House of Agon #6.5 'Queen's Order'

[Crystal is swamped with the work required in her new position as Queen. While Crystal is busy and overworked, the Council takes the opportunity to incite discord in the populace.]

"You can't do this to us, who gave you the right," A man screamed.

Crystal had just been crowned the Queen of the Inhumans and the populace was celebrating. Since the moment the legendary Midnight King took a knee, there had been nonstop cheering. The Inhumans on the World Farm were given the full history of the Inhumans or as much of it as the Royal Family could salvage in the case of the other tribes. Black Bolt had become a legendary figure and a symbol of both protection and fear. They knew that he had led the Inhumans for a long time, and more than once he had destroyed their cities. They also knew the lesser-known story of the Death of the Inhumans before them. So to not only see that legendary figure appear but also bow to the new Queen, family or not was a sight that amazed them.

The celebrations had gotten loud but considering the entire city was celebrating it was to be expected. Although loud and enthusiastic they were not rowdy. So the crowd found it easy to pay attention to the situation of the man. Several men surrounded him and started to drag him away.

The same scene could be seen all over the city. Hundreds of people were being dragged out and away from crowds under the eyes of everyone. A few people tried to argue or stop these people from being dragged away, but they were all met with the same answer making them hesitate to go any further.

"Queen's Order."

The festive mood and celebration around the city ended very quickly and a heavy feeling permeated the city. The people started to wonder if they had chosen correctly.

When writing the last chapter I forgot I had this one kind of ready. So I decided to turn this into a half maybe even quarter chapter.
