Chapter 238: History Will Not Repeat Itself
In the Kingdom of Zion, Katelina watched as Ezekiel wrapped up matters in their realm. He gave all the necessary instructions, and her officers followed everything meticulously.
Luis had captured every spy as instructed by Ezekiel, and they were brought to the gallows for execution. To ensure her people remained vigilant, Katelina decided to spread the news about the plan of Devon’s followers to revive Devon. She wanted everyone to report anything suspicious they found within the kingdom.
Katelina stood with Luis at the gallows as the execution took place. She wore her crown as the Queen Regent and every eye was on her. This was the first time her people would see her face without the veil she often wore. Now, unveiled and exposed, her people could see the mark from her off-shoulder gown that signified she was chosen to be the future bride and queen of the dragon king of Ebodia.
The atmosphere was charged with tension and curiosity as the crowd observed their queen with a mixture of awe and reverence. As the executions proceeded, Katelina maintained a calm and composed demeanor.
When the last of the spies were dealt with, she addressed the gathered crowd, her voice steady and resolute. "Today, we have shown that we will not tolerate betrayal. We stand united and vigilant against any threat to our kingdom. With the strength of our people, we will overcome any challenge."
Still sensing the fear among her people because of the news about Devon’s revival, she announced, "We’re not alone in this fight against Devon’s followers. We have the support of Ebodia. I declare that the Kingdom of Zion will be under the rule and protection of King Ezekiel of Ebodia."
Murmurs filled the gallows area, and people bowed down to their knees, many crying as they gave their thanks. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long Live the Great Regent!"
Such was the power of Ezekiel’s name in their kingdom. The scene didn’t end there, as Lurio soon arrived with royal guards and mages from the Global Summit Ebodia Entourage. The arrival of Ebodia’s support quickly spread in their kingdom like wildfire.
Katelina and Luis quickly rode back to the palace and back to the throne hall where Ezekiel was taking care of everything.
