Roven was a prideful Kingsman clan soldier.
After he surrendered Geonmi planet, he fell back to Dombivli to aid the clan in the inevitable final showdown, however, he was reduced to the duty of a royal guard since the other commanders did not trust him enough to take him to the battlefield.
Roven could not help but sigh at this situation, the only reason why he peacefully surrendered to Max on Geonmi was because he did not want needless slaughter of his men.
The situation there was hopeless, which was the only reason why he surrendered. He himself was not afraid of death and would gladly lay down his life for the clan if need be.
Unfortunately, his loyalty was misunderstood, just because he was not foolhardy to lead all of his men to death, he was ostracised by his own people.
When Roven was requested by the two young princes to help them flee the planet, Roven felt his blood boil at the cowardice, but he did not show it as he loyally completed his duty of escorting them to the teleportation centre before the enemy soldiers could capture them.
He himself did not run away, as regardless of the lord which ruled it, this was the planet where he was born, and these were the people he wanted to serve.
For 7 years of his life, he faithfully served the Kingsman clan, however, except for Will Kingsman, nobody was worthy of his loyalty.
The prince's for whom his men died on Geonmi, and the countless soldiers fought today in Dombivli, ran away like cowards without ever lifting a sword at the enemy.
They were not men worthy of his respect, instead he could not help but admire Ravan.
The man led his army from the frontlines, fought shoulder to shoulder with his men, often picking the most dangerous opponents for himself, while shielding his people from harm.
He was a leader worth following and Roven wanted an opportunity to serve him.
Making up his mind, he walked out of the teleportation centre and looked at the straggling royal guards fight against the overwhelming number of rebel soldiers.
Decisively making his decision, Roven shouted " KINGSMAN SOLDIERS- THIS IS STRONGMAN ROVEN SPEAKING, THE LORD, ROY KINGSMAN AND HIS BROTHER HAVE ALREADY FLED THE PLANET.
OUR STRUGGLES ARE FOR NOTHING, WITH COMMANDER FARID AND OTHER STRONGMEN DEAD, I AM THE HIGHEST RANKING OFFICER IN THE MILITARY NOW
AND I SEE NO POINT IN CONTINUING THIS FIGHT, WHEN THE LORD WE ARE FIGHTING FOR HAS FLED.
I URGE CAPTAIN RAVAN TO ACCEPT OUR PEACEFUL SURRENDER AND TO MY BROTHERS TO LAY DOWN THEIR ARMS "
Under his shout, all fighting ceased momentarily, as his words resonated with many soldiers.
The rebel soldiers waited for Ravan's orders, while the royal soldiers threw down their weapons and raised their hands in surrender.
Understanding full well, that further fighting was unnecessary, Max accepted the surrender as he shouted " WE ACCEPT"
Deafening cheers spread across the entire city, the war was officially over and the rebel forces were victorious!
The rebel soldiers hugged each other and screamed at the top of their lungs, feeling accomplished at achieving their goal, while the Kingsman soldiers smiled bitterly as they cursed their cowardly lords who had fled.
It was not clear who originated it, but the crowd broke out into a very popular vampire song, as they happily raised captain Ravan over their shoulder and began dancing towards the palace.
Max was passed over from shoulder to shoulder of his men, as they brought him to the palace in absolute grand fashion.
As the rebels stormed the place, the royal guards all bowed their heads as they gave Max their salute, preparing a guard of honour for his entry.
Max personally was extremely tired, every corner of his body ached, however, an incredibly big smile was plastered behind his mask as he could not help but feel on top of the world this moment.
As he glanced around, he saw Severus dancing without a care in the world at the front of his convoy, while the rebel soldiers repeatedly tossed Sebastian in the air as if he were some catch ball, as the little dwarf laughed his heart out.
Eventually, the rebel soldiers stormed the courtroom, packing the place to the brim, as they only left a narrow passage for Max to walk to the throne seat.
" Hahahaha " Max laughed as he looked at the seat that was now his across the hall.
Taking slow steps towards it as he relished every moment of this walk.
He could feel his heart beat rapidly, as endorphins were released in his blood.
THIS WAS HIS SEAT!
HE HAD EARNED THE RIGHT TO SIT THERE!
Eventually Max reached the throne seat, as he rubbed his hands softly around the golden edges and audibly chuckled out loud
The feeling he had today, touching the throne was just like buying a first car, only a thousand times better.
" Ooooooooooooo "
The soldiers hyped Max, and urged him to take a seat, as after soaking in the feeling until he was satisfied, Max finally turned and sat on the throne.
" AAAAAYYYYYYY "
The soldiers cheered and jumped and laughed, this was a moment of great pride and joy for them as well, as their captain, the man who had led them to this glory had finally taken his position at the helm.
" All hail Lord Ravan! The rising star of the vampire monarchy, the ruler and protector of Dombivli City , Geonmi, Wet Planet, Grey House planet and Paratus Capital " Roven shouted, as at that moment everyone in the throne room said in unison
" Hail Hail "
As everyone bent the knee.
