I shall spend the last months ahead, fighting the Civil War, passing policies helping the poor, prevent Corporate corruption, and hold them accountable for their actions, it has been an honor, being your Emperor, and I thank you, for giving me the opportunity to serve, the Monarchy has changed me, and so did the people. Thank you, and I wish ya a great sunday" -DKA's address to the nation, Sunday, March 18, 2018.
Behind the scenes and aftermath
On the dawn of March 18, 2018, his scandal was so controversial he was questioned for his own criticism of President, Trump for his own collusion of election meddling from Russia, DKA avoided these questions and made a personal decision encouraged by his stepfamily, DKA ordered the press to prepare the address of the nation speech, which was supposed tobe every monday, but DKA broke that tradition.
As DKA prepares to speak, he was asked by the press to take pictures, DKA rejected the requests and locked the press out, except for the cameras. DKA prayed secretly to his Indigenous spirits and began speaking once the cameras became live.
After DKA made his address, DKA was feeling a sense of worrying, DKA's stepson, Nicholas Brunswick, told DKA, "They'll understand one day." DKA told his stepson, "If only I watch you grow." DKA went back to his office and do his daily drinking, watching Family Guy, and yell at the TV. In the afternoon, as spring is approaching, DKA recovers from his drunkness and made plans to take a summer off vacation to Hawaii, both DKA and his stepson, Nicholas, have most in common, History is one of these common interests, DKA suggested to Nicholas that once they go to Hawaii this June, they will take a trip to the Hawaiian History Institute and bond together as Stepfather and Stepson, Nicholas accepted the offer.
DKA went to bed depressed and told his wife that he hoped a vacation to Hawaii will take his mind off of conditions. DKA ordered JSM to handle the Monarchy until he returns by August to prepare his stepson for college in the United Kingdom. DKA, not ready to release his stepson from his nest, DKA was reminded of the pain of his children leaving on their own when their time comes, making DKA even more depressed, but proud as a man who has done his work on earth.
