Chapter 20

Long Live The Queen

Kassandria Egypt

On her throne she consulted with the Mages of Egypt about this blood magic ability it would be used to fortify their borders in the North with the Balkans and Crimea and in the east on the Persian borders only Egypt would remain the same Due to the natural terrain of the country.

"your majesty I do believe this is the best course of action for the security of the Empire have these ward stones placed at the sections you want to keep open for whatever reason like trade or future expansion".

Kassandra looked at the white gems that had been given to her they were so little that they could fit in the palm of her hand with ease she dismissed her mages and ordered her generals to enter the room as she looked at the map of her empire.

It took another 2 days for her and her Generals to decide on the best locations for pathways in the Balkan's there would be 2 pathways one near the coast and one further inland in what is modern day Romina.

In the Crimea region which also included part of modern-day Russia near the Caucuses there would be on pathway, and finally in Persia there would be one on what would be called the silk road to Trade could continue to thrive and one that led into India.

With her orders given her generals had the gems dispatched to the chosen locations across the empire while Kassandra would return to Sparta to deal with her Traitor Grandfather and his supporters her mother Gorgo had searched the city and arrested 26 members of the council that supported attempted rebellion some of them were senior members of the Spartan council.

This alone would give Kassandra the ammunition she needed to change the constitution completely for as it was the Empire would not last more than a century even with her on the throne, no change must happen if the Empire was to endure the centuries to come.

The council stood as the Immortal Queen walked into the chambers and took her Place on the single Throne that now sat there looking at the old men who made up the governing body of her Empire.

"Members of the council the House of Eurypontid and their supporters have been declared Traitors of Sparta and as such have been stripped of their Rights Citizenship and honours, they are now nothing more that Slaves to the House of Agiad"

Kassandra paused as the council mumbled in agreement and partly in shock at her judgment however she was nowhere near done.

" This Betrayal has shown me that the old ways of governing the New Sparta are indeed outdated as such I am changing the constitution from this moment on the council will no longer have any control over the crown or the military, this council will be reorganised so all regions of the Empire I have conquered will have a say in my Court, gentlemen you must decide are you with me"

The 4 spartan guards lowered their Spears towards the now very quiet council, "or against me" Kassandra finished.

The new order came into place with relative ease the empire was politicly split into regions with 2 councillors each in truth is was manly for show all real power was now held by her and Sparta would endure but now she had one more thing to deal with.

It was finally time Kassandra had the Traitors taken to Egypt to the same Sight that the Grand Vizier had Created centuries ago taking her place in the middle as the spells caster her slaves were placed on the selected points needed with a spartan solder standing behind them ready to Strike.

To the shock of her Grandfather she unleashed her true power as her skin turned golden with golden eyes it was at this point, he knew he had ended his family line over nothing more than pride and jealousy as his Demigoddess Granddaughter spoke in the Egyptian language.

"in the name of the old gods of this land I call upon the powers of the blood take the blood of these Traitors and redeem it in the defence of my lands for as long as this world should endure"

With a slam of her spear the spartans ended the lives of the traitors the lifeforce flowed from there body's powering the Queens spell sending golden beams of light to the far reaches of the Empire.

As large impassable mountain ranges were formed leaving the pathways that were protected by the ward stones and in places such as Romania the bolts of light-struck mountains that already existed causing huge sections of them to simply vanish making it easier for solders to move around.

This took place over a 24-hour period and once completed the sheer amount of power used even in her true form tired her greatly, she barely made it back to Kassandria before she collapsed from exhaustion it would take a week for her to awaken.

Meanwhile across the Empire Spartan engineers started the fortifications needed to protect the pathways into the Empire and the roads needed to connect them to major roads or towns.

When Kassandra returned to Sparta her people bowed in reverence she truly was a goddess on earth Kassandra made her way to the palace Throne room hey royal guard lined the way to the throne her mother standing on the right side of it Turning around she sat on the throne her trusted companion Ikaros too his place on her shoulder.

The guards stood at attention and yelled. "LONG LIVE THE IMORTAL QUEEN!" "LONG LIVE QUEEN KASSANDRA OF THE SPARTAN EMPIRE!"

It was the year 468BCE and the conquests of the Immortal Queen Kassandra of the Royal House Of Agiad were completed she was now 30 years old and had ruled for 12 years one thing was certain that the world as we knew it was forever changed starting with a new law Kassandra passed all magical children once they turned 7 years old would attend Magical academy's across the Empire until they turned 17 the first was to be built in Egypt as well as the great Library of Kassandria were all great works of knowledge were to be stored and preserved forever.
