Y/N POV

I was in my room, reading a book happily, when I heard church bells start ringing. I immediately jumped up and dropped my book and was about to run out of my room when the door opened suddenly, revealing my father's most loyal General, Esdeath, with a look of dread.

Y/N: Esdeath! What's happening?!

Esdeath: Come with me...

I immediately started following her and we walked outside and I saw my father on a stretcher...with a bullet wound in his head, causing me to tear up and I fought back the tears but it was difficult since I had no biological family left.

Esdeath noticed me on the verge of tears and hugged me. She's really only loving towards me. Eventually I broke down and started sobbing into Esdeath's chest while she did her best to comfort me.

Esdeath: You're now king, Y/N. I'll be by your side forever...I promise.

I nodded my head as she continued hugging me. Once I had calmed down, the entire funeral service went on and once it was all over, I was crowned king. Esdeath and I then walked back to the palace and I saw the Prime Minister, who I didn't like nor trust, waiting for us while also eating meat, as usual.

Honest: Welcome, your majesty. I look forward to working with you.

I just gave him a death stare and walked into the palace with Esdeath following close behind. Once we walked into the throne room, I walked towards the throne and sighed.

Y/N: So this now belongs to me...I'm not sure if I'm ready...

I was then taken by surprise when Esdeath hugged me from behind and intentionally pushed her boobs against my back, making me blush slightly.

Esdeath: *whispers into Y/N's ear and sweetly*You'll be an amazing king, I just know it and I'll be here by your side to support and protect you, especially from Night Raid.

Y/N: I actually want to see if we can negotiate with Night Raid.

Esdeath: W-What?

Y/N: I wish to negotiate with Night Raid, but before anything else, who do you really support? Me? Or that son of a bitch, Honest?

Esdeath seemed shocked but smiled at me before hugging me.

Esdeath: You, Of course. So you knew that Honest was basically controlling the king?

Y/N: Of course I did. My father never would've done the things he did if it wasn't for him. That's why I'm going to either exile him or execute him myself...he's most likely the reason my father got killed in the first place...

Esdeath: I see. Well~ if you want him dead. Just tell me the word. Your words are my commands.

I smiled at Esdeath slightly.

Y/N: Thank you. I'm glad to have you as the General Of the Army. Anyways, let's get to work on fixing this kingdom. No doubt it's going to be hard seeing as how young I am.

Esdeath: But there's no doubt that you'll do great.

Y/N: Yes, but another thing. Please hold back on your bloodlust...Yes, I know about your true nature that comes out when you fight. I've heard stories and they all sound the same.

Esdeath looked nervous, but I hugged her.

Y/N: I'm not going to punish you severely and probably won't punish you at all, but I am asking you to not commit war atrocities, Okay?

Esdeath: *hugs Y/N*Alright. I'll try to hold myself back...*GIF below* Just for you

I smiled at Esdeath and thanked her. I then looked at the throne and smiled.

Y/N: I guess I've always wanted to sit upon the throne and now, I have the chance to.

I then sat in the throne and smiled.

Y/N: *looks at a smiling Esdeath*It's time to get to work on fixing this wonderful kingdom.

Timeskip Mine POV

I was sit to spy on the new king who was surely going to be the same as the last king who got careless and do whatever he wanted. I made my way to the front of the crowd and saw him, but he had an actual kind smile on his face and looked rather happy to be up front, facing the crowd.

He tried to keep the kind smile but it quickly turned into a huge, happy smile.

Y/N: Everyone! I would like to thank you all for coming. As we all know...things...haven't been the greatest in recent years. Constant wars, never ending suffering on your part. I wish, on the behalf of me and the empire, to apologize to you all for what you've been forced to endure while I lived in luxury. I understand that I have a lot to learn and a lot to do to earn your trust, but I Solemnly swear that I, King Y/N "Carolus" Rex, will work hard and do my best to make sure you all get to live better lives than the ones you lived.

He then turned to look at the prime minister and I watched as venom formed in his eyes.

Mine: (Does he know what the prime minister has been doing?)

Y/N: And as king, my first action is to have Prime minister Honest executed for treason and controlling my father as a puppet, making the people of my Fair kingdom suffer.

Honest looked completely shocked and tried to run but was quickly detained by the elite guards known as the Caroleans.

Honest was then forced to walk towards Y/N and the newly made king motioned towards the podium he speaking from.

Y/N: Admit to your crimes, Honest..

Everyone started murmuring, thinking Y/N was joking but Honest started laughing, shocking everyone but me, the General, Esdeath, and Y/N.

Honest :Yes, I did do everything you accuse me of, Y/N. I was the one ruling this empire! It was a good run and I was so close to taking full control!

Honest was then pulled away from the podium.

Y/N: Hang him.

Honest was then carried away and Y/N then walked back to the podium.

Y/N: As for Night Raid; I'd actually like to thank them for fighting against the tyranny that came from Honest controlling the empire. If there's anyone from Night Raid here, I'd like to talk about negotiations to help me understand what else the people of my Fair empire wish for. Thank you for coming here and listening to me. Have a good day!

Everyone started cheering and I was honestly surprised that he was doing such a thing.

Mine: (I better tell everyone.)

I then walked out of the crowd and back towards the Night Raid Headquarters.

Mine: (Is he actually telling the truth? I'm willing to take the risk of talking negotiations with him.)

Y/N POV

I was back in the palace, laughing at how nervous I was.

Esdeath: That was a wonderful speech, but who will be the newest prime minister?

Y/N: That's easy. I've invited Chouri here. I wish for him to return and become Prime minister once again.

Esdeath: I see. Well let's spend some time together.

Y/N: *blushes slightly*A-Alright.

We then spent the rest of the day together.

Here, have a meme I made revolving around the Russo-Ukrainian war

To be honest, the war against Russia and Ukraine reminds me of the past...about another war...A rather Cold War... no, no. Not that Cold War.
