A few days passed, and a few changes had begun to settle in the kingdom.
For starters, Martins was back to being the king of Verdenez, but under the control of Elizabeth.
Most of the people who were once under the influence of his star blessing reverted to normal.
Including Alfred, who was considering retiring as Martin's Mystero.
Unlike Sylus, whose aspect [Lordship Avails] stops his underlings from betraying him—or rather, gets them punished if they do—
Martin didn't have the same blessing. His subordinates only ever stayed out of respect and trepidation.
With that loss, they had nothing to hold on to.
Although Elizabeth had already made it clear that no one was to spread the news past the castle walls. Martin's reputation getting spoiled would do no good for Sylus.
At the same time, a secret burial was held for the first queen, Layla, and Elizabeth also cleared her name to the public, explaining how Layla had agreed to the whole thing.
