The announcement of their Crown Prince shook everyone. The government has enforced a lockdown for almost two weeks running. Although relief aid are being provided, there are no official statement from the government. The only thing that people believed are the reasoning that Europe is now engaged in an all out war. Russian aggressions in some other countries was at its peak, thus they were the primary suspects for the citizens.

Even the crew of Crelant was able to watch the announcement. The Captain, Officers and some crew members were the only ones to understand the local language, thus they are in charge of translating it for everyone.

The Crown Prince discloses everything that happened, every single detail ever since the 'Great White' enveloped the whole country. From the dragon attack and the recently concluded battle of Brancel. HD cameras of the Army documentation force provided HD resolution shots. They've showed uncensored videos from the battle of Brancel.

After that the Prince introduced Princess Jahleel and some of her Knights. Also disclosing the relations between the two countries. That left every person in Cardonia in pure disbelief. But the evidence is at their face. Everyone was taken a bit when they saw the Princess, she was beautiful, elegant and with some semblance of strenght. Done in her gold plated armor, she stood in front of the camera with that amazing aura. The citizens took noticed of her and became an instant celebrity.

Surprisingly the crew of Crelant also noticed someone familiar, it's Captain Cristoph, he personally discloses what happened on their regular patrol, and promised to show the country the crew of Crelant.

The two hour presentation of the Prince was nearing it's end, when things go dark. He discloses the information of an actual imminent threat. Just a couple of hundred kilometers away from Cardonian soil. Approximately a hundred thousand monsters are breathing under their nose, determined to attack and ravage every city on their path. A video was played where it shows large cluster of citizens were packed in the center field of what seems to be a fortress city, it was the city Schielde. The high definition footage from one the Kingdoms scout plane, recorded the violence that ensued.

Helpless humans are one by one getting raped, eaten alive and for some reason even cooked by these large monsters. The footage ends when the camera suddenly turned upright towards the sky and zoomed in what appears to be a wyvern.

The uncensored brutality showed had imbued fear towards the normal citizen. A few weeks ago they were enjoying their boring lives then this happened.

The broadcast of the Prince was then cut short. And to everyone's surprise, it's the King himself. King Alfredo Cylvania, one of the last reigning King in Europe. Grandfather to Kharles and Andruei have finally appeared on national television. The King on his late 70's stood up from his throne and began to speak.

"From this moment on, Crown Prince Kharles Cylvania is hereby appointed as Regent of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Cardonia. In this old age of mine, the task of protecting the Kingdom from these various threats are too taxing for an old man nearing his death. I ask for my citizens, the military, the ministers, the parliament and the Royal Guards to pledge their unbending loyalty to the next King of this Country."

"This is an Royal Decree!" the King then draws out a sword done in gold.

The broadcast then was interrupted.

For minutes television networks felk silent, some are repeating what happened. Within that minutes, everyone in the country are glued to their television.

The Prince who was broadcasting from the Castle of Brancel fell silent as he sits on a chair. Everyone around him was waiting for his response.

"Wait, that is basically crowning him King, excusing the formalities!" 1st Lt. Crowall asked, flustered over the announcement.
