Legendary Broken Player - VRMMORPG

Chapter 556: Chapter 556 - Royal Recognition and Rising Tensions



In the heart of bustling Deadbay City, a crowd had gathered around the grand stage, where Princess Alora Rogwyn stood, flanked by her Knight Grand Crosses, Lionell and Mercy.

"I apologize for the Kingdom's delay in responding to the disaster that has befallen this city," Princess Alora began. "Yet I am grateful for your efforts in defending it. Let us be proud of our success together."

Applause and cheers erupted from the crowd in response to her words.

Then, her tone grew resolute. "The Kingdom will not sit idly by! First, we will aid in the restoration of this city. And second, we are taking a firm stance against those who attacked us. We will go to their lands and demand they pay for the destruction they have caused."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The crowd's cheers grew louder, swept up in her words.

Broken, Ivana, Elincia, and the others stepped up onto the stage, with Broken taking his place on the far right, and the others following in order according to their contributions to the city.

Princess Alora approached him, holding a badge shaped like a shield and sword against the royal flag of the Dissidia Kingdom.

"This is the Hero of Deadbay City badge, awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions," Alora announced. "Today, I am honored to personally present this to you, Baron Broken, in recognition of your service to the Dissidia Kingdom."

"I accept this award with gratitude, Your Highness," Broken replied, bowing respectfully.

Alora's smile as she carefully pinned the badge to his right chest, sealing the honor before the assembled crowd.

[Congratulations! You have been awarded the coveted gold badge of "Hero of Dissidia Kingdom" in recognition of your outstanding achievements.]

Following Broken's honor, Princess Alora presented golden badges to Ivana and Elincia for their achievements, while the other contributors received silver and bronze badges.

Turning to the crowd, Alora's voice rang out with pride.

"With these badges, the Heroes of Dissidia will always be granted priority in defending the Kingdom. They will participate in key decision-making meetings, with their votes considered in determining the Kingdom's future, alongside our top officials."

The title of Hero of Dissidia Kingdom holds a prestige equal to the Kingdom's highest- ranking officials. Though Heroes do not possess land like nobility, they command immense respect from Dissidia's citizens.

Additionally, they receive frequent invitations to major events and enjoy opportunities to influence the Kingdom's path. Unlike the Knights, bound by duty to the Kingdom, Heroes enjoy greater freedom to make their mark independently.

Alora then turned back to the crowd. "In recognition of all those involved in defending this city, let me assure you the Kingdom will not overlook anyone's contribution, big or small, including the efforts of other players who fought valiantly here. Rewards will be distributed periodically by my Knight Grand Cross."

[New Title Acquired: Hero of Dissidia Kingdom]

[Status: Higher standing in the Dissidia Kingdom, granting priority access to the royal palace and confidential information.]

[Role: Active defender with opportunities to influence Kingdom matters.]

[Stat Boost: Overall damage increases by 10% when defending the Dissidia Kingdom.]

With their new standing in the Kingdom, defending Dissidia would come with exceptional rewards. The opportunities were already opening up.

Princess Alora then stepped forward, her gaze settling on Broken.

"You have shown great dedication to the Kingdom, Baron Broken," she said firmly, "both by joining the Kingdom's elite and through your work in building up Slumdon Town and defending Deadbay City.

"In recognition of this, the Kingdom will be sending fifty skilled workers to Slumdon Town to assist in its development over the next five years."

Broken gave a respectful nod, "I am honored to accept this award, Your Highness."

Alora offered him a warm smile before moving on to speak with Ivana.

Receiving fifty workers for Slumdon Town was a massive boon for Broken. Even better, the Kingdom would cover their wages. He felt a broad grin forming-it was a remarkable opportunity for his town's growth.

The other players at the event couldn't help but voice their thoughts.

"I think Broken really made out well with this one."

"Yeah, he scored a Legendary item, a new knight, and now he's getting Kingdom support to develop his city!"

"Damn, I want to be that close to Princess Alora. Imagine being able to smell her perfume up close."

"She's so beautiful. I feel like I could die just watching her from afar."

"Oh my God, if only I could marry her!"

"Isn't there a rumor that Broken has a special relationship with Princess Alora?"

"That's a lie! No way that could actually happen."

"I swear, I'll kill Broken if he gets any closer to Princess Alora."

As the awards ceremony concluded, Princess Alora turned her attention to a more urgent matter: responding to the recent attacks by the Moonlight Fae. In a large conference room in Deadbay City, she assembled her two Knights, Viscount Sean, Broken, and the other members of the Ass Guild.

They were now preparing to face their most pressing threat: the Moonlight Fae, who had grown uncontrollable and had stirred up chaos right within Dissidia Kingdom's borders. All eyes in the room were on Broken as he began recounting the events that had recently unfolded in Deadbay City. He provided a timeline of the key moments, carefully omitting a few crucial details he'd previously discussed with the leaders of the Ass Guild.

He concluded, "So... the Moonlight Fae have indeed found themselves in a difficult position due to the curse affecting them. However, I'm uncertain how they've managed to extend their reach and launch attacks outside their territory. All I can say for certain is that I cannot guarantee we won't see another attack."

Princess Alora's expression turned serious. "We cannot ignore this issue. The Moonlight Fae have trespassed onto Dissidia Kingdom's territory, and we must take appropriate action to

address it."

She paused before continuing, "I recognize the importance of avoiding open conflict between races whenever possible; such wars often lead to greater hostilities. However, given their aggression and the threat they pose to the sovereignty of the Dissidia Kingdom, we have no choice but to respond decisively."

She scanned the room and asked, "Are there any other concerns beyond what we've discussed

here?"
