Chapter 100 by BlueKnight

The events that have taken place (many of which are unknown to you) will affect the fate of you and your companions…

You get to witness the King is to accept the Constitution, the King's abdication, the ascension of the new Queen, the appointment of the new Chancellor and many more.

Later during the dinner, you get to see the King of Utrecht and the Rear Admiral from Florida engaged in diplomatic negotiation with one another. But judging from the King's face, he seemed to be a little too tense with the Rear Admiral despite clearly doing his best to display gratitude.

"The King is clearly not a fan of anything related to liberalism, I guess." - You think as you secretly observed the negotiation while also slicing a steak from the pygmy bison in your plate with a fork and a knife.

"So... you are here just to open relations between us? There are no other motives at all?" The King asked the Rear Admiral nicely while also eyeing him a little suspiciously.

"What's there to motivate us to come here but establish trade and good relations with your country. Your Majesty?" Lajos asked the King back and clearly do not mind what he asked at all. After all, they just met today.

"Ahem!" Cynthia faked a cough while also eyeing her husband, clearly not liking the fact that how he is questioning the leader of the diplomatic mission from the foreign nation at all.

The King caught on to this and realize that he needed to stop. So he washed all of the suspicions on his face away.

"My apology, Rear Admiral. It's just that not long before you and your expedition arrived, we were going through a lot. So I cannot helped but being paranoid a little." James said in an attempt to persuade the Floridan Rear Admiral that what he just heard earlier was nothing but the King himself was being paranoid due to the recent events.

"I understand." Lajos said as he's putting up a smile to show that he accepted the King's explanation.

And so, the dinner goes on without awkwardness or even an incident occurred. After the dinner is finished, everyone retired to their beds with the Rear Admiral has to leave the Azure Palace and stay at one of the inns that survived the onslaught along with the members of his expedition. And ever since the port city has been saved, nothing bad happened again.

A few days later, the supposed reinforcement from The New Hague finally arrived from the west. Knowing that New Rotterdam needed greater security, the King allowed them to stay in the barracks of the garrison's soldiers.

You and your companions do minded them. In fact, it is considered to be a welcoming development after what had transpired. And right now, you are accompanying Elijah and Brittany to the post offices so that they can deliver their letters to their families in the Axeman City. Once done, you lead them to go and meet up with Valeria and Rain to buy the ice cream sodas at the pharmacy the girls came to perform pregnancy tests. After that, you returned to the Azure Palace with them.

"Another day without an incident. Hope it will remained that way." - You think as you're heading back to the palace with your companions with carriages.

Later in the middle of the night, you woke up to the sounds of fighting within the very palace you are residing!

You come out and see that many of the troops that came earlier today from The New Hague are patrolling the palace and effectively putting the palace under occupation!

After a squad of troopers walked pass your room, you secretly disguised yourself as another male servant and simply leave to go and check things out.

"What is going on here?!" - You think as you're running as silence as possible in order to make sure that no ones will noticed you.

Then, you hear some yelling from the King's study and judging from the sounds, it's definitely the King who is yelling at the moment.

Curious, you decided to check it out. And when you looked from behind the door, you found that the King of Utrecht is now completely surrounded with the at least fifteen troops from The New Hague. Not only that but the Queen, the First Princess and the Second Princess are also standing along with them as well!

"YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO ME! I AM THE THE RIGHTFUL KING OF THIS COUNTRY!" James yelled at the top of his lungs to intimidate his wife, his daughters and the men who are standing behind them.

"Father! The Constitution has already been approved and signed! You have to!" Sapphire said as she's looking at her father with seriousness on her face while also holding the opened book that is the Constitution of Utrecht with the red seal of approval on it.

"I WILL NOT GIVE UP MY POWERS AND LET THE BRAINLESS PLEBS RUN THEMSELVES! WHO KNOWS WHAT MISTAKES THEY WILL MAKE! THEY MIGHT ENDED UP DESTROYING WHAT OUR FOREFATHERS HAVE BUILT!" The King of Utrecht yelled as his face is becoming redder and redder due to anger.

"And how do you know that?" The Queen of Utrecht asked her husband with a stern face.

"I... I..." The King said but unable to bring anything out to argue in defense of his conservative beliefs but using the divine rights to rule.

"You don't." Princess Amethyst said as she's looking at her father sternly in the eyes.

"Father, we do not asked you to step down. We simply asked you to accept the limitation placed on the monarch's executive powers and the transfer from the absolute monarchy to the constitutional monarchy instead." Princess Sapphire said as she's placing her left arm on her hips while still using her right hand to hold the book.

"If I can no longer rule with all the powers in my kingdom, then I will abdicate!" The King of Utrecht declared right in front of them with the threat of abdication!

"... sure..." The Queen of Utrecht said nonchalantly with little to no reaction to such declaration.

"What?!" James asked out loud, cannot believed what he just heard from his wife at all.

"If you wanted to abdicate, go on! We will not stopped you. You alone can decided whether or not you wanted to continue to be the King. After all, the Constitution here stated that can only the Head of Government can be elected, not the Head of State." The Second Princess said as she's showing her father the approved documents in the Constitution.

"Also, this means I will now be the Queen as well!" The First Princess said with a smile.

And after that, the King falls back into his chair behind the desk in defeat.

"Everyone here listen! My husband has abdicated in the favor his first daughter!" Queen Cynthia said as she turned to look at the troops.

"And now as the Queen, I would like to appoint Magistrate Jansen of New Rotterdam as the new Chancellor of the Kingdom of Utrecht!" The First Princess, now Queen Amethyst of Utrecht, said proudly, finally putting someone into the position of the Chancellor after it has been left vacant for many years because her father wanted all executive powers to himself.

Upon seeing that everyone is heading to the door, you quickly leave back to your room.

"By the way, father." The new Queen said as she turned around to look at her defeated father.

"The Magistrate of New Rotterdam is actually the father of Amalia and the current child in my belly. And now that he will soon become the Chancellor, it means I will get to spend a lot more time with him in the future!" Queen Amethyst said proudly with a smirk to get under her father's skin before closing the door behind her, leaving her father alone in his study with his conservative beliefs.

The next day, Queen Amethyst is properly and officially crowned as the new Queen of Utrecht with her parents are now designated as the Retire Queen and Retired King respectively. And as she promised last night, she used what left the executive powers to appoint the Magistrate of New Rotterdam as the new Chancellor of the Kingdom of Utrecht for the first time in the long time ever since her father came to power and she charged him with the task of properly forming the States General and performing the social, political, legal and government reformation such as the abolition of serfdom at the steady pace to ensure the peaceful transition of absolute monarchy to the constitutional monarchy with democratic elements.

As for the Rear Admiral, the Queen decided to formally establish relations with the Republic of Florida and is seeking for someone to be appointed as the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Utrecht to the Republic of Florida. And seeing an opportunity, Elijah suggested it to Brittany, who suggested you, the real you as Anton Blake, as the ambassador!

Will you accepted this position as yourself?
