The Throne... Roleplay Thread

“After my speech. The crowd must not know that their king is about to die.”
The king sighs.
“Our people cannot be disheartened. Not now.”

“Sir, I cannot declare your will if I must do it after the speech”

“it must also be privately, I cannot risk my identity”

“Ha…”
“Such an agonising thing to wonder about. Then I have no choice, even if this is not the optimal choice.”

“Hear the Royal Decree. Give my son these words. Never revenge, only forward. You shall declare Prince Falone as Crown Prince on behalf of me.”

“Long Live King Falone. The crown must go on.” She takes out her scythe “I take no pleasure in this my lord. I hope you should know that.”

The king looks at the throne.
“A shame I do not get to see Falone on the throne… A shame!”

“Adiart! My beloved kingdom!”

She plunges the scythe into his heart and removes his soul. “My lord I will make sure you will be happy in the afterlife.” she releases the soul outside the windows. “Long Live The King…”

The bell chimes. It is morning.

Kathrine walks out of the room, into her own room to decide how to declare his will. To put herself on the throne or put the rightful king on the throne

Abigail awakes in her home, how she doesn’t know, but the previous nights’ memories were hazy. Her clothes were in tatters as well, much to her dismay. She quickly changes to new clothes. She then makes her way to the castle, whose public opening was due.

The king sits on his throne, motionless and silent. His legend, recorded in history.

The prince takes his sword, preparing for the ceremony. Unbeknownst to him, his father had gone into the afterlife.

He goes into the training barracks, looking over at the preparations of the grand performance.

“He will be the king, there is no other option. I must wait…” She gets up to go to the gates to greet the incoming people to the castle

She decides to visit the king, the one who is alive after greeting a few people

Prince Falone is practising his arts, punching onto white bags of flour.

Falone notices Kathrine walking towards him, before duely stopping to acknowledge her presence.

“Lady Kathrine, what brings you here?” He asks.

“Come with me. Lets take a walk to the throne room” Her face and hair seem more vibrant

The prince seems puzzled by the request.
But he obliges.

She enters the throne room and seems shocked by the kings body

(danganronpa body discovery music cuz why not)

she sputters out a few words before saying “Long Live King Falone…”

Reginald wakes up and heads to the throne room to see his brother, and runs into Kathrine and Falone. “Artie, you in there?” He sees the body slumped on the chair. “Artie? Are you kind people going to get a physician? This is a potentially fatal heart attack.”

“He…he is… he is dead. Long Live King Falone…”
