Armea takes over as Sapiro’s queen after Ybrahim's death

The realm of Sapiro mourned the loss of its king as Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid) passed away.

Wednesday's episode of "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" showed Alena (Gabbi Garcia) being informed of her husband's death.

In tears, Alena expressed that perhaps it was better she was not by his side in his final moments, acknowledging that Ybrahim’s heart had long belonged to someone else.

Ybrahim's lifeless body was shown being carried by guards, laid to rest in a ceremonial setup adorned with floral arrangements, befitting his status as Sapiro’s beloved ruler.

Once he was left alone, Amihan (Kylie Padilla) appeared at the wake.

She lovingly told Ybrahim she was excited to finally be with him again. The late Sang'gre allowed the mystical group of Retre to take his soul, then disappeared once more.

Armea crowned as queen

In the wake of Ybrahim's passing, Sapiro ushered in a new era as his daughter Armea (Ysabel Ortega) was officially crowned queen in a solemn ceremony.

Among those who celebrated Armea's coronation was Lira (Mikee Quintos), Ybrahim's eldest child.

Despite the honor, Armea expressed hesitation in her new position, admitting that she feels unworthy of the title and even suggested that Lira should lead instead, given her seniority as Ybrahim's firstborn.

However, Lira reassured her that she had long declined the throne, believing that Armea was both destined and deserving to rule Sapiro.

With humility and determination, Armea vowed to do her best as queen, promising to serve and protect Sapiro as her father once did.
