which is a
translation of the ancient Latin prayer Coronet te Deus: "God crown you with a crown of glory
and righteousness, that having a right faith and manifold fruit of good works, you may obtain the
crown of an everlasting kingdom by the gift of him whose kingdom endureth for ever." To this
the guests, with heads bowed, say "Amen".

When the prayer is finished, the choir sings an English translation of the traditional Latin
antiphon Confortare: Be strong and of a good courage; keep the commandments of the Lord thy
God, and walk in his ways. During the singing of this antiphon, all stand in their places, and the
monarch remains seated in the Coronation Chair still wearing the crown and holding the
scepters. The recitation of this antiphon is followed by a rite of benediction consisting of several
prayers.

The benediction being concluded, the sovereign rises from the Coronation Chair and is borne
into a throne. Once the monarch is seated on the throne, the formula Stand firm, and holds fast
from henceforth… – a translation of the Latin formula Sta et retina, historically used for the
enthronement of other Christian sovereigns is recited.

After the enthronement proper, the act of homage takes place: the archbishops and bishops
swear their fealty, saying "I, N., Archbishop [Bishop] of N., will be faithful and true, and faith
and truth will bear unto you, our Sovereign Lord [Lady], King [Queen] of this Realm and
Defender of the Faith, and unto your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God."
The peers then proceed to pay their homage, saying "I, N., Duke [Marquess, Earl, Viscount,
Baron or Lord] of N., do become your liege man of life and limb, and of earthly worship; and
faith and truth will I bear unto you, to live and die, against all manner of folks. So help me God.”
The clergy pay homage together, led by the Archbishop of Middleburg. Next, members of the
royal family pay homage individually. The peers are led by the premier peers of their rank: the
dukes by the premier duke, the marquesses by the premier marquess, and so forth.

If there is a queen consort, she is anointed, invested, crowned, and enthroned in a simple
ceremony immediately after homage is paid. The Communion service interrupted earlier is
resumed and completed.

The sovereign then exits the coronation theatre, entering adjacent Saint Frederick's Chapel
(within the Cathedral complex), preceded by the bearers of the Sword of State, the Sword of
Spiritual Justice, the Sword of Temporal Justice, and the blunt Sword of Mercy with the addition
of the Sword of Honor. While the monarch is in Saint Frederick's chapel, the choir recites an
English translation of the hymn of thanksgiving Te Deum laudamus or God, We Praise You.
Saint Frederick's Crown and all the other regalia are laid on the High Altar of the chapel; the
sovereign removes the Robe Royal and Stole Royal, exchanges the crimson surcoat for the
purple surcoat, and is enrobed in the Imperial Robe of purple velvet. He or she then wears the
Imperial State Crown and takes into his or her hands the Sceptre with the Cross and the Orb and
leaves the chapel while all present sing the national anthem.

After the coronation rites, the entourage of the King and Queen consort with the royal family
has to escort him back to the Grand Palace with the cheering the crowds along the way route and
to resume his work duty as the Sovereign with his gesture toast in the Palace Balcony and to give
time to rest as they ended all media interviews and royal tasks. The following day, he would go
to the National Assembly for his first State of the Sovereign Address in a Joint Session of both
Chambers and foreign dignitaries. The Address was live broadcast worldwide and addresses the
national issues and also the diplomacy between the new states and other countries for trade and
communication which was largely praised for his immediate actions and not some flowery
words.

9 months later, Queen Consort was welcoming their first child with King John and it was
revealed few months that the baby’s gender will be a boy, so he named it Luke (Future King
Luke II of New Galicia). Thus, the celebration in the country was seen due to the citizen’s
optimism for their future leader and continue stability as well as the new King’s plan is wanted
to fade memories of the citizens of what happened during the war. It takes years to recovered
emotionally as the King was in the maximum security compound in the Great Royal Prison that
replaced the Old Royal Prison that was established centuries ago and the current prison was
located in the City of Muscovado at the northwest of the Capital. King John forgives his father
and his cronies but they had to pay their crimes in prison for life.
The former Heir Prince and the incumbent King were grateful to live his life to helping and be
loyal to the country and its constituents. His wife and his own child serve as his motivation and
he wanted more issues or children but he wanted to do that in the foreseeable future. But now he
is now happy and satisfied with what he gains as he thanks the Lord for the blessings.

The story will continue after 12 years for the new chapter of the new generation….
