Time passed, and it was now the day of the King's birthday. Two celebrations were planned for the day. One in the morning to afternoon for the common folk and any traveler, and one at night at the palace for nobles, wealthy people, and honorable knights and mages.
"Today's the day! Today's the day! Today's the day!" Crystal couldn't keep calm and paced around her room until Zia had to physically stop her from moving.
"Calm down, princess."
"I'm sorry, Zia, but I can't. Today is the big day. The war starts today! I'm so excited! Before Zion, I used to dread this day because no one would back me up. But now, since my reign is guaranteed, I'm so freaking excited! Zion already has people ready to replace every person working in the Castle, so there won't be anyone with loyalty to another party once I'm Queen."
