11 Royalty?!

Kaylin stammered as he was surprised by this. Realizing that Zayxin had heard what the Dragr has said as well, the system smugly reminding him of course she would hear something that was meant to be publicly heard. Taking not as well that it was not just the three of them, there were at least a dozen if not more Draugr now facing where he was doing the same kneel and bow. "P-Prince?! I-I just only awoke, is that wise to call me such an honored title only after just meeting me?" Kaylin questioningly exclaimed.

'We, the Draugr, would agree with this statement you make Prince. However your presence and energy that you give off. Plus how you reacted and treated us with respect and equally. Is very similar to our last Lich King. If not the same, even stronger and more charismatic. We will not follow under your command to war, but we will protect you with our lives within the walls of Necropolis' The Sage Draugr stated.

[System Notice: For Soul Contract to be formed with the Draugr race you must become the new Lich King, how this will be done, is unknown at this time.]

"I shall take what you said as very high praise. However, there is one issue. I understand that the Draugr people are a hive mind of sorts because technically not all Draugr are human. Along with this, the Draugr wont follow me to war, but others things can be taken into consideration, is that correct?" Kaylin asked, trying to sound confident from what he could glean from the information that he has heard so far.

The Sage Draugr made a gravely chuckle, 'Superb! Wonderful my Prince! You found the hints that I had left in my words to test and guide your perceptiveness! Yes you may talk to us and decisions can be done quickly en-masse due to our hivemind!'

Zayxin looked up at Kaylin as this took place. She knew Kaylin was smart, and cunning, but this was beyond her wildest dreams. Only to have her standards broken more in just another quick second.

Kaylin smiled wide, crossing his right leg over his left at the thighs, placing his left hand on the rim to the sarcophagus and leaning on that hand, his right hand going to his cheek, placing his index finger upon his cheek as if thinking. "Then, first order of business, right off the sarcophagus as you would. You are now Dage, The Sage Draugr, as aide to myself in the goings of Necropolis of the Tundra, this name is what I consider so be fitting of one of your tittle. Is this agreed by all?!" Kaylin raised his voice to show a slight hint of authority, making what he said echo in the hall that they were in.

As this was said, Zayxin looked upon Kaylin as he said this, and a thought came across her mind that she kept to herself, but the Draugr could not keep to themselves.

'Such menacing beauty!' Roared all the Draugr in the hall.

[System Notice: Your beauty is much more stunning than you realize. Your actions have raised all morale in Necropolis and there is no contest that you should be the new ruler once you can be the next Lich King.]

[System Notice: The Draugr race far and wide in the world now know of you and shall start making their way here, nothing or no one can take the place that only you have been deemed worthy of by the Draugr.]

'I humbly accept the name Dage, My Prince. Shall you get dressed so we may take a tour of Necropolis?' Asked Dage.

Before Kaylin answered he looked upon Dage, he could see that the Draugr was shaking, not in fear but in something else in emotion.

[System Notice: Dage is so honored by your presence and what you have said already that he is shaking in happiness and excitement.]

"Rise then, honored Draugr, do not let me keep you all from your tasks just because I am Prince, your duties to keeping Necropolis safe is as important if not more so that we may all have a home! Yes Dage, I humbly accept that we do just that."

All rose as Kaylin finished and ran off in enthusiasm, wanting to prove that they deserved the praise they just received from the just awoken Prince. A tap was felt on Kaylin's shoulder as he turned to see Zayxin with clothes and shoes in hand, along with a mask.
