A huge number of elves gathered inside the palace's hall. The queen was there, as well as all the generals of the army.
Only a few humans were inside. Wisa, Jane, Myria, Lilia, Theo, Kai, Mohe, and Bill. Arthur asked the queen so that they could be present, and she obviously agreed to it.
It was the day of the king's ceremony. An event that happened one time in a century to see if someone was worthy of being the Elven king or queen.
Merethyl told Arthur that one king who ruled had a daughter, and after he died, she was the only one worthy to be the next ruler of the kingdom, and then the king was from an outside family, just like Merethyl.
The only problem was that in thousands of years there was no man or woman worthy to rule the kingdom, so Merethyl stayed in command, as she was the strongest elf that was still alive.
She hoped that this time would be different, and that Arthur would truly be accepted by the Life Tree and become the next ruler of these lands.
