The palace has been thrown into chaos after a shocking midnight announcement by Princess Helena, who revealed King Edmund’s explosive final wish during his ongoing health battle. The revelation was so stunning that Prince Alaric, the heir to the throne, reportedly collapsed in tears in front of stunned courtiers.
The Stunning Revelation
In a trembling voice, Helena declared: “The King has made his decision. His final wish will change the course of this monarchy forever. The reign of Queen Maribel is effectively over.”
Gasps filled the chamber. Courtiers whispered in disbelief. For decades, Queen Maribel has held the kingdom in her iron grip — and now, with the King’s health faltering, her position appears to have crumbled overnight.
The Prince’s Breakdown
Witnesses described Prince Alaric as “utterly devastated.” Moments after Helena’s words, he was seen covering his face with his hands, collapsing into a chair as tears streamed down his cheeks.
“This is not what he wanted to hear,” an insider revealed. “The King’s decision changes everything about succession and the balance of power within the palace.”
Palace in Chaos
By dawn, Belthorne Palace was in full-blown crisis. Guards were stationed at every entrance, advisors rushed in and out, and Queen Maribel reportedly locked herself in her chambers, refusing to comment.
One aide confessed: “This could be the biggest royal rift in centuries. The King’s wish is a bombshell no one saw coming.”
Public in Shock
News of the King’s explosive final wish spread like wildfire across the kingdom. Crowds gathered at palace gates, chanting and waving banners, while social media erupted with hashtags like #FinalWish and #MaribelOut.
“She’s ruled too long — maybe this is justice,” one supporter wrote online. Another countered: “No matter what, this is a tragedy for the family. The King’s health should be the priority.”
The End of an Era?
Royal commentators are already calling this the end of Queen Maribel’s reign and the beginning of a new era for Belthorne. “This is seismic,” one expert declared. “The King’s final wish has detonated a political and emotional bomb right at the heart of the monarchy.”
As the palace reels, one truth is clear: the future of the crown has never been more uncertain.
