Coronation

3 days has passed and the news of the coronation for the new successor of the clan has traveled from land to land, informing everyone. Even some of the locals nor the outsiders get wind of it, after all the clan is the most powerful blood line in the country. The media is also thrilled about the scoop however no matter what, they aren't going to attend it with or without invitation, they know that the clan is filled with war freaks that will chase them in any second, the clan maybe civilized as normal 21st century citizens just like any other else, but they are just different at some aspects, like in physical, most of them were strong and trained at a very young age and has engaged mostly in sports, and most of the athletic personas and qualifiers are red hairs. Academics wasn't exempted and they even dominated the business world. They have no weak points, be might in any talent and capabilities. They don't lack reputation and fame. That's one of the reason why many wanted to get married in such a great blood line, and as mentioned before, the family doesn't spoke broke.

Another day has passed the day of coronation has come. It was grand and luxuriant from the entrance into the venue, everything was well prepared and was pleasant into the eyes. It vibrates the past era's coronations. As the venue was starting to get filled, especially red hairs obviously, the mood gets blissful.

Though the clan population doesn't actually exceeds into a two thousand, the crowd that gather is a great number. It's a day they can't miss and some even take a day off from their works while most of them traveled from their regions, prefectures just to attend the coronation. Some even came from overseas.

A coronation actually takes place usually after 60 years, depending on the head. But this time is different, the previous head Astrid whose four limbs is still intact resigned reasoning that there are other more important matter that he should do but still, he will remain as a prominent supporter of the clan.

Some accepted while some doesn't,Those who are joyous has looked out for some outcome, if the younger the head the easily he will be manipulated in becoming their pawn. In this clan, the head is the highest position and the closer you are to him, the more authority you can gain. In the end this clan doesn't have peace, they may call others as their family and they share the same blood but they all doesn't have a good agenda behind all of those. Just fake it and it will be fine, no need to be sincere since the clan is a war of vengeance.

Hour later, the ceremony began as everyone settled down on their provided seats. All of them looked like they belong on high positions just by looking at their clothes and accessories, especially with the females. They are all dressed into the most flamboyant way and all of their garments was the latest release from well known brands. All of them are just trying to show off with each other and probably it's the same in their businesses and everyday life.

Amidst the crowd was a large decorated stage with beauteousness where the coronation will take place. In the stage seated each member that belongs into the main family and those who weren't concluded especially from those branch family could only look at them with envy and jealousness. No matter how rich they are, they aren't comparable to that of the main family.

While those who are seated at the stage comfortably just look at the masses with chin up and pride. Eve and her other children was also there seated but out of the eight seats that doesn't conclude Aka, only three was present. This makes most of the people to wonder where they've been and where is their manner. This is a very important aspect in the clan yet they are absent. But no matter the question is, they could only just shut their mouth and heed no longer since they are fully aware on how powerful they are.

When the ceremony started, the one who give the remarks and his speech was Astrid. Though the situation in the clan is wretched. Everyone respected and honor him. He is a sole figure that keeps the clan alive today after all. To the real deal, everyone was expectant into the next head. Unlike normies, the clan doesn't held grand reunions, only family gatherings that's why they never seen the next head in flesh, but rumor says that the next successor entered the military at a very young age and has been staying there for many years that's why most of them hasn't actually seen his real face. Only those who belong at the main family has taken a glimpse of him yet those who actually meet him already, shared a single thought, the man was unapproachable and boundless which add fuel to the fire.

The elders of the clan is the one who is in charge of the coronation since they are the only one who knows and capable of the custom. As everyone awaits for the rumored man in glee, they finally saw a tall slender figure walking up in the stage that as calm as the sea. When everyone saw him for the first time most of them was awestruck and unable to react.

The hell, no one told them the head was this young and so attractive. He looks so damn handsome! Wild! Dashing!

Though numerous members of the clan has become well known popular actors, actresses, models and t.v personalities, this man alone brings shame to them.

Just who is he?

"Oh my god, he is so hot? What's his name?" a girl exclaimed and hurriedly opened her phone to take pictures and it's the same as everyone. This is a very rare opportunity to meet someone whose looks is enough to captivate them. In the past coronations, the next head is already married or has already aged so the youngsters doesn't actually care and didn't pay attention at all.

"How rude, Aka is his name, you should at least know his name before coming here" a nearby girl commented as she is also busy taking picture

"I'm busy at school ok?" replied the girl A with a bit of irritation

"He is a dream guy! Those back of him is already enough to tell me he is so good looking!" another girl said as the commotion continued secretly

A woman who is sitting in the middle of the girls, can't take it any longer and spoke.

"Ladies please mind your behaviors. This is a coronation not gathering besides surely, the next head is married its one of the custom" she explained which make most of the girls to be disappointed and silently cursed her from telling such a bad news.

"That doesn't seems the case, look, he isn't accompanying someone!" a girl with a keen eye pointed which make everyone to look carefully and she is right. Not a woman is sighted beside him which make them all to wonder and soon whispers emerged.

Even those who are in the main family is flabbergasted by this, isn't he supposed to be with someone? Those who were nearby give a curious look toward Eve but she can only give them a smile.

When the elders saw it also they were shocked but didn't interfere, they know their place. This man is the current head already of the clan and none of his well being should be questioned. It's rude and not elegant.

This is just how powerful the head could be. Even those who are older than him has no choice but to step down. This is how domineering a head is, it's a dictatorial possession.

It only take a nearly half hour when the coronation ended and Aka was already declared and officially the current head of the clan ,it may be a coronation but crown isn't needed, just the elderly dip his thumb in a pot of honey and placed it into Aka's fore head and state blessings. This was a sign which embodied a sweet vigor and unending luck. The moment he rose up from kneeling and faced the crowd, everyone stood and sound of endless claps emerged.

It's a start of a new dawn

"I Aka em'Reagan the 27th successor of the clan creed has humbly submitted myself in all the responsibility and liability of the clan. In my utmost shall I devote myself in this position and will gladly apprehend it until the day I passed down the authority. I will suffice as a role model in both the country and humanity. This is all for you my fellow clan mates" as he finish his speech thunderous claps sufficed once again from the audience.

As for him, while saying such an statement there is a glint of sarcasm in it.

But in the end he can't seek vengeance to any of them. Everyone is just a product of the past that rooted the current status they have. There is no enemy here only destiny itself should he be wary of.
