Crowning Ceremony

The whole Palace was in ruins and Swain didn't encounter any person on the way. He reached all the way to the innermost area of palace along with Traus. This area was still somewhat okay.

"Traus, why is there no one here. We didn't even encounter anyone on the way here."

"Your highness, Royal Palace has been like this since the death of previous King and only few servants still remain to take care of it. We can go to the Royal court."

Swain and Traus went to the Royal Court and saw that some people were presents there.

Seeing Swain coming with Traus, an old man came close to them and said:

"I welcome the Royal highness and General Traus. My name is Nezit, and I am in charge of management of palace and its affairs. We were preparing for your crowning ceremony as per instructions, so I didn't know the time of your arrival."

Swain nodded and said: "For the ceremony preparationa, there is no need. I will give a better ceremony myself. Are all important people present? "

Nezit nodded but asked slightly: "May I ask, what your highness is going to do?"

"You can see for yourself in a while." saying that, Swain went forward and flew into the air above the Royal Palace. He magnified his voice using magic.

"My name is Swain Odinson. I am the third prince of Asgard and also a son of Queen Friga. From today, I will be your king. Vanaheim shall be ruled by me and I give the promise of protection to you."

After that, he summoned his Eternal Trident. The moment trident appeared, all the oceans became restless and strong winds began to form on the whole Vanaheim.

" I am the master of Oceans and Storms. So per the Royal law, as the most suitable successor, I will now inherit the throne of Vanaheim."

Saying his words, he flew back to the ground and saw Nezit and Traus. He asked: "How was my crowning ceremony?"

Before Nezit could say anyting, Traus spoke: "It was perfect my king. Vanaheim is now scattered. It doesn't need lavish ceremonies or anything else. It only needs a powerful king who can truly belong to it and lead it forward."

Nezit also agreed with Traus words and so did Swain. Swain looked at Nezit in front of

him:

" You can send messages to all the other tribes present on Vanaheim about my crowning. Their leaders doesn't need to come in person but they must send an important person to show a sign of submission under the rule."

" I will do as you wish, my king." after saying that, Nezit left them.

Swain looked at Traus in front of him who was still bowling respectfully:

"Traus, you don't have to do this anymore. You are my friend as well as my teacher. You are making me embarrassed."

" There's no way I can be disrespectful, you are now the king of Vanaheim. It is only my duty to serve and respect you."

Swain was really helpless seeing Traus's stubborn appearance but he still said "But don't do it when we both are alone. And now this is an order."

Hearing his words, Traus nodded.

"OK, now take me to the inheritance of previous King Njord, my uncle." He is really excited thinking about the Artifacts of the previous King. Mother informed him about these things before coming here.

Traus nodded and took him to King Njord's collection.

" After the war, all the important treasures were transported to Asgard, and now only the artifacts of the previous King remains, which is used as a sign of legacy."

Swain nodded and looked at the items in front of him. It was a heavy blue armor, a crown and a silver spear. Armor seemed to be made of Uru metal and was the same as Father's destroyer. Crown was blue and silver, showing the traditions of Vanaheim. And the last item, silver spear, was also made of Uru metal and looked like a powerful artifact.

But now he can't use them as he has his own more powerful weapon and he likes to wear light weight armors. There is no way he would wear such a heavy thing. So he can only take the crown.

The moment he touched the crown, a brilliant silver light appeared and all the items flew toward Swain. He was surprised to find that the heavy Uru armor was fusing with his light weight armor and the silver spear was fusing with his trident. And the crown also flew toward his head.

Traus was surprised seeing the scene. He wanted to help but the light dissipated and a figure appeared in front him. He was surprised by the changes.

Swain appeared wearing a light weight body armor which was full silver in color showing its metallic luster. In his hands was his Golden trident, but now there were exquisite silver lines on the Golden trident. And the most special was the crown placed on his head. it was silver in color with a large blue gem in the middle of it.

But the thing which surprised Traus the most was the aura of Swain. His strength seems to have more than doubled all of a sudden. There was a unique aura around him.
