Prince Sebastian did not know what exactly lord Darth has planned so he decided to set a trap for him. It was better than the lord falling into his trap.

    The prince and Jeffrey had this understanding before he came into the cave to pull the sword of destruction. Prince Sebastian was not hundred percent sure that he could pull the sword, but even if he was not able to pull out the sword out he still had other plans to deal with lord Darth.

    To his surprise, on his first attempt to pull the sword it came off without any struggle. Prince Sebastian was shocked even Jeffery was shocked. Prince Sébastien then deliberately put it back to its place, the sword has already been stuck for so long, if a few people do not witness him pulling it out, a rumor might spread the following day that the sword was fake. Of that happened the internal war he has been trying to stop from happening for so long may happen.

    So prince Sébastien stood there pretending until he heard the whispers of a few lords, then he pretend to pull out the sword for the first time. He already guess that they were people hiding at the side of the cave when he walked in earlier. So he expected Tham to make a move once he step out.

    Prince Sébastien expected an arrow but to his surprise, he was attacked with fire. Of course, he knew that no one in the entire kingdom will dare to face him head-on in a sword fight.

    The fire had caught him a bit off guard so he could only cast the spell to become invisible and step back deliberately dropping his sword on the ground after casting a spell to make the sword look just like the sword of distraction. He then calmly walk deeper into the cave and waited for Jeffrey to arrive.

    He already planned to allow the lords to fight among themselves without lifting a figure. Jeffery was still thinking of how to tick lord Darth into the cave, unexpectedly lord Darth offered to go in by himself.

    This made Jeffrey''s work easier. Once they came inside he pretend to be worried about the prince. "what could have happened to his highness," Jeffery pretended to be in search of the prince.

    Of course, prince Ericsson was worried since he was not aware that everything was planned. "come let''s search," he said. He was really anxious. Jeffery did not say any comforting words, they walked away together and allowed lord Darth the opportunity to pick up the sword.

    It took an hour before Jeffrey decided to lead prince Ericsson in the right direction to find the prince when they did

    "How do you feel? " prince Ericsson asked when they saw the prince who was trying to crop out of the small opening.

    prince Sébastien nodded his head, "I am fine uncle,"

    It was only at this point that prince Ericsson remember the sword on the fool when they entered the cave.

    "We need to go back immediately, who knows if the sword of distraction has fallen into the hands of another," when they first entered the cave all he cared about was finding the prince. He was not stupid like lord Darth to believe that the prince has been burnt to nothing.

    He believes that the prince will be in the cave somewhere. His real worry has been that the prince was burnt badly and if he does not get treated soon he would die.

    But after seeing that the prince was okay, he immediately realized that he had been too careless and did not pick up the sword of distraction.

    "Uncle, why are you so anxious? Do you think that the sword can be picked up so casually by anyone?" Prince Sébastien asked in a calm voice.

    "That right, not everyone should be able to pick it up but since you already pulled it out, who can say.." prince Ericsson was still worried...

    Prince Sébastien shook his head. "Here he revived the sword that was hidden behind him.

    When prince Ericsson saw this he finally took a deep breath." if the real sword is here..? Prince Ericsson finally realized that things were not so simple.

    "you set all this up?" He asked when he saw the look on prince Sébastien''s face.

    "No really.. Lord Darth made all the arrangements I just played along," prince Sébastien explained.

    "Then what do you want to do next?" prince Ericsson was calmer at this point.

    "The kingdom should be in chaos now, let us wait for a little, then return to the Palace and get me crown," prince Sébastien replied.

    Another hour passed before prince Sébastien, prince Ericsson and Jeffery came out of the cave, the lords have already been fighting for the sword for two hours. None of them were present at the entrance of the cave, so the three of them managed to get to the Palace without any problems.

    At this point, those inside the Palace were already aware of the chaos outside but because of fear, they chose to remain inside. After all none of them were holding any weapons and prince Sébastien already instructed them not to let the lords and noble left inside out once the chaos started.

    This was because their presence was still needed to crown him. He had predicted that not everyone will go out to take a look at him pulling out the sword and he was right.

    When the door to the throne room was pulled open, all the lords and noble presents turned around to look. They were scared that the chaos has gotten out of hand and the people have forced their way inside.

    The relief on their face seeing the crown prince was something they did not expect. After the relief gaps of disbelief left the mouth of many.

    This was because they saw the sword of distraction in the prince''s hand. Previously they heard that the prince has managed to take out the sword of truth but chaos has started because he was burned to nothing.

    Many of these lords did not believe this at all, as long as the prince''s dead body was not present they would not have believed that he was burnt to nothing.

    Moreover, how could he lose the sword of distraction to another so easily? First, it was even very difficult for them to believe that the sword of distraction was pulled out, talk more of it been lost to another. This was the reason why many of the lords and nobles did not believe the news that was brought back earlier.

    But now seeing the prince standing in front of them hold the sword was something that still caught them off guard.

    "Shall we begin the coronation?" prince Sébastien asked. Although it was a question prince Sébastien was already walking toward the throne.

    "your majesty... Is... It... I mean are you... Is that really the sword of truth?" one general present could not believe his eyes. He did not even realize that he had called the prince "Your majesty"

    "Do you want to try it the power to believe," prince Sébastien raised his brows and pretended to draw the sword?

    "of course not your majesty," the General immediately acted like a coward. Who did not know the power of the sword? In the had of a common man it was already a weapon to be feared how much more a skilled fighter like prince Sébastien.

    After this exchange, none of the lords dared to open their mouths and ask any stupid questions. Prince Ericsson quietly followed the prince to the throne. At this moment he was feeling very proud. Once prince Sébastien seats on the throne he will be at ease. Knowing that he has fulfilled his promise.

    "Your highness," the priest waiting to crown him was still able to compose his thought. He felt very honored to crown the man who pulled out the sword of truth after it has been stuck for so long.

    Below the throne, many of the lords felt regretful, if only they knew that such a historical moment will occur at this time they would have gone to take a look.

    "Your highness, your queen is not present.  You can not be crowned without one," the priest said bowing his head.

    Prince Sébastien nodded his head, of course, he knew this. For a prince to be crowned he has to be married. Is this not why prince Craig has fixed a date for his marriage after taking over the throne by force.

    " She will be here shortly," prince Sébastien responded.

    "Your highness, the kingdom is already in chaos, we can not wait. Until the drums are beaten, peace will not return and more innocent lives will be lost. Moreover, it is not granted if she will reach the Palace safely considering the situation," the priest said.

    " That right your highness, " Many of the lords supported.

    " In a situation like this, your highness can just pick a young maiden and make his queen. This is a matter of emergency. His highness will not neglect his people for personal reasons right," a lord said.

    " That right, " the voice of the nobles and lord support. In a few moments, many maidens were pushed forward.

    Prince Sébastien felt his headache. Previously he wanted the prince to come over to the throne room and wait but because he was not sure of lord Darth''s, plans he wanted her to remain inside his quarters.. Moreover, he knew that many of the lords present still did not approve of her and they might take advantage of the situation to hurt her. Who knows things will turn out like this?
