SAD NEWS: Princess Althea Finally Reveals Late Queen’s Secret Decree — Queen Celeste’s New Role Stuns King Alaric

📍 Silverhaven Palace – 10:45 AM Today

In a solemn and historic announcement, Princess Althea of Eldoria has revealed a sealed royal decree left behind by her late mother, Queen Isolde, just days before her passing. The decree, kept hidden in the Royal Archives for over a year, outlines a dramatic shift in the monarchy — and names Queen Celeste, wife of the current King Alaric, as the new Guardian of the Crown.

“This was my mother’s final wish,” Princess Althea said in an emotional statement. “She foresaw a time of great change — and she believed Celeste was the one who could lead us through it.”

👑 A New Role: Guardian of the Crown

The title “Guardian of the Crown” hasn’t been used in over 200 years. It is a ceremonial and advisory position once granted only to monarchs-in-waiting or royal protectors in times of crisis.

“This is more than symbolic,” said royal historian Cedric Malwyn. “It’s a sign of Queen Isolde’s enduring influence — and a reshaping of the royal hierarchy.”

😲 King Alaric Taken by Surprise

Sources within Silverhaven Palace confirm that King Alaric was stunned by the news. Though he gave his blessing publicly, insiders report he was unaware the decree existed.

“He respects his mother’s legacy,” one advisor noted, “but the surprise nature of this revelation has caused tension behind closed doors.”

👥 Public Reactions & Unrest

The Eldorian public is divided. Supporters of Queen Celeste view the decree as a validation of her leadership and quiet strength. Others worry it signals deeper rifts within the royal household.

Across the realm, palace flags were lowered to half-staff for one hour in remembrance of Queen Isolde’s reign —
