Royal Parliament Hall – Midday
The Royal Parliament Hall was a place of grandeur, where noble lords, high-ranking officials, and Magic Knight representatives gathered to dictate the future of the Clover Kingdom.
For years, the King's Throne had remained empty, a symbol of the monarch's negligence. The nobles had long grown comfortable ruling in his stead, treating the parliament as their personal playground for wealth and power.
But today, everything changed.
As Solis Vermillion strode into the chamber, all eyes turned to him. Dressed in a finely tailored crimson robe, golden sunlight glinting off his regal Vermillion cloak, he exuded an unshakable aura of dominance.
Then, he ascended the throne.
The chamber fell into a stunned silence. Nobles gasped. Magic Knight Captains exchanged glances.
A wave of unease passed through the room.
"The prince has taken the throne?"
"Has the King finally abdicated?"
"Does he even have the authority to do this?"
Among them, Duke Regulus Kira, a powerful noble and distant relative of the royal family, stood in outrage. "Prince Solis, what is the meaning of this? The King has not assigned anyone to act in his stead—"
Solis raised his hand, his calm yet oppressive voice cutting through the murmurs.
"That changes today."
A suffocating heat spread through the hall. The nobles closest to him shuddered, their bodies drenched in sweat. Even the magic knights felt it—a raw, untamed power, like standing beneath the midday sun without shade.
Duke Regulus hesitated for a brief moment but quickly composed himself. "This is outrageous! You are overstepping your authority—"
A pulse of magic energy erupted from Solis's body. The temperature soared.
Nobles clutched their throats, struggling to breathe. Beads of sweat rolled down their faces, their clothes dampening instantly. Even the most powerful among them could feel the invisible weight pressing down on their shoulders.
Solis's golden eyes burned with the intensity of a sunlit inferno. "Overstepping? No."
He leaned forward on the throne, his voice calm, yet unyielding.
"I am merely reclaiming what was abandoned."
Duke Regulus gritted his teeth but refused to back down. "Your father has not—"
CRACK.
The marble floor beneath Solis's seat fractured under the sheer force of his magic. Sunlight radiated from his body, casting long, ominous shadows across the chamber.
"My father has forsaken his duty," Solis said coldly. "So I will fulfill it in his place."
His aura flared, and a golden wave of magic pressure swept across the nobles. Some fell to their knees, panting from the overwhelming heat. Even those with powerful mana could feel their reserves being drained, as if they were standing in an endless desert under an unforgiving sun.
"I will not tolerate incompetence. If you wish to challenge me, then stand."
Silence.
No noble dared to rise.
Solis's gaze swept across the chamber. "I thought so."
The New Bill: Strengthening the Kingdom
As the nobles remained subdued, Solis continued.
1. Increased Funding for the Magic Knights
• Additional resources to improve training, recruitment, and combat readiness.
• Expansion of fortifications in the Forsaken Realm to defend against rogue mages and border threats.
2. Formation of a New Squad: The Sun Guard
• A law enforcement unit stationed in commoner regions to protect them from crime and abuse.
• Independent from noble influence and reporting directly to the Wizard King.
• The squad captain will be chosen through a merit-based tournament.
The Nobles' Fear & Resistance
The nobles, still shaken, attempted to protest.
"A squad answerable only to the Wizard King? That strips the nobility of power!"
"Who will lead this? Another noble? You want to create your own private army?"
Solis let the tension linger before answering.
"This is not about nobility or commoners. This is about protecting our people."** His voice was steady. "You sit here in comfort while crime festers in the Forsaken Realm. Bandits roam freely. Children starve while you hoard wealth."**
His golden aura surged again. The sunlight intensified, casting a divine radiance over his figure.
"That ends now."
Nobles tensed, realizing they had no power to oppose him. The weight of his magic alone had silenced them.
Magic Knight Reactions
As the tension simmered, the Magic Knight Captains observed with interest.
Fuegoleon Vermillion smirked slightly. "Solis is taking control. Just as I expected."
Nozel Silva narrowed his eyes. "This level of pressure… he's far more dangerous than I thought."
Jack the Ripper let out a sharp laugh. "This kid's got bite! I like it."
Yami Sukehiro exhaled a puff of smoke. "Hah. What a crazy royal. If only more nobles had the guts to actually do something."
William Vangeance turned to Julius Novachrono, whose eyes gleamed with excitement.
"What do you think, Wizard King?"
Julius grinned. "I think he just changed history."
"And?" William pressed.
Julius's smile widened. "I approve."
His declaration sealed the debate.

✅ Nobles Fear Solis: They realize he is no longer a figurehead but a ruler in his own right.
✅ Magic Knight Captains Take Notice: Some view Solis as a future threat or ally.

As Solis left the chamber, he knew.
This was just the beginning
