Stepped could be heard as the reselling of armor slowly came closer and closer towards an cheering crowd of people, the air of cold as ever where he could feel the cold assaulting his armor. One would think that wearing armor in the north was not such an good idea but nevertheless. The armor had been a sign of the royal family since the founding of the kingdom, in the times of civil war against the empire a hundred years ago. Arriving at the balcony of the palace, carved out of the mountain that was still ongoing till this day. Only the throne first floor and half of the second floor had been carved finished under the guides of the late High king Bjorn Hamsen. Putting his hands on the stone balcony he looked out to his people as he took his helmet off.

 " MY PEOPLE! Our great high king Bjorn has passed away sleeping quietly." He shouted out as he saw his own breath in the cold." It saddens me that the gods has called upon our king to join them in the realm of Valhalla may his legacy life on through out the ages and be remembered of the good deeds he has done to you, my people. I Olaf Hamsen the second hereby announces accept the title of High king to protect my people, to care for my people, and lastly. He looked back at his little brother that stood in the background, with a child smile. " TO BRING OUR GREAT KINGDOM INTO AN NEW AGE!" He faced back to the people as they were cheering before Olaf made hand signs for them to quiet down " As the first action of my rule I hereby declare to set an mighty funeral to our great high king Bjorn. The second announcement is that our monthly great hunt is finally behining !" The people was cheering again as Olaf slowly turned around and walked into the palace again, followed by the royal guard and his little brother. The oak wooden doors, with the carvings of his family creed on split in two on each sides. 

" My lord that was just brilliant how you made the public cheer for you " An advisor came up to olaf as he bowed " A people has to have a high king that knows his people thus preventing the king to neglect his people in a chance of rebellion will rise in harsh times." He said as the metal meeting the stone could be heard echoing mixed with the workers that were carving and polishing the new hallways of the palace. Olaf just gave a warm smile as he walked towards the high kings chamber, seeing that hisd father already had been removed and new sheets had already been put on the bed. Prince Kurt entered the chamber as he stormed towards big big brother.

" You looked so cool brother!" He shouted as he hugged him but quickly jumped back on how cold the armor was. " Uhhh cold. " He said as Olaf after some difficulty had the armor off he just sat himself in the bed. " You know Kurt I hope father is looking down upon us from Valhalla" the sound of sadness could be heard in his voice as Kurt just went over to olaf and hugged him, which in turn also hug back Kurt " Me too brother." A few minutes after an knock on the door killed the silence within the room olaf stood up and walked towards the door and saw one of the royal guards. " Milord your present is requested in the throne room. Jarl Jogen has come to be present at the funeral" Olaf nod as he followed the guard as Kurt followed his brother.
